Sam and Avery are making small and large birdhouses for an upcoming craft show. They will sell the small birdhouses for $10 and

the large birdhouses for $15. They want to make as much money as possible. It takes Sam 3 hours to build the small houses and 5 hours to build the large ones. He only has 24 hours to work on them. Avery only has time to decorate 12 birdhouses of either size before the show. How many small and large birdhouses should they make? How much money will they make?

Answer:

<h2>They should make 8 small ones and 12 large ones.</h2><h2>$260 they will make in total.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

They want to make as much money as possible.

Small bird house gives them $10 and large birdhouse give them $15.

Avery has time to decorate 12 birdhouse of either size.

Hence, to maximize the earning, Avery should build 12 large ones.

Sam can make any of the combination below in 24 hours.

4 Large and 1 small bird house, which will make $4 \times 15 + 10 = 70$

3 Large and 3 small bird house, which will make $3 \times15 + 3 \times10 = 75$

2 Large and 4 small bird house, it will gain $2 \times15 + 4 \times10 = 70$

1 Large and 6 small bird house, it will make $1 \times15 + 6 \times10 = 75$

8 small bird house, which will gain $8\times10 = 80$

The profit will be maximize if Sam build 8 small bird houses.

Thus, they will make $80 + 12\times15 = 260$ .

Answer:

process: substitute the given point values into the 2-point form of the equation for a line

Step-by-step explanation:

There are more than a half-dozen different forms of the equation for a line. They are useful for different purposes. One of them is the "two-point form".

Using x as the independent variable, and y as the dependent variable, the equation can be written as ...

y -y1 = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)/(x -x1)

where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the two points.

__

Here, your two points are ...

(t, s) = (10, 337) and (30, 349)

Using s in place of y, and t in place of x, these two points go into the formula like this:

s -337 = (349 -337)/(30 -10)(t -10)

Simplifying the fraction, this is ...

s -337 = (12/20)(t -10)

And writing it as a decimal, we get ...

s -337 = 0.6(t -10)

_____

<em>Additional comments</em>

Adding y1 to both sides of the above form gives you ...

y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)/(x -x1) +y1

This is the form I usually prefer to use, because it can lead directly to slope-intercept form. For this problem, the form shown above gets you to the answer you're looking for.

__

This "two-point form" is an expansion of the "point-slope form", which is ...

y - k = m(x -h) . . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

where the equation for slope is ...

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

and (x1, y1) is used instead of (h, k).

(HURRY! I'M BEING TIMED)Write the partial fraction decomposition of the rational expression.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The partial fraction decomposition is $\frac{- 4 x^{2} + 13 x - 12}{\left(x + 1\right)^{2} \left(x + 2\right)}=\frac{50}{x + 1}+\frac{-29}{\left(x + 1\right)^{2}}+\frac{-54}{x + 2}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Partial-fraction decomposition is the process of starting with the simplified answer and taking it back apart, of "decomposing" the final expression into its initial polynomial fractions.

To find the partial fraction decomposition of $\frac{- 4 x^{2} + 13 x - 12}{\left(x + 1\right)^{2} \left(x + 2\right)}$ :

First, the form of the partial fraction decomposition is

$\frac{- 4 x^{2} + 13 x - 12}{\left(x + 1\right)^{2} \left(x + 2\right)}=\frac{A}{x + 1}+\frac{B}{\left(x + 1\right)^{2}}+\frac{C}{x + 2}$

Write the right-hand side as a single fraction:

$\frac{- 4 x^{2} + 13 x - 12}{\left(x + 1\right)^{2} \left(x + 2\right)}=\frac{\left(x + 1\right)^{2} C + \left(x + 1\right) \left(x + 2\right) A + \left(x + 2\right) B}{\left(x + 1\right)^{2} \left(x + 2\right)}$

The denominators are equal, so we require the equality of the numerators:

$- 4 x^{2} + 13 x - 12=\left(x + 1\right)^{2} C + \left(x + 1\right) \left(x + 2\right) A + \left(x + 2\right) B$

Expand the right-hand side:

$- 4 x^{2} + 13 x - 12=x^{2} A + x^{2} C + 3 x A + x B + 2 x C + 2 A + 2 B + C$

The coefficients near the like terms should be equal, so the following system is obtained:

$\begin{cases} A + C = -4\\3 A + B + 2 C = 13\\2 A + 2 B + C = -12 \end{cases}$

Solving this system, we get that $A=50, B=-29, C=-54$ .

Therefore,

$\frac{- 4 x^{2} + 13 x - 12}{\left(x + 1\right)^{2} \left(x + 2\right)}=\frac{50}{x + 1}+\frac{-29}{\left(x + 1\right)^{2}}+\frac{-54}{x + 2}$
