Vannorman Corporation processes sugar beets in batches. A batch of sugar beets costs $78 to buy from farmers and $18 to crush in

the company's plant. Two intermediate products, beet fiber and beet juice, emerge from the crushing process. The beet fiber can be sold as is for $25 or processed further for $16 to make the end product industrial fiber that is sold for $57. The beet juice can be sold as is for $39 or processed further for $22 to make the end product refined sugar that is sold for $84. How much profit (loss) does the company make by processing one batch of sugar beets into the end products industrial fiber and refined sugar?

Answer:

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>We will take into account the differential costs only. Therefore, the costs of sugar beets and to crush them are irrelevant to decision making.</u>

<u>Beet fiber:</u>

Sold as is= $25

Continue processing= 57 - 16= $41

It is more convenient to process further the beet fiber.

<u>Beet juice:</u>

Sold as is= $39

Continue processing= 84 - 22= $62

It is more convenient to process further the beet juice.

The coordinates of AB are A(-5, -1) and B(-2, -6). If AC : CB = 3 : 7, what are the coordinates of point C?

\text{Let the coordinates of AB are }A(-5,-1), \text{ and }B(-2, -6)\\&#10;\\&#10;\text{let the coordinate of th point C be (x, y), such that}\\&#10;\\&#10;AC:CB=3:7\\&#10;\\&#10;\text{By the section formula, we know that if P(x,y) lies on a line segment AB}\\&#10;\text{where, }A(x_1,y_1), \ B(x_2,y_2)\text{ and satisfy the ratio, }AP:PB=m:n, \text{ then}

P=\left ( \frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, \ \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n} \right ).\\&#10;\\&#10;\text{So using this formula, we get for the given problem}\\&#10;\\&#10;C=\left ( \frac{3(-2)+7(-5)}{3+7}, \ \frac{3(-6)+7(-1)}{3+7} \right )\\&#10;\\&#10;\Rightarrow C=\left ( \frac{-6-35}{10}, \ \frac{-18-7}{10} \right )\\&#10;\\&#10;\Rightarrow C=\left ( \frac{-41}{10}, \ \frac{-25}{10} \right )\\&#10;\\&#10;\Rightarrow C=\left ( -4.1, \ -2.5 \right )

Coordinates of the point C is: (-4.1, -2.5)

Can someone help with these problem please?

The missing exponent is -3. The exponent on the x variable only applies to x, so with that in mind, only x is in the denominator. This means that its exponent needs to be a negative. A negative exponent flips its base to the reciprocal making x into 1/x. When multiplying only an exponent, you multiply the two exponents. For example: (y^4)^2 = y^8. 2 times 3 is 6.

The missing exponent is -3. A negative exponent flips the base to its reciprocal making 2x/3 into 3/2x, and 3^3 is 27. The same applies to 2x. (2x)^3 is 8x^3.

The other one’s missing exponent is 2. As, mention before, a negative exponent results in flipping the base to its reciprocal making 1/3 into 3. 3^3 is 27. You can figure out which exponent make 3 into 9 which is 2.
Hope this helped.

Find the distance :
faltersainse [42]
1. You would do 45 × 3 = 135 miles
2. 630 ÷ 2 = 315. 630 + 315 = 945 miles
3. 54 × 11 = 594 miles

1. Time is distance ÷ speed, so 4760 ÷ 560 = 8 1/2hours
2. 27 ÷ 54 = 0.5 hours, or 30 minutes
3. 1748 ÷ 437 = 4 hours

I hope this helps!

If u(x) = x5 – x4 + x2 and v(x) = –x2, which expression is equivalent to (u/v)(x)
choli [55]

Answer:

c) -x^3 + x^2 - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: u (x) = x^5 - x^4 +x^2 and v(x) = -x^2

(u/v)(x) = u(x)/v(x)

Now plug in the given functions in the above formula, we get

= (x^5 - x^4 + x^2) / -x^2

We can factorize the numerator.

In x^5 - x^4 + x^2. the common factor is x^2, so we can take it out and write the remaining terms in the parenthesis.

= x^2 (x^3 - x^2 + 1) / - x^2

Now we gave x^2 both in the numerator and in the denominator, we can cancel it out.

(u/v)(x) = (x^3 - x^2 + 1) / -1

When we dividing the numerator by -1, we get

(u/v)(x) = -x^3 + x^2 - 1

Answer: c) -x^3 + x^2 - 1

Hope you will understand the concept.

Thank you.
