Check the picture below.
notice that the triangle ADH, since the segment AL is an angle bisector, meaning it cuts the angle A in two equal halves, then the triangle ADH is only using half of A.
Answer: 13
Step-by-step explanation:
If you remember the quadratic equation formula;
You can easily extract what is under the root to find the discriminant.
a = 3
b = 7
c = 3
X= cost per cherry pie
y= cost per pumpkin pie
NICOLE
1x + 9y= $60
LISA
11x + 4y= $90
STEP 1
multiply Nicole's equation by -11
-11(1x + 9y)= -11($60)
multiply -11 by all terms
(-11 * x) + (-11 * 9y)= (-11 * 60)
-11x - 99y= -660
STEP 2
add Nicole's new equation from step 1 to Lisa's equation to solve for y (using the elimination method)
-11x - 99y= -660
11x + 4y= 90
the x terms "cancel out"
-95y= -570
divide both sides by -95
y= $6 per pumpkin pie
STEP 3
substitute y value into either original equation to solve for x
x + 9y= $60
x + 9(6)= 60
x + 54= 60
subtract 54 from both sides
x= $6 per cherry pie
CHECK
11x + 4y= $90
11(6) + 4(6)= 90
66 + 24= 90
90= 90
ANSWER: Each cherry pie costs $6 and each pumpkin pie costs $6.
Hope this helps! :)
Less than, because if you add 15+8 it equals 23 so less than
To get the extrema, derive the function.
You get y' = 2x^-1/3 - 2.
Set this equal to zero, and you get x=0 as the location of a critical point.
Since you are on a closed interval [-1, 1], those points can also have an extrema.
Your min is right, but the max isn't at (1,1). At x=-1, you get y=5 (y = 3(-1)^2/3 -2(-1); (-1)^2/3 = 1, not -1).
Thus, the maximum is at (-1, 5).
