1/2 n + 10.5 =3.5 find the value of n

Mathematics
1 answer:
vova2212 [387]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

n= -14

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert \frac{1}{2} into a decimal:

\frac{1}{2} as a decimal is 0.5

now the equation is 0.5n+10.5=3.5

Move the constant to the right and change its sign:

0.5n=3.5-10.5

Calculate the difference:

0.5n=3.5-10.5

0.5n= -7

Divide both sides of the equation by 0.5:

0.5n÷0.5= -7÷0.5

n= -14

Hope this helps!! <3

The hat company received a shipment of 60 novelty baseball caps. Of the caps, 1/3 had bug antenna, 2/5 had moose antlers, and th
levacccp [35]

Answer:

18 plastic propellers, 18 Bug Antenna, 24 moose antlers,

Step-by-step explanation:

When we multiply our total sum of 60 by certain decimal values by converting the factions to decimals we can get each type of hats count.

1/3 works out to be 0.30

60×0.3 = 18

2/5 works out to be 0.40

60×0.4 = 24

To find out the remaining amount that is plastic propellers you subtract the added hats and the total value.

60 - (18 + 24)

60 - 42

18

If 7 is the mean of 10,3,4,a,6,9 and 10.find the value of a
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

a = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

I think, what you need to do, is first understand how to find the mean of anything: It's quite simple, actually, just add up all the numbers, then divide that number by the number of numbers. So, let's put it in perspective:

10, 3, 4, a, 6, 9, 10

7 is the mean. 7 is the number of numbers.

If, to find the mean is: 10 + 3 + 4 + a + 6 + 9 + 10= 7a ÷ 7, then: 10 +3 + 4+ 6 + 9 +10= 42

42 plus what divided by 7 is the question now.

42 + a ÷  7= 7

So, 7 times 7, that's 49 minus 42 and you've got your answer: 7

I am having trouble with this relative minimum of this equation.<br>​
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

So the approximate relative minimum is (0.4,-58.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok this is a calculus approach.  You have to let me know if you want this done another way.

Here are some rules I'm going to use:

(f+g)'=f'+g'       (Sum rule)

(cf)'=c(f)'          (Constant multiple rule)

(x^n)'=nx^{n-1} (Power rule)

(c)'=0               (Constant rule)

(x)'=1                (Slope of y=x is 1)

y=4x^3+13x^2-12x-56

y'=(4x^3+13x^2-12x-56)'

y'=(4x^3)'+(13x^2)'-(12x)'-(56)'

y'=4(x^3)'+13(x^2)'-12(x)'-0

y'=4(3x^2)+13(2x^1)-12(1)

y'=12x^2+26x-12

Now we set y' equal to 0 and solve for the critical numbers.

12x^2+26x-12=0

Divide both sides by 2:

6x^2+13x-6=0

Compaer 6x^2+13x-6=0 to ax^2+bx+c=0 to determine the values for a=6,b=13,c=-6.

a=6

b=13

c=-6

We are going to use the quadratic formula to solve for our critical numbers, x.

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

x=\frac{-13 \pm \sqrt{13^2-4(6)(-6)}}{2(6)}

x=\frac{-13 \pm \sqrt{169+144}}{12}

x=\frac{-13 \pm \sqrt{313}}{12}

Let's separate the choices:

x=\frac{-13+\sqrt{313}}{12} \text{ or } \frac{-13-\sqrt{313}}{12}

Let's approximate both of these:

x=0.3909838 \text{ or } -2.5576505.

This is a cubic function with leading coefficient 4 and 4 is positive so we know the left and right behavior of the function. The left hand side goes to negative infinity while the right hand side goes to positive infinity. So the maximum is going to occur at the earlier x while the minimum will occur at the later x.

The relative maximum is at approximately -2.5576505.

So the relative minimum is at approximate 0.3909838.

We could also verify this with more calculus of course.

Let's find the second derivative.

f(x)=4x^3+13x^2-12x-56

f'(x)=12x^2+26x-12

f''(x)=24x+26

So if f''(a) is positive then we have a minimum at x=a.

If f''(a) is negative then we have a maximum at x=a.

Rounding to nearest tenths here:  x=-2.6 and x=.4

Let's see what f'' gives us at both of these x's.

24(-2.6)+25

-37.5  

So we have a maximum at x=-2.6.

24(.4)+25

9.6+25

34.6

So we have a minimum at x=.4.

Now let's find the corresponding y-value for our relative minimum point since that would complete your question.

We are going to use the equation that relates x and y.

I'm going to use 0.3909838 instead of .4 just so we can be closer to the correct y value.

y=4(0.3909838)^3+13(0.3909838)^2-12(0.3909838)-56

I'm shoving this into a calculator:

y=-58.4654411

So the approximate relative minimum is (0.4,-58.5).

If you graph y=4x^3+13x^2-12x-56 you should see the graph taking a dip at this point.
