Answer:

Ground Chicory = 7 pounds and Jamaican Blue Mountain = 5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Joseph would like to make 12 pounds of a coffee blend at a cost of $6.25 per pound.

Total cost of 12 pounds of coffee blend = 6.25 × 12 = $75

Ground Chicory = $4.40 per pound

Jamaican Blue Mountain = $8.84 per pound

Total weight of coffee blend = 12 pounds

Total amount of coffee blend = $75

Let the weight of Chicory be 'x'

The weight of Blue mountain be (12 - x)

75 = 4.40x + 8.84(12-x)

75 = 4.40x + 106.08 + - 8.84x

75 = (4.40x +-8.84x) + 106.08

75 = - 4.44x + 106.08

-4.44x = 75 - 106.08

-4.44x = -31.08

x = 7 pounds

and (12 - x) = 12 - 7 = 5 pounds

Therefore, Ground Chicory would be used 7 pounds and Jamaican Blue Mountain would be used 5 pounds.

A boutique handmade umbrella factory currently sells 37500 umbrellas per year at a cost of 7 dollars each. In the previous year
slega [8]

Answer:

$302,500

Step-by-step explanation:

If cost (C) = $7, then Sales (S) = 37,500 units

If cost (C) = $15, then Sales (S) = 17,500 units

The slope of the linear relationship between units sold and cost is:

m=\frac{37,500-17,500}{7-15}\\m= -2,500

The linear equation that describes this relationship is:

s-s_0 =m(c-c_0)\\s-17500 =-2500(c-15)\\s(c)=-2500c + 55,000

The revenue function is given by:

R(c) = c*s(c)\\R(c)=-2500c^2 + 55,000c

The cost at which the derivative of the revenue equals zero is the cost that yields the maximum revenue.

\frac{d(R(c))}{dc}=0 =-5000c + 55,000\\c=\$11

The optimal cost is $11, therefore, the maximum revenue is:

R(11)=-2500*11^2 + 55,000*11\\R(11)=\$ 302,500

What else would need to be congruent to show that AABC=A DEF by the
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

D. AC ≅ DF

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the AAS Theorem, two triangles are considered congruent to each other when two angles and a mon-included side of one triangle are congruent to two corresponding angles and a corresponding non-included side of the other.

Thus, in the diagram given:

<A and <B in ∆ABC are congruent to corresponding angles <D and <E in ∆DEF.

The only condition left to be met before we can conclude that both triangles are congruent by the AAS Theorem is for a mon-included side AC to be congruent to corresponding non-included side DF.

So, AC ≅ DF is what is needed to make both triangles congruent.

Consider the differential equation y'' − y' − 20y = 0. Verify that the functions e−4x and e5x form a fundamental set of solution
KIM [24]

Answer:

Therefore e^{-4x} and e^{5x} are fundamental solution of the given differential equation.

Therefore  e^{-4x} and e^{5x} are linearly independent, since W(e^{-4x},e^{5x})=9e^x\neq 0

The general solution of the differential equation is

y=c_1e^{-4x}+c_2e^{5x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given differential equation is

y''-y'-20y =0

Here P(x)= -1, Q(x)= -20 and R(x)=0

Let trial solution be y=e^{mx}

Then, y'=me^{mx}   and   y''=m^2e^{mx}

\therefore m^2e^{mx}-m e^{mx}-20e^{mx}=0

\Rightarrow m^2-m-20=0

\Rightarrow m^2-5m+4m-20=0

\Rightarrow m(m-5)+4(m-5)=0

\Rightarrow (m-5)(m+4)=0

\Rightarrow m=-4,5

Therefore the complementary function is = c_1e^{-4x}+c_2e^{5x}

Therefore e^{-4x} and e^{5x} are fundamental solution of the given differential equation.

If y_1 and y_2 are the fundamental solution of differential equation, then

W(y_1,y_2)=\left|\begin{array}{cc}y_1&y_2\\y'_1&y'_2\end{array}\right|\neq 0

Then  y_1 and y_2 are linearly independent.

W(e^{-4x},e^{5x})=\left|\begin{array}{cc}e^{-4x}&e^{5x}\\-4e^{-4x}&5e^{5x}\end{array}\right|

                    =e^{-4x}.5e^{5x}-e^{5x}.(-4e^{-4x})

                    =5e^x+4e^x

                   =9e^x\neq 0

Therefore  e^{-4x} and e^{5x} are linearly independent, since W(e^{-4x},e^{5x})=9e^x\neq 0

Let the the particular solution of the differential equation is

y_p=v_1e^{-4x}+v_2e^{5x}

\therefore v_1=\int \frac{-y_2R(x)}{W(y_1,y_2)} dx

and

\therefore v_2=\int \frac{y_1R(x)}{W(y_1,y_2)} dx

Here y_1= e^{-4x}, y_2=e^{5x},W(e^{-4x},e^{5x})=9e^x ,and  R(x)=0

\therefore v_1=\int \frac{-e^{5x}.0}{9e^x}dx

       =0

and

\therefore v_2=\int \frac{e^{5x}.0}{9e^x}dx

       =0

The the P.I = 0

The general solution of the differential equation is

y=c_1e^{-4x}+c_2e^{5x}
