Company B because if u multiply 20×3 then you would only have to pay $60 and if u buy it from company A you would have to multiply 11×3 and then multiply 33× 20 and then you would have to pay $660 so u would save more with company B

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Company A</u>

 $0.11/1ft  3ft = 1yd

 $0.11 x 3ft = $0.33    $0.33 = 1yd

 $0.33 x 20yd = $6.60

<u>Company B</u>

 $3.00/1yd

$3.00 x 20yd = $60.00

$60 - $6.60 = $53.40

Answer Options

<em>A.  Company B, save 40 cents  </em>

<em>B.  Company B, save 60 cents  </em>

<em>C.  Company A, save 40 cents  </em>

<em>D.  Company A, save 60 cents</em>

This was my final answer after i worked out the math, yet my answer does not correspond to the answers given....HELP!

. A recipe calls for 3 teaspoons of salt for every 5 cups of flour. If you wanted to make a larger batch with 15 cups of flour,
riadik2000 [5.3K]
Given:
3 teaspoons of salt for every 5 cups of flour.

How much salt is needed for 15 cups of flour?

This is a proportion problem:
a/b = c/d where ad = bc

3/5 = x/15
3*15 = 5x
45 = 5x
45/5 = x
9 = x

C. 9 teaspoons of salt is needed for 15 cups of flour.

3/5 = 9/15
3*15 = 5*9
45 = 45

Find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the following functions on the given curves functions:
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Solution has explained below:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) f(x,y) = x+y

To find out the maximum and minimum values, we need to find first and second derivatives, we have

fx= 1, fx₁=0 and

fy= 1 and fyy=0

For stationary points fx=fy=0, which gives,

1=1=0, so that there is just one stationary point, (x,y)=(0,0)

If  fx₁  < 0 and fyy < 0, function is maximum

If  fx₁ > 0 and fyy > 0, function is minimum.

(b) g(x,y) = xy

Sol: To find out the maximum and minimum values, we need to find first and second derivatives, we have

fx= 1 and fy  = 1

fx₁ = 0 and fyy =0

for stationary points fx = fy =0, which gives 1=1=0, so that there is just one stationary points, (x,y) =(0,0)

If fx₁ < 0 and fyy < 0, function is maximum.

If  fx₁  > 0 and fyy> 0, function is minimum.

c) h(x,y) = 2x2 + y2

sol: To find out the maximum and minimum values, we need to find first and second derivatives, we have

fx = 4x  and fy = 2y

fx₁= 4  and fyy = 2

Now, taking fx = 0 and fy = 0

Gives x=0 and y=0,

Stationary points are (x,y) = (0,0)

If fx₁ < 0 and fyy < 0, solution is maximum,

If fx₁ > 0 and fyy > 0, solution is minimum,

Here, fx₁ = 4 > 0 and fyy = 2 > 0.
