Answer:

You should make 150 quarts of Creamy Vanilla and 50 quarts of Continental Mocha.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by a system of equations.

The largest profit is going to earned when all the eggs and cups of cream in stock are used.

I am going to call x the number of quarts of Creamy Vanilla and y the number of quarts of Continental Mocha.

The problem states that each quart of Creamy Vanilla uses 2 eggs and each quart of Continental Mocha uses 1 egg. There are 350 eggs in stock, so:

2x + y = 350

Each quart of Creamy Vanilla uses 3 cups of cream, as does each quart of Continental Mocha. There are 600 cups of cream in stock.

So:

3x + 3y = 600 Simplifying by 3.

x + y = 200

We have the following system

1)2x + y = 350

2)x + y = 200

I am going to multiply 2) by (-1) and then add with 1), so i can eliminate y

1)2x + y = 350

2)-x - y = -200

2x - x + y - y = 350 - 200

x = 150

x + y = 200

y = 200 - 150 = 50

You should make 150 quarts of Creamy Vanilla and 50 quarts of Continental Mocha.

Supposef(0) = 2 and 2 ≤ f '(x) ≤ 7for all x in the interval [−5, 5]. determine the greatest and least possible values of f(2).le
IgorC [24]

If the slope of the function is 2, the amount it can change over the interval 0–2 is

... 2×2 = 4 units

If the slope is 7, the amount it can change over the interval 0–2 is

... 2×7 = 14 units


The least possible value of f(2) is 2+4 = 6.

The greatest possible value of f(2) is 2+14 = 16.

Multiply 3/7 by the reciprocal of -3/14​
Alexandra [31]

Multiplying 3/7 by the reciprocal of -3/14,

\frac{3}{7} \times  \frac{14}{ - 3} \\  =  \frac{1}{1} \times  \frac{2}{ - 1} \\  =  \frac{2}{ - 1} \\  =  - 2

Hope it helps!!
