Answer:

Mary bought 9 Golden Delicious apples

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved by setting up a system of equations. Based on the information given, the equations would be set up as follows.

$.75d+1.25g=21.00\\d+g=22$

I prefer to solve using substitution, but elimination can be used as well

$.75d+1.25g=21.00\\g=22-d$

We can now plug in this g value to the first equation

$.75d + 1.25 (22-d)=21.00\\.75d + 27.5-1.25d=21\\27.5-0.5d=21\\-.5d=-6.5\\d=13$

This means mary bought 13 delicious apples. She bought 22 apples in total, so the total number minus the amount of delicious apples will give us the amount of golden delicious apples.

22 - 13 = g

9 = g

How can you find the value of x? in 3x= 2 1/4

Answer:Tap for more steps... By the Sum Rule, the derivative of x 4 + 3 x 2 x 4 + 3 x 2 with respect to x x is d d x [ x 4] + d d x [ 3 x 2] d d x [ x 4] + d d x [ 3 x 2]. Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that d d x [ x n] d d x [ x n] is n x n − 1 n x n - 1 where n = 4 n = 4.

Solve the initial value problem y'=2 cos 2x/(3+2y),y(0)=−1 and determine where the solution attains its maximum value.

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

$y=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{4sin2x+1}}{2}$

$x={\pi}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$y'=\frac{2cos2x}{3+2y}$

y(0)=-1

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2cos2x}{3+2y}$

$(3+2y)dy=2cos2x dx$

Taking integration on both sides then we get

$\int (3+2y)dy=2\int cos 2xdx$

$3y+y^2=sin2x+C$

Using formula

$\int x^n=\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}+C$

$\int cosx dx=sinx$

Substitute x=0 and y=-1

$-3+1=sin0+C$

$-2=C$

$sin0=0$

Substitute the value of C

$y^2+3y=sin2x-2$

$y^2+3y-sin 2x+2=0$

$y=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{(3)^2-4(1)(-sin2x+2)}}{2}$

By using quadratic formula

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

$y=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{9+4sin2x-8}}{2}=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{4sin2x+1}}{2}$

Hence, the solution $y=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{4sin2x+1}}{2}$

When the solution is maximum then y'=0

$\frac{2cos2x}{3+2y}=0$

$2cos2x=0$

$cos2x=0$

$cos2x=cos\frac{\pi}{2}$

$cos\frac{\pi}{2}=0$

$2x=\frac{\pi}{2}$

$x=\frac{\pi}{4}$

3 + 12 = 15 So, for every 15 beads, 3 are red. 15 * 3 = 45 So, 9 beads out of 45 are red.
