The difference of two numbers is 6. Twice the smaller is 4 more than the larger. Find the larger
number

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference means subtract

Let the two numbers be x and y

x-y = 6

Let y be the smaller number

2y = x+4

Using substitution

x = 6+y

2y = 6 +y +4

2y = y+10

Subtract y from each side

2y-y = y+10-y

y = 10

Now we need to find x

x-y = 6

x-10 = 6

Add 10 fo each side

x-10+10 =6+10

x = 16

The graph of the function y = x^3 + ax^2 + b has a local minimum point at (4, -11). Find the coordinates of the local maximum. Answer: (0, 21)

Answers

Answer:

(0, 21)

Step-by-step explanation:

Stationary points occur when the gradient of a graph is zero.

Therefore, to find the x-coordinate(s) of the stationary points of a function, differentiate the function, set it to zero and solve for x.

Differentiate the given function:

[tex]\begin{aligned}y & = x^3+ax^2+b\\\implies \dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x}&=3 \cdot x^{3-1}+2 \cdot ax^{2-1}+0\\\implies \dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x}& = 3x^2+2ax\end{aligned}[/tex]

Set the differentiated function to zero:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x}& =0\\ \implies 3x^2+2ax & = 0 \\ \implies x(3x+2a)&=0\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore the stationary points occur when:

[tex]\implies x=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies 3x+2a=0 \implies x=-\dfrac{2}{3}a[/tex]

There is a stationary point at (4, -11), therefore substitute x = 4 into the expression for x and solve for a:

[tex]\begin{aligned}x & = 4\\\implies -\dfrac{2}{3}a & = 4\\a & = -\dfrac{3}{2}(4)\\a & = -6\end{aligned}[/tex]

Substitute the found value of a and the point (4, -11) into the function and solve for b:

[tex]\begin{aligned}y & = x^3 + ax^2 + b\\\implies -11 & = (4)^3+(-6)(4)^2+b\\ -11 & = 64-96+b\\b & = -11-64+96\\ b & = 21\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the function is:

[tex]\boxed{y=x^3-6x^2+21}[/tex]

The other stationary point is when x = 0.  Therefore, to find the coordinates of this point, substitute x = 0 into the function:

[tex]\begin{aligned}y & =x^3-6x^2+21\\x=0\implies y & =(0)^3-6(0)^2+21\\ y & =21 \end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the coordinates of the other stationary point are (0, 21).

To determine if a stationary point is minimum or maximum, differentiate the function again:

[tex]\begin{aligned}y & =x^3-6x^2+21\\\implies \dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x} & = 3x^2-12x\\\implies \dfrac{\text{d}^2y}{\text{d}x^2} & = 6x-12\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

Substitute the x-coordinate of the stationary point into the second derivative:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \dfrac{\text{d}^2y}{\text{d}x^2} & = 6x-12\\x=0 \implies \dfrac{\text{d}^2y}{\text{d}x^2} & = 6(0)-12= -12 \\\end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{As $\dfrac{\text{d}^2y}{\text{d}x^2} < 0$, stationary point $(0,21)$ is a maximum.}[/tex]

a bricklayers assistant starts building a wall laying 50 bricks per hour. Two hours later the master bricklayer joins the assistant and both lay bricks. The master bricklayer lays 80 bricks per hour. write an equation stating that the assistant and the master have laid the same number of bricks. how long has each one worked when they have laid the same number? ​

Answers

Answer:

80t = 50(t+2)master: 3 1/3 hoursassistant: 5 1/3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an assistant bricklayer laying 50 bricks an hour has worked 2 hours longer than a master bricklayer laying 80 bricks an hour, you want an equation stating they have laid the same number of bricks. You also want to know how long each has worked.

Rate and output

The output of each bricklayer is the product of the rate at which they lay bricks and the time for which they do it. If t is the time spent by the master bricklayer, their output will be 80t. The time spent by the assistant will be (t+2) hours, and their output will be 50(t+2).

