A) 390 pretzels
B) 350 pretzels
C) 700 pretzels
D) 1.4 pretzels

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B) 350 pretzels

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

Given

Function P(x) = - 0.004x² + 2.8x - 100

To find

The value of x, which makes the P(x) maximum

Solution

This is a quadratic function and it can get maximum at vertex.

The x-coordinate of the vertex is determined by x = - b/(2a).

We have:

a = - 0.004 and b = 2.8

Find the value of x:

x = - 2.8 / (2* (-0.004)) = 350

Correct choice is B.

The estimate number of cars that can be produced (C in thousands) at a manufacturing plant over the course of time (x in years) can be modeled by the polynomial function

Answers

The average rate of change between year 1 and year 10 is given as follows:

4.3 thousand cars a year.

How to obtain the average rate of change of a function?

The average rate of change of a function is obtained by the change in the output divided by the change in the input. Hence, over an interval [a,b], the rate is given as follows:

[tex]r = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}[/tex]

In this problem, the function is presented as follows:

C(x) = 0.15x³ - 3.28x² + 23.75x - 2.1.

The interval is:

[1,10], hence a = 1, b = 10.

At x = 1, the numeric value is found replacing each instance of x by 1, hence:

C(1) = 0.15(1)³ - 3.28(1)² + 23.75(1) - 2.1 = 18.52 thousand cars.

At x = 10, the numeric value is found replacing each instance of x by 10, hence:

C(10) = 0.15(10)³ - 3.28(10)² + 23.75(10) - 2.1 = 57.4 thousand cars.

Then the average rate of change is obtained as follows:

r = (57.4 - 18.52)/(10 - 1) = 4.3 thousand cars a year.

Please help 50 points

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

look at where the dotted line is : it is vertical at x = -3.

that is automatically is equation : x = -3.

now, look at where the shaded side of that line is - to the left or to the right of the line ?

it is to the left of the line. and that message all values smaller than x = -3. but not equal indicated by the dotted line (that means the line itself is not included).

so, this is described by x < -3.

therefore, the first answer option is out.

now, look at the solid line.

what is the y-intercept (the y- value when x = 0) ?

when x = 0, the y-value is -1.

and everything to the left and below of the line is included (incl. the line itself, hence the solid line), so, the line inequality is then (just given by the available choices)

y <= -x - 1

and the 3rd answer option is therefore correct.

Answer:

[tex]\begin{cases}x < -3\\y \leq -x-1\end{cases}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

When graphing inequalities:

< or > : dashed line.≤ or ≥ : solid line.< or ≤ : shade under the line.> or ≥ : shade above the line.

From inspection of the given graph, there is a dashed line at x = -3 with shading under the line (to the left).

Therefore, the inequality that represents this is:  

[tex]x < -3[/tex]

The solid line has a negative slope.  For each decrease of 1 unit in the y-direction, the x-values increase by 1 unit.  Therefore, the slope of this line is -1.  

From inspection of the given graph, the y-intercept of the solid line is -1.

Therefore, the equation of this line is  y = -x - 1.  

As the shading is under the line, the inequality that represents this is:

[tex]y \leq -x - 1[/tex].

Therefore, the system of linear inequalities that represents the graph is:

[tex]\begin{cases}x < -3\\y \leq -x-1\end{cases}[/tex]

Enter the correct answers in the boxes.

Expression:

gallon(s)

Answers

Joseph removes 5/8 gallon of white paint from a can.The amount of paint in the can  = - 2.8 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the starting amount of paint in the can, in gallons.

"Removes 5/8 gallon" can be written -(5/8)gal

"Adds 3/8 gallon" becomes +(3/8)gal

The result is :  X - (5/8)gal + (3/8)gal = Remaining Paint (gallons)

Consolidating:  Remaining (gallons) = X - (2/8)gal

If we want the overall increase/decrease, subtract the initial volume:

Initial - Remaining = Change in amount of paint in can

Change =  (X-(2/8)gal) - X = - (2/8) gallons

[tex](8x^{6} )^{\frac{2}{3} }[/tex] someone explain?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so use the properties of powers, recall that powers like [tex]x^{2^{2} }[/tex] is the same as [tex]x^{2} *x^{2}[/tex] which can also be written as  [tex]x^{2*2}[/tex] = [tex]x^{4}[/tex].

I want to make this clearer.

[tex]x^{3^{3} }[/tex] = [tex]x^{3}[/tex]  * [tex]x^{3}[/tex] * [tex]x^{3}[/tex]  = [tex]x^{3*3*3}[/tex] =[tex]x^{27}[/tex]

I'm not sure if that's making it clearer or not.

so for your question  of  [tex](8x^{6}) ^{2/3}[/tex]  we can rewrite it to look like the above multiplication of powers

[tex]8x^{6*(2/3)}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{6}{1}[/tex] * [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{12}{3}[/tex]  = 4

[tex]8x^{4}[/tex]

The first step in simplifying is to apply that outer exponent of [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] to each factor inside the parentheses.

