Applied linear algebraA manufacturer produces desks and bookcases. Desks d require 5 hours of cutting time and 10 hours of assem

bling time. Bookcases b require 15 minutes of cutting time and one hour of assembling time. Each day, the manufacturer has available 200 hours for cutting and 500 hours for assembling. The manufacturer wants to know how many desks and bookcases should be scheduled for completion each day to utilize all available work power. Show that this problem is equivelent to solving two equatinos in the two unknowns d and b.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d= number of desks and b= number of bookcases.

Since each day the number of hours available for cutting is 200, then the amount of desks produced by the cutting time of one desk plus the amount of bookcases produced by the cutting time of one bookcase must be 200. This means that

5d+1/4b=200

Now, since each day the number of hours available for assembling time is 500, then the amount of desks produced by the assembling time of one desk plus the amount of bookcases produced by the assembling time of one bookcase must be 500. This means that

10d+b=500

Then, solve this problem is equivalent to solve the following linear system

5d+\frac{1}{4}b=200 \\10d+b=500 in the two unknowns d and b

Answer:

30 desks

200 bookcases

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem we must propose 2 linear equations as follows.

1.for the cutting time = if we multiply the number of desks (D) by the cutting time (5h) plus the number of bookcases (B) by the cutting time (15min = 0.25h), it will result in the Total available cutting time = 200h

1.For the time of the assembly = if we multiply the number of desks (D) by the time of assembly (10h) plus the number of bookcases (B) by the time of assembly (1h), it will result in the total time available of assembly = 500h.

taking into account the above we infer the following equations

5D+0.25B=200  (ecuation number 1)

10D+B=500         (ecuation number 2)

Now what we have to do is solve the system of two linear equations and two unknowns, for which we will take equation number 1 multiply it by four and subtract equation 2, then apply algebra

4(1)-(2)

20D+B=800

-

10D+B=500

---------------------------

10D=300

D=\frac{300}{100} =30Desks

Now we use equation number 2 to find the number of book cases

10D+B=500  

B=500-10D

B=500-10(30)=200bookcases

You made a deal with Ms.Williams to read 100 pages every night. You know that it takes you 32 minutes to read 16 pages. How long
AnnyKZ [126]
Put the problem into a proportion to make it easier to solve.

32        x
      =
16       100

You can use cross products to simplify this proportion.  Multiply 32 by 100, and set that number equal to 16 *x.  

Your equation should now look like this
3200=16x

You are trying to get the variable alone on one side, so you should divide both sides by 16.

If this is performed correctly, then your final answer should be 

x=200.

It will take you 200 minutes (3 hours 20 mins) to read the pages that you promised Ms. Williams

A candidate running for office is putting on a gala as a fundraiser, with hopes of raising more than $7,900 in political contrib
baherus [9]
The simplest interpretation would go a little something like this:

We know that we want the total donation amount to be more than $7,900, so we can set up this inequality to begin with

D \ \textgreater \ 7,900

Where D is the total donations raised (in dollars). How do we find D? Well, we just add up the total number of table reservations sold and the total number of single tickets sold. If we let r stand for the number of reservation tickets and s stand for the number of single tickets, then we have

D=540r+34s

So, the inequality representing this situation would be

540r+34s\ \textgreater \ 7,900

And that would probably be fine for this problem.

<span><em>Footnote:</em> </span>Of course, if this were a real-life scenario, we'd need to take some additional details into account: How many tables do we have? How many people can be seated at each table?

What is/are the classification of functions that has its inverse?
UNO [17]

Answer:

Invertible functions

Step-by-step explanation:

An inverse of a function is one that reverses the operation of the function such that the result of the function on a variable, is reversed back to the initial variable

Therefore, when we have the the result of the function, f on x as y given as follows;

f(x) = y

The inverse of the function, g on the result, y gives the initial variable, x as follows;

g(y) = x

Example of invertible functions includes;

f(x) = x²

An example of a non-invertible function includes;

f(x) = 2·x².
