Answer:

2/3 min

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write these as equations

so 8-2.5x=5-0.5x

We isolate x by subtracting both sides by 5

3-2.5x=0.5x

add 2.5x to both sides

3=2x

divide both sides by 2

x=2/3min

Let f(x) = cos(x) + 2x.<br> Where does f have critical points?
adell [148]

Answer:

<em>f</em> has no critical points.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

f(x)=\cos(x)+2x

A function has critical points whenever its derivative equals 0 or is undefined.

Differentiate the function:

f'(x)=-\sin(x)+2

Since this will never be undefined, solve for its zeros:

0=-\sin(x)+2

Hence:

\displaystyle \sin(x)=2

Recall that the value of sine is always between -1 and 1.

Thus, no real solutions exist.

Therefore, <em>f</em> has no critical points.

Answer:

The company should make 0 jumbo and 300 regular biscuits.

The maximum income is $42.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say J is the number of jumbo biscuits and R is the number of regular biscuits.

The oven can bake at most 300 biscuits.  So:

J + R ≤ 300

Each jumbo biscuit uses 2 oz of flour, and each regular biscuit uses 1 oz of flour.  There is 500 oz of flour available.  Therefore:

2J + R ≤ 500

Income from jumbo biscuits is $0.12, and income from regular biscuits is $0.14.  So the total income is:

I = 0.12J + 0.14R

Graph the two inequalities under the condition that J ≥ 0 and R ≥ 0:

desmos.com/calculator/aea00cmpwm

The region where the inequalities intersect has 4 corners:

(J, R) = (0, 0); (0, 300); (250, 0); (200, 100)

Find the income at each point:

(0, 0): I = 0

(0, 300): I = 42

(250, 0): I = 30

(200, 100): I = 38

The company makes maximum profit of $42 by baking 0 jumbo biscuits and 300 regular biscuits.
