Answer: 140

Oleg, Sasha, and Dima divided 600 toys among themselves. Sasha possessed twice as many toys as Oleg, while Dima had 40 more toys than Oleg.

Let Oleg's total toys be represented by x.

Let Sasha’s toys be denoted as y.

Let Dima's toys be referred to as z.

Sasha has double the amount of toys compared to Oleg.

This translates to y = 2*x= 2x.

Dima has 40 toys greater than Oleg.

Which means z = x + 40.

The total toys shared among Oleg, Sasha, and Dima is 600.

x + y + z= 600.

Substituting y=2x and z=x+40 into the equation:

Substituting values for y and z in:

Subtracting 40 from both sides:

Dividing everything by 4:

This shows Oleg has 140 toys.

Assume that x and y are both differentiable functions of t and find the required values of dy/dt and dx/dt. x2 + y2 = 25 (a) Fin

Zina [9157]

Answer:

(a) $\frac{dy}{dt}=-3\frac{3}{4}$

(b) $\frac{dx}{dt}=3\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^{2} +y^{2}=25$

Calculate $\frac{d}{dt}$ for each term.

$\frac{d}{dt}(x^{2})+\frac{d}{dt}(y^{2})=\frac{d}{dt}(25)\\\\(\frac{d}{dx}(x^{2})*\frac{dx}{dt}) +(\frac{d}{dy}(y^{2})*\frac{dy}{dt})=\frac{d}{dt}(25)\\\\2x\frac{dx}{dt} +2y\frac{dy}{dt} = 0\\\\$

For Question a

$2y\frac{dy}{dt}=-2x\frac{dx}{dt}\\\\\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{-2x\frac{dx}{dt}}{2y} \\\\\frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{x}{y}\frac{dx}{dt}$

With x = 3, y = 4, and dx/dt = 5.

$\frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{3}{4}*5=-\frac{15}{4}\\ \\\frac{dy}{dt}=-3\frac{3}{4}$

For Question b

$2x\frac{dx}{dt}=-2y\frac{dy}{dt}\\\\\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{-2y\frac{dy}{dt}}{2x} \\\\\frac{dx}{dt}=-\frac{y}{x}\frac{dy}{dt}$

Given x = 4, y = 3, and dx/dt = -5.

$\frac{dx}{dt}=-\frac{3}{4}*-5=\frac{15}{4}\\ \\\frac{dx}{dt}=3\frac{3}{4}$

"The counting rule that is used for counting the number of experimental outcomes when n objects are selected from a set of N obj

PIT_PIT [9101]

Options

Counting rule for permutations
Counting rule for multiple-step experiments
Counting rule for combinations
Counting rule for independent events

Answer:

(C) Counting rule for combinations

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of outcomes when selecting n objects from N objects, we apply either permutation or combination.

If the order of selection matters, we utilize permutation.

On the other hand, if the order of selection does not matter, we opt for combination.

Thus, the counting method employed for determining experimental outcomes when selecting n objects from N objects without regard to selection order is referred to as the counting rule for combinations.

Two parabolas have the same focus, namely the point $(3,-28).$ Their directrices are the $x$-axis and the $y$-axis, respectively

babunello [8402]

Answer:

The slope for the common chord is: $-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

The focus is located at (a,b) = (3,-28)

For a parabola that has its directrix along the x-axis, the equation will be

$\left(x-a\right)^{2}+\left(y-b\right)^{2}=y^{2}$

$\left(x-a\right)^{2}+\left(y-b\right)^{2}-y^{2}=0$

For a parabola with a directrix situated on the y-axis, the equation will be

$\left(x-a\right)^{2}+\left(y-b\right)^{2}=x^{2}$

$\left(x-a\right)^{2}+\left(y-b\right)^{2}-x^{2}=0$

The common chord is the line that connects the points where the two parabolas intersect. To find the intersection, we can set the equations of the two parabolas equal!

In essence, the values of the two parabolas at the intersection point will coincide.

$\left(x-a\right)^{2}+\left(y-b\right)^{2}-y^{2}=\left(x-a\right)^{2}+\left(y-b\right)^{2}-x^{2}$

$\left(x-3\right)^{2}+\left(y+28\right)^{2}-y^{2}=\left(x-3\right)^{2}+\left(y+28\right)^{2}-x^{2}$

Now we can simplify the equation. (The terms (x-3) and (y+28) will cancel each other out when subtracting the corresponding terms)

$-y^{2}=-x^{2}$

$y=\sqrt{x^{2}}$

$y=\pm x$

Thus, we arrive at the equation for the common chord, but we must determine whether it is

$y=+ x$ or $y=-x$ .

This can be discerned by observing that the focus is positioned in the 4th quadrant of the xy-plane! The equation $y=-x$ generates a line present in both the 2nd and 4th quadrants.

Therefore, the slope of the common chord corresponds to the slope of the line $y=-x$

which is: $-1$
