A grocer sells 30 loaves of bread a day. The cost is $2.50 per loaf. The grocer estimates that for each $0.50 increase in cost,

2 fewer loaves of bread will be sold per day. Let x represent the number of $0.50 increases in the cost of a loaf of bread.For what number of $0.50 increases in the cost of a loaf of bread will the grocer's generated revenue be greater than zero?
A. The grocer's generated revenue will be greater than zero for any number of $0.50 increases greater than 20.


B. The grocer's generated revenue will be greater than zero for any number of $0.50 increases less than 20.


C. The grocer's generated revenue will be greater than zero for any number of $0.50 increases greater than 15

.

D. The grocer's generated revenue will be greater than zero for any number of $0.50 increases less than 15.

Answer:

none of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

The grocer's revenue will be the product of the number of loaves sold (30-2x) and their price (2.50+0.50x).

Revenue will be positive for values of x between those that make these factors be zero. The number of loaves sold will be zero when ...

... 30 -2x = 0

... 15 -x = 0 . . . . . divide by 2

... x = 15 . . . . . . . add x

The price of each loaf will be zero when ...

... 2.50 +0.50x = 0

... 5 + x = 0 . . . . . . . multiply by 2

... x = -5 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 5

Revenue will be positive for any number of increases greater than -5 and less than 15.

_____

D is the best of the offered choices, but it is incorrect in detail. -5 is a number less than 15, but will give zero revenue.

The image of the point (-6, -2) under a translation is (-4,2). Find the coordinates of the image of the point (-3, 4) under the
QveST [7]

ANSWER

(-1, 8)

EXPLANATION

First we have to find the rule for this translation.

The image of the x-coordinate of the given point is 2 untis more than the point, so the rule for the horizontal translation is to add 2.

The image of the y-coordinate of the given point is 4 units more than the point, so the rule for the vertical translation is to add 4:

(x,y)\rightarrow(x+2,y+4)

Therefore, the image of point (-3, 4) under the same translation is:

(-3,4)\rightarrow(-3+2,4+4)=(-1,8)

Last week, a coral reef grew 19.8mm taller. How much did it grow in meters?
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Last week the coral reef grew .0196m

Step-by-step explanation:

So it's hard to explain but simply Milli witch is the symbol "m" is a unit prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of one thousandth (10 −3).  So 19.6mm is 19.6*10^-3m.  in other words 19.6 times 10^-3m

hope this helps sorry it's so complicated :/

I need help with this please help me !
mina [271]

Answer:

The value of x is 13.5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can also apply this formula :

\frac{a}{ \sin(A) }  =  \frac{b}{ \sin(B)} =  \frac{c}{ \sin(C) }

So for this question :

\frac{x}{ \sin(34) }  =  \frac{11}{ \sin(27) }

x =  \frac{11}{ \sin(27) }  \times  \sin(34)

x = 13.5 \: units \: (near.tenth)
