The Sugar Sweet Company is going to transport its sugar to market. It will cost $7500 to rent trucks, and it will cost an additi

onal $125 for each ton of sugar transported.
Let C represent the total cost (in dollars), and let S represent the amount of sugar (in tons) transported. Write an equation relating C to S. Then use this equation to find the total cost to transport 14 tons of sugar.

The total cost will be $9250 to transport 14 tons of sugar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost to rent trucks = $7500

Cost per ton = $125

C = Total cost in dollars

S = Amount of sugar in tons

Total cost = Rent of trucks + Cost per ton * sugar in tons

$C=7500+125S\\$

The equation $C=7500+125S\\$ relates C to S.

Total cost for 14 tons.

S = 14

Putting in equation;

$C=7500+125(14)\\C=7500+1750\\C=9250$

The total cost will be $9250 to transport 14 tons of sugar.

A parallelogram has sides 10m and 12m and an angle of 45°. Find the distance between the 12m-sides.

stich3 [128]

Answer:

The distance between 12m-sides is $5\sqrt{2}m$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the parallelogram has sides 10m and 12m and an angle of 45°.

Draw an altitude from one 12m side to another 12 m side as shown in below figure.

The opposite angles of parallelogram are same. Two angles are obtuse angles and two are acute angle.

Since angle C is acute angle therefore it must be 45 degree.

$\sin\theta=\frac{perpendicular}{hypotenuse}$

$\sin C=\frac{BE}{BC}$

$\sin(45^{\circ})=\frac{d}{10}$

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{d}{10}$

$\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}=d$

$\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}\times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}=d$

$\frac{10\sqrt{2}}{2}=d$

$5\sqrt{2}=d$

Therefore the distance between 12m-sides is $5\sqrt{2}m$ .

Find a cubic function with the given zeros.

Fed [463]

Answer:

The correct option is D) $f(x) = x^3 + 2x^2 - 2x - 4$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided cubic function.

We need to find the equation having zeros: Square root of two, negative Square root of two, and -2.

A "zero" of a given function is an input value that produces an output of 0.

Substitute the value of zeros in the provided options to check.

Substitute x=-2 in $f(x) = x^3 + 2x^2 - 2x + 4$ .

$f(x) = x^3 + 2x^2 - 2x + 4\\f(x) = (-2)^3 + 2(-2)^2 - 2(-2) + 4\\f(x) =-8 + 2(4)+4 + 4\\f(x) =8$

Therefore, the option is incorrect.

Substitute x=-2 in $f(x) = x^3 + 2x^2 + 2x - 4$ .

$f(x) = x^3 + 2x^2 + 2x - 4\\f(x) = (-2)^3 + 2(-2)^2 + 2(-2) - 4\\f(x) =-8+2(4)-4-4\\f(x) =-8$

Therefore, the option is incorrect.

Substitute x=-2 in $f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 - 2x - 4$ .

$f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 - 2x - 4\\f(x) = (-2)^3 - 2(-2)^2 - 2(-2) - 4\\f(x) =-8-8+4-4\\f(x) =-16$

Therefore, the option is incorrect.

Substitute x=-2 in $f(x) = x^3 + 2x^2 - 2x - 4$ .

$f(x) = x^3 + 2x^2 - 2x - 4\\f(x) = (-2)^3+2(-2)^2 - 2(-2) - 4\\f(x) =-8+8+4-4\\f(x) =0$

Now check for other roots as well.

Substitute x=√2 in $f(x) = x^3 + 2x^2 - 2x - 4$ .

$f(x) = x^3 + 2x^2 - 2x - 4\\f(x) = (\sqrt{2})^3+2(\sqrt{2})^2 - 2(\sqrt{2}) - 4\\f(x) =2\sqrt{2}+4-2\sqrt{2}-4\\f(x) =0$

Substitute x=-√2 in $f(x) = x^3 + 2x^2 - 2x - 4$ .

$f(x) = x^3 + 2x^2 - 2x - 4\\f(x) = (-\sqrt{2})^3+2(-\sqrt{2})^2 - 2(-\sqrt{2}) - 4\\f(x) =-2\sqrt{2}+4+2\sqrt{2}-4\\f(x) =0$

Therefore, the option is correct.
