e buys 3 bags of topsoil she will have enough for the flower bed. Is Laurie correct? Why or why not?
A.Laurie is not correct because the weight of 1 bag of topsoil is equivalent to only 10 pounds.

B.Laurie is correct because 200 ounces is more than 40 pounds.

C.Laurie is correct because the weight of 3 bags of topsoil is exactly 40 pounds.

D.Laurie is not correct because the weight of 3 bags of topsoil is less than 40 pounds.

Use the alternative form of the derivative to find the derivative at x = c (if it exists). (If the derivative does not exist at
KIM [24]

Answer:

The derivative of the function does not exist.

Step-by-step explanation:

The alternative form of a derivative is given by:

f'(c)= \lim_{x \to c} \dfrac{f(x)-f(c)}{x-c}

Our function is defined as:

h(x)=|x+8|

i.e.  h(x)=   -(x+8) when x+8<0

           and   x+8  when x+8≥0

i.e. h(x)=  -x-8   when x<-8

      and   x+8  when x≥-8

Hence now we find the derivative of the function at c=-8

i.e. we need to find the Left hand derivative (L.H.D.) and Right hand derivative (R.H.D) of the function.

The L.H.D at a point 'a' is calculated as:

\lim_{x \to a^-} \dfrac{f(x)-f(a)}{x-a}\\\\=\lim_{h \to0} \dfrac{f(a-h)-f(a)}{a-h-a}= \lim_{h\to 0}  \dfrac{f(a-h)-f(a)}{-h}

Similarly R.H.D is given by:

\lim_{x \to a^+} \dfrac{f(x)-f(a)}{x+a}\\\\=\lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{a+h-a}= \lim_{h\to 0} \dfrac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h}

Now for L.H.D we have to use the function h(x) =-x-8

and for R.H.D. we have to use the function h(x)=x+8

L.H.D.

we have a=-8

\lim_{x \to (-8)^-} \dfrac{h(x)-h(-8)}{x-(-8)}\\\\= \lim_{h \to0} \dfrac{h(-8-h)-h(-8)}{-8-h-(-8)}= \lim_{h\to 0} \dfrac{h(-8-h)-h(-8)}{-h}

= \lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{8+h-8-0}{-h}= \lim_{h \to 0}\dfrac{h}{-h}=-1

similarly for R.H.D.

\lim_{x \to (-8)^+} \dfrac{h(x)-h(-8)}{x-(-8)}\\\\=\lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{h(-8+h)-h(-8)}{-8+h-(-8)}= \lim_{h\to 0} \dfrac{h(-8+h)-h(-8)}{h}

\lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{-8+h+8-0}{h}=\lim_{h \to 0}\dfrac{h}{h}=1

Now as L.H.D≠R.H.D.

Hence, the function is not differentiable.

Mary’s cookie jar opening has a circumference of 24 inches.
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

75.40 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is its circumference, then the answer is self-evident, 24 inches. If it is its diameter, then we must do a little calculation, multiplying the diameter by Pi to reach 75.40 inches.

30 POINTS NEED HELP
KatRina [158]

a. The expression y=5x represent the number of small marbles she has.

b. The expression z=3x+2 represents the number of large marbles she has.

c. Amy has 310 small marbles, 62 medium marbles and  188 large marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Let x represent the number of medium marbles Amy has. Write an algebraic expression to represent the number of small marbles she has.

Medium marbles = x

Let,

Small marbles = y

According to given statement;

She has five times as many small marbles as medium marbles.

y = 5x        Eqn 1

The expression y=5x represent the number of small marbles she has.

b. Write an algebraic expression to represent the number of large marbles she has.

Let,

Large marbles = z

The number of large marbles is two more than three times the number of medium marbles.

z = 3x+2        Eqn 2

The expression z=3x+2 represents the number of large marbles she has.

c. If Amy has a total of 560 marbles, how many of each size does she have?

x+y+z= 560     Eqn 3

Putting value of y and z from Eqn 1 and 2 in Eqn 3

x+(5x)+(3x+2)=560\\x+5x+3x+2=560\\9x=560-2\\9x=558

Dividing both sides by 9

\frac{9x}{9}=\frac{558}{9}\\x=62

Putting x=62 in Eqn 1

y=5(62)\\y=310

Putting x=62 in Eqn 2

z=3(62)+2\\z=186+2\\z=188

Amy has 310 small marbles, 62 medium marbles and  188 large marbles.

PLZ ANSWER PLZ PLZ PLZ HELP 1 QUESTION!!!
JulsSmile [24]

We first must find the value of angle z.


Angle z = 90° - 42°


Angle z = 48°


We now use the sine function to find y.


sin(48°) = 35/y


y = 35/sin(48°)


y = 47.0971455362


We now round off to two decimal places.


y = 47.10


I hope this helps....
