A college student earned $8200 during summer vacation working as a waiter in a restaurant on the boardwalk at the beach. The stu

Answer:

$3000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the amount invested at 7% is $X and the amount invested at 10% is $Y (assuming that the college student invested all his/her income on the two schemes). Therefore:

X + Y = 8200 (The sum of investments is basically the total income).

0.07X + 0.1Y = 664 (The sum of the interest received from the invested amounts is actually the total return).

Now solving these 2 simultaneous equations:

x + y = 8200 (Equation 1)

7x + 10y = 66400 (Equation 2)

From (Equation 1):

x = 8200 - y (Equation 3)

Put (Equation 3) in (Equation 2):

7(8200 - y) + 10y = 66400.

57400 - 7y + 10y = 66400.

3y = 9000

y = 3000.

$Y is the amount invested at 10%, therefore the final answer is $3000!!!

The graph of the function C(x) = −0.34x2 + 12x + 62 is shown. The function models the production cost, C, in thousands of dollar
Virty [35]

Answer:

0 ≤ x < 1.12 and 34.18 < x ≤ 39.87

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> is the number of tires produced, in thousands

C(x) --->  the production cost, in thousands of dollars

we have

C(x)=-0.34x^{2} +12x+62

This is a vertical parabola open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)

The vertex represent a maximum

The graph in the attached figure

we know that

Looking at the graph

For the interval [0,1.12) -----> 0\leq x

The value of C(x) ----> C(x) < 75

That means ----> The production cost is under $75,000

For the interval (34.18,39.87] -----> 34.18 < x\leq 39.87

The value of C(x) ----> C(x) < 75

That means ----> The production cost is under $75,000

Remember that the variable x (number of tires) cannot be a negative number

therefore

If the company wants to keep its production costs under $75,000 a reasonable domain for the constraint x is

0 ≤ x < 1.12 and 34.18 < x ≤ 39.87
