ANSWER: k = 700

 

WORKINGS

 

Given, c(x) = (5.5x + k)/x where,

c(x) is the average cost of printing a book

x is the number of books printed

k is a constant

 

 

If, c(x) = 9

x = 200

Find k

 

c(x) = (5.5x + k)/x

9 = [5.5(200) + k]/200

 

Multiply both sides of the equation by 200

9 * 200 = [5.5(200) + k]/200 * 200

1800 = 5.5(200) + k

1800 = 1100 + k

 

Subtract 1100 from both sides of the equation

1800 – 1100 = 1100 – 1100 + k

700 = k

k = 700

 

Therefore, given that c(x) = (5.5x + k)/x, if on the day when 200 were printed the average cost was $9 per book, the constant, k = 700

To find K, we must use the fact that
 on the day 200 books were printed
 the average cost was $ 9 per book.
 Thus, substituting the values, we have:
 c (x) = (5.5x + k) / (x)
 9 = (5.5 (200) + k) / (200)
 Clearing K
 (200) * 9 = 5.5 (200) + k
 k = (200) * 9 - 5.5 * (200)
 k = 700
 answer
 the value of the constant k is 700

The vertex form of the quadratic function f(x) = x² + 2x + 3 is given as follows:

f(x) = (x + 1)² + 2

<h3>What is the equation of a parabola given it’s vertex?</h3>

The equation of a quadratic function, of vertex (h,k), is given by:

y = a(x - h)² + k

In which a is the leading coefficient.

In this problem, the function is:

f(x) = x² + 2x + 3

Completing the squares, we find the equation in vertex form, as follows:

f(x) = (x + 1)² + 2

As (x + 1)² = x² + 2x + 1, hence 2 has to be added to find the equivalent function.

Which of the following statements about the picture is true
Contact [7]

Answer:

  (c)  Point A is not on a bisector

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure shows you AR > AT. Since AX is the same for both triangles, angle AXR must be greater than angle AXT. This means AX is not the bisector of angle X.

Since AT is perpendicular to XT, it cannot be the perpendicular bisector of XT. That bisector will intersect XT at its midpoint, not its end.

The marked distances show you that A is different distances from T and R.

The only statement that makes any sense is ...

  Point A is not on a bisector.

Joel made egg sandwiches and tuna sandwiches in the ratio 2:3. He then made 15 more tuna sandwiches and the ratio changed to 1:3
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

40 sandwiches

Step-by-step explanation:

egg sandwiches : tuna sandwiches

 2                         : 3

Multiply by x  because we do not know how many sandwiches, just the ratio

2x                       : 3x


Add 15  tuna sandwiches

2x                       : 3x+15

Now the ratio is 1:3


egg sandwiches : tuna sandwiches

 1                         : 3

Multiply by y  because we do not know how many sandwiches, just the ratio

y                           : 3y


Set the number of egg sandwiches equal

2x =y

then set the number of tuna sandwiches equal

3x+15 = 3y

We know have a system of 2 equations and 2 unknowns

Substitute y =2x into the second equation

3x+15 = 3(2x)

Distribute

3x+15 = 6x

Subtract 3x from each side

3x-3x+15 = 6x-3x

15 =3x

Divide by 3

15/3 = 3x/3

5 =x


egg sandwiches : tuna sandwiches

 2                         : 3

Multiply by x  because we do not know how many sandwiches, just the ratio

2x                       : 3x

2*5                        3*5

10                             15


He originally made 10 egg sandwiches and 15 tuna sandwiches

Then he made 15 more tuna sandwiches

The total number of sandwiches he made is

10+15+15 = 40 sandwiches
