Find the total cost of producing 5 widgets. Widget Wonders produces widgets. They have found that the cost, c(x), of making x widgets is a quadratic function in terms of x. The company also discovered that it costs $15.50 to produce 3 widgets, $23.50 to produce 7 widgets, and $56 to produce 12 widgets.
OK...so we have
a(7)^2 + b(7) + c = 23.50 → 49a + 7b + c = 23.50 (1)
a(3)^2 + b(3) + c = 15.50 → 9a + 3b + c = 15.50 subtracting the second equation from the first, we have
40a + 4b = 8 → 10a + b = 2 (2)
Also
a(12)^2 + b(12) + c = 56 → 144a + 12b + c = 56 and subtracting (1) from this gives us
95a + 5b = 32.50
And using(2) we have
95a + 5b = 32.50 (3)
10a + b = 2.00 multiplying the second equation by -5 and adding this to (3) ,we have
45a = 22.50 divide both sides by 45 and a = 1/2 and using (2) to find b, we have
10(1/2) + b = 2
5 + b = 2 b = -3
And we can use 9a + 3b + c = 15.50 to find "c"
9(1/2) + 3(-3) + c = 15.50
9/2 - 9 + c = 15.50
-4.5 + c = 15.50
c = 20
So our function is
c(x) = (1/2)x^2 - (3)x + 20
And the cost to produce 5 widgets is = $17.50
<span>2 Li(s) + O2(g) = 2 LiO is the balanced equation</span>
The answer is <span>2(–4y + 13) – 3y = –29
Step 1: Express </span><span>x from the second equation
Step 2: Substitute x into the first equation:
The system of equations is:
</span><span>2x – 3y = –29
x + 4y = 13
Step 1:
</span>The second equation is: x + 4y = 13
Rearrange it to get x: x = - 4y + 13
Step 2:
The first equation is: 2x – 3y = –29
The second equation is: x = - 4y + 13
Substitute x from the second equation into the first one:
2(-4y + 13) - 3y = -29
Therefore, the second choice is correct.
Answer:
slope is the rate at which a function progresses. y intercept a point that passes through they x axis when it is 0. ex) (0,9)
equation written as y=ax +b
b = y intercept
ax = slope
ax = y2-y1/x2-x1
take 2 random points
(0,3) (-2,0)
slope : 0-3/-2=0 = -3/-2 = 3/2
y intercept = 3 because x = 0 and y =3
<u>equation = y =3/2x + 3</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
X is 0, so it cancels out the 7. So then 3 divided by 30 is 10. Y=10.
