Nemecek Brothers make a single product on two separate production lines, A and B. Its labor force is equivalent to 1000 hours pe

r week, and it has $3000 outlay weekly on operating costs. It takes 1 hour and 4 hours to produce a single item on lines A and B, respectively. The cost of producing a single item is $5 on line A and $4 on line B. (a) Write the inequality that expresses the labor information. (b) Write the inequality that expresses the cost information.

Answer:

(a) The inequality for the number of items, x, produced by the labor, is given as follows;

250 ≤ x ≤ 600

(b) The inequality for the cost, C is $1,000 ≤ C ≤ $3,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The total time available for production = 1000 hours per week

The time it takes to produce an item on line A = 1 hour

The time it takes to produce an item on line B = 4 hour

Therefore, with both lines working simultaneously, the time it takes to produce 5 items = 4 hours

The number of items produced per the weekly labor = 1000/4 × 5 = 1,250 items

The minimum number of items that can be produced is when only line B is working which produces 1 item per 4 hours, with the weekly number of items = 1000/4 × 1 = 250 items

Therefore, the number of items, x, produced per week with the available labor is given as follows;

250 ≤ x ≤ 1250

Which is revised to 250 ≤ x ≤ 600 as shown in the following answer

(b) The cost of producing a single item on line A = $5

The cost of producing a single item on line B = $4

The total available amount for operating cost = $3,000

Therefore, given that we can have either one item each from lines A and B with a total possible item

When the minimum number of possible items is produced by line B, we have;

Cost = 250 × 4 = $1,000

When the maximum number of items possible, 1,250, is produced, whereby we have 250 items produced from line B and 1,000 items produced from line A, the total cost becomes;

Total cost = 250 × 4 + 1000 × 5 = 6,000

Whereby available weekly outlay = $3000, the maximum that can be produced from line A alone is therefore;

$3,000/$5 = 600 items = The maximum number of items that can be produced

The inequality for the cost, C, becomes;

$1,000 ≤ C ≤ $3,000

The time to produce the maximum 600 items on line A alone is given as follows;

1 hour/item × 600 items = 600 hours

The inequality for the number of items, x, produced by the labor, is therefore, given as follows;

250 ≤ x ≤ 600

A rectangles tabletop has a length of 4 3/4 feet and a area of 11 7/8 square feet what is the width of the tabletop
Natalija [7]
Area is length times width. Therefore, width is area divided by length. Convert 11 7/8 to the improper fraction 95/8 and convert 4 3/4 to 19/4. Then, you can fine 95/8 divided by 19/4 by flipping the second fraction and multiplying so that you have 95/8 times 4/19. 4 times 95 is 380 and 8 times 19 is 152. Therefore, the answer is 380/152. This is equivalent to 5/2 or 2.5.

Consider the quadratic function f(x) = –2x2 5x – 4. the leading coefficient of the function is?
evablogger [386]

Answer:

\text{-2 is the leading coefficient of the quadratic equation }f(x)=-2x^2+5x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic function

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

we have to find the leading coefficient of given quadratic equation.

\text{The general form of quadratic equation is }ax^2+bx+c=0

The coefficient of x^2 i.e a is known as the leading coefficient.

Comparing given equation with the standard equation, we get

a=-2

\text{Hence, -2 is the leading coefficient of the quadratic equation }f(x)=-2x^2+5x-4

Please help! if abcd is dilated by a factor of 3, the coordinate of b would be
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

(-6, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of B to start with is

(-2, 2)

To dilate this by a factor of 3....

-2 * 3 = -6

2 * 3 = 6

The new coordinates of B' would be

(-6, 6)

A few things to know:

- The number 3 is called a "<u>scale factor</u>"

- Dilation means we are multiplying all the (X, Y)'s by the scale factor

- If the scale factor is <u>greater than 1</u>, the size of the shape overall increases

- If the scale factor is <u>less than 1</u>, the size of the shape overall decreases

- If the scale factor is <u>negative</u>, the shape size stays the same. The shape just rotates 180 degrees and moves to the opposite quadrant.
