Answer:

Let the price of one book be Rs. x

price of next book is = 1040 - X

C.P of 1st book is Rs. x

Loss = 15%

S.P of 1st book = 85x / 100

C.P of 2nd book = 1040 - X

Profit = 36%

S.P of 2nd book = (1040 - x × 136)/100

(85x)/ 100 - (1040 - x × 136) / 100

85 x= 1040 x 136 - 136 x

85 x + 136 x= 1040 × 136

221 x = 1040 x 136

X = (1040 x 136) / 221

X = 640

So, Cost price for 1st book is 640 Rs. and 2nd book is 1040 - 640 = 400 Rs.

Caroline babysat for two families - the Nelsons and the Smiths. Use the info below to compare her earnings.

Ket [755]

Answer:

She earns $6.50 from the Smiths which is 25 cents more than she earns at the Nelsons.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you must find the hourly rate she earns at the Smiths. This will allow you to compare to the hourly rate that is given for the Nelsons. To find the Smiths hourly rate divide $39 by the 6 hours she babysat there. This will have the hourly rate. 39/6=6.5. This means she earns $6.50 an hour for the Smiths. When comparing the rates it is clear that she earned 25 cents more at the Smiths.

Question 3 (4 MARKS) Find the equation of the tangents to the curve of the function with rule y = x^2 at the points where x = a

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

(0 , -a²)

Step-by-step explanation:

tangent at x = a and x = -a

y = x² (a , a²) and (-a , a²) must be on the curve and tangent to curve

gradient dy/dx = 2x

slope (m) at x = a is <u>2a</u> and slope (m') at x=-a is<u> -2a</u>

line1: (y - a²) / (x - a) = 2a

y - a² = 2a (x - a) y = 2ax - a² ... (1)

line2: (y - a²) / (x + a) = - 2a y = -2ax- a² ... (2)

(1) - (2): 4ax = 0 a≠0 x = 0

y = - a²

I wish I did it right, or ....
