Answer:

By using the recycled plastic the company will save $1050.

Step-by-step explanation:

A company needs to make at least 75,000 bottles.

Now, 20-oz bottles can be made from 1 pound.

Then, 75000-oz bottles can be made from \frac{75000}{20} = 3750 pounds of plastic.

Now, the cost of new plastic is $0.83 per pound.

So, cost of new plastic to make 75000 bottles will be $(3750 × 0.83) = $3112.5.

Again,  the cost of recycled plastic is $0.55 per pound.

So, cost of recycled plastic to make 75000 bottles will be $(3750 × 0.55) = $2062.5.

Therefore, by using the recycled plastic the company will save $(3112.5 - 2062.5) = $1050. (Answer)

Is (x-1) a factor of 2x3 - 15x2 + 22x + 15
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If x - 1 is a factor of the cubic, then 1 should result in 0 when you put it in the cubic for x. Does it?

f(1) = 2(1)^3 - 15(1)^2 + 22(1) + 15

f(1) = 2 - 15 + 22 + 15

f(1)= 24.

No the result is not zero. So x - 1 is not a factor.

However there must be something that makes this cubic go to zero. The easiest way to find it is to graph it.

The numbers that do make this zero are -0.5, 3, 5

Which mean that the factors are (2x+1)(x-3)(x - 5)

HELP PLEASE! PRE-ALGEBRA!
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle A prime B prime C prime., because Triangle A prime B prime C prime. is obtained by dilating Triangle ABC. by a scale factor of 1 over 2. and then rotating it about the origin by 180 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Dilation by a scale factor of 1/2.

A point (x, y) is sent to (1/2 x, 1/2 y).

A(2, 2) ---> (1, 1)

B(2, 10) ---> (1, 5)

C(8, 12) ---> (4, 6)

Step 2: Rotate about the origin 180 degrees

A point (x, y) is sent to (-x, -y).

(1, 6) --->  A'(-1, -1)

(1, 5) --->  B'(-1, -5)

(4, 6) ---> C'(-4, -6)
