Answer:
S = 13 - x
T = (18 + x) / 2
Step-by-step explanation:
S = 18
T= 18
Sue gives away x, so subtract it from 18. But Tony gets x, so add it to 18 in his expression.
S = 18 - x
T= 18 + x
Sue eats 5 so subtract 5 from her expression. Tony eats half, so divide his expression by 2.
S = 18 - x - 5
T = 18 + x / 2
Simplify 18-5.
S = 13 - x
T = (18 + x) / 2

Differentiate both sides, treating
as a function of
. Let's take it one term at a time.

The derivative of 0 is, of course, 0. So we have, upon differentiating everything,

Isolate the derivative, and solve for it:


(See comment below; all the 6s should be 2s)
We can simplify this a bit by multiplying the numerator and denominator by
to get rid of that fraction in the denominator.

Answer:
1) x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the Pythagorean thm for these questions. Where a and b are the legs (So order doesn't matter), and where c is the hypotenuse
1)
a² + b² = c²
9² + 12² = x²
81 + 144 = x²
x² = 225
You square root each side so you can get rid of the exponent on x.

x = 15
43.8 = 100%
43.8/100 = 0.438 = 1%
0.438 x 45 = 19.71 = 45%
