Find the total cost of producing 5 widgets. Widget Wonders produces widgets. They have found that the cost, c(x), of making x widgets is a quadratic function in terms of x. The company also discovered that it costs $15.50 to produce 3 widgets, $23.50 to produce 7 widgets, and $56 to produce 12 widgets.
OK...so we have
a(7)^2 + b(7) + c = 23.50 → 49a + 7b + c = 23.50 (1)
a(3)^2 + b(3) + c = 15.50 → 9a + 3b + c = 15.50 subtracting the second equation from the first, we have
40a + 4b = 8 → 10a + b = 2 (2)
Also
a(12)^2 + b(12) + c = 56 → 144a + 12b + c = 56 and subtracting (1) from this gives us
95a + 5b = 32.50
And using(2) we have
95a + 5b = 32.50 (3)
10a + b = 2.00 multiplying the second equation by -5 and adding this to (3) ,we have
45a = 22.50 divide both sides by 45 and a = 1/2 and using (2) to find b, we have
10(1/2) + b = 2
5 + b = 2 b = -3
And we can use 9a + 3b + c = 15.50 to find "c"
9(1/2) + 3(-3) + c = 15.50
9/2 - 9 + c = 15.50
-4.5 + c = 15.50
c = 20
So our function is
c(x) = (1/2)x^2 - (3)x + 20
And the cost to produce 5 widgets is = $17.50
Answer:
Answer:
18 cups.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that Bernie spends $6.50 on ingredients and cups for his lemonade stand. He charges $1.50 for each cup of lemonade. Inequality that represents this situation: .
To find number of cups x to make a profit of at least $20 we will use our given inequality.
Therefore, in order to make a profit of at least $20 Bernie need to sell 18 cups of lemonade.
The answer would be 14
Explanation:
If you look on a number line and start from 15 then from there you minus 6 which equals 9 then you minus 5 which equals 4 and add 10 which equals 14 and that 14 is on the positive side of the number line. So 14 is your answer.
Okay, I'm pretty sure the answers are:
11) B
12) C
13) B
14) A
Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 23 = ?
x = 7
All we need to do is plug in x =7 to the first equation:
7 + 23 = ?
We simplify and get:
30 = ?
