From 1st principle find the derivative of log (ax+b)

Step-by-step explanation:

The parent function here is y = log x, where 10 is the base.

The derivative of y = log x is dy/dx = (ln x) / ln 10.

The derivative of y = log (ax+b) is found in that manner, but additional steps are necessary:  differentiate the argument ax + b:

The derivative with respect to 10 of log (ax + b) is:

dy/dx = [ 1 / (ax + b) ] / [ ln 10 ] *a, where a is the derivative of (ax + b).

Alternatively, we could express the answer as

dy/dx = [ a / (ax + b) ] / [ ln 10 ]

delaney would like to make a 5lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

she has several pounds of peanuts and several pounds of a mixture that is 20% peanuts and 80% almonds.

let 'p' represent the number of pounds of peanuts needed to make the new mixture, and  

let 'm' represent the number of pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture.

:

p + m = 5

therefore

m = (5-p)

write an equation based on the percent of peanuts

1p + .2m = .6(5)

replace m with (5-p)

p + .2(5-p) = .6(5)

p + 1 - .2p = 3

p - .2p = 3 - 1

.8p = 2

p = 2/.8

p = 2.5 lbs of peanuts required

then

5 - 2.5 = 2.5 lbs of the peanut/almond mixture required

:

a) what is the system that models this situation?

p + m = 5

1p + .2m = .6(5)
