Roy used 1/4 of his money on 3 pens and 6 notebooks. The cost of each pen is 3 times the cost of each notebook. He bought some more pens with 2/3 of his remaining money. How many pens did Roy buy altogether? ​

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:  13 pens

=========================================================

Explanation:

Roy spends 1/4 of his money on 3 pens and 6 notebooks. That means 3/4 of it is leftover.

2/3 of 3/4 = (2/3)*(3/4) = 1/2 of his money is spent on buying some unknown number of additional pens. We'll come back to this later.

---------------

In terms of cost,

1 pen = 3 notebooks

which is another way of saying 1 pen is the same price as 3 notebooks.

Multiply both sides by 2 to get

2 pens = 6 notebooks

Therefore, saying "3 pens + 6 notebooks" is the same as "3 pens + 2 pens = 5 pens" when just thinking about costs.

---------------

In short, Roy buying 3 pens and 6 notebooks is the same as him buying 5 pens. He spends 1/4 = 25% of his money on getting these 5 pens.

Multiply those two values by 2 to find that 50% = 1/2 of his money would allow him to get 10 pens.

--------------

Recall that at the end of the first section, we concluded that Roy spent 1/2 of his money on buying those unknown additional number of pens. Then the previous section mentioned that 1/2 of his money gets him 10 pens. Therefore, he must have bought 10 additional pens on top of the original 3 mentioned in the instructions.

Overall, he purchased 3+10 = 13 pens

Answer 2

Answer:

  13 pens

Step-by-step explanation:

If a pen costs 3 times the cost of a notebook, then the cost of 3 notebooks will equal the cost of a pen. The 6 notebooks that Roy bought are equivalent in cost to 2 pens, so 1/4 of Roy's money is the cost of 3+2 = 5 pens.

After the first purchase, Roy has (1 -1/4) = 3/4 of his money remaining. If he spends 2/3 of that on more pens, he will have spent ...

  (2/3)(3/4) = 2/4

of his money on more pens. We've already seen that 1/4 of his money buys 5 pens, so 2/4 will buy 10 more pens.

Roy bought 3 +10 = 13 pens altogether.

How to find the inverse of 3log3(x+3)+1. Its with a base of 3

Answers

Let [tex]f^{-1}(x)[/tex] be the inverse of

[tex]f(x) = 3 \log_3 (x + 3) + 1[/tex]

Then by definition of inverse function,

[tex]f\left( f^{-1}(x) \right) = 3 \log_3 \left(f^{-1}(x) + 3\right) + 1 = x[/tex]

Solve for the inverse :

[tex]3 \log_3 \left(f^{-1}(x) + 3\right) + 1 = x[/tex]

[tex]3 \log_3 \left(f^{-1}(x) + 3\right) = x - 1[/tex]

[tex]\log_3 \left(f^{-1}(x) + 3\right) = \dfrac{x - 1}3[/tex]

[tex]3^{\log_3 \left(f^{-1}(x) + 3\right)} = 3^{\frac{x-1}3}[/tex]

The curve y= 1/3 x⁴ - 4x² -3x has a gradient of -3 at three points.

Find the coordinates of these points.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{(0, 0), (\sqrt{6}, -12-3\sqrt{6}), (-\sqrt{6}, -12+3\sqrt{6})}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Take the derivative of the function with respect to x

[tex]\frac{d}{dx} (\frac{1}{3}x^4-4x^2-3x)\\=\frac{d}{dx} (\frac{1}{3}x^4)-\frac{d}{dx}(4x^2)-\frac{d}{dx}(3x)\\=\frac{4}{3}x^3-8x-3[/tex]

Now, you have the gradient of every point given the x value. We want the gradient to be -3, so,

Step 2: Set the derivative of the function equal to -3 and solve for x

[tex]\frac{4}{3}x^3-8x-3=-3\\\frac{4}{3}x^3-8x=0\\4x(\frac{1}{3}x^2-2)=0\\[/tex]

We can see that one solution is x=0.

The other 2 solutions are:

[tex]\frac{1}{3}x^2-2=0\\\frac{1}{3}x^2=2\\x^2=6\\x=\sqrt{6}, x=-\sqrt{6}[/tex]

Now that we found out the x value, we can plug it in back to the equation to find their respective y value:

x=0: y=0

x=sqrt(6): y=-12-3sqrt(6)

x=-sqrt(6): y=-12+3sqrt(6)

Hence we have our answer.

▪︎ First we have to solve the ones in the brackets ___ ( 14-12 ) which is e equal to 2

90-5 (9-5 (9- 2×3 ) ÷5 "the 3 comes inside the bracket coz we solved the previous one"

▪︎then we have to solve ( 9-2×3 ) which is equal to 3 _____ is 3 because if we go in the BODMAS way it will be

( 2×3 =6) , then... (9-6=3)

▪︎at the same time we can subtract 9-5 because we are done with the first bracket ( 9-5=4 )

90-5 (4×3)÷5

▪︎at the same time we can subtract 90-5 as well coz we are done with the first bracket ( 90-5=85)

▪︎then we can multiply (4×3) coz it's in the brackets (4×3=12)

85×12÷5

▪︎so then we hv to multiply 85 by 12 , then the answer is 1020

1020÷5

▪︎then divide (1020÷5=204)

☆90-5 (9-5 (9- (14-12) 3 ) ÷5

=90-5(9-5(9-2×3)÷5

=90-5(4×3)÷5

=85×12÷5

=1020÷5

Counterexamples are simply used to disprove conjectures.

(a) Elephants and Giraffes

This conjecture may or may not be true.

However, it can be disproved by the following counterexample

There are sometimes more elephants in a zoo than giraffes

The word "sometimes" disproves the original conjecture

(b) The oldest leatherback sea turtle

This conjecture is not true.

This is so because the oldest leatherback sea turtle in captivity is actually 400 years old.

So, the conjecture can be disproved by the following counterexample

The oldest leatherback sea turtle in captivity is 400 years old.

(c) American bison

This conjecture may or may not be true.

However, it can be disproved by the following counterexample

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find term 1. To find this term, we need to replace n with 1 - what is 4(1) - 5? Well, that's just 4 - 5, or -1. So, our first term is -1. Next, we'll find our second term. To do this, we'll replace n with 2. 4(2) = 8, and then 8 - 5 is equal to 3, so our second term is 3. Let's now find the third term by replacing n with the number 3. 4(3) - 5 is equal to 12 - 5, or 7. So, 7 is our third term. Finally, we'll find the fourth term. 4(4) is equal to 16, and 16 - 5 is equal to 11. So, the fourth and final term is equal to 11.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the general line equation format is

y = ax + b

a is the slope or gradient of the line. it is the ratio of "y coordinate change / x coordinate change".

b is the y-intercept, the y value when x = 0. we get this by putting one point into the equation and solve for b.

(i)

A (3, 5)

B (5, 9)

x changes by +2 (from 3 to 5).

y changes by +4 (from 5 to 9).

so, the slope (or gradient) is +4/+2 = 2

(ii)

the semi-finished equation is

y = 2x + b

let's use A to get b :

5 = 2×3 + b = 6 + b

b = -1

y = 2x - 1
