Answer:

Jelly Bean price per pound = $3.25, Trail Mix price per pound = $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let jb = price per pound of jelly beans

Let tm = price per pound of trail mix

equation 1 -> 6*jb + 2*tm = 22

equation 2 -> 3*jb + 5*tm = 16

simplify equation 1

6*jb + 2tm = 22

2*tm = 22 - 6*jb

divide by 2

tm = 11 - 3*jb

plug this into equation 2

3*jb + 5*tm = 16

3*jb + 5*(11-3*jb) = 16

3*jb + 55 - 15*jb = 16

-12*jb + 55 = 16

-12*jb = 16 - 55

-12*jb = -39

jb = -39/-12

jb = 3.25

then, plug the cost per pound of jelly beans back into the simplified equation 1

tm = 11 - 3*jb

tm = 11 - 3*3.25

tm = 1.25

Thomas buys a cardboard sheet that is 12 by 8 inches. Create an equation for this situation, find the zeros, and sketch the func
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
For the answer to the question above,

1. If we let x as the side of the square cut-out, the formula for the capacity (volume) of the food dish is:
V = (12 - 2x)(8 - 2x)(x)
V = 96x - 40x^2 + 4x^3
To find the zeros, we equate the equation to 0, so, the values of x that would result to zero would be:
x = 0, 6, 4

2. To get the value of x to obtain the maximum capacity, we differentiate the equation, equate it to zero, and solve for x.
dV/dx = 96 - 80x + 12x^2 = 0
x = 5.10, 1.57
The value of x that would give the maximum capacity is x = 1.57

3. If the volume of the box is 12, then the value of x can be solved using:
12 = 96x - 40x^2 + 4x^3
x = 0.13, 6.22, 3.65
The permissible value of x is 0.13 and 3.65

4. Increasing the cutout of the box increases the volume until its dimension reaches 1.57. After that, the value of the volume decreases it reaches 4.

5. V = (q -2x) (p - 2x) (x)

Account A: $300 monthly deposits, interest rate is 4.2%. Account B: $250 monthly deposits, interest rate is 5.1%. Which account
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to determine the future value of the annuity to determine which account has a greater value

Future value = Amount x annuity factor

annuity factor = Annuity factor = {[(1+r)^n] - 1} / r

Account A = 300 x[ (1.042)^15 - 1 ] / 0.042 = $6097.14

Account B = 250  x[ (1.051)^15 - 1 ] / 0.051 = $5435,42

Account A will be greater
