aalyn [17]

48. 20% of 60 euros would be 12 euros. Decreasing it means to subtract, so 60 - 12 = 48

Differentiate x^2 e^x logx

zimovet [89]

Product rule:

$\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}(x^2e^x\log x)$

$=\dfrac{\mathrm d(x^2)}{\mathrm dx}e^x\log x+x^2\dfrac{\mathrm d(e^x)}{\mathrm dx}\log x+x^2e^x\dfrac{\mathrm d(\log x)}{\mathrm dx}$

Power rule:

$\dfrac{\mathrm d(x^2)}{\mathrm dx}=2x$

The exponential function is its own derivative:

$\dfrac{\mathrm d(e^x)}{\mathrm dx}=e^x$

Assuming the base of $\log x$ is $e$ , its derivative is

$\dfrac{\mathrm d(\log x)}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac1x$

But if you mean a logarithm of arbitrary base $b$ , we have

$y=\log_bx\implies x=b^y=e^{y\ln b}\implies1=e^{y\ln b}\ln b\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}$

$\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{e^{-y\ln b}}{\ln b}=\dfrac1{b^y\ln b}$

$\implies\dfrac{\mathrm d(\log_bx)}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac1{x\ln b}$

So we end up with

$2xe^x\log x+x^2e^x\log x+\dfrac{x^2e^x}x$

$=xe^x(2\log x+x\log x+1)$

20x = 5,500 (divide)

X = 275

Describe and correct any error a student may have made when solving the equation

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The student made an error during the distributive property in the second step where they multiplied 0.15 by -0.2 to equal -0.3 when it should have been -0.03.

Step-by-step explanation:

$0.15(y-0.2)=2-0.5(1-y)\\0.15y-0.03=2-0.5+0.5y\\0.15y-0.03=1.5+0.5y\\100(0.15y-0.03)=100(1.5+0.5y)\\15y-3=150+50y\\15y-3-15y-150=150+50y-15y-150\\-153=35y\\-\frac{153}{35}=y$
