Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, what we know is that the total distance from the dormitory to the city is 1 if expressed in fraction. What we need to know is the fraction of the journey that is scheduled as the last part.

We can get this by subtracting the fractions of the first two phases from 1.

This goes as follows:

1 - (1/5) - (2/3) = 2/15

Now, we know that the final 8 kilometers constitute a fraction of just 2/5

Hence, we know that 2/15 of the total journey is 8 kilometers.

Let the total journey distance be T. This means that 2/15 of T is 8km

2/15 * T = 8km

T = ( 8 * 15 )/2 = 120/2 = 60km

This maximization linear programming problem is not in "standard" form. It has mixed constraints, some involving ≤ inequalities
stellarik [79]

Answer: See Annex

z (max)  = 190

x = 10

y = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

z = 5*x  +  7*y     to maximize

Subject to:

x + y ≤ 30

2*x + y ≤50

2*x - y ≥ 0

x≥=  y ≥0

Answer:

  4 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the ways 24 can be written as a product.

If a line has a slope of 3, what is the slope of a perpendicular line?
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Slope of perpendicular line is -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is 3 and we have to find the slope of the perpendicular line.

We know that the slope of two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal of each other.

In other words if the slope of the line is m then then slope of the perpendicular line is -\frac{1}{m}

The reciprocal of 3 is \frac{1}{3}

Hence, negative reciprocal of 3 is -\frac{1}{3}

Therefore, the slope of perpendicular line is -1/3

C is the correct option.
