Translate into an equation

Answer to Problem 9IP
The equation is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
There are 48 soccer teams in the Springtown Association. This is three less than three times the number of teams in the Lyon Association
Concept Used:
Rules of Addition/ Subtraction:
- Two numbers with similar sign always get added and the resulting number will carry the similar sign.
- Two numbers with opposite signs always get subtracted and the resulting number will carry the sign of larger number.
Rules of Multiplication/ Division:
- The product/quotient of two similar sign numbers is always positive.
- The product/quotient of two numbers with opposite signs is always negative.
In order to translate the sentence into an equation
Let x be the number team of Lyon Association
Since the product of x and 3, less 3, than total soccer teams as shown below,
Thus, the equation is

- An engineer is designing a pipeline which is supposed to connect two points P and S. The engineer decides to do it in three sections. The first section runs from point P to point Q, and costs $48 per mile to lay, the second section runs from point Q to point R and costs $54 per mile, the third runs from point R to point S and costs $44 per mile. Looking at the diagram below, you see that if you know the lengths marked x and y, then you know the positions of Q and R. Find the values of x and y which minimize the cost of the pipeline. Please show your answers to 4 decimal places. 2 Miles x = 1 Mile R 10 miles miles y = milesarrow_forwardAn open-top rectangular box is being constructed to hold a volume of 150 in³. The base of the box is made from a material costing 7 cents/in². The front of the box must be decorated, and will cost 11 cents/in². The remainder of the sides will cost 3 cents/in². Find the dimensions that will minimize the cost of constructing this box. Please show your answers to at least 4 decimal places. Front width: Depth: in. in. Height: in.arrow_forwardFind and classify the critical points of z = (x² – 8x) (y² – 6y). Local maximums: Local minimums: Saddle points: - For each classification, enter a list of ordered pairs (x, y) where the max/min/saddle occurs. Enter DNE if there are no points for a classification.arrow_forward
- Suppose that f(x, y, z) = (x − 2)² + (y – 2)² + (z − 2)² with 0 < x, y, z and x+y+z≤ 10. 1. The critical point of f(x, y, z) is at (a, b, c). Then a = b = C = 2. Absolute minimum of f(x, y, z) is and the absolute maximum isarrow_forwardThe spread of an infectious disease is often modeled using the following autonomous differential equation: dI - - BI(N − I) − MI, dt where I is the number of infected people, N is the total size of the population being modeled, ẞ is a constant determining the rate of transmission, and μ is the rate at which people recover from infection. Close a) (5 points) Suppose ẞ = 0.01, N = 1000, and µ = 2. Find all equilibria. b) (5 points) For the equilbria in part a), determine whether each is stable or unstable. c) (3 points) Suppose ƒ(I) = d. Draw a phase plot of f against I. (You can use Wolfram Alpha or Desmos to plot the function, or draw the dt function by hand.) Identify the equilibria as stable or unstable in the graph. d) (2 points) Explain the biological meaning of these equilibria being stable or unstable.arrow_forwardFind the indefinite integral.
