The percentage of the boys at the book fair is 6%

<h3>What is a percentage?</h3>

Percentages are used in mathematics as a decimal ratio expressed in a fraction of 100. It is represented with a symbol known as %.

At a book fair, the ratio of adults to children are:

7 : 3

The total number of people at the book fair = 7 + 3 = 10

The percentage of adults are:

$\mathbf{=\dfrac{7}{10}\times 100\%}$

= 70% are adults

The percentage of children are:

$\mathbf{=\dfrac{3}{10}\times 100\%}$

= 30% are children

However, if from the children, 4 are girls and 1 is a boy.

The total number of children at the fair = 4 + 1 = 5

The percentage of girls are:

$\mathbf{=\dfrac{4}{5} \times 30\%}$

= 24%

The percentage of boys at the book fair is:

$\mathbf{=\dfrac{1}{5} \times 30\%}$

= 6%

Suppose that x and y are both differentiable functions of t and are related by the given equation. Use implicit differentiation

stepan [7]

Answer:

Let z = f(x, y) where f(x, y) =0 then the implicit function is

$\frac{dy}{dx} =$ $\frac{-δ f/ δ x }{δ f/δ y }$

Example:- $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-(y+2x)}{(x+2y)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Partial differentiation</u>:-

Let Z = f(x ,y) be a function of two variables x and y. Then

$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(x+dx,y)-f(x,y)}{dx}$ Exists , is said to be partial derivative or Partial differentiational co-efficient of Z or f(x, y)with respective to x.

It is denoted by δ z / δ x or δ f / δ x

Let Z = f(x ,y) be a function of two variables x and y. Then

$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(x,y+dy)-f(x,y)}{dy}$ Exists , is said to be partial derivative or Partial differentiational co-efficient of Z or f(x, y)with respective to y