Here is the equation that says their output is the same:

  80t = 50(t+2)

Time

Solving the equation for t, we have ...

  80t = 50t +100

  30t = 100 . . . . . . . . . subtract 50t

  t = 3 1/3 . . . . . . . divide by 30

The master bricklayer has worked 3 1/3 hours when they have laid the same number of bricks.

The assistant bricklayer has worked 5 1/3 hours at that time.

Additional comment

Each will have laid (80)(3 1/3) = 266 2/3 bricks.

Given m n, find the value of x.

Answers

Answer:

x = 21°

Step-by-step explanation:

180 - 159 = 21

Alternate angles (see image below) are equal, so x = 21

Using corresponding angles and adjacent angles concept, the value of x from the given parallel lines is 21°.

Given that, straight line m parallel to straight line n and t is the transversal.

The corresponding angles definition tells us that when two parallel lines are intersected by a third one, the angles that occupy the same relative position at each intersection are known to be corresponding angles to each other.

Here, y°=159°

Now, y°+x°=180° (Adjacent angles on straight line)

159°+x°=180°

x°=21°

Therefore, the value of x from the given parallel lines is 21°.

WHAT IS A COPLANAR/NON-COPLANAR POINT ?

A group of points that are in the same plane are said to be coplanar. A coplanar line connects any two or three points. It's possible that four or more points are coplanar.

The coplanar points A, B, C, and D are displayed on the left side of the above figure. Additionally, there are other sets of coplanar points in the box to the right. For instance, the left side of the box's left side is the plane that contains the coplanar points P, Q, X, and W. There are four coplanar points on each of the box's six faces, however they are not the only coplanar point groups. Points Q, X, S, and Z, for instance, are coplanar despite the fact that the plane containing them isn't depicted.

Non-coplanar points are a collection of points that are not all located on the same plane.

Points P, Q, X, and Y in the previous figure are not coplanar. Q, X, and Y are located on the box's top, and P, Q, and X are located on the box's left side, however no flat surface has all four points.

You want the values of three expenditures, given three relations between them.

(The first thing to realize is that the question isn't about averages at all. It is about values that are described as averages.)

Setup

Let f, j, c represent the (average) amounts spent on flowers, jewelry, and gift certificates, respectively. The three given relations are ...

  f + j + c = 53.42

  j = 4.40 + c

  f + c = 15.58 + j

Solution

Using the second equation to substitute for j in the third, we have ...

  f +c = 15.58 +(4.40 +c)

  f = 19.98 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

Using this and the second equation to substitute into the first, we have ...

  19.98 +(4.40 +c) +c = 53.42

  24.38 +2c = 53.42

  2c = 29.04

  c = 14.52

Then ...

  j = 4.40 +c = 4.40 +14.52 = 18.92

(x +3) is a factor of the function f(x)= x³ +5x²-3x³-10x²+2x-3.

Here, we are given 4 functions. If (x+3) is a factor of any of these equations, then x = -3 and y = 0 must be a solution. Let us check each function one by one-

1. f(x) = x²-12x³ +54x² - 108x+81

putting x = -3, we get-

f(-3) = -3²-12(-3)³ +54(-3)² - 108(-3)+81

= 9+324+486+324+81

= 1,224

Thus, (x +3) is not a factor.

2. f(x)=x²-3x³-x+3

putting x = -3, we get-

f(-3) = -3²-3(-3)³-(-3)+3

= 9+81+9+3

= 102

Thus, (x +3) is not a factor.

3. f(x)=x+2x¹-23x³-60x²

putting x = -3, we get-

f(-3) = -3+2(-3)¹-23(-3)³-60(-3)²

= -3-6+621+540

= 1,152

Thus, (x +3) is not a factor.

