Step-by-step explanation:

The given objective function is C = 60x + 85y

To check that which ordered pair is minimizing the objective function-we will substitute all the ordered pair one by one in the given function and we will calculate the value of C. The ordered pair which will give the minimum value will be the answer.

For (0, 160)

C=60\times 0+85\times 160=13600

For (55, 70)

C=60\times 55+85\times 70=9250

For (80, 50)

C=60\times 80+85\times 50=9050

For (80, 50)

C=60\times 170+85\times 0=10200

Hence the ordered pair which minimizes the objective function is (80, 50)

Tinh can row at a rate of 6 mph in still water. It takes her 2 hours to row upstream from a dock to a park. She then rows back t
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Option A is correct, i.e. 3 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tinh can row at a rate of 6 mph in still water.

Suppose the speed of the river current is X mph.

Then Upstream speed = (6-X) mph.

And Downstream speed = (6+X) mph.

It takes her 2 hours to row upstream from a dock to a park. She then rows back to the dock, and it only takes 40 minutes.

It means Distance upstream = Distance downstream.

Speed upstream x Time upstream = Speed downstream x Time downstream.

(6-x) * 2 = (6+x) * 40/60

12 - 2x = 4 + 2x/3

12 - 4 = 2x/3 + 2x

8 = 2x/3 + 6x/3 = 8x/3

x = 3 mph.

Hence, option A is correct, i.e. 3 mph.

The cost of six hens and one duck at the university poultry farm is GH₵40. While four hens and three ducks cost GH₵36. What is t
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call hens h and ducks d. The first algebraic equation says that 6 hens (6h) plus (+) 1 duck (1d) cost (=) 40.

The second algebraic equations says that 4 hens (4h) plus (+) 3 ducks (3d) cost (=) 36.

The system is

6h + 1d = 40

4h + 3d = 36

The best way to go about this is to solve it by substitution since we have a 1d in the first equation. We will solve that equation for d since that makes the most sense algebraically. Doing that,

1d = 40 - 6h.

Now that we know what d equals, we can sub it into the second equation where we see a d. In order,

4h + 3d = 36 becomes

4h + 3(40 - 6h) = 36 and then simplify. By substituting into the second equation we eliminated one of the variables. You can only have 1 unknown in a single equation, and now we do!

4h + 120 - 18h = 36 and

-14h = -84 so

h = 6.

That means that each hen costs $6. Since the cost of a duck is found in the bold print equation above, we will sub in a 6 for h to solve for d:

1d = 40 - 6(6) and

d = 40 - 36 so

d = 4.

That means that each duck costs $4.

What is the square root of -9 in simplest form
matrenka [14]
It is 3i.
The square root of -9 is the square root of -1 times the square root of 9.
So: the square root of 9 is 3, and the square root of -1 is called i (this doesn't actually exist, it's just imaginary).
Then, the square root of -9 is 3i.
