Ms Harris has a taco stand. She has found that her daily costs are approximated by the following equation:

1 answer:

3 0

a. find the number of units of tacos she must sell to minimise her cost.
to find a minimum we need to find the function derivative and make it equal to zero:
dc/dx = 2x - 40 = 0
2x = 40
x = 20
therefore to minimize the cost, she needs to sell 20 units of tacos

b. find the minimum cost.
that can be done by substituting the previous result, 20 tacos, in the original equation:
C(x) = x^2 - 40x + 610
C(20) = (20)^2 - 40(20) + 610
= 400 - 800 + 610
= 210
the minimum cost will be 210 dollars

Angles U and V are supplementary angles. The ratio of their measures is 7:13 Find the measure of each angle

GREYUIT [131]

If $u$ and $v$ are supplementary angles, then

$u+v=180^{\circ}~~~~~\mathbf{(i)}$

The ratio of $u$ and $v$ is $\dfrac{7}{13}:$ 

$\dfrac{u}{v}=\dfrac{7}{13}\\\\\\ u=\dfrac{7v}{13}~~~~\mathbf{(ii)}$

Substitute $\mathbf{(ii)}$ into $\mathbf{(i)}:$

$\dfrac{7v}{13}+v=180^{\circ}\\\\\\ \left(\dfrac{7}{13}+1 \right )\cdot v=180^{\circ}\\\\\\ \left(\dfrac{7}{13}+\dfrac{13}{13} \right )\cdot v=180^{\circ}\\\\\\ \dfrac{20}{13}\cdot v=180^{\circ}\\\\\\ v=180^{\circ}\cdot \dfrac{13}{20}\\\\\\ \boxed{\begin{array}{c} v=117^{\circ} \end{array}}$

From $\mathbf{(i)},$ we find the measure of $u:$

$u=180^{\circ}-v\\\\ u=180^{\circ}-117^{\circ}\\\\ \boxed{\begin{array}{c} u=63^{\circ} \end{array}}$

How do you factor out the coefficient of 2.2x+4.4

NISA [10]

2.2x and 4.4 have a GCF of 2.2. So, you can factor that out like so:
2.2x+4.4 = 2.2*x+2.2*2 = 2.2(x+2)

Hope this helps!
