Answer:

Since we want a positive number, x = 24.  y = 192/x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the two positive numbers.

-  Their product is 192: x*y = 192

-  the sum of the first plus 3 times the second is a minimum:  x + 3y

From the first equation, y = 192/x.  Substitute that into the second equation:

x + 3y = x + 3(192/x) = x + 576/x

Now take the first derivative, set it to zero, and solve for x:

d(x + 576/x)/dx = 1 - 576/x2

0 = 1 - 576/x2

0 = x2 - 576                         [Multiplied both sides by x2]

576 = x2

√576 = √x2

±24 = x

Since we want a positive number, x = 24.  y = 192/x = 8

As a check, the factors of 192 are 192*1, 96*2, 48*4, 24*8, 16*12

192 + 3*1 = 195

96 + 3*2 = 102

48 + 3*4 = 60

24 + 3*8 = 48

16 + 3*12 = 52

24 + 3*8 is indeed the minimum

Sabiendo que cada persona unos 4 500 000 glóbulos rojos por milímetro cúbico y que su cantidad de sangre es de 5 litros A) Que l
love history [14]

Answer:

Part A) distance covered by the aligned red cells is: 180000 Km

Part B) 8000000 bacteria (8 million bacteria)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A)

Let's first find the total number of red cells that the person has in the 5 liters, knowing that there are 4,500,000 of them in a cubic millimetre:

Since 1 liter contains 1,000,000 cubic millimetres, then, in 5 liters there must be 5 times that number of cubic millimetres. That is a total of 5,000,000 cubic millimetres.

Since in each cubic millimetre there are 4,500,000 red cells, then the number of red cells in the 5 liters must be the product of these two quantities:

4,500,000 x 5,000,000 = 22,500,000,000,000 red blood cells.

Now, to find the distance they will cover aligned one after the other, knowing that their average diameter is 0.008 mm is:

22,500,000,000,000 x 0.008 mm= 180000000000 mm

22.5\,\,10^{12} * 8\,\,10^{-3}=1.8\,\,10^{11} mm

In order to convert this distance into Km as requested, we use the fact that 1 mm = 0.000001 Km, or using exponents in base ten:

1 mm = 10^{-6}\,\,Km

Then, the distance covered in kilometers is:

1.8\,\,10^{11}\,*\,10^{-6} \,\,Km=1.8\,\,10^{5}\,\,Km=180000\,\,Km

Part B)

The vaccine contains a total of  10^8  bacteria per cm^3

In order to find how many bacteria we have in 80 mm^3 of the vaccine, we first need to convert 80 mm^3  into cm^3:  

80\,\, mm^3 = 0.08 \,\,cm^3

Then, if in one cm^3 there is 10^8  bacteria, in 0.08\,\,cm^3 there would be: 0.08\,*\,10^8 bacteria. That is: 8\,\,10^6 bacteria = 8000000 bacteria (eight million bacteria)

Solve the following inequality: 6x - 9 ≥ 11x - 17.
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

x ≤8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - 9 ≥ 11x - 17

Subtract 6x from each side

6x -6x-9 ≥ 11x - 17-6x

-9 ≥ 5x- 17

Add 17 to each side

-9+17≥ 5x - 17+17

8≥ 5x

Divide each side by 5

8/5≥ 5x /5

8/5≥ x
