You and a friend went to Taco Bell for lunch.

Mathematics

Let’s make a pair of equations, one for what you ordered, one for what your friend ordered. We’ll have x represent soft tacos and y represent burritos.

Your order: 3x + 3y = 11.25

Your friend’s order: 4x + 2y = 10

The first thing I gather using the information above is that burritos are more expensive then tacos, right? Your order is more expensive, with 1 less taco and 1 more burrito than your friend’s. But now we need to find out just how much more burritos cost.

To do that, pick an equation and simplify it for either x or y. I’ll choose the second equation, because it has a simpler answer. Let’s see what y equals for that one.
2y = 10 - 4x
y = 5 - 2x

Burritos cost 5 minus the cost of two tacos. Just replace y with this in our other equation.
3x + 3(5-2x) = 11.25
Use the distributive property.
3x + 15 - 6x = 11.25
15 - 3x = 11.25
-3x = -3.75
3x = 3.75
One taco costs $1.25
It’s easy to find out what the other variable equals once you have one already. Just pick either of the equations and know how much a taco costs. I’ll jump back to the second one.

4(1.25) + 2y = 10
5 + 2y = 10
2y = 5
y = 2.5

As predicted, burritos cost more. One taco costs $1.25. One burrito costs $2.50. With problems like these, you can always double-check the answers if you’d like. Just plug in the numbers.

My answer is correct, though :)

Find the derivative of f(x) = 9x + 5 at x = 7.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
The derivative of a variable raised to exponent of n, x^n is equal to the product of n and x raised to exponent of n-1.
                                   d(x^n) = (n)(x^n-1)
So, from the given
                                 d(9x + 5) = (1)(9x^1-0)  + 5(0)
                                                = 9
The given value of x is irrelevant to this item because the derivative does not contain any variable x.

Find the intervals on which f(x)=2xx2+64 increases.
Shtirlitz [24]

f(0)=64, f(1)=66, f(2)=72, f(3)=82, f(4)=96,...=2,6,10,14,...=2{1,3,5,7,...}
This can be written 2{2x+1}, so the intervals on which f(x) increases are 4x+2.
