Marianne has been collecting donations for her biscuit stall at the school summer fayre. There are some luxury gift tins of bisc

uits to be sold at £5 each, normal packets at £1 each, and mini-packs of 2 biscuits at 10p each. She tells Amy that she has recieved exactly 100 donations in total, with a collective value of £100, amd that her stock of £1 packets is very low compared with the other items. Amy wants to work out how many of each item Marianne has. Show how she can do it.

The problem conditions give rise to 2 equations in 3 unknowns. Let L, M, N represent the number of Luxury, Mini, and Normal packets sold.
.. L +M +N = 100 . . . . . . the number of packets sold
.. 5L +0.1M +N = 100 . . the value of donations
These result in the relationships
.. L = (9/40)M
.. N = 100 -(49/40)M

There are three integer solutions in which the numbers are non-negative.
.. (L, M, N) = (0, 0, 100) or (9, 40, 51) or (18, 80, 2)

If Marianne sold 100 normal packets, her stock would be "very low" compared to the others.

If Marianne sold 51 normal packets, her stock may be "very low" with respect to the others, depending on how many of each she started with. This might be the solution if we require non-zero numbers of all packets were sold.

I don't know what 10p is so before I answer I'd have to know what that is

Use green's theorem to compute the area inside the ellipse x252+y2172=1. use the fact that the area can be written as ∬ddxdy=12∫
Pavel [41]

The area of the ellipse E is given by

\displaystyle\iint_E\mathrm dA=\iint_E\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy

To use Green's theorem, which says

\displaystyle\int_{\partial E}L\,\mathrm dx+M\,\mathrm dy=\iint_E\left(\frac{\partial M}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial L}{\partial y}\right)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy

(\partial E denotes the boundary of E), we want to find M(x,y) and L(x,y) such that

\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial y}=1

and then we would simply compute the line integral. As the hint suggests, we can pick

\begin{cases}M(x,y)=\dfrac x2\\\\L(x,y)=-\dfrac y2\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial x}=\dfrac12\\\\\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial y}=-\dfrac12\end{cases}\implies\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial y}=1

The line integral is then

\displaystyle\frac12\int_{\partial E}-y\,\mathrm dx+x\,\mathrm dy

We parameterize the boundary by

\begin{cases}x(t)=5\cos t\\y(t)=17\sin t\end{cases}

with 0\le t\le2\pi. Then the integral is

\displaystyle\frac12\int_0^{2\pi}(-17\sin t(-5\sin t)+5\cos t(17\cos t))\,\mathrm dt

=\displaystyle\frac{85}2\int_0^{2\pi}\sin^2t+\cos^2t\,\mathrm dt=\frac{85}2\int_0^{2\pi}\mathrm dt=85\pi

###

Notice that x^{2/3}+y^{2/3}=4^{2/3} kind of resembles the equation for a circle with radius 4, x^2+y^2=4^2. We can change coordinates to what you might call "pseudo-polar":

\begin{cases}x(t)=4\cos^3t\\y(t)=4\sin^3t\end{cases}

which gives

x(t)^{2/3}+y(t)^{2/3}=(4\cos^3t)^{2/3}+(4\sin^3t)^{2/3}=4^{2/3}(\cos^2t+\sin^2t)=4^{2/3}

as needed. Then with 0\le t\le2\pi, we compute the area via Green's theorem using the same setup as before:

\displaystyle\iint_E\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=\frac12\int_0^{2\pi}(-4\sin^3t(12\cos^2t(-\sin t))+4\cos^3t(12\sin^2t\cos t))\,\mathrm dt

=\displaystyle24\int_0^{2\pi}(\sin^4t\cos^2t+\cos^4t\sin^2t)\,\mathrm dt

=\displaystyle24\int_0^{2\pi}\sin^2t\cos^2t\,\mathrm dt

=\displaystyle6\int_0^{2\pi}(1-\cos2t)(1+\cos2t)\,\mathrm dt

=\displaystyle6\int_0^{2\pi}(1-\cos^22t)\,\mathrm dt

=\displaystyle3\int_0^{2\pi}(1-\cos4t)\,\mathrm dt=6\pi

Keenan currently does a total of 888 pushups each day. He plans to increase the number of pushups he does each day by 222 pushup
marishachu [46]

Answer:

8 + 2x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The initial number of push-ups he does in each day = 8,

And, the number of push-ups, he increases per day = 2,

Let x be the number of days after he will reach his target of 30 push-ups,

Since, the number of push-ups she will increase in x days = 2x,

Thus, the number of push-ups she will do after x days = 8 + 2x,

⇒ 8 + 2x = 30, which is the required equation.
