A furniture store has set aside 800 square feet to display its sofas and chairs. Each sofa utilizes 50 sq. ft. and each chair ut

ilizes 30 sq. ft. At least five sofas and at least five chairs are to be displayed.
a. Write a mathematical model representing the store's constraints.
b. Suppose the profit on sofas is $200 and on chairs is $100. On a given day, the probability that a displayed sofa will be sold is 0.03 and that a displayed chair will be sold is 0.05. Mathematically model each of the following objectives:

1. Maximize the total pieces of furniture displayed.
2. Maximize the total expected number of daily sales.
3. Maximize the total expected daily profit.

Answer:

a) 50S + 30C ≤ 800

b) 1) MAX = S + C

   2) Max = 0.03S + 0.05C

   3) Max = 6S + 5C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total space = 800 square feet

Each sofa = 50 square feet

Each chair = 30 square feet

At least 5 sofas and 5 chairs are to be displayed.

a) Write a mathematical model representing the store's constraints:

Let S denote number of sofas displayed and C denote number of chairs displayed.

The mathematical model will be:

50S + 30C ≤ 800

At least 5 sofas are to be dispayed: S ≥ 5

At least 5 chairs are to be displayed: C ≥ 5

b)

1) Maximize the total pieces of furniture displayed:

S + C = MAX

2) Maximize the total expected number of daily sales:

MAX = 0.03S + 0.05C

3) Maximize the total expected daily profit:

Given:

Profit on sofas = $200

Profit on chairs = $100

Max Expected daily profit =

Max = (200S * 0.03) + (100C * 0.05)

<em>Max = 6S + 5C</em>

Find the vertices and foci of the hyperbola with equation quantity x plus one squared divided by sixteen minus the quantity of y
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The vertices are (3 , -5) , (-5 , -5)

The foci are (4 , -5) , (-6 , -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study the equation of the hyperbola

- The standard form of the equation of a hyperbola with  

  center (h , k) and transverse axis parallel to the x-axis is

  (x - h)²/a² - (y - k)²/b² = 1

- The length of the transverse axis is 2 a

- The coordinates of the vertices are  (h  ±  a  ,  k)

- The coordinates of the foci are (h ± c , k), where c² = a² + b²

- The distance between the foci is  2c

* Now lets solve the problem

- The equation of the hyperbola is (x + 1)²/16 - (y + 5)²/9 = 1

* From the equation

# a² = 16 ⇒ a = ± 4

# b² = 9 ⇒ b = ± 3

# h = -1

# k = -5

∵ The vertices are (h + a , k) , (h - a , k)

∴ The vertices are (-1 + 4 , -5) , (-1 - 4 , -5)

* The vertices are (3 , -5) , (-5 , -5)

∵ c² = a² + b²

∴ c² = 16 + 9 = 25

∴ c = ± 5

∵ The foci are (h ± c , k)

∴ The foci are (-1 + 5 , -5) , (-1 - 5 , -5)

* The foci are (4 , -5) , (-6 , -5)

More people leave Anytown, AL each year than move into it. The population over the past 20 years is shown in the table. Use tech
Phoenix [80]

The equation that models the exponential decline is y = 46348587109809610(0.9861)ˣ if the population over the past 20 years is provided.

<h3>What is the line of best fit?</h3>

A mathematical notion called the line of the best fit connects points spread throughout a graph. It's a type of linear regression that uses scatter data to figure out the best way to define the dots' relationship.

Let's suppose the equation that models the exponential decline is:

\rm y = a(b^x)

From the data given, we can calculate the value of a and b:

a = 46348587109809610

b = 0.9861

y = 46348587109809610(0.9861)ˣ

Thus, the equation that models the exponential decline is y = 46348587109809610(0.9861)ˣ if the population over the past 20 years is provided.

Which conversion factors are used to multiply to 18cm/ s to get meters per minute?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Remark

The short answer is you multiply 0.6 times the cm/s to get m/min.

Solve

Though you didn't ask for it, here's the way it is done. Notice that each set of brackets cancels the units of a set of brackets to the left of the set of brackets you are observing. This is called unit analysis. The answer is given below.

\frac{18 cm}{sec} *[\frac{60 cm}{1 min}] * [\frac{1 m}{100 cm}] = 18*0.6\frac{m}{min}=10.8\frac{m}{min}
