At a grocery store, an uncooked beef roast is on sale for $4.99/lb. At the same store, prepared roast beef is at the deli for $2

.99/100g. How many times more expensive is the deli roast compared to the uncooked roast?

For us to find out how many times more expensive is the deli roast compared to the uncooked roast we need to change the units;
cost of 100g=0.221lb is $2.99
cost of 1 lb will therefore be:
1/0.221*2.99
=$13.53/lb
therefore the number of times more expensive the deli roast is compared to uncooked roast is:
[price of 1lb roasted meat]/[price of 1 lb uncooked meat]
=13.53/4.99
=2.7 times

What values of x make the two expression below equal?
nasty-shy [4]
The denominator can't equal 0.
11(x-7) \not= 0 \\ x-7 \not=0 \\ x \not= 7 \\ \\ \\ \frac{(2x+1)(x-7)}{11(x-7)}=\frac{2x+1}{11} \\ \\
(2x+1)(x-7) \cdot 11= 11(x-7) \cdot (2x+1) \\
11(2x+1)(x-7)=11(2x+1)(x-7) \\ \\
x \in R \setminus \{7 \}

The answer is D.

You throw a ball up and its height h can be tracked using the equation h=2x^2-12x+20.
postnew [5]

<em><u>This problem seems to be wrong because no minimum point was found and no point of landing exists</u></em>

Answer:

1) There is no maximum height

2) The ball will never land

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Derivatives</u>

Sometimes we need to find the maximum or minimum value of a function in a given interval. The derivative is a very handy tool for this task. We only have to compute the first derivative f' and have it equal to 0. That will give us the critical points.

Then, compute the second derivative f'' and evaluate the critical points in there. The criteria establish that

If f''(a) is positive, then x=a is a minimum

If f''(a) is negative, then x=a is a maximum

1)

The function provided in the question is

h(x)=2x^2-12x+20

Let's find the first derivative

h'(x)=4x-12

solving h'=0:

4x-12=0

x=3

Computing h''

h''(x)=4

It means that no matter the value of x, the second derivative is always positive, so x=3 is a minimum. The function doesn't have a local maximum or the ball will never reach a maximum height

2)

To find when will the ball land, we set h=0

2x^2-12x+20=0

Simplifying by 2

x^2-6x+10=0

Completing squares

x^2-6x+9+10-9=0

Factoring and rearranging

(x-3)^2=-1

There is no real value of x to solve the above equation, so the ball will never land.

This problem seems to be wrong because no minimum point was found and no point of landing exists
