Assume that the cost to produce an item is a linear function and all items produced are sold. A lumber yard has fixed costs of $

2230.80 per day and variable costs of $0.03 per board-foot produced (a board-foot is a measure of volume). The lumber then is sold for
$1.13 per board-foot. How many board-feet must be sold for the lumber yard to make a profit? Write the inequality, solve and interpret the results.

Answer:

1.13x > 2230.80 + 0.03x

x > 2028

(more than 2028 or atleast 2029)

Step-by-step explanation:

Revenue = 1.13x

Cost = 2230.8 + 0.03x

Profit: Revenue > Cost

1.13x > 2230.8 + 0.03x

1.13x - 0.03x > 2230.80

1.1x > 2230.8

x > 2028

More than 2028 board feet must be produced in order to make profit.

At 2028, there's no profit no loss

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The costs are

2230.80 + .03 b  where b is the board foot

the income was 1.13b

Profit is income - costs

Profit = 1.13b - (2230.80 + .03 b)

Distribute

         = 1.13b - .03b - 2230.08

         = 1.10b - 2230.08

Profit is when  the money is greater than 0

(breaking even is 0)

0 <1.10b - 2230.08

Add 2230.08 to each side

2230.08 < 1.10b - 2230.08 + 2230.08

2230.08 < 1.10b

Divide by 1.10

2230.08/1.10 < 1.10b/1.10

2027.345455 <b

They must sell at least 2027.345 board feet of lumber per day to make a profit

6. Find the function with x-intercepts (-3,0) and (5,0), which also goes through the point (1,8)
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

f(x) = (-1/2)(x^2 + 8x - 15)

Step-by-step explanation:

This function has two roots:  -3 and 5.  Most likely it is a quadratic (all of which have two roots).

Then f(x) = a(x + 3)(x - 5)

The graph goes through (1. 8):  Therefore, y = 8 when x = 1:

f(1) = a(1 + 3)(1 - 5) = 8, or

        a(4)(-4) = 8, or

            -16a = 8, which leads to a = -1/2.

Thus the quadratic in question is f(x) = (-1/2)(x + 3)(x - 5), or

                                                        f(x) = (-1/2)(x^2 + 8x - 15)

Kate scored 85,78,72, and 81 on 4 math tests. What score does she need on the fifth test to have at least an 80 average?
Elan Coil [88]

I am not good in this kind of question so maybe 84?

suppose the full marks for each of them is 100 so for 5 of them it will be 500 cause if you if you multiply 100 full marks by 5 it will be 500

so the answer to this question is maybe 84?

cause if you add all of them with 84 the outcome will be 400 and if you divide the 400 by 5 it will be 80
