Answer:

a: £60

b: P = £36, Q = £24

Step-by-step explanation:

first find the total fraction contributed by P and Q:

3/5 + 2/3 of the remaining

3/5 = 9/15, the remainder of the fund is 6/15

so to add 2/3 of the remainder, we add 2/3 of 6 which is 4

9/15 + 4/15 = 13/15 so, in total P and Q contribute 13/15

this means that R contributes the rest which is 2/15 and we know he contributes £8, therefore 2/15 = £8 and 1/15 = £4

to find the total of the fund (15/15), we do 4 x 15 to get £60.

to find P's contribution (9/15), we do 4 x 9 to get £36.

to find Q's contribution (6/15), we do 4 x 6 to get £24.

hope this helps :)

Answer:

$\frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{-8}{x^2} +2$

$\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} =\frac{16}{x^3}$

Stationary Points: See below.

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

Equality Properties

<u>Calculus</u>

Derivative Notation dy/dx

Derivative of a Constant equals 0.

Stationary Points are where the derivative is equal to 0.

1st Derivative Test - Tells us if the function f(x) has relative max or mins. Critical Numbers occur when f'(x) = 0 or f'(x) = undef
2nd Derivative Test - Tells us the function f(x)'s concavity behavior. Possible Points of Inflection/Points of Inflection occur when f"(x) = 0 or f"(x) = undef

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Quotient Rule: $\frac{d}{dx} [\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} ]=\frac{g(x)f'(x)-g'(x)f(x)}{g^2(x)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

$f(x)=\frac{8}{x} +2x$

<u>Step 2: Find 1st Derivative (dy/dx)</u>

Quotient Rule [Basic Power]: $f'(x)=\frac{0(x)-1(8)}{x^2} +2x$
Simplify: $f'(x)=\frac{-8}{x^2} +2x$
Basic Power Rule: $f'(x)=\frac{-8}{x^2} +1 \cdot 2x^{1-1}$
Simplify: $f'(x)=\frac{-8}{x^2} +2$

<u>Step 3: 1st Derivative Test</u>

Set 1st Derivative equal to 0: $0=\frac{-8}{x^2} +2$
Subtract 2 on both sides: $-2=\frac{-8}{x^2}$
Multiply x² on both sides: $-2x^2=-8$
Divide -2 on both sides: $x^2=4$
Square root both sides: $x= \pm 2$

Our Critical Points (stationary points for rel max/min) are -2 and 2.

<u>Step 4: Find 2nd Derivative (d²y/dx²)</u>

Define: $f'(x)=\frac{-8}{x^2} +2$
Quotient Rule [Basic Power]: $f''(x)=\frac{0(x^2)-2x(-8)}{(x^2)^2} +2$
Simplify: $f''(x)=\frac{16}{x^3} +2$
Basic Power Rule: $f''(x)=\frac{16}{x^3}$

<u>Step 5: 2nd Derivative Test</u>

Set 2nd Derivative equal to 0: $0=\frac{16}{x^3}$
Solve for <em>x</em>: $x = 0$

Our Possible Point of Inflection (stationary points for concavity) is 0.

<u>Step 6: Find coordinates</u>

<em>Plug in the C.N and P.P.I into f(x) to find coordinate points.</em>

x = -2

Substitute: $f(-2)=\frac{8}{-2} +2(-2)$
Divide/Multiply: $f(-2)=-4-4$
Subtract: $f(-2)=-8$

x = 2

Substitute: $f(2)=\frac{8}{2} +2(2)$
Divide/Multiply: $f(2)=4 +4$
Add: $f(2)=8$

x = 0

Substitute: $f(0)=\frac{8}{0} +2(0)$
Evaluate: $f(0)=\text{unde} \text{fined}$

<u>Step 7: Identify Behavior</u>

<em>See Attachment.</em>

Point (-2, -8) is a relative max because f'(x) changes signs from + to -.

Point (2, 8) is a relative min because f'(x) changes signs from - to +.

When x = 0, there is a concavity change because f"(x) changes signs from - to +.

Product in standard form (explain)<br> (3+6i)(4+9i)

ololo11 [35]

First you have to factor (aka, multiply) your binomial (which is what you have written) usually it helps to organize your thinking, and help tell what you need to multiply, to use the binomial chicken(or crab claw, what ever you want to call it) which basically you draw two arches, one arch connecting the 3 and 4, and then the other the 3 and 9i. on the opposite side (depending on wheater you connected then from the top or bottom) you connect (with an arch) the 6i and the four, and then the 6i to the 9i.

so now you multiply each piece you've connected:
3 x 4= 12
3 x 9i= 27i
6i x 4= 24i
6i x 9i= 54i^2

after you've done this you can move on to putting it into standard form, which just means you put things in descending order, depending on how many exponents the x (or in this case i) has.
your largest exponent is 54i^2, so that's first in out equation, next 27i, and 24i (you can combine these because they are like term) which equals 51i, after that you just add the 12 on the end, so the final equation looks like this:

54i^2+51i+12
