Maryland had $(62xsquared + x - 4) on mondays she spent $(11x squared - 33) on a pair of gloves how much money did she have left

Anton [14]

Answer:

$( 51x^2 + x + 29).

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount she had left = original amount - amount spent on the gloves

= 62x^2 + x - 4 - (11x^2 - 33) (note we place the amount spent on gloves in parentheses because we have to subtract the whole amount)

Now we distribute the negative over the parentheses:

= 62x^2 + x - 4 - 11x^2 + 33 ( note - 33 becomes -33*-1 = +33)

Now simplifying like terms:

= 51x^2 + x + 29 (answer).

How do you find the missing height of a triangle?

g100num [7]

Answer:

Use the Pythagorean theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

The pythagorean theorem is $a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$ where a is a height, b is a height, and c is the hypotenuse, which is the longest side of a triangle. For example, if the triangle has two side with lengths of three and four we would put them into the equation to get:

$3^{2} +4^{2} =c^{2}$

Simplify the equation to get:

$9+16=c^2$

Add 16 and 9 to get 25 and take the square root of both sides:

$\sqrt{25} =c$

The sqrt of 25 is 5. Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse, or c, is 5.

A concession stand at an athletic event is trying to determine how much to sell cola and iced tea for in order to maximize reven

Cerrena [4.2K]

Solution :

Demand for cola : 100 – 34x + 5y

Demand for cola : 50 + 3x – 16y

Therefore, total revenue :

x(100 – 34x + 5y) + y(50 + 3x – 16y)

R(x,y) = $100x-34x^2+5xy+50y+3xy-16y^2$

$R(x,y) = 100x-34x^2+8xy+50y-16y^2$

In order to maximize the revenue, set

$R_x=0, \ \ \ R_y=0$

$R_x=\frac{dR }{dx} = 100-68x+8y$

$R_x=0$

$68x-8y=100$ .............(i)

$R_y=\frac{dR }{dx} = 50-32x+8y$

$R_y=0$

$8x-32y=-50$ .............(ii)

Solving (i) and (ii),

4 x (i) ⇒ 272x - 32y = 400

(ii) ⇒ (-<u>) 8x - 32y = -50 </u>

264x = 450

∴ $x=\frac{450}{264}=\frac{75}{44}$

$y=\frac{175}{88}$

So, x ≈ $ 1.70 and y = $ 1.99

R(1.70, 1.99) = $ 134.94

Thus, 1.70 dollars per cola

1.99 dollars per iced ted to maximize the revenue.

Maximum revenue = $ 134.94
