answer：First, I need to establish the relationships between the populations of moose, beavers, and humans based on the given ratios.For every moose, there are two beavers, which means the number of beavers is twice the number of moose.For every beaver, there are 19 humans, indicating that the number of humans is 19 times the number of beavers.Given that there are 38 million humans in Canada, I can use the second ratio to find the number of beavers.Once I have the number of beavers, I can use the first ratio to determine the number of moose.By following these steps, I can calculate the moose population in Canada.

answer：Okay, so I have this problem here with four options, A through D, each presenting a derivative operation. I need to figure out which one is correct. Let me take it step by step.Starting with option A: (3^{x})'=3^{x}ln x. Hmm, I remember that the derivative of an exponential function like a^{x} is a^{x}ln a. So in this case, a is 3, which means the derivative should be 3^{x}ln 3. But the option says 3^{x}ln x. That doesn't seem right because it's using x instead of the base 3. So I think option A is incorrect.Moving on to option B: left(frac{sin x}{x}right)'=frac{xcos x-sin x}{x^{2}}. Okay, this looks like a quotient rule problem. The quotient rule says that the derivative of frac{u}{v} is frac{u'v - uv'}{v^{2}}. Let's apply that here. Let u = sin x and v = x. Then u' = cos x and v' = 1. Plugging into the quotient rule: frac{cos x cdot x - sin x cdot 1}{x^{2}} = frac{xcos x - sin x}{x^{2}}. That matches what's given in option B, so B seems correct. Wait, but I remember seeing somewhere that there was a typo in the problem statement. Maybe I should double-check that later, but for now, B looks correct.Option C: left(log_{2}xright)'=frac{1}{xln 2}. I recall that the derivative of log_{a}x is frac{1}{xln a}. So if a is 2, then the derivative should indeed be frac{1}{xln 2}. That matches option C, so C seems correct too.Option D: left(x-frac{1}{x}right)'=1+frac{1}{x^{2}}. Let's differentiate term by term. The derivative of x is 1. The derivative of -frac{1}{x} is a bit tricky. I know that frac{1}{x} is x^{-1}, so its derivative is -1 cdot x^{-2}, which is -frac{1}{x^{2}}. But since there's a negative sign in front, it becomes +frac{1}{x^{2}}. So the derivative should be 1 + frac{1}{x^{2}}. Wait, that's exactly what option D says. So D seems correct as well.Wait a minute, I thought only one option was supposed to be correct. Did I make a mistake somewhere? Let me go back.Looking at option A again: (3^{x})'=3^{x}ln x. As I thought before, it should be 3^{x}ln 3, not 3^{x}ln x. So A is definitely incorrect.Option B: I applied the quotient rule correctly, and it matched. But I remember hearing about a typo in the problem statement. Maybe the original problem had a different function? Or perhaps the derivative was presented incorrectly? I'm not sure, but based on what's given, B seems correct.Option C: The derivative of log_{2}x is indeed frac{1}{xln 2}. So C is correct.Option D: The derivative of x - frac{1}{x} is 1 + frac{1}{x^{2}}. That's correct as well.Wait, so does that mean B, C, and D are all correct? But the question asks which operation is correct, implying only one. Maybe I misapplied the quotient rule in B. Let me check again.For option B: frac{sin x}{x}. Using the quotient rule: u = sin x, u' = cos x; v = x, v' = 1. So the derivative is frac{cos x cdot x - sin x cdot 1}{x^{2}} = frac{xcos x - sin x}{x^{2}}. That's what's given, so it's correct.Hmm, perhaps the typo in the problem statement affects option B? Maybe the original function was different, but as it stands, B is correct.So, if B, C, and D are all correct, but the question expects only one answer, maybe I need to reconsider. Alternatively, perhaps the typo in B makes it incorrect, but I can't see how. Maybe I should look up the standard derivatives again to confirm.Double-checking:- Derivative of a^{x} is a^{x}ln a.- Derivative of frac{u}{v} is frac{u'v - uv'}{v^{2}}.- Derivative of log_{a}x is frac{1}{xln a}.- Derivative of x is 1; derivative of x^{-1} is -x^{-2}.All these seem correct. Therefore, unless there's a typo or misinterpretation, B, C, and D are correct. But since the question asks for which operation is correct, and typically such questions expect one answer, maybe I need to see if there's an error in my reasoning.Wait, in option D: left(x - frac{1}{x}right)' = 1 + frac{1}{x^{2}}. Let me differentiate it again. The derivative of x is 1. The derivative of -frac{1}{x} is +frac{1}{x^{2}}. So yes, it's 1 + frac{1}{x^{2}}. That's correct.So, unless the problem expects multiple correct answers, but the way it's phrased suggests only one. Maybe the typo in B affects its correctness? If the problem had a different function, like frac{sin x}{x} versus something else, but as given, B is correct.Alternatively, perhaps the problem expects only one correct answer, and I need to choose the most correct or the one that's definitely correct without any ambiguity. In that case, C is straightforward and definitely correct, while B and D might have nuances.Wait, in option D, the derivative is 1 + frac{1}{x^{2}}, but sometimes people get confused with the sign. Let me check again: derivative of -frac{1}{x} is +frac{1}{x^{2}}, so yes, it's correct.I'm a bit confused because multiple options seem correct, but maybe the intended answer was C. Alternatively, perhaps the problem expects only one correct answer, and I need to choose the best one.Given that, I think C is definitely correct, while B and D might have been intended to be correct as well, but due to potential typos or misinterpretations, C is the safest choice.

