Let A, B and C be the number of pounds of each brand of coffee.
A+B+C=51 (weight) which is 3A+B=51 because C=2A, B=51-3A
15.99A+13.21B+19.90A=51×12.82=653.82 (cost) I’ve used C=2A
35.89A+13.21B=653.82
Substitute for B:
35.89A+13.21(51-3A)=653.82
35.89A+673.71-39.63A=653.82
3.74A=19.89, A=117/22 pounds, B=771/22 pounds, C=117/11 pounds.
Approximate weights are A: 5.32lb, B: 35.05lb, C: 10.64lb.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 25 feet long The height of the right triangle is shrinking at a rate of 1 ft/week. What is
Lesechka [4]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  increasing 7/24 ft per week

Step-by-step explanation:

An expression for the length of the base can be written from the Pythagorean theorem relation between the sides of the triangle.

If the height is 7-x, where x is the number of weeks after the height is 7 feet, then the base length is ...

  b = √(25^2 -(7-x)^2) = √(625 -(49 -14x +x^2)) = √(-x^2 +14x +576)

Then the rate of change of b with respect to x is ...

  b' = (-2x +14)/(2√(-x^2 +14x +576))

When x=0, the rate of change of the base is ...

  b' = 14/(2√576) = 7/24

The base is increasing 7/24 ft per week when the height is 7 ft.
