Answer:

5.2 Kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

On the table, the Time side gets greater by 1.5 each time, and on the weight side it gets bigger by 7.8 .

Since it's asking for kilograms per month, then you need to find the constant rate, which is x kilograms per 1 month. If he gained 7.8 kilograms in 1.5 months, then you divide 7.8 by 1.5, and that will get you 5.2 kilograms per month.

The wrestler gained 5.20 kilograms per month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the weight gained every month.

y be the original weight before weight gain.

According to given statement;

0.5x+y=80.6   Eqn 1

2x+y=88.4    Eqn 2

3.5x+y=96.2    Eqn 3

Subtracting Eqn 1 from Eqn 2

(2x+y)-(0.5x+y)=88.4-80.6\\2x+y-0.5x-y=7.8\\1.5x=7.8

Dividing both sides by 1.5

\frac{1.5x}{1.5}=\frac{7.8}{1.5}\\x=5.20

The wrestler gained 5.20 kilograms per month.

A restaurant operator in Accra has found out that during the partial lockdown, if she sells a plate of her food for GH¢20 each,
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, note this parameters from the question.

We let x = number of $5 increases and number of 10 decreases in plates sold.

Our Revenue equation is:

R(x) = (300-10x)(10+5x)

We expand the above equation into a quadratic equation by multiplying each bracket:

R(x) = 3000 + 1500x - 3000x - 1500x^2

R(x) = -1500x^2 - 1500x + 3000 (collect like terms)

Next we simplify, by dividing through by -1500

= 1500x^2/1500 - 1500x/1500 + 3000/1500

= X^2 - x + 2

X^2 - x + 2 = 0

Next, we find the axis of symmetry using the formula x = -b/(2*a) where b = 1, a = 1

X = - (-1)/2*1

X = 1/2

Number of $5 increases = $5x1/2 = $2.5

=$2.5 + $20 = $22.5 ticket price gives max revenue.

An archway is modeled by the equation y = -2x2 + 8x. A rod is to be placed across the archway at an angle defined by the equatio
Nata [24]
1) y= - 2x² + 8x. It's a parabola open downward (a<0)  
2) x - 2.23.y + 10.34 = 0 . Re-write it : y = (x/2.23) + (10.34/2.23), a linear equation.
To find the intersections between 1) & 2), let 1) = 2)
-2x² + 8x = (x/2.23) + (10.34/2.23) 
-2x² + 8x - (x/2.23) - (10.34/2.23) =0 ; solve this quadratic for x values:

x' (that is A) = 0.772 & x" (that is B) = 3. (these are the values of x-intercept (parabola with line). To calculate the y-values, plug x' & x' in the equation:
for x' = 0.772, y = 0.34 → B(0.772 , 0.34)
for x" = 3, y = 0.016     → A(3 , 0.O16)
So B IS AT 0.34 Unit from the ground