answer：First, I recognize that the income and expenditure are in the ratio 5:4. This means I can represent the income as 5x and the expenditure as 4x, where x is a common multiplier.Next, I know that savings are calculated by subtracting expenditure from income. According to the problem, the savings amount to Rs. 3600. So, I set up the equation:5x - 4x = 3600Simplifying this, I find:x = 3600Now, to determine the income, I multiply the value of x by 5:Income = 5x = 5 * 3600 = Rs. 18000Therefore, the person's income is Rs. 18000.

answer：Okay, so I have this problem here about a function f(x) that's even and periodic. Let me try to understand what it's asking. The function is defined for all real numbers, which means it's not just limited to some specific interval. It's also even, so I remember that even functions satisfy f(x) = f(-x). That symmetry might come in handy later.Next, it says that f(x + 4) = f(x). Hmm, that looks like a periodic function. So, the period here is 4, right? Because adding 4 to x doesn't change the value of the function. That means the function repeats every 4 units along the x-axis. So, if I can figure out the function's behavior over an interval of length 4, I can extend it to all real numbers using periodicity.Now, the problem gives me a specific piece of the function: when x is between 1 and 2, f(x) = x - 2. Okay, so on the interval [1, 2], the function is a straight line with a slope of 1, starting at (1, -1) and going up to (2, 0). That's helpful because it gives me a concrete part of the function to work with.The question is asking for f(6.5). That's a value outside the interval [1, 2], so I need to use the properties of the function—its periodicity and evenness—to find the value.First, let's tackle the periodicity. Since the function repeats every 4 units, I can subtract multiples of 4 from 6.5 until I get a number within the interval where I know the function's behavior. Let me calculate 6.5 minus 4, which is 2.5. Hmm, 2.5 is still greater than 2, so I need to subtract another 4. Wait, no, that would take me to negative numbers. Maybe I should think differently.Wait, actually, since the period is 4, f(6.5) should be equal to f(6.5 - 4) because subtracting the period brings me to an equivalent point in the previous cycle. So, 6.5 - 4 is 2.5. So, f(6.5) = f(2.5). But 2.5 is still not in the interval [1, 2], it's in [2, 3]. Hmm, so I need to figure out what the function is doing in [2, 3].But wait, the function is even, so f(x) = f(-x). Maybe I can use that to relate f(2.5) to another point. Let me think. If I can express 2.5 in terms of a negative x, maybe I can use the evenness property.But before that, maybe I should figure out what the function is in the interval [2, 3]. Since the function is periodic with period 4, and I know it's even, perhaps I can extend the function from [1, 2] to the rest of the interval using these properties.Let me try to sketch the function mentally. From x = 1 to x = 2, f(x) = x - 2. So, at x = 1, f(1) = -1, and at x = 2, f(2) = 0. Now, since the function is even, f(x) = f(-x). So, if I reflect this interval [1, 2] over the y-axis, I get the interval [-2, -1], and the function there would be f(x) = -x - 2. Wait, is that right?Wait, no. If f(x) = x - 2 for x in [1, 2], then for x in [-2, -1], f(x) = f(-x) = (-x) - 2. So, yes, f(x) = -x - 2 for x in [-2, -1]. Okay, that makes sense.Now, since the function is periodic with period 4, I can shift this interval [1, 2] by 4 to get another interval [5, 6], and the function there would be f(x) = x - 2 as well. Similarly, shifting the interval [-2, -1] by 4, I get [2, 3], and the function there would be f(x) = -x - 2 + 4? Wait, no, that's not right. Let me think carefully.Actually, periodicity means that f(x + 4) = f(x). So, if I have f(x) defined on [1, 2], then on [5, 6], it's the same as [1, 2], so f(x) = x - 2. Similarly, on [-3, -2], it would be the same as [1, 2], but shifted left by 4. Wait, no, that's not correct because shifting left by 4 would actually be subtracting 4, not adding.Wait, maybe I'm overcomplicating this. Let me try a different approach. Since f is periodic with period 4, f(6.5) is equal to f(6.5 - 4) = f(2.5). So, f(6.5) = f(2.5). Now, 2.5 is in the interval [2, 3], which I don't have a direct definition for. But since the function is even, maybe I can relate f(2.5) to f(-2.5).So, f(2.5) = f(-2.5). Now, -2.5 is in the interval [-3, -2], which is equivalent to [1, 2] shifted left by 4. Wait, no, because periodicity is shifting by 4, so f(-2.5) = f(-2.5 + 4) = f(1.5). Ah, that's better. So, f(-2.5) = f(1.5). Therefore, f(2.5) = f(1.5).Now, 1.5 is in the interval [1, 2], where we know f(x) = x - 2. So, f(1.5) = 1.5 - 2 = -0.5. Therefore, f(2.5) = -0.5, and so f(6.5) = -0.5.Wait, let me double-check that. Starting from f(6.5), subtract 4 to get f(2.5). Then, since 2.5 is in [2, 3], which is not defined, but using evenness, f(2.5) = f(-2.5). Then, using periodicity again, f(-2.5) = f(-2.5 + 4) = f(1.5). Since 1.5 is in [1, 2], f(1.5) = 1.5 - 2 = -0.5. So, yes, f(6.5) = -0.5.Alternatively, I could have thought about the function's graph. Since it's even, it's symmetric about the y-axis. So, the part from x = 1 to x = 2 is a line going from (1, -1) to (2, 0). Reflecting that over the y-axis gives me the part from x = -2 to x = -1, which is a line from (-2, 0) to (-1, -1). Then, since the function is periodic with period 4, I can shift this graph 4 units to the right to cover x = 2 to x = 3, which would be the same as x = -2 to x = -1 shifted right by 4. So, the function from x = 2 to x = 3 would be a line from (2, 0) to (3, -1). Therefore, at x = 2.5, which is halfway between 2 and 3, the function would be halfway between 0 and -1, which is -0.5. So, that confirms it again.Another way to think about it is to recognize that f(x) is even and periodic, so it's a combination of both properties. So, f(6.5) can be reduced using periodicity to f(2.5), then using evenness to f(-2.5), and then periodicity again to f(1.5), which is in the known interval.I think I've covered this from multiple angles, and each time I end up with f(6.5) = -0.5. So, I'm pretty confident that's the correct answer.

answer：First, I need to determine the cost price of Item A. The problem states that the profit from selling Item A for 120 is the same as the loss from selling it for 80. This implies that the cost price is exactly halfway between 120 and 80.Next, I'll calculate the cost price of Item B. The selling price is 150, and there's a 25% profit. Using the profit formula, I can set up an equation to solve for the cost price.Then, I'll find the cost price of Item C. The selling price is 200, and there's a 20% loss. Using the loss formula, I can set up another equation to determine the cost price.Finally, I'll add up the cost prices of all three items to get the combined cost price.

answer：First, I need to determine the flat fee for the first night and the fixed amount for each subsequent night. Let's denote the flat fee as ( f ) and the fixed fee for each additional night as ( n ).From the information given, Alex stayed for 4 nights and was charged 185. This means the cost for the first night plus three additional nights equals 185:[f + 3n = 185]Similarly, Jamie stayed for 8 nights and was charged 350. This means the cost for the first night plus seven additional nights equals 350:[f + 7n = 350]To find the value of ( n ), I'll subtract the first equation from the second:[(f + 7n) - (f + 3n) = 350 - 185][4n = 165][n = frac{165}{4} = 41.25]Now that I have the value of ( n ), I can substitute it back into the first equation to find ( f ):[f + 3(41.25) = 185][f + 123.75 = 185][f = 185 - 123.75 = 61.25]Therefore, the flat fee for the first night is 61.25.