      [tex]\left(8\cdot x^6\right)^{2/3} = \left(8\right)^{2/3} \cdot \left(x^6\right)^{2/3}[/tex]

Now using the concept that [tex](a)^{m/n} = \sqrt[m]{a^n}[/tex] for positive real numbers a and integers m and n, we can evaluate the first part:

       [tex](8)^{2/3} = \sqrt[3]{8^2} = \sqrt[3]{64} =4[/tex]

For the second part, we use the power-to-a-power rule, that says [tex](a^m)^n = a^{m\cdot n}[/tex]:

    [tex]\left(x^6\right)^{2/3} = x^{6\cdot \frac{2}{3}} = x^4[/tex]

Putting that all together, we have

    [tex]\left(8 x^6\right)^{2/3} = \left(8\right)^{2/3} \cdot \left(x^6\right)^{2/3} = 4x^4[/tex]

The rate of change of the volume of the sphere is 100,530.96 mm^3/s

How to calculate rate of change of the volume of the sphere?

Given,

rate of change radius = [tex]\frac{dr}{dt}[/tex] = 5 mm/s

Formula to calculate volume of the sphere is

[tex]V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}[/tex]

Differentiating the volume formula and we get new formula to calculate rate of change of the volume.

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{4}{3}\pi 3r^{2}\frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

Simplify to

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = 4\pi r^{2}\frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

x + 25/-8 = -6 Solve for x.
Simplify your answer as much as possible.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

if there is nothing missing, we have

x + 25/-8 = -6

in order to compare or add or subtract fractions, we need to bring them all to the same denominator (bottom part).

remember, integer numbers are fractions too. like here

-6 = -6/1

25/-8 = -25/8

so, how can we bring -6/1 to .../8 ?

by multiplying 1 by 8.

but we cannot multiply only the denominator by 8. otherwise we would suddenly have

-6/8

and is -6/8 = -6/1 ? no, certainly not.

to keep the original value of the fraction we have to do the same multiplication also with the numerator (top part).

so, we actually do

-6/1 × 8/8 = -48/8

with this little trick we have now .../8 to operate with, and our transformed fraction has still the same value

-6/1 = -48/8 indeed.

so, we have

x + -25/8 = -48/8

x - 25/8 = -48/8

x = -48/8 + 25/8 = -23/8

A survey shows that 2/3 of all homeowners have a pet. Of those, 3/4 have either a dog or a cat. Of the homeowners, what fraction has either a dog or a cat ?

Answers

Answer:

Of the homeowners, half have either a dog or a cat.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 2/3 of all homeowners have a pet, and 3/4 of those have dogs or cats, we simply need to multiply 2/3 and 3/4 to see what fraction of all homeowners have a dog or a cat.

2/3 x 3/4 = 6/12

6/12 = 1/2

We can double check this. If there are 60 homeowners, and 2/3 have a pet, that would mean that 40 of those homeowners have a pet.

If 3/4 of the 40 homeowners have either a dog or a cat, that would equate to 30 homeowners having either a dog or a cat.

Since 30 is half of 60, this would mean that 1/2 of the 60 homeowners have a dog or cat!

Given the measure of angle 6 is 131.

We can see that from the figure, angle 6 and angle 2 are corresponding angles and angle 6 and angle 4 are alternative angles.

So, angle 2 = angle 6 = 131

angle 4 = angle 6 = 131

Since angle 1 and angle 4; angle 2 and angle 3 are Linear pairs. So.

angle 3 = 180 - angle 2  = 180-131 = 49

angle 1 = 180 - angle 4 = 180-131 = 49

Since, angle 1 and angle 5; angle 4 and angle 8; angle 3 and angle 7 are corresponding angles to each other.

angle 5 = angle 1 = 49

angle 7 = angle 3 = 49

angle 8 = angle 4 = 131

Hence the values of m<1, m<2, m<3, m<4, m<5, m<7, m<8 are given by 49, 131, 49, 131, 49, 49, 131 respectively.

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we should find the equations of the two lines. The red line is just horizontal, and represents y = 4 while the blue line intersects the y-axis at -4 and every time it goes right one, it goes up 4, so it has a slope of four(also it looks kinda steep, so it cannot have a slope of 1/4). This means the equation is y = 4x - 4.

Notice the red line is dashed, that means the inequality is either less than or greater than. Also, the shaded part is below the vertical line, enclosing all the values of y less than 4, so the first inequality would be y < 4.

The blue line is solid, so it is either greater than or equal to or less than or equal to. To find out which one, we check to se where the point (0, 0) fits in:

y ? 4x - 4

0 ? 0 - 4

0 ? -4

Only a greater than or equal to sign would fit in: 0 ≥ -4

This means the answer is:

y < 4

y ≥ 4x - 4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1)
