An office manager reported that he spent $350 on gifts for employees. He said that $240 was spent on clothing with each man rece

iving a $20 T-shirt and each woman receiving a $40 sweatshirt. He said that $110 was spent on desk accessories with each man receiving a $5 calendar and each woman receiving a $15 stapler. If m equals the number of men and wequals the number of women, the system of equations that represents the expenses is as follows:
m+2w=12

m+3w=22

Solve the system, showing all steps, and then discuss the reasonableness of the answer.

Answer:

The correct answer is the solution of the system of equations are w = 10 and m = -8. The answer is not at all reasonable.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two system of equations are m + 2w = 12 and m + 3w = 22 where m and w represent the number of men and women working in an office.

We subtract both the sides with each other in order to solve the system of equation.

⇒ m + 3w - m - 2w = 22 - 12

⇒ w = 10.

⇒ m = -8.

The values of w and m are not reasonable at all. Since m and w represent the number of men and women in an office, they cannot be less than zero.

YOU YES YOU WILL BE MARKED AS BRAINLIST TO YHIS QUESTION!!✔
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

<em>16 -> 15/20 -> 0.65 -> -7/25</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Why?</u>

Most of the numbers in the set are rational where there is only ONE nature number which is 16 and it's the greatest. Comes after is 15/20 which equals .75 and it's obviously larger than 0.65 which will come after. The negative number is the smallest so it goes last :)

The position vector for a particle moving on a helix is
topjm [15]

Answer:

a) 25.15

b)

   x = 1

   y = t

   z = (4pi)^2 + t *(8pi) = 4pi(4pi + 2t)

c) (x,y) = (1, -2pi)

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

First lets calculate the velocity, that is, the derivative of c(t) with respect to t:

v(t) = (-sin(t), cos(t), 2t)

The velocity at t0=4pi is:

v(4pi) = (0, 1, 8pi)

And the speed will be:

s(4pi) = √(0^2+1^2+ (8pi)^2) = 25.15

b)

The tangent line to c(t) at t0 = 4pi has the parametric form:

(x,y,z) = c(4pi) + t*v(4pi)

Since

 c(4pi) = (1, 0, (4pi)^2)

The tangent curve has the following components:

x = 1

y = t

z = (4pi)^2 + t *(8pi) = 4pi(4pi + 2t)

c)

The intersection with the xy plane will occurr when z = 0

This happens at:

  t1 = -2pi

Therefore, the intersection will occur at:

(x,y) = (1, -2pi)

Two trains leave a town at the same time heading in opposite directions. One train is traveling 12 mph faster than the
klemol [59]

Answer:

I'm going to paint you a picture in words of what this looks like on paper.  We have a train leaving from a point on your paper heading straight west.  We have another train leaving from the same point on your paper heading straight east.  This is the "opposite directions" that your problem gives you.  

Now let's make a table:

                distance       =        rate      *       time

Train 1

Train 2

We will fill in this table from the info in the problem then refer back to our drawing.  It says that one train is traveling 12 mph faster than the other train.  We don't know how fast "the other train" is going, so let's call that rate r.  If the first train is travelin 12 mph faster, that rate is r + 12.  Let's put that into the table

              distance        =        rate        *        time

Train 1                                        r

Train 2                                    (r + 12)

Then it says "after 2 hours", so the time for both trains is 2 hours:

         

              distance        =        rate        *        time

Train 1                                        r           *          2

Train 2                                  (r + 12)       *          2

Since distance = rate * time, the distance (or length of the arrow pointing straight west) for Train 1 is 2r.  The distance (or length of the arrow pointing straight east) for Train 2 is 2(r + 12) which is 2r + 24.  The distance between them (which is also the length of the whole entire arrow) is 232.  Thus:

2r + 2r + 24 = 232 and

4r = 208 so

r = 52

This means that Train 1 is traveling 52 mph and Train 2 is traveling 12 miles per hour faster than that at 64 mph
