Answer:

1.05\ in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx

Let

x -----> the amount of weight

y ----- the amount a spring will stretch

we know that

For x=80 lb, y=2.1 in

<em>Find the value of k (constant of proportionality)</em>

k=y/x

substitute the values

k=2.1/80

The linear equation is

y=(2.1/80)x

How far will it stretch when 40 pounds is attached?

For x=40 lb

substitute the value of x in the linear equation and solve for y

y=(2.1/80)(40)=1.05\ in

The cost c, for manufacturing x flags is given by c=x? -24x +39. Find the number of flags manufactured if the cost is $120.
IRINA_888 [86]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  27

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find x when c = 120.

  120 = x^2 -24x +39

  x^2 -24x -81 = 0 . . . . . . subtract 120 to put in standard form

  (x -27)(x +3) = 0 . . . . .  .factor it

Solutions are ...

  x = 27, x = -3 . . . . . values of x that make the factors zero

The number of flags manufactured for a cost of $120 is 27 flags.
