16 = 2/5
16 ÷ 2 = 2/5 ÷ 2/1
8 = 1/5
8 * 5 = 1/5 * 5
40 = 5/5
You started the party with 40 brownies

Let

x--------> total number of brownies made for the party

we know that

$\frac{2}{5}x=16$

Solve for x

$\frac{2}{5}x=16\\ \\2x=5*16\\ \\2x=80\\ \\x=40\ brownies$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$40\ brownies$

A law firm charges a client according to the function f(x)=4(x+2) , where x represents the number of hours spent on the client’s

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> the number of hours spent on the client’s case each week

f(x) ----> the total charge that week in hundreds of dollars

we have

$f(x)=4(x+2)$

distribute

$f(x)=4x+8$

This is the equation of the line in slope intercept form

where

The slope or unit rate is

$m=4$

The y-intercept or initial value is

$b=8$

To graph the line we need minimum two points

Find the x-intercept

For f(x)=0

$0=4x+8\\4x=-8\\x=-2$

The x-intercept is the point (-2,0)

we have

the points (-2,0) and (0,8)

To graph the line, plot the intercepts, connect them and join the points

The graph in the attached figure

Remember that the value of x and the value of f(x) cannot be a negative number

Two boats depart from a port located at (–10, 0) in a coordinate system measured in kilometers, and they travel in a positive x-

stiks02 [169]

To get the points at which the two boats meet we need to find the equations that model their movement:
Boat A:
vertex form of the equation is given by:
f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k
where:
(h,k) is the vertex, thus plugging our values we shall have:
f(x)=a(x-0)^2+5
f(x)=ax^2+5
when x=-10, y=0 thus
0=100a+5
a=-1/20
thus the equation is:
f(x)=-1/20x^2+5

Boat B
slope=(4-0)/(10+10)=4/20=1/5

thus the equation is:
1/5(x-10)=y-4
y=1/5x+2

thus the points where they met will be at:
1/5x+2=-1/20x^2+5
solving for x we get:
x=-10 or x=6
when x=-10, y=0
when x=6, y=3.2
Answer is (6,3.2)

se the function to show that fx(0, 0) and fy(0, 0) both exist, but that f is not differentiable at (0, 0). f(x, y) = 9x2y x4 + y

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

It is proved that $f_x, f_y$ exixts at (0,0) but not differentiable there.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is,

$f(x,y)=\frac{9x^2y}{x^4+y^2}; (x,y)\neq (0,0)$

To show exixtance of $f_x(0,0), f_y(0,0)$ we take,

$f_x(0,0)=\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{f(h+0,k+0)-f(0,0)}{h}=\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{\frac{9h^2k}{h^4+k^2}-0}{h}\\\therefore f_x(0,0)=\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{9hk}{h^4+k^2}=\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{9k}{h^3+\frac{k^2}{h}}=0$ exists.

And,

$f_y(0,0)=\lim_{k\to 0}\frac{f(h,k)-f(0,0)}{k}=\lim_{k\to 0}\frac{9h^2k}{k(h^4+k^2)}=\lim_{k\to 0}\frac{9h^2}{h^4+k^2}=\frac{9}{h^2}$ exists.

To show f(x,y) is not differentiable at the origin cheaking continuity at origin be such that,

$\lim_{(x,y)\to (0,0)}\frac{9x^2y}{x^4+y^2}=\lim_{x\to 0\\ y=mx^2}\frac{9x^2y}{x^4+y^2}=\frac{9x^2\times m x^2}{x^4+m^2x^4}=\frac{9m}{1+m^2}$ where m is a variable.

which depends on various values of m, therefore limit does not exists. So f(x,y) is not continuous at (0,0). Hence it is not differentiable at (0,0).
