A candy store sells chocolate-covered almonds for $6.50 a pound and chocolate-covered peanuts for $4.00 per pound. The manager d

ecides to make a bridge mix that combines the almonds with the peanuts. She wants the bridge mix to sell for $6.00 per pound, and there should be no loss in revenue from selling the bridge mix versus the almonds and peanuts alone. How many pounds of chocolate-covered almonds and chocolate-covered peanuts are required to create 50 pounds of this bridge mix?
Please show work and explain to me what I need to plug in where. Thanks!

(6.5a+4p)/50=6 and a+p=50, p=50-a so

(6.5a+200-4a)/50=6

2.5a+200=300

2.5a=100

a=40

So the store would mix 40lb of almonds with 10lb of peanuts to produced a 50lb mix worth $6/lb

For the function f(x)=-4sqrtx-1, find the inverse function.
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Given function: f(x)=-4\sqrt{x}-1.

We need to find the inverse of the given function f(x).

Let us write the function in terms of x and y first.

y=-4\sqrt{x}-1

Now, in order to find the inverse, we need to switch x and y, we get

x=-4\sqrt{y}-1

Now, we need to solve it for y.

In order to solve it for y, we need to isolate it for y.

Adding 1 on both sides, we get

x+1=-4\sqrt{y}-1+1

x+1=-4\sqrt{y}

Dividing both sides by -4, we get

\frac{x+1}{-4}=\sqrt{y}

In order to get rid square root from right side, we need to square both side.

(\frac{x+1}{-4})^2=(\sqrt{y})^2

\frac{(x+1)^2}{16}=y

Or y=\frac{1}{16}(x+1)^2

Therefore, inverse function is

f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{16}(x+1)^2.
