For absolute value, you are bassically going to take the numbers in the absolute value brackets if you will and work with them. so -5 + -2, its the same as -5-2 which is -7. absolute value will make this positive. so your answer should be 7

A breed of cattle needs at least 10 proteins and 8 fats units per day. Feed type I provides 6 protein and 2 fat units at $4 per

Vikki [24]

Let the number of bags of feed type I to be used be x and the number of bags of feed type II to be used be y, then:

We are to minimize:

C = 4x + 3y

subject to the following constraints:

$6x+2y\geq10 \\ \\ 2x+3y\geq8 \\ \\ x\geq0,\ y\geq0$

From the graph of the 4 constraints above, the corner points are (0, 5), (1, 2), (4, 0).

Testing the objective function for the minimum corner point we have:

For (0, 5):
C = 4(0) + 3(5) = $15

For (1, 2):
C = 4(1) + 3(2) = 4 + 6 = $10

For (4, 0):
C = 4(4) + 3(0) = $16.

Therefore, the combination that yields the minimum cost is 1 bag of type I feed and 2 bags of type II feed.

Rewrite the equation y – 4x = –9 in slope-intercept form.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

The answer to your question is A. Y= -4x-9 because is you look at the pre written equation it shows that 4x is negative and that 9 is negative too. Also, if you rewrite an equation you have to isolate Y. Therefore A is the correct answer

Given the exponential model y= 200(.80)^x, tell whether the model represents exponential growth or decay. Then, tell what the gr

BaLLatris [955]

This function represents exponential decay.

We know it's exponential because the value the base (200) is being multiplied by is being raised to the power of x.

In this case, the multiplication value is 0.8, which is less than 1.

If the multiplication value is less than 1, than the function will decay, rather than grow.

In this case, the factor is 0.8, or 80%.

Do consumers spend more on a trip to Store A or Store B? Suppose researchers interested in this question collected a systematic

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

We can be 95% confident that consumers spend between $4.04 and $15.96 less at Store A than the consumers spend at Store B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Intervals give an estimate as range of values for a statistic concerned at a confidence level.

In this case the statistic is the mean difference between Store A and Store B purchase amounts and the confidence level is 95%.

Confidence Interval can be calculated using M±ME where

M is the sample mean difference between Store A and Store B purchase amounts

ME is the margin of error from the mean
