Answer:

19 birds

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I wrote my two equations:

5.5x +8.5y = 291.5

x + y = 41

Next, I got the variable y by itself in the second equation. Subtract x to get y = -x + 41. Then, I substituted what y equaled into the first equation. It should look like this: 5.5x + 8.5(-x+41) = 291.5. Distribute 8.5 to get 5.5x -8.5x + 348.5 = 291.5. Subtract 5.5x and 8.5x to get -3x. It should look like this: -3x + 348.5= 291.5. Subtract 348.5 from 291.5 to get -57. Now, you should have -3x = -57. Divide -3 from both sides, to get x = 19. So, there are 19 birds. If you want to go even further, 41-19= 22, which means there are 22 cats. Hope this helped!

How to I find a? It’s round to the nearest tenth.
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

a ≈ 21.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We require the third angle in the triangle

Subtract the sum of the 2 angles from 180

third angle = 180° - (75 + 31.8)° = 180° - 106.8° = 73.2°

Using the Sine rule, that is

\frac{a}{sin73.2} = \frac{22}{sin75} ( cross- multiply )

a × sin75° = 22 × sin73.2° ( divide both sides by sin75° )

a = \frac{22sin73.2}{sin75} ≈ 21.8 ( to the nearest tenth )

An aircraft factory manufactures airplane engines. The unit cost (the cost in dollars to make each airplane engine) depends on t
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Minimum unit cost = 5,858

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function : C(x)=x^2−520x+73458

To find the minimum unit cost :

Take the derivative of C(x) with respect to x

dC/dx = 2x - 520

Set = 0

2x - 520

2x = 520

x = 260

To minimize unit cost, 260 engines must be produced

Hence, minimum unit cost will be :

C(x)=x^2−520x+73458

Put x = 260

C(260) = 260^2−520(260) + 73458

= 5,858