4. f(x)= x³ +5x²-3x³-10x²+2x-3

putting x = -3, we get-

f(-3) = -3³ +5(-3)²-3(-3)³-10(-3)²+2(-3)-3

[tex]\frac{9}{6}[/tex]

 to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

[tex]\frac{x}{2} +4 > \frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2. Since 2 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.

x+8>3

Subtract 8 from both sides.

x>3−8

Subtract 8 from 3 to get −5.

x>−5

Flashes of light burst through the darkness, and wind races past my window. The thrilling combination of sight and sound conjures up visions of dragons roaring proudly, breathing fire, and soaring across the midnight sky. Dragons first fascinated me when I was a little girl. They have followed me ever since. The magnificent creatures appeared in storybooks I read in the library, paintings I saw in museums, movies I watched in the theater, and the dreams I had in my sleep. By the time I was thirteen, one question consumed me. I wanted to know if dragons ever existed, so I set out on a quest for facts.2As I started my research, I discovered many skeptics. Scientists presented evidence to show why dragons could notand did notexist. They explained that it would be impossible for dragons to fly because they would be too big. They laughed at the idea of dragons breathing fire. They pointed out that no other animal has ever done this. They said that if dragons had lived, someone would have found remains somewhere in the world. No bones about it, there were plenty of logical explanations. It would have been easy for me to accept that the only place dragons ever existed was in the imaginations of those who believed.3I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I searched some more. There were many facts that hinted that dragons may not be fictional. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed.4With renewed hope that there was some truth to the legends, I looked for new research. I found that some experts disagreed with popular arguments against dragons. They suggested that a dragon could have four stomachs like a cow. If it created stomach gases like birds, it might create enough to lift itself off the ground. This would give it the ability to fly. If it forced out air when diving toward the earth, it might release gases which could ignite into flame. When the animal died, the stomachs would release strong acids that would dissolve its dead body over time. Biologists backed up these ideas with sketches and models based on known animals. Not everyone agreed with these ideas, but many of the things we accept about dinosaurs and other extinct species started the same way.5I doubt we will ever truly know whether dragons existed. There may always be two sides to the fiery debate. Some will say the stories come from active imaginations. Some will believe with all their hearts that the legendary creatures roamed our ancient world. I don't know for certain which side to believe, but the sound and fury of a night like this makes me smile. It rekindles my childhood dreams and keeps the exciting possibility alive.Which sentence from paragraph 4 makes an explicit statement without offering any implicit suggestions? your class nominates one student to attend student government association meetings on behalf of the class and report back on what was discusseda, direct democracyb, representative democracy Read the paragraph from the section "Shellfish."Lower pH values occur naturally on the West Coast during upwelling events, but recent observations indicate that CO2 originating from human activities is contributing to seasonal aragonite undersaturation. Scientists suspect that low pH may be a factor in the oysters' reproductive failure. More research is needed to disentangle potential acidification effects from other risk factors. Nonetheless, acidification is a potential factor in the current crisis to the multi-million-dollar oyster industry. The potential role of ocean acidification is encouraging new collaborations and accelerated research on ocean acidification and its biological impacts.Which of the following can be inferred from the selection above?AHuman activities are the primary cause of the aragonite undersaturation during upwelling events.BWhile some marine organisms are harmed by ocean acidification, others are helped by the lower pH levels in the ocean.CCollaborators are more motivated to study ocean acidification because of the economical impact it has on the oyster industry.DOcean acidification is not to blame for the oysters' reproductive failure because lower pH values are natural during upwelling events. can someone help me please Consider the data set5 2 2 4 9 2 3 1Find the average (mean):Find the median: Question 1 of 10Read this poem:How like a winter hath my absence beenFrom thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year!What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen!What old December's bareness every where!And yet this time removed was summer's time;The teeming autumn, big with rich increase,Bearing the wanton burden of the prime,Like widow'd wombs after their lords' decease:Yet this abundant issue seem'd to meBut hope of orphans and unfather'd fruit;For summer and his pleasures wait on thee,And, thou away, the very birds are mute;Or, if they sing, 'tis with so dull a cheerThat leaves look pale, dreading the winter's near.What type of poem is this?
