Answer: 2.4 pounds of the type of nut that sells for $3.00/lb and 4.8 pounds of the type of nut that sells for $5.40/lb would be needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of the type of nut that sells for $3.00/lb that you would need.

Let y represent the number of pounds of the type of nut that sells for $5.40/lb that you would need.

You would like to have 7.2 lbs of a nut mixture. It means that

x + y = 7.2

The mixture would sell for $4.60/lb. It means that the cost of the mixture would be

4.6 × 7.2 = $33.12

This means that

3x + 5.4y = 33.12- - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 7.2 - y Intl equation 1, it becomes

3(7.2 - y) + 5.4y = 33.12

21.6 - 3y + 5.4y = 33.12

- 3y + 5.4y = 33.12 - 21.6

2.4y = 11.52

y = 11.52/2.4

y = 4.8

x = 7.2 - y = 7.2 - 4.8

x = 2.4

7/16 + 3/8 + Blank = 1
7/16 + 6/16 + 3/16 = 1
convert 3/8 to 6/16 then add 7+6 which = 13
that would be 13/16 then figure out that 13+3 =16 so 13/16+3/16= 16/16 or 1

Answer:

  34.5 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you want to find the area of the shaded region. (The actual question is not visible here.)

The area of the triangle (including the rectangle) is given by the formula ...

  A = 1/2bh

The figure shows the base of the triangle is 11 m, and the height is 1+5+3 = 9 m. So, the triangle area is ...

  A = (1/2)(11 m)(9 m) = 49.5 m^2

The rectangle area is the product of its length and width:

  A = LW

The figure shows the rectangle is 5 m high and 3 m wide, so its area is ...

  A = (5 m)(3 m) = 15 m^2

The shaded area is the difference between the triangle area and the rectangle area:

  shaded area = 49.5 m^2 - 15 m^2 = 34.5 m^2

The shaded region has an area of 34.5 square meters.

f(x) = x4 - 50x2 + 3 (a) Find the intervals on which f is increasing. (Enter the interval that contains smaller numbers first.)
shtirl [24]

Answer:

  (-5, 0) ∪ (5, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

I find a graph convenient for this purpose. (See below)

__

When you want to find where a function is increasing or decreasing, you want to look at the sign of the derivative. Here, the derivative is ...

  f'(x) = 4x^3 -100x = 4x(x^2 -25) = 4x(x +5)(x -5)

This has zeros at x=-5, x=0, and x=5. The sign of the derivative will be positive when 0 or 2 factors have negative signs. The signs change at the zeros. So, the intervals of f' having a positive sign are (-5, 0) and (5, ∞).
