You can graph this two ways. You can change it into slope intercept form, y=mx+b, or find the x- and y-intercepts. To change it to slope intercept form you would need to add 12x to both sides and divide both sides by 18. By doing this, you'd get y=2/3x+17/9. You'd then go up on the y-axis to 17/9 or 1.89 and place a point. You'd then go up two and to the right three and place another point. You can do this one more time and connect the points. To find the x- and y- intercepts you would plug 0 in for x and solve for y, getting 17/9, and plug 0 in for y and solve for x, getting -17/6. You'd then plot the points (-17/6, 0) and (17/9) and connect the points forming a line.
This function is a quadratic whose coefficients are a=0.06, b= -7.2, c = 390.
Because a is +, the graph is a parabola that opens up and has a minimum. Your job is to find the value of b at this minimum (at the vertex). It is
b = -(-7.2) / [2(0.06)], or b = 60.
Production costs will be minimized if the number of bats made is 60.
Answer:
35.5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
x + x + 3 + x + 5 = 99.5
3x + 8 = 99.5
3x = 91.5
x = 30.5
Largest side = (x+5)
30.5 + 5 = 35.5 feet
Sorry I can't lol but hope someone else can
2:3:1....added = 6
2/6(72) = 144/6 = 24
3/6(72) = 216/6 = 36
1/6(72) = 72/6 = 12
ratio is now 24:36:12
