How many times smaller is 5×10-7 than 8.5×10-4

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Approximately 1.86 times smaller

Step-by-step explanation:

5×10-7 = (5×10=50) = 50-7 = 43

8.5×10-4 = (8.5×10=84) = 84- 4 = 80

80/43 = approximately 1.86

43×1.86 = approximately 80

80/1.86 = approximately 43

Answer 2
About 5 times per size

A bakery is making whole-wheat bread and apple bran muffins. For each batch of break they make $35 profit. For each batch of muffins, they make $10 profit. The break takes 4 hours to prepare and 1 hour to back. The muffins take 0.5 hours to prepare and 0.5 hours to bake. The maximum preparation time available is 16 hours. The maximum bake time available is 10 hours. Let x = # of the batches of bread and y = # of batches of muffins. Outline the feasible region that can be used to find the number of batches of bread and muffins that should be made to maximize profits? Use the color RED to indicate the feasible region!

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of wholewheat bread batches be x

let the number of muffin batches be y

prep condition: 4x + (1/2)y ≤ 16 or 8x + y ≤ 32

baking condition : 1x + (1/2)y ≤ 10 or 2x + y ≤ 20

graph each of those in the first quadrant shading in the region below each one.

Final shading is the region satisfying both conditions.

profit = 35x + 10y

allow this line to "slide" away from the origin as far as you can.

It should be clear that the farthest we can go is the intersection of

8x+y = 32 and

2x + y = 20 or the x and y intercepts of our two boundary lines.

subtract them as they are:

6x = 12

x = 2

then in our head , y = 16

max profit = 2(35) + 10(16) = 230

Just to make sure, I will test the intercepts of our intersecting region, namely (4,0) and (0,20)

for (4,0) profit = 4(35)+1 = 140

for (0,32) profit = 0 + 10(20) = 200

so max profit is 230 when x=2 and y=16

(notice all the prep time and baking time is utelized)

1 mcg = 0.1 mg

1000L = 1 mL

Answers

1L=0.001 mL is correct answer

Answer: 1L = 1000 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

1.     1 milligram (mg) is equal to 0.001 gram (gm), so 10mg = 0.01. The first choice is incorrect

2.    1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliter (mL) so the second choice is correct

3.    1 microgram (mcg) is equal to 0.001 milligram (mg), so the third                                                                 choice is incorrect.

4.    1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliter (mL), so the fourth choice is evidently                                        incorrect. (1000 L would be 1,000,000 mL)

differentiate xlnx from first principles

Answers

Answer:

formula for the derivative of x*lnx is equal to 1 + lnx.

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to find derivative of f(x) = x*lnx,

so we take the limiting value as x approaches x + h.

To simplify this, we set x = x + h,

and we want to take the limiting value as h approaches 0.

Now according to first derivative formula we have;

f'(x) = [tex]\lim_{h \to \zer0}[/tex]f(x+h) - f(x)]/[(x+h) - x]

[tex]\lim_{h \to \zer0}[/tex][ ln (1 + x) ] / x = 1

ln a - ln b = ln(a/b)

Using the above formulas, we have

d(xlnx)/dx = [tex]\lim_{h \to \zer0}[/tex][(x+h) ln(x+h) - xlnx]/[(x+h) - x]

= [tex]\lim_{h \to \zer0}[/tex][x ln(x+h) + h ln(x+h) - xlnx]/h

= [tex]\lim_{h \to \zer0}[/tex][x ln(x+h) - x lnx + h ln(x+h)]/h

= [tex]\lim_{h \to \zer0}\\[/tex][x(ln(x+h) - lnx) + h ln(x+h)]/h

=[tex]\lim_{h \to \zer0}[/tex][x ln [(x+h)/x] + h ln(x+h)]/h

=[tex]\lim_{h \to \zer0}[/tex][x ln (1+h/x) + h ln(x+h)]/h

=[tex]\lim_{h \to \zer0}[/tex] [x ln (1+h/x)]/h + limh→0 ln(x+h)

= [tex]\lim_{h \to \zer0}[/tex][ ln (1 + h/x) ] / (h/x) + limh→0 ln(x+h)

= 1 + lnx --- [Using limit formula [tex]\lim_{h \to \zer0}[/tex] [ ln (1 + x) ] / x = 1]

Hence, we have proved that the formula for the derivative of x*lnx is equal to 1 + lnx.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In this section, we will determine the differentiate of xlnx using the first principle of derivatives, that is, the definition of limits. To derive the derivative of f(x) = xlnx, we take the limiting value as x approaches x + h. To simplify this, we set x = x + h, and we want to take the limiting value as h approaches 0. We will use the following formulas to prove the result:

f'(x) = limh→0[f(x+h) - f(x)]/[(x+h) - x]

limx→0 [ ln (1 + x) ] / x = 1

ln a - ln b = ln(a/b)

Using the above formulas, we have

d(xlnx)/dx = limh→0[(x+h) ln(x+h) - xlnx]/[(x+h) - x]

= limh→0[x ln(x+h) + h ln(x+h) - xlnx]/h

= limh→0[x ln(x+h) - x lnx + h ln(x+h)]/h

Midpoint formula : -

Midpoint calculation

The midpoint formula is a method used to locate the midway point between two coordinates on a graph. The midpoint of a line segment with endpoints A and B is the point that is precisely between A and B, that is, it is placed at the same distance from A and B, as shown in the illustration below.

The midpoint formula can be utilized when two points on a graph in the coordinate plane are known. The midpoint M of two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is:

Notice that the midpoint formula includes calculating an average of the x- and y-values of two coordinates. The midway formula may be simpler to recall as a result. The sum of two number is equal to multiplying a number by 2. In a coordinate system, a line segment's midpoint is defined as the point midway between two points in the vertical and horizontal directions. This value is equivalent to the line segment's average x- and y-coordinates. It should be rather simple to recall the midway formula if you keep this in mind.

Vertical asymptotes at x=−1 and x=4 , x -intercepts at (−5,0) and (2,0) , horizontal asymptote at y=−4
solve for f(x)

Answers

Answer is  f(x)= [tex]\frac{x^{2}+ 2x - 8 }{x - 5}[/tex]

vertical asymptote, the denominator must be contained (x−5)

and for zeros the numerator must be contained (x−2)

then we get,

So far f(x)= f(x)= [tex]\frac{ (x - 2)}{x - 5}[/tex]

For slant asymptote, quotient of numerator divided by denominator must be (x+4)

Therefore:

f(x)= [tex]\frac{(x + 4) (x - 2)}{x - 5}[/tex]

after solving this equation we get,

So f(x)= [tex]\frac{x^{2}+ 2x - 8 }{x - 5}[/tex]

​A vertical asymptote is a vertical line that guides the graph of the function but is not part of it. It can never be crossed by the graph because it occurs at the x-value that is not in the domain of the function. A function may have more than one vertical asymptote.

In Mathematics, a slant asymptote, also known as an oblique asymptote, occurs when the degree of the numerator polynomial is greater than the degree of the denominator polynomial. The slant asymptote gives the linear function which is neither parallel to x-axis nor parallel to the y-axis.

Therefore the minimum value of length of rectangle is 151 feet

The maximum perimeter is 1200ft

1200=2(150+length of rectangle)

Maximum value of the length of the rectangle=450ft
