\bf 1~~,~~\stackrel{-3\cdot 1}{-3}~~,~~\stackrel{-3\cdot -3}{9}~~,~~\stackrel{-3\cdot 9}{-27}~~,~~\stackrel{-3\cdot -27}{81}

notice, the "common ratio" is -3, thus their sum is just

1 + (-3) + 9 + (-27) + 81.

For the hypotenuses to be able to lie on the same line:

The tan of angle in both should be the same. That is the two triangles should be similar.

For the first triangle  tanθ  = 4/10 = 2/5

For the second triangle,  tanθ  = 12/30 = 6/15 = 2/5

Since both angles in the triangle are the same, hence, the hypotenuses of the two triangles could lie along the same line.

Suppose a shoe factory produces both low-grade and high-grade shoes. The factory produces at least twice as many low-grade as hi
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The factory should produce 166 pairs of high-grade shoes and 364 pairs of low-grade shoes for maximum profit

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters for the shoe production are;

The number of low grade shoes the factory produces ≥ 2 × The number of high-grade shoes produced by the factory

The maximum number of shoes the factory can produce = 500 pairs of shoes

The number of high-grade shoes the dealer calls for daily ≥ 100 pairs

The profit made per pair of high-grade shoed = Birr 2.00

The profit made per of low-grade shoes = Birr 1.00

Let 'H', represent the number of high grade shoes the factory produces and let 'L' represent he number of low-grade shoes the factory produces, we have;

L ≥ 2·H...(1)

L + H ≤ 500...(2)

H ≥ 100...(3)

Total profit, P = 2·H + L

From inequalities (1) and (2), we have;

3·H ≤ 500

H ≤ 500/3 ≈ 166

The maximum number of high-grade shoes that can be produced, H ≤ 166

Therefore, for maximum profit, the factory should produce the maximum number of high-grade shoe pairs, H = 166 pairs

The number of pairs of low grade shoes the factory should produce, L = 500 - 166 = 334 pairs

The maximum profit, P = 2 × 166 + 1 × 364 = 696

Harper is working two summer jobs, making $19 per hour lifeguarding and making $8 per hour walking dogs. In a given week, she ca
ohaa [14]

Answer:

We know that:

She makes $19 per hour of lifeguarding.

She makes $8 per hour walking dogs.

She can work at most 7 hours per week.

She must earn a minimum of $80 per week.

If x represents the number of hours lifeguarding and y represents the number of hours walking dogs, the inequalities will be:

x + y ≥ 7 hours.

(this says that she can work at most 7 hours per week)

x*$19 + y*$8 ≥ $80

(this says that she can earn a minimum of $80)

Then the system of inequalities is:

x + y ≥ 7 hours.

x*$19 + y*$8 ≥ $80

To graph these two we can write them as lines in standard form and simply graph both inequalities, the solution of the system will be the intersection between the solutions of each inequality.

Here we also should add the inequalities:

x ≥ 0

y ≥ 0

So we only look at the first quadrant.

The graph can be seen in the image below: (the dark blue is the solution region for the first inequality, the light blue one is the solution region for the second inequality)

 

One possible solution can be:

x = 4 and y = 1

or

x = 4 and y = 2

and there are a lot of other possible solutions.
