Answer:

40 and 20

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Uncle Jason's age = x
  • Nephew Ralph age = y
<h3>Solution</h3>

<u>Age now:</u>

  • x= 2y

<u>Age 10 years ago: </u>

  • x- 10 = 3(y-10)

<u>Substituting x in the second equation:</u>

  • 2y - 10 = 3y - 30
  • 3y - 2y = 30 -10
  • y = 20

<u>Then, finding x:</u>

  • x= 2y
  • x= 2*20
  • x= 40

<u>Answer:</u> Uncle Jason is 40 and nephew Ralph is 20 years old

For the equation y=3x^2+12x-4, what is the minimum value?
Neko [114]

Answer:

(-2, -16)

Step-by-step explanation:

the minimum is at the vertex which can be found using -b/2a for the x-value of the vertex.

y = 3x^2 + 12x - 4

  = ax^2 + bx - c

b = 12, a = 3

-12/(2(3))

-12/6

x = -2

y = 3(-2)^2 + 12(-2) - 4

y = -16

(-2, -16)

A company sells a chair for $450. It costs them $350 to make each chair, plus fixed costs for operation of $20,000
lianna [129]

The cost and revenue function of the company are as follows;

  • cost function = 350x + 20000
  • revenue function = 100x - 20000

<h3>How to find the cost and revenue function?</h3>

It costs them $350 to make each chair, plus fixed costs for operation of $20,000. Therefore,

let

x = number of chair

cost function = 350x + 20000

The company sells a chair for $450. Therefore,

revenue function = 450x  - (350x + 20000)

revenue function = 450x - 350x - 20000

revenue function = 100x - 20000
