Answer:
A)$ 45
B) $105
Step-by-step explanation:
Bag and a belt cost $255
Let bag = x
Let belt = y
X+y= 255 equation 1
Let total money be z first
Remaining money= z-255
X-30 = z-255
Y +15 = z-255
Equating the left side of the equation
X+30 = y+15
X-y= 45 equation 2
Solving simultaneously
X+y= 255
X-y= 45
2x = 300
X= 150
If x= 150
150-y= 45
150-45= y
105=y
Bag = $150
Belt = $105
Bag Is 150-105 more than the belt
150-105= $45
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Since P is at the midpoint of HR, then
HP = PR ← substitute values
7x + 2 = 58 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
7x = 56 ( divide both sides by 7 )
x = 8
Answer: a) c(x) = 0.124x + 1.1, b) 13 units
Step-by-step explanation: Revenue function = R(x) = 0.21x
Profit function = p(x) = 0.086 - 1.1
Cost function = c(x) =?
A)
Recall that profit = total revenue - total cost
Hence, total cost = total revenue - profit
c(x) = 0.21x - (0.086x - 1.1)
c(x) = 0.21x - 0.086x + 1.1
c(x) = 0.124x + 1.1
B)
Break even point is the point where total revenue equals total cost
R(x) = c(x)
0.21x = 0.124x + 1.1
0.21x - 0.124x = 1.1
0.086x = 1.1
x = 1.1/0.086
x = 12.79 which is approximately 13 units
Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation:
These are two questions and two answers:
Question 1:
<span>A
quadratic equation is shown below: 3x^2 − 15x + 20 = 0 Part A: Describe
the solution(s) to the equation by just determining the radicand. Show
your work.
Answer: </span><span>The negative value of the radicand means that the equation does not have real solutions.
Explanation:
1) With radicand the statement means the disciminant of the quadratic function.
2) The discriminant is: b² - 4ac, where a, b, and c are the coefficients of the quadratic equation: ax² + bx + c
3) Then, for 3x² - 15x + 20, a = 3, b = - 15, and c = 20
and the discriminant (radicand) is: (-15)² - 4(3)(20) = 225 - 240 = - 15.
4) The negative value of the radicand means that the equation does not have real solutions.
Question 2:
Part B: Solve 3x^2 + 5x − 8 = 0 by using an appropriate
method. Show the steps of your work, and explain why you chose the
method used.
Answer: </span> two solutions x = 1 and x = - 8/3x
Explanation:
1) I choose factoring (you may use the quadratic formula if you prefer)
2) Factoring
Given: 3x² + 5x − 8 = 0
Make 5x = 8x - 3x: 3x² + 8x - 3x - 8 = 0
Group: (3x² - 3x) + (8x - 8) = 0
Common factors for each group: 3x(x -1) + 8(x - 1) = 0
Coomon factor x - 1: (x - 1) (3x + 8) = 0
The two solutions are for each factor equal to zero:
x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
3x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = -8/3
Those are the two solutions. x = 1 and x = - 8/3
