An oil refinery is located on the north bank of a straight river that is 2 km wide. A pipeline is to be constructed from the ref

inery to storage tanks located on the south bank of the river 7 km east of the refinery. The cost of laying pipe is $400,000/km over land to a point P on the north bank and $800,000/km under the river to the tanks. To minimize the cost of the pipeline, how far from the refinery should P be located? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

To minimize the cost, we take the straight distance from the refinery to the other side of the river as 2 km. Also, the 7 km will be the distance that has to be traveled by the pipeline in land. The total cost, C, is therefore,
               total cost =   (2 km)($800,000/km) + (7 km)($400,000 /km)
                    total cost = $4,400,000
Thus, the total cost of the pipeline is approximately $4,400,000.00.

The population of Virginia is 30% less than the population of Georgia. If
Advocard [28]

7,150,000

The population of Georgia is 10,500,000.

The population of Virginia is 30% less than that.

So the population of Virginia is 10,500,000 - 30% which equals 7,150,000

The graph of a quadratic function does not cross the x-axis, but crosses the y-axis in one place.
natulia [17]

Answer: D


Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic function has a degree of 2 so there will be two roots.  The statement says the function does NOT CROSS THE X-AXIS so there are no real roots. That means both roots must be imaginary (complex).

BRAINLIESTTT ASAP! PLEASE HELP ME :)
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

(11, -13)

Step-by-step explanation:

A is at (3, -5) and B is at (13, -15)

A point that is ⅘ of the way from A to B also divides the differences of the x-and y-coordinates in the same ratio.

For the x-coordinate,

x₂ - x₁ = 13 - 3 = 10

⅘ × 10 = 8  

 3 + 8 = 11

The x-coordinate of the point is x = 11.

For the y-coordinate,

y₂ - y₁ = -15 - (-5) = -15 + 5 = -10

⅘ × (-10) = -8

-5 + (-8)  = -13

The y-coordinate of the point is at y = -13.

The coordinates of the point are then (11, -13).

The diagram below shows the point ⅘ of the way from A to B.
