Differentiate y=a/x+b with respect to x, when a and b are constant​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Basile [38]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

-a/(x+b)²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function y = a/x+b

To differentiate, we will use the quotient rule.

dy/dx = (Vdu/dx-Udv/dx)/V²

Let u   = a

v = x+b

Note that differential of a constant is zero

du/dx = 0

dv/dx = 1

Substitute

dy/dx = (x+b)0 - a (1)/(x+b)²

dy/dx = 0 - a/(x+b)²

dy/dx = -a/(x+b)²

• So we know that.....

x represent bags of snack and y is bottles of water.


This equations shows the total amount and the cost of each water bottle and snack:

20.00 = 2.50x + 1.00y

Total: $20.00
Snack: $2.50
Water Bottle: $1.00


And this question shows the total items:

11 = x + y

Which there will be some snack + some water bottle = 11 items


—————————————————————

• Now I’m going to first solve for x, which is the amount of bags of snack.

I will use the equation, 11 = x + y.

(First, we’ll subtract y from both side, since we’re solving for x [UNDO])

11 = x + y
-y = - y
_______
11 - y = x —> so x is equal to 11 minus y.


—————————————————————

• Now we’re going to plug the 11 - y as x in the equation: 20.00 = 2.50x + 1.00y to solve for y.

20.00 = 2.50 (11 - y) + 1.00y

20.00 = 27.5 - 2.50y + 1.00y (Distributed)

20.00 = 27.5 - 1.50y (Combine like terms)

20.00 = 27.5 - 1.50y
-27.5 = -27.5 (Subtract -27.5 both side)
——————————
-7.5 = - 1.50y


-7.5 = -1.50y
—— ——— (Divide both side by -1.50)
- 1.50 = -1.50

5 = y

y is equals to 5, which means that there are 5 water bottles.


Now we know there are 11 items total and because there are 5 water bottles, there will be 6 bags of snacks. 11-5=6

—————————————————————

ANSWER:

They bought 6 bags of snacks! :)

Write an equation for a line with a slope of -2, and a y-intercept of 1.
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

y = -2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Use slope intercept form, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept:

Plug in the slope and y intercept:

y = mx + b

y = -2x + 1

So, the equation of the line is y = -2x + 1
