Answer:

11,400.0

Step-by-step explanation:

There needs to be 40 employees per every 3 supervisors, so this means multiplication, or division, but I went with the multiplication route.

285 x 40 = 11,400.

11,400 / 40 = 285.

The reason I multiplied 285 by 40 is because the supervisors was the main piece to the puzzle, and was much easier than if it gave you employees first, and that's when you'd divide by 3.

If there's 285 supervisors, you have the full amount of supervisors, now you need employees, so you are free to multiply by 40, since thats how many supervisors are available every 40 employees. I hope this helps.

Simplify the expression (x^3- 5x^2 + 7x - 12) ÷ (x – 4) using long division​
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

{x}^{2} - x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Instead, since the divisor is in the form of x - c, use what is called Synthetic Division. Remember, in this formula, -cgives you the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so do not forget it. Anyway, here is how it is done:

4| 1 −5 7 −12

↓ 4 −4 12

_______________

1 −1 3 0 → {x}^{2} - x + 3

You start by placing the c in the top left corner, then list all the coefficients of your dividend [x³ - 5x² + 7x - 12]. You bring down the original term closest to c then begin your multiplication. Now depending on what symbol your result is tells you whether the next step is to subtract or add, then you continue this process starting with multiplication all the way up until you reach the end. Now, when the last term is 0, that means you have no remainder. Finally, your quotient is one degree less than your dividend, so that 1 in your quotient can be an {x}^{2}, the −1 [x] follows right behind it, and bringing up the rear, comes the 3, giving you the quotient of {x}^{2} - x + 3.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

A concession stand at an athletic event is trying to determine how much to sell cola and iced tea for in order to maximize reven
Cerrena [4.2K]

Solution :

Demand for cola : 100 – 34x + 5y

Demand for cola : 50 + 3x – 16y

Therefore, total revenue :

x(100 – 34x + 5y) + y(50 + 3x – 16y)

R(x,y)  = $100x-34x^2+5xy+50y+3xy-16y^2$

$R(x,y) = 100x-34x^2+8xy+50y-16y^2$

In order to maximize the revenue, set

$R_x=0, \ \ \ R_y=0$

$R_x=\frac{dR }{dx} = 100-68x+8y$

$R_x=0$

$68x-8y=100$  .............(i)

$R_y=\frac{dR }{dx} = 50-32x+8y$

$R_y=0$

$8x-32y=-50$  .............(ii)

Solving (i) and (ii),

4 x (i)    ⇒       272x - 32y = 400

     (ii)   ⇒   (-<u>)     8x - 32y = -50   </u>

                        264x        = 450

∴   $x=\frac{450}{264}=\frac{75}{44}$

     $y=\frac{175}{88}$

So, x ≈  $ 1.70      and    y = $ 1.99

    R(1.70, 1.99) = $ 134.94

Thus, 1.70 dollars per cola

          1.99 dollars per iced ted to maximize the revenue.

Maximum revenue = $ 134.94

10 points for answering!<br> What is the answer to 13, 14, and 15?
ki77a [65]

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>13. </h2>

\implies\sf{ {x}^{2} = 144 } \\  \\  \implies\sf{ x =  \pm \sqrt{144} }   \\  \\ \implies\sf{ x =  \pm 12 }

<h2>14.</h2>

\implies\sf{ {x}^{2} =  \dfrac{25}{289}  } \\  \\  \implies\sf{ x =  \pm \sqrt{ \frac{25}{289} } }   \\  \\ \implies\sf{ x =  \pm  \frac{5}{17}  }

<h2>15.</h2>

\implies\sf{ {x}^{3} = 216 } \\  \\  \implies\sf{ x =   \sqrt[3]{216}  }   \\  \\ \implies\sf{ x =  6 }
