What do you mean by best prediction, is it multiple choice, a percent, or a number?

Juanita is planting a flower garden. She wants to plant 24 tulips, and twice as many daffodils as tulips. A tulip plant costs $3

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The total cost is $\$168$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the number of tulips

y-----> the number of daffodils

C-----> the total cost

we know that

$x=24\ tulips$

$y=2x$

substitute the value of x

$y=2(24)=48\ daffodils$

Find the total cost

$C=3x+2y$

substitute

$C=3(24)+2(48)=\$168$

AB and BC are tangent to circle D. Find x if AB = 2x + 9 and BC = 3x + 6. Find x.

mestny [16]

It woulds be x+15 because if you take 2x and subtracted from the 3x then you get x and then you add the 9 and 6 witch you get 15

Use implicit differentiation to find the negative slope of a tangent to the circle x^2+y^2=16 at x=-2

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

slope = - $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Differentiating implicitly with respect to x

2x + 2y $\frac{dy}{dx}$ = 0

2y $\frac{dy}{dx}$ = - 2x

$\frac{dy}{dx}$ = - $\frac{2x}{2y}$ = - $\frac{x}{y}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}$ is the measure of the slope of the tangent

rearrange equation to find corresponding y-coordinate of x = - 2

y² = 16 - 4 = 12 = 2 $\sqrt{3}$ ⇒ y = ± 2 $\sqrt{3}$

using x = - 2, y = - 2 $\sqrt{3}$ , then

$\frac{dy}{dx}$ = - $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }$ = - $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3}$

X+7y=24 and x-9y=-24 doing elimination

nirvana33 [79]

The easy thing to do is eliminate x by subtraction

x + 7y = 24
- x - 9y = -24
-------------------
16y = 48

now solve for y and then substitute the value into either original equation to find x
