Answer:

C. 4 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

6 1/3 and 2 1/3 are mixed numbers because they are a combination of a whole number and a fraction. They could be represented like:

6 1/3 = 6 + 1/3

2 1/3 = 2 + 1/3

To substact them, we need to convert the integer into a fraction. Since 6 = 6/1, we can multiply the numerator a denominator by 3 to get an equivalent fraction. We will do the same with 2 1/3.

6 + 1/3 = 6/1 + 1/3 = 6/1 × (3/3) + 1/3 = 18/3 + 1/3 = 19/3

2 + 1/3 = 2/1 + 1/3 = 2/1 × (3/3) + 1/3 = 6/3 + 1/3 = 7/3

The remaining material will be:

19/3 - 7/3 = 12/3 = 4

There will be 4 yd left.

6 1/3 – 2 1/3 = 4
She'll have 4 yards left over.

PLEASE HELP!!! (question is in image)

sergiy2304 [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the maximum profit by taking the derivative of the profit and then solving for the widget price x that will maximize it. It is done by equating the derivative to zero:

$\dfrac{dy}{dx} = -12x + 600 = 0$

Solving for x, we get

$x = \dfrac{600}{12} = \$50$

By setting the widget price to $50, the company can maximize their profits. To find this maximum profit, substitute the value of x into the equation for the profit:

$y = -6(50)^2 + 600(50) - 5726$

$\;\;\;=\$9,274$

Which point is the solution to the following system of equations?

Naya [18.7K]

The point (3, 2) is the solution to given system of equations

Solution:

Given that system of equations are:

$x^2 + y^2 = 13$ ------ eqn 1

$2x - y = 4$ ------- eqn 2

From eqn 2,

y = 2x - 4

Substitute y = 2x - 4 in eqn 1

$x^2 + (2x - 4)^2 = 13\\\\x^2 + 4x^2 + 16 - 16x = 13\\\\5x^2 -16x + 3 = 0$

Let us solve the above equation by quadratic formula,

$\text {For a quadratic equation } a x^{2}+b x+c=0, \text { where } a \neq 0\\\\x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Using the Quadratic Formula for $5x^2 -16x + 3 = 0$ where a = 5, b = -16, and c = 3

$\begin{aligned}&x=\frac{-(-16) \pm \sqrt{(-16)^{2}-4(5)(3)}}{2 \times 5}\\\\&x=\frac{16 \pm \sqrt{256-60}}{10}\\\\&x=\frac{16 \pm \sqrt{196}}{10}\end{aligned}$

The discriminant $b^2 - 4ac>0$ so, there are two real roots.

$\begin{aligned}&x=\frac{16 \pm \sqrt{196}}{10}=\frac{16 \pm 14}{10}\\\\&x=\frac{16+14}{10} \text { or } \frac{16-14}{10}\\\\&x=\frac{30}{10} \text { or } x=\frac{2}{10}\\\\&x=3 \text { or } x=0.2\end{aligned}$

Substitute for x = 0.2 and x = 3 in 2x - y = 4

when x = 3

2(3) - y = 4

6 - y = 4

y = 2

when x = 0.2

2(0.2) - y = 4

0.4 - y = 4

y = 0.4 - 4

y = -3.6

Thus Option D is correct The point is (3, 2)
