Answer:

6 pounds of green candy

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r be the weight of red candy

Let g be the weight of green candy

Total weight = 10 pounds

r + g = 10 -------------------------(I)

Total cost = $ 38.50

2.50r + 4.75g = 38.50 --------------(II)

Multiply equation (I) by -2.50

(I)* (-2.50) -2.50r - 2.50g = -25.0

(II) <u>2.50r + 4.75g = 38.50 </u> {Now add and r will be eliminated}

2.25g = 13.50

g =13.50/2.25

g = 6

Plug in the value of g in equation (I)

r + 6 = 10

r = 10 - 6

r = 4

Answer:

The answer to the question provided is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\: \: \: \: \: 5x + 9 = 6x - 2 \\ \frac{ - 5x \: = - 5x }{9 = 1x - 2} \\ \frac{ + 2 \: \: \: \: = + 2}{ \frac{11}{1} = \frac{1x}{1} } \\ 11 = x$

Find dy/dx for (y^2/x) = 18 by implicit differentiation

Natasha2012 [34]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

dy/dx = y/(2x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The product formula can be used, along with the power rule.

d(uv) = du·v +u·dv

__

d(y^2/x) = d(18)

2y·dy/x -y^2/x^2·dx = 0

2x·dy -y·dx = 0 . . . . . . . . multiply by x^2/y

dy/dx = y/(2x) . . . . . . . . add y·dx, divide by 2x·dx

Consider the equation below. f(x) = 2x3 + 3x2 − 336x (a) Find the interval on which f is increasing. (Enter your answer in inter

Vaselesa [24]

We have been given a function $f(x)=2x^3+3x^2-336x$ . We are asked to find the interval on which function is increasing and decreasing.

(a). First of all, we will find the critical points of function by equating derivative with 0.

$f'(x)=2(3)x^{2}+3(2)x^1-336$

$f'(x)=6x^{2}+6x-336$

$6x^{2}+6x-336=0$

$x^{2}+x-56=0$

$x^{2}+8x-7x-56=0$

$(x+8)-7(x+8)=0$

$(x+8)(x-7)=0$

$x=-8,x=7$

So $x=-8,7$ are critical points and these will divide our function in 3 intervals $(-\infty,-8)U(-8,7)U(7,\infty)$ .

Now we will find derivative over each interval as:

$f'(x)=(x+8)(x-7)$

$f'(-9)=(-9+8)(-9-7)=(-1)(-16)=16$

Since $f'(9)>0$ , therefore, function is increasing on interval $(-\infty,-8)$ .

$f'(x)=(x+8)(x-7)$

$f'(1)=(1+8)(1-7)=(9)(-6)=-54$

Since $f'(1)$ , therefore, function is decreasing on interval $(-8,7)$ .

Let us check for the derivative at $x=8$ .

$f'(x)=(x+8)(x-7)$

$f'(8)=(8+8)(8-7)=(16)(1)=16$

Since $f'(8)>0$ , therefore, function is increasing on interval $(7,\infty)$ .

(b) Since $x=-8,7$ are critical points, so these will be either a maximum or minimum.

Let us find values of f(x) on these two points.

$f(-8)=2(-8)^3+3(-8)^2-336(-8)$

$f(-8)=1856$

$f(7)=2(7)^3+3(7)^2-336(7)$

$f(7)=-1519$

Therefore, $(-8,1856)$ is a local maximum and $(7,-1519)$ is a local minimum.

(c) To find inflection points, we need to check where 2nd derivative is equal to 0.

Let us find 2nd derivative.

$f''(x)=6(2)x^{1}+6$

$f''(x)=12x+6$

$12x+6=0$

$12x=-6$

$\frac{12x}{12}=-\frac{6}{12}$

$x=-\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, $x=-\frac{1}{2}$ is an inflection point of given function.
