<h3>Answer: 14.85 + c = 20</h3>

============================================================

Reason:

To compute the change, we subtract the amount William gives the cashier (the $20) and the price of the book ($14.85)

The change c is

c = 20-14.85

To rearrange this equation, we can add 14.85 to both sides to end up with 14.85 + c = 20

In other words, solving that equation in bold leads to c = 20-14.85 = 5.15 which is the change William is given.

----------------

Extra info (optional section)

If the cashier wanted to mentally figure out the change in his/her head, then notice the jump from 85 cents to 100 cents is 15 cents. That means we go from 14.85 to 15.00

Then the jump from $15 to $20 is an extra 5 dollars. Overall, the total change given back to William is 0.15+5 = 5.15 dollars.

Answer:

The pressure is changing at $\frac{dP}{dt}=3.68$

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we have two quantities, which are connected to each other and both changing with time. A related rate problem is a problem in which we know the rate of change of one of the quantities and want to find the rate of change of the other quantity.

We know that the volume is decreasing at the rate of $\frac{dV}{dt}=-4 \:{\frac{cm^3}{min}}$ and we want to find at what rate is the pressure changing.

The equation that model this situation is

$PV^{1.4}=k$

Differentiate both sides with respect to time t.

$\frac{d}{dt}(PV^{1.4})= \frac{d}{dt}k\\$

The Product rule tells us how to differentiate expressions that are the product of two other, more basic, expressions:

$\frac{d}{{dx}}\left( {f\left( x \right)g\left( x \right)} \right) = f\left( x \right)\frac{d}{{dx}}g\left( x \right) + \frac{d}{{dx}}f\left( x \right)g\left( x \right)$

Apply this rule to our expression we get

$V^{1.4}\cdot \frac{dP}{dt}+1.4\cdot P \cdot V^{0.4} \cdot \frac{dV}{dt}=0$

Solve for $\frac{dP}{dt}$

$V^{1.4}\cdot \frac{dP}{dt}=-1.4\cdot P \cdot V^{0.4} \cdot \frac{dV}{dt}\\\\\frac{dP}{dt}=\frac{-1.4\cdot P \cdot V^{0.4} \cdot \frac{dV}{dt}}{V^{1.4}} \\\\\frac{dP}{dt}=\frac{-1.4\cdot P \cdot \frac{dV}{dt}}{V}}$

when P = 23 kg/cm2, V = 35 cm3, and $\frac{dV}{dt}=-4 \:{\frac{cm^3}{min}}$ this becomes

$\frac{dP}{dt}=\frac{-1.4\cdot P \cdot \frac{dV}{dt}}{V}}\\\\\frac{dP}{dt}=\frac{-1.4\cdot 23 \cdot -4}{35}}\\\\\frac{dP}{dt}=3.68$

The pressure is changing at $\frac{dP}{dt}=3.68$ .

Answer:

0, 3, 8, 15, 24
y = x² + 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The pattern is</u>

Step 1 ⇒ 1*3 = 3
Step 2 ⇒ 2*4 = 8
Step 3 ⇒ 3*5 = 15

<u>Next step would be</u>

Step 4 ⇒ 4*6 = 24

<u>Step zero would be</u>

Step 0 ⇒ 0*2 = 0

<u>The equation</u>

y = x(x + 2) = x² + 2x

Number 8 please it will help a lot

pickupchik [31]

Well it all depends on the object you are using but in this case lets say remote control cars. You can have an example like "we drove the car around the building twice. the first time it was -8 than how fast it was supposed to go. the second time it was 9. In which round was the car faster?" I dont think i helped very much but i hope i did
