Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x equal the first mile marker. Then x + 1 represents the second mile marker.

Then x + (x + 1) = 561, or

2x + 1 = 561, or

2x = 560, and so x = 280

Then the first mile marker reads 280 and the second mile marker reads 281.

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

1.2m

Step-by-step explanation:

You must first find out how much the daffodil grew over the 8 days:

0.05 x 8 = 0.4

Then you must add how much it grew to the original height:

0.4 + 0.8 = 1.2

A particle moves on the circle x2+y2=25 in the xy-plane for time t≥0. At the time when the particle is at the point (3,4), dx/dt

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

$\displaystyle y'=-\frac{9}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Differentiation</u>

We have a relationship between x and y as follows:

$x^2+y^2=25$

Both variables depend on time t for t≥0.

Differentiating with respect to time:

$(x^2)'+(y^2)'=(25)'$

Applying the derivative of a power function:

$2xx'+2yy'=0$

Recall the derivative of a constant is 0.

Dividing by 2:

$xx'+yy'=0$

Solving for y':

$\displaystyle y'=-\frac{xx'}{y}$

At some specific time, we have:

x=3, y=4, dx/dt = x' = 6. Substituting:

$\displaystyle y'=-\frac{3\cdot 6}{4}$

Operating:

$\displaystyle y'=-\frac{18}{4}$

Simplifying:

$\mathbf{\displaystyle y'=-\frac{9}{2}}$

Natalija [7]

The equation would be: C = 5.5T, where C is the Cost and T is the number of tubes.

If you divide all of the outputs by the inputs, you will get 5.5. That means it's a proportional relationship. Just multiply the number of tubes by 5.5 and you will have your cost.

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have 10%+5%=15% of clients under the condition "permanent", and we can find the probability that a client in that group requested a haircut:

P(haircut | permanent)=10%/15%=2/3
