Answer:

Option A. $7\ basil$ and $11\ squash$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

b-----> the number of packets of basil seed

s-----> the number of packets of squash seeds

we know that

$b+s=18$

$b=18-s$ -----> equation A

$1.5b+2.5s=38$ -----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B and solve for s

$1.5(18-s)+2.5s=38$

$27-1.5s+2.5s=38$

$s=38-27$

$s=11$

Find the value of b

$b=18-11=7$

therefore

$7\ basil$ and $11\ squash$

Find the marginal profit of C(x)=5x^2, R(x)=x^3+7x+10 and find all values of x for which the marginal profit is zero.

jonny [76]

Marginal profit, P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

P(x) = x³ - 5x² + 7x + 10

x³ - 5x² + 7x + 10 = 0
If you solve it, you get x = -0.839 where P(x) is zero

Alenkinab [10]

The number of half-hour sittings needed to watch all the shows by Devon is 11

Solution:

Given, Devon records 4 hours of reality shows on her DVR

she records comedy shows for 3/8 of that amount of time.

$\rightarrow \frac{3}{8} \text { of } 4 \text { hours } \rightarrow \frac{3}{8} \times 4 \rightarrow \frac{3}{2} \text { hours }$

Devon watches all the reality and comedy shows in half-hour sittings.

We have to find the number of half-hour sittings needed to watch all the shows

Now, number of half hour sittings is given as

$=\frac{\text { total time of videos }}{\text { time for hlaf hour sitting }}$

$\begin{array}{l}{=\frac{4 \text { hours for reality shows }+\frac{3}{2} \text { hours for comedy shows }}{\frac{1}{2} \text { hours for each sitting }}} \\\\ {=\frac{4+\frac{3}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{\frac{8+3}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{\frac{11}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{11}{2} \times \frac{2}{1}=11}\end{array}$

Hence Devon needs 11 sittings
