Galina-37 [17]3 years ago

Answer:

  length: 23 m; width: 11 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of its length and width, so that sum is 34 m. Then you can write two equations in length and width:

  l + w = 34

  l - w = 12

Adding these together gives you ...

  2l = 46

  l = 23 . . . . . . divide by 2

Then the width is

  w = 23 -12 = 11

The length and width are 23 m and 11 m, respectively.

Solve the equation using the quadratic formula. x^2-4x+3=0
almond37 [142]
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

x2−4x+3=0

Step 1: Factor left side of equation.

(x−1)(x−3)=0

Step 2: Set factors equal to 0.
x-1=0 or x-3=0

For this one add one on both sides
x−1+1=0+1 x=1
For this one add 3 on both sides
x−3+3=0+3. x=3

x=1 or x=3

The unit cost, in dollars, to produce tubs of ice cream is $18 and the fixed cost is $11610. The price-demand function, in dolla
Trava [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of tubs of ice cream that was produced.

The unit cost, in dollars, to produce tubs of ice cream is $18 and the fixed cost is $11610. This means that the total cost of producing x tubs of ice cream would be

C(x) = 18x + 11610

The price-demand function, in dollars per tub, is p(x)=374-2x.

The revenue function is product of the output by the price function

R(x) = x × p(x) = xp(x)

R(x) = x(374 - 2x) = 374x - 2x²

The profit function P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

Therefore,

P(x) = 374x - 2x² - (18x + 11610)

P(x) = 374x - 2x² - 18x - 11610

P(x) = - 2x² + 374x - 18x - 11610

P(x) = - 2x² + 356x - 11610

At the break even point,

Revenue = total cost.

Therefore,

374x - 2x² = 18x + 11610

2x² + 18x - 374x + 11610 = 0

2x² - 356x + 11610 = 0

Dividing through by 2, it becomes

x² - 178x + 5805 = 0

Applying the general formula for quadratic equations,

x = [- b ±√(b² - 4ac)]/2a

x = [- - 178 ±√(-178² - 4 × 1 × 5805)]/2 × 1

x = [178 ±√(31684 - 23220)]/2

x = [178 ±92]/2

x = (178 + 92)/2 or (178 - 92)/2

x = 135 or x = 43

Therefore, the quantity for the smallest break-even point is 43.

Alexander says that 3x + 4y is equivalent to (3)(4) + xy because of any order, any grouping. Is he correct why or why not
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Alexander is incorrect because the expressions are not equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the expression is evaluated for any value of x, y; the result will not be same.

For instance, let assume x = 1 and y = 2

3x + 4y = 3 + 4 = 7

(3)(4) + xy = (3)(4) + (1 * 2) = 12 + 2 = 14

So, the expressions are not the same and Alexander is incorrect.
