A delivery truck is transporting boxes of two sizes: large and small. The large boxes weigh 55 pounds each, and the small boxes

weigh 30 pounds each. There are 110 boxes in all. If the truck is carrying a total of 4800 pounds in boxes, how many of each type of box is it carrying?

Answer:

Number of small boxes is 50 and number of big boxes is 60

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of small box represent x and the number of big box represent y

Hence total number of boxes = x + y = 110 ......................Eqn1

Total weight of boxes = 30x + 55y = 4800----------------Eqn2

Solving both equations simultaneously

From Eqn1, x = 110-y, substitute it into equation 2

Hence, 4800 = 30(110-y) + 55y

1500 = 25y

y = 60

X = 110 - 60 = 50

Number of small boxes is 50 and number of big boxes is 60

Give a rule of the piecewise-defined function.
nataly862011 [7]

The equation of the piecewise function is f(x) = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&x \le -1\\-1&x > 2\end{array}\right

<h3>The piecewise function</h3>

On the graph, we have:

  • y = 3 for all x values not more than -1
  • y = -1 for all values greater than 2

Hence, the piecewise function is:

f(x) = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&x \le -1\\-1&x > 2\end{array}\right

<h3>The domain of the function</h3>

This is the set of input values

In (a), we have:

x ≤ -1 and x > 2

Hence, the domain is (∞, 3] u (2, ∞)

<h3>The range of the function</h3>

This is the set of output values

In (a), we have:

f(x) = 3 and f(x) -1

Hence, the range is [3] u (-1)

Cual es el resultado de f(x)=−7x−1
Goryan [66]

The function of the linear equation shows that the slope(m) = -7, the x-intercepts is (-1/7,0), and the y-intercepts is (0,-1)

<h3>What is the function of f(x) of a linear equation?</h3>

The function of a linear equation takes the form y = ax + b. In this situation, the values of y can be determined when x = 0, and the values of x can be determined when y = 0

From the given information:

y = f(x) = -7x - 1

We can determine the:

  • Slope (m)
  • x-intercepts, and
  • y-intercepts.

y = -7x - 1

Slope (m) = -7

Set the values of y = 0 to determine the x-intercepts.

0 = -7x - 1

7x = - 1

x = -1/7

x-intercepts = (-1/7, 0)

Set the values of x = 0 to find the y-intercepts.

y = -7(0) - 1

y = - 1

y-intercepts = (-1, 0)
