Hamburgers cost $2.50 and cheeseburgers cost $3.50 at a snack bar. Ben has sold no more than $30 worth of hamburgers and cheeseb

urgers in the first hour of business. Let x represent the number of hamburgers and y represent the number of cheeseburgers. The inequality 2.50x + 3.50y ≤ 30 represents the food sales in the first hour.
If Ben has sold 4 cheeseburgers, what is the maximum value of hamburgers Ben could have sold?

Using the inequality
2.50x + 3.50y ≤ 30
substituting y with the number of cheeseburgers sold
2.5x + 3.5(4) ≤ 30
x = 6.4
The maximum number of hamburgers he can sell is 6

Answer:

The maximum value of hamburgers is $6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-------> the number of hamburgers

y-----> the number of cheeseburgers

we know that

$2.50x+3.50y\leq 30$ -------> inequality that represent the situation

For $y=4$

substitute in the inequality and solve for x

$2.50x+3.50(4)\leq 30$

$2.50x+14\leq 30$

$2.50x\leq 30-14$

$2.50x\leq 16$

$x\leq 6.4$

so

The maximum value of hamburgers is $6$

How to Solve -5x is greater than or equal to 40

brilliants [131]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to divide -5 from each side so -5/-5x which would be x and divide -5 by 40 which is -8 so x is greater than or equal to -8

In a clinical test with 2161 subjects, 1214 showed improvement from the treatment. Find the margin of error for the 95% confiden

Vlad [161]

Answer:

The margin of error for the 95% confidence interval used to estimate the population proportion is of 0.0209.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is of:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In a clinical test with 2161 subjects, 1214 showed improvement from the treatment.

This means that $n = 2161, \pi = \frac{1214}{2161} = 0.5618$

95% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.05$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so $Z = 1.96$ .

Margin of error:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$M = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5618*0.4382}{2161}}$

$M = 0.0209$

The margin of error for the 95% confidence interval used to estimate the population proportion is of 0.0209.

Expand the polynomial and simplify: (4xy− 1 8 y^2)^2

Vinvika [58]

Answer: $4y^{2}(2x-9y)^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following polynomial:

$(4xy-18y^{2})^{2}$

This is a polynomial of the form $(a-b)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2}$ . Following this rule to expand it, we have:

$(4xy)^{2}-2(4xy)(18y^{2})+(18y^{2})^{2}$

$16x^{2}y^{2}-144xy^{3}+324y^{4}$

Applying common factor $4y^{2}$ :

$4y^{2}(4x^{2}-36xy+81y^{2})$

Note the polynomial inside the parenthesis is a perfect square trinomial, which can be factored to $(2x-9y)^{2}$ . Hence, the final simplification is:

$4y^{2}(2x-9y)^{2}$

Please anybody help me with this question

inn [45]

Answer:

y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide both by 1/4

x = 1 when y = 32/3

When x = 1 1/8 = 9/8

y = 32/3 x 9/8

y = 12
