Answer:

there are 20 trumpet players

Step-by-step explanation:

trumpet players=3x-10

saxophone players= 3x

3x + 10 = 3x

3x - 3x=10

therefore x = 10 players

trumpet players = 3x -10

= 3(10)-10

=30-10

= 20 players

Carolina is mowing lawns for a summer job. For every mowing job, she charges an initial fee plus \$6$6dollar sign, 6 for each ho

Margarita [4]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

t: number of hours

F (t): total charge

We write the function that models the problem:

$F (t) = 6t + b$

Where,

b: represents an initial fee.

We must find the value of b.

For this, we use the following data:

Her total fee for a 4-hour job, for instance, is $ 32.

We have then:

$32 = 6 (4) + b$

From here, we clear the value of b:

$32 = 24 + b$

$32-24 = b$

$b = 8$

Then, the function that models the problem is:

$F (t) = 6t + 8$

Answer:

the function's formula is:

$F (t) = 6t + 8$

Demand for Tablet Computers The quantity demanded per month, x, of a certain make of tablet computer is related to the average u

soldier1979 [14.2K]

$x = f ( p ) = \frac { 100 } { 9 } \sqrt { 810,000 - p ^ { 2 } } } \\\\ \qquad { p ( t ) = \dfrac { 400 } { 1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt { t } } + 200 \quad ( 0 \leq t \leq 60 ) }$

Answer:

12.0 tablet computers/month

Step-by-step explanation:

The average price of the tablet 25 months from now will be:

$p ( 25) = \dfrac { 400 } { 1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt { 25 } } + 200 \\= \dfrac { 400 } { 1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \times 5 } + 200\\\\=\dfrac { 400 } { 1 + \dfrac { 5 } { 8 } } + 200\\p(25)=\dfrac { 5800 } {13}$

Next, we determine the rate at which the quantity demanded changes with respect to time.

Using Chain Rule (and a calculator)

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}= \dfrac{dx}{dp}\dfrac{dp}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dx}{dp}= \dfrac{d}{dp}\left[{ \dfrac { 100 } { 9 } \sqrt { 810,000 - p ^ { 2 } } }\right] =-\dfrac{100}{9}p(810,000-p^2)^{-1/2}$

$\dfrac{dp}{dt}=\dfrac{d}{dt}\left[\dfrac { 400 } { 1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt { t } } + 200 \right]=-25\left[1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt { t } \right]^{-2}t^{-1/2}$

Therefore:

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}= \left[-\dfrac{100}{9}p(810,000-p^2)^{-1/2}\right]\left[-25\left[1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt { t } \right]^{-2}t^{-1/2}\right]$

Recall that at t=25, $p(25)=\dfrac { 5800 } {13} \approx 446.15$

Therefore:

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}(25)= \left[-\dfrac{100}{9}\times 446.15(810,000-446.15^2)^{-1/2}\right]\left[-25\left[1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt {25} \right]^{-2}25^{-1/2}\right]\\=12.009$

The quantity demanded per month of the tablet computers will be changing at a rate of 12 tablet computers/month correct to 1 decimal place.

How many extraneous solutions does the equation below have? StartFraction 2 m Over 2 m + 3 EndFraction minus StartFraction 2 m O

xeze [42]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the fraction $\frac{2m}{2m+3} -\frac{2m}{2m-3}$

Step 1. Use LCM of the fraction, (2m+3)(2m-3), to simplify the fraction:

$\frac{(2m-3)(2m)-(2m+3)(2m)}{(2m+3)(2m-3)} =\frac{2m^2-6m-[2m^2+6m]}{(2m+3)(2m-3)} =\frac{2m^2-6m-2m^2-6m}{(2m+3)(2m-3)} =\frac{-12m}{(2m+3)(2m-3)}$

Step 2. Equate the resulting fraction to zero and solve for $m$ :

$\frac{-12m}{(2m+3)(2m-3)} =0$

$-12m=0[(2m+3)(2m-3)]$

$-12m=0$

$m=\frac{0}{-12}$

$m=0$

Step 3. Replace the value in the original equation and check if it holds:

$\frac{-12m}{(2m+3)(2m-3)} =0$

$-12m=0$

Since $m=0$ ,

$-12(0)=0$

$0=0$

Since the only solution of the equation holds, the equation bellow doesn't have any extraneous solution
