Answer:

They spent the same amount per cupcake ($1.33)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we need to find the unit rate of cost per cupcake. To do that, we divide 8 by 6 and divide 12 by 9. When we do that, we get 1.33 for both. That means they spent the same amount per cupcake ($1.33).

This is so provided that the velocity changes continuously in which case we can apply the mean value theorem. 
<span>Velocity (v) is the derivative of displacement (x) : </span>
<span>v = dx/dt </span>
<span>Monk 1 arrives after a time t* and Monk 2 too. </span>
<span>Name v1(t) and v2(t) their respective velocities throughout the trajectory. </span>
<span>Then we know that both average velocities were equal : </span>
<span>avg1 = avg2 </span>
<span>and avg = integral ( v(t) , t:0->t*) / t* </span>
<span>so </span>
<span>integral (v1(t), t:0->t*) = integral (v2(t), t:0->t*) </span>
<span>which is the same of saying that the covered distances after t* seconds are the same </span>
<span>=> integral (v1(t) - v2(t) , t:0->t*) = 0 </span>
<span>Thus, name v#(t) = v1(t) - v2(t) , then we obtain </span>
<span>=> integral ( v#(t) , t:0->t*) = 0 </span>
<span>Name the analytical integral of v#(t) = V(t) , then we have </span>
<span>=> V(t*) - V(0) = 0 </span>
<span>=> V(t*) = V(0) </span>
<span>So there exist a c in [0, t*] so that </span>
<span>V'(c) = (V(t*) - V(0)) / (t* - 0) (mean value theorem) </span>
<span>We know that V(0) = V(t*) = 0 (covered distances equal at the start and finish), so we get </span>
<span>V'(c) = v#(c) = v1(c) - v2(c) = 0 </span>
<span>=> v1(c) = v2(c) </span>
<span>So there exist a point c in [0, t*] so that the velocity of monk 1 equals that of monk 2. </span>

Solve each equation. Show all your work. Round your answers to four decimal places. (a) 7^4x=10,(b)ln(2)+In(4x-1)=5
KengaRu [80]
A.) 7^4x = 10
log base 10 (7^4X) = log base 10 (10)
4x log base 10 (7) = 1
4x (0.8451) = 1
3.3804x = 1
x = 0.2958

b.) ln(2) + ln(4x-1) = 5
ln (2 * 4x-1) = 5
ln (8x-2) = 5
log base (3) (8x-2) = 5
e^5 = 8x-2
e^5+2 = 8x
x = 18.8016

A card game has 50 cards. After dealing 7 cards to each player, Tupi has 15 cards left over. Solve the equation 50 7p = 15 to fi
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

50 - 7p = 15....subtract 50 from both sides

-7p = 15 - 50

-7p = - 35...divide both sides by -7

p = -35/-7

p = 5 <=== there are 5 players

What is two less than 3 times a number is the same as the number plus 10.
d1i1m1o1n [39]
2 less than (3 times a number) is the same as (the number plus 10)
2 less than (3*x) = (x + 10)
3x - 2 = x + 10
From here, you solve! :)

3x - 2 - x = x + 10 - x
2x - 2 = 10
2x - 2 + 2 = 10 + 2
2x = 12
2x / 2 = 12 / 2
x = 6

Hope this helps! :)
