If we let p and t be the masses of the paper and textbook, respectively, the equations that would best represent the given in this item are:

     (1)       20p + 9t = 44.4

     (2)       (20 + 5)p + (9 + 1)t = 51

The values of p and t from the equation are 0.6 and 3.6, respectively. Thus, each paperback weighs 0.6 pounds and each textbook weighs 3.6 pounds.

Find the X intercepts of the equation f(x) = x^2 - 6x + 6
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

x-intercepts = (x ≈ -0.87), (x ≈ 6.87)

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = 0, in equation for x-intercepts

solve for x using the

quadratic formula

x = <u>−6 ± √ 36 + 24 </u>

               2x

= <u>−6 ± √60</u>

         −2x

 = <u>−6 ± 2 √ 15</u>

           −2           = 3 ± √15

For the equation given below, evaluate y′ at the point (−2,2)<br> xe^y−4y=2x−4−2e^2
jeka94
Implicit differentiation
chain rule is important here

I'll show the steps partially
e^y+xe^yy'-4y'=2
xe^yy'-4y'=2-e^y
y'(xe^y-4)=2-e^y
y'=\dfrac{2-e^y}{xe^y-4}
now evaluate for (-2,2)
x=-2 and y=2
y'=\dfrac{2-e^2}{-2e^2-4}
y'=\dfrac{2-e^2}{-2e^2-4}
y'=\dfrac{e^2-2}{2e^2+4}
that's it, simplest form
