Answer: 1:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The cost of every mirror is proportional to the cube of the mirror's radius.

i.e. \dfrac{\text{Cost of smallest mirror}}{\text{Cost of largest mirror}}=\dfrac{(\text{radii of smallest mirror}^3)}{\text{(radii of largest mirror)}^3}

Their largest mirrors have radii of 5 meters and their smallest mirrors have radii of 1 meter.

Then,

\dfrac{\text{Cost of smallest mirror}}{\text{Cost of  largest mirror}}=\dfrac{1^3}{(5)^3}=\dfrac{1}{125}

The ratio of the total cost of 25 of the company's smallest mirrors to the cost of one of the company's largest mirrors will be:

\dfrac{\text{Cost of 25 smallest mirror}}{\text{Cost of largest mirror}}=\dfrac{25\times 1}{125}=\dfrac{1}{5}

Hence, the ratio of the total cost of 25 of the company's smallest mirrors to the cost of one of the company's largest mirrors = 1:5 .

A company has fixed operating costs of $2,137.00 per month with a production cost of $15.15 per unit. If each unit brings $33.09
vampirchik [111]
Y=2,137.00-(15.15*X)+(33.09*X)

Its simple arithmetic when you get down to it. The $2,137 won't change because it is the base rate per month, meaning even if they don't make any units they will still earn that much in the month. You subtract from that the cost to make a unit, in this case it is $15.15 per unit, so you multiply the cost by number of units to get the month's total costs. Then add the total month's profits by multiplying the number of units by the profits of one unit.

What is the result of substituting for yin the bottom equation? y=x+3 y= x^2 + 2x - 4​
marta [7]

Answer:

  x +3 = x^2 +2x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Straight substitution of the top expression for y gives you ...

  x +3 = x^2 +2x -4

__

This lets you rewrite the equation to standard form as ...

  x^2 +x -7 = 0

and find the solutions to be ...

  x = (-1±√29)/2

Corresponding y-values will be 3 more than this:

  y = (5±√29)/2
