A machine makes two components; call them types A and B. It takes 250 seconds to switch production between the component types.

During that time, no production occurs. When in production, each unit of A or B requires 0.5 second to be completed. The two components, A and B, are combined in an assembly process to make a final product; call it C. The assembly step can combine the two components into 1 unit every 2 seconds, or 30 units per minute.

Answer:

The average inventory depends on the manufacturing batch size.

Its formula is:

Inventory=\frac{n}{3n+250}

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete.

Question complete:

<em>"A machine makes two components, call them type A and B. It takes 250 seconds to switch production between the component types. During that time no production occurs. When in production, each unit of A or B requires 0.5 seconds to be completed. The two components, A and B are combined in an assembly process to make a final product, call it C. The assembly step can combine the two components into 1 unit every 2 seconds. What is the average inventory of B components?"</em>

We have two steps in this process: the manufacturing of A and B and the assembly process.

We are not told about the batch size, so we will treat that as a variable called n. This represents the amount of units (of A or B) that are manufactured per cycle.

Time (seconds) to manufacture n units of A and n units of B:

T_m=n*0.5+n*0.5+250=n+250

Time (seconds)to assemble n units of C

T_a=n*2=2n

Then the total time of the cycle is:

T_m+T_a=n+250+2n=3n+250

The average inventory of B is n units per cycle, which lasts (3n+250) seconds.

Inventory=\frac{n}{3n+250}

For a batch size of 100 units, the average inventory is:

I_{100}=\frac{100}{3*100+250}=\frac{100}{550}=  0.182\, units/second

For a batch size of 1,000 units, the average inventory is:

I_{1000}=\frac{1000}{3*1000+250}=\frac{1000}{3250}=  0.308\, units/second

SinA=√1-x÷√1+X<br> Find the value of cosA
Irina-Kira [14]

The value of cos A is √(1 + x²)/ (1 - x²) /√1 + x

<h3>Trigonometric ratios</h3>

It is important to note that

sin A = opposite/ hypotenuse

cos A = adjacent/ hypotenuse

Then,

opposite = \sqrt{1} - x

Hypotenuse = \sqrt{1} + x

Let's find the adjacent side using the Pythagorean theroem

(\sqrt{1} + x)^2 = (\sqrt{1 -x } )^2 + x^2

1 + x^2 = 1 - x^2 + x^2

x = \sqrt{\frac{1 + x^2}{1 -x^2} }

cos A = x/hypotenuse

cos A = \frac{\sqrt{\frac{1+x^2}{1 -x^2} } }{\sqrt{1} +x}

cos A = √(1 + x²)/ (1 - x²) /√1 + x

Thus, the value of cos A is √(1 + x²)/ (1 - x²) /√1 + x

36 is 0.9 of what number?
notsponge [240]
To solve for x you do these steps
x=number

1. do this following multiplication problem to get 0.9%
36/x*100%= 0.9%

2. now do the opposite of what you did before to get x
36 divided by 0.9%= x

36 divided by 0.9%= 40

x = 40

Draw clearly the graph of the linear equation. y=1/2x, where x= (-4 -2, 0, 2, 4)​
aniked [119]

Answer:

(in attachment)

Step-by-step explanation:

you can find the points by inputting the x-values into the equation to solve for the y-values, then connecting the plotted points to create the line.

When x=-4

y=1/2(-4)

y=-2

(-4,-2)

Repeat for all values.
