Answer:

$14,600

Step-by-step explanation:

The function P(a) = 25,000a - 1000 gives the amount of potatoes, P, in kilograms, that he expects to produce from planting potatoes on a acres of land.

If Ben plants on 3 acres of land, then the amount of potatoes expected will be:

P(3) = 25,000(3) - 1000 =74,000kg

The amount of money, M, in dollars, that Ben expects to make if he produces p kilograms of potatoes is given by the function:

M(p) = 0.2p - 200

Since Ben produces 74000kg on 3 acres, the amount of money he is expected to make is then:

M(74000) = 0.2(74000) - 200

=$14,600

Ben will make $14,600 if he sells all of the potatoes produced on the 3 acres.

Directions: Using the digits 1 to 9, at most one time each, fill in the boxes to find the largest or smallest possible values fo

12345 [234]

Answer:

smallest: 8x -3 = 4; 1y +9 = 2. total = -49/8

largest: 1x -9 = 8; 2y +3 = 7. total = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

If we use variables to represent the box contents, we can write ...

ax -b = c
dy +e = f

Then the values of x and y are ...

x = (c +b)/a

y = (f -e)/d

For positive integer values of the variables, x will always be positive, and y may or may not be negative.

<h3>Smallest sum</h3>

For the sum to be the smallest, we must have x be as small as possible and the ratio (f-e)/d be as negative as possible.

x will be small for large 'a' and for (c+b) small. For y to be as negative as possible, we want 'd' and 'f' small and 'e' large. Best results are obtained for

8x -3 = 4 ⇒ x = 7/8
1y +9 = 2 ⇒ y = -7

For these coefficients, the sum is -6 1/8 = -49/8.

(note that the values of 'b' and 'c' can be swapped with no net effect)

<h3>Largest sum</h3>

For the sum to be the largest, we must have x as large as possible: (b+c) large and 'a' small. At the same time we must have y be positive and as large as possible: (f-e) positive and large, 'd' small. Best results are obtained for

1x -9 = 8 ⇒ x = 17
2y +3 = 7 ⇒ y = 2

For these coefficients, the sum is 19. Again, 'b' and 'c' can be swapped with no effect.

Additional comment

These extreme values are verified by examination of the 60,480 possible permutations of the coefficients.

Suppose we have a right triangle with legs of length a and b and hypotenuse of length c. Suppose b=3 and c=5. Then a= , For the

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Length of right-angle triangle 'a' = 4

$sin(A) = \frac{opposite side}{Hypotenuse} = \frac{a}{c} = \frac{4}{5}$

$cos(A) = \frac{Adjacent side}{Hypotenuse} = \frac{b}{c} = \frac{3}{5}$

$tan(A) = \frac{opposite side}{Adjacent side} = \frac{a}{b} = \frac{4}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given b = 3 and hypotenuse c = 5

Given ΔABC is a right angle triangle

By using pythagoras theorem

c² = a² + b²

⇒ a² = c² - b²

⇒ a² = 5²-3²

=25 - 9

a² = 16

⇒ a = √16 = 4

The sides of right angle triangle a = 4 ,b = 3 and c = 5

Step(ii):-

$sin(A) = \frac{opposite side}{Hypotenuse} = \frac{a}{c} = \frac{4}{5}$

$cos(A) = \frac{Adjacent side}{Hypotenuse} = \frac{b}{c} = \frac{3}{5}$

$tan(A) = \frac{opposite side}{Adjacent side} = \frac{a}{b} = \frac{4}{3}$

A company paid $72 for 2 cases of printer paper each case contained 12 packages of paper next month the company's office manager

Tems11 [23]

To figure out the cost for 180 packages, you must first calculate how many packages they bought for $72. Since each case holds 12 packages, for $72, the company bought 24 packages (12×2). Then you have to divide 24 into 180 to figure out the cost for those 180 packages and get 7.5. To get the cost of the 180 packages, you must multiply 7.5 (the number of 24 packages that go into 180) by 72 (the cost of one group of 24 packages). You then get 540. The company must pay $540 for the 180 packages.

I don’t know how to do any of this

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The length of x in #1 is 15.57

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use #1 as an example to teach show you how to do this. In a right triangle we can solve these using trig. In this particular one, we have the measure adjacent to the angle and we are looking for the one opposite of the angle. So we look at all the trig functions and select the one that uses both of those two terms.

Sinα = Opp/Hyp

Tanα = Opp/Adj

Cosα = Adj/Hyp

As you can see, Tan is the function we are looking for. So we plug in all known information into that equation.

Tanα = Opp/Adj -----> Plug in known values

Tan(60) = x/9 ----->Calculate out the trig function

1.73 = x/9 -----> Multiply by the denominator to solve

15.57 = x
