Draw two boxes. One much larger than another. Draw a line down the middle of the smaller box. This is Julian's brownie. Now, draw a line dividing the large box in half, and repeat this again and again until you get 8 equal pieces. This is Debbie's brownie. Shade in one section of Debbie's brownie and 1 section of Julian's brownie. This should show that \frac{1}{8} of a large brownie is greater than \frac{1}{2} of a small brownie.

Answer:

We can't compare the two quantities as the quantity were of different sizes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a statement as:

Debbie ate 1/8 of a large brownie. Julian ate 1/2 of a small brownie.

Then we are given that:

Julian says, "I ate more brownies than you because 1/2>1/8."

<em>" Julian mistake was that the brownies ate by both of them were of different size so we can't compare them though 1/2 >1/8 but we can compare them only when they were of the same type "</em>

This could also be shown with the help of a picture attach to the answer.

What is the length of the tangent line in the picture?
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent line has length "x + 8"

The secant line has length "x + 6 + 5", where

5 is the inner part

x + 6 is the outer part

Now,

the secant-tangent theorem tells us that square of the tangent line is equal to the outer segment of secant line multiplied by length of whole secant line.

So, we can say:

(x+8)^2 = (x+6)(x+6+5)

We can solve for x shown below:

(x+8)^2 = (x+6)(x+6+5)\\(x+8)^2=(x+6)(x+11)\\x^2+16x+64=x^2+17x+66\\17x-16x=64-66\\x=-2

The value of x is -2

Better Products, Inc., manufactures three products on two machines. In a typical week, 40 hours are available on each machine. T
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

z (max)  =  1250 $

x₁  = 25    x₂  =  0   x₃  =  25

Step-by-step explanation:

                                Profit $    mach. 1      mach. 2

Product 1     ( x₁ )       30             0.5              1

Product 2    ( x₂ )       50             2                  1

Product 3    ( x₃ )       20             0.75             0.5

Machinne 1 require  2 operators

Machine   2 require  1  operator

Amaximum of  100 hours of labor available

Then Objective Function:

z  =  30*x₁  +  50*x₂  +  20*x₃      to maximize

Constraints:

1.-Machine 1 hours available  40

In machine 1    L-H  we will need

0.5*x₁  +  2*x₂  + 0.75*x₃  ≤  40

2.-Machine 2   hours available  40

1*x₁  +  1*x₂   + 0.5*x₃   ≤  40

3.-Labor-hours available   100

Machine 1     2*( 0.5*x₁ +  2*x₂  +  0.75*x₃ )

Machine  2       x₁   +   x₂   +  0.5*x₃  

Total labor-hours   :  

2*x₁  +  5*x₂  +  2*x₃  ≤  100

4.- Production requirement:

x₁  ≤  0.5 *( x₁ +  x₂  +  x₃ )     or   0.5*x₁  -  0.5*x₂  -  0.5*x₃  ≤ 0

5.-Production requirement:

x₃  ≥  0,2 * ( x₁  +  x₂   +  x₃ )  or    -0.2*x₁  - 0.2*x₂ + 0.8*x₃   ≥  0

General constraints:

x₁  ≥   0       x₂    ≥   0       x₃     ≥   0           all integers

The model is:

z  =  30*x₁  +  50*x₂  +  20*x₃      to maximize

Subject to:

0.5*x₁  +  2*x₂  + 0.75*x₃  ≤  40

1*x₁  +  1*x₂   + 0.5*x₃       ≤  40

2*x₁  +  5*x₂  +  2*x₃        ≤  100

0.5*x₁  -  0.5*x₂  -  0.5*x₃  ≤ 0

-0.2*x₁  - 0.2*x₂ + 0.8*x₃   ≥  0

x₁  ≥   0       x₂    ≥   0       x₃     ≥   0           all integers

After 6 iterations with the help of the on-line solver AtomZmaths we find

z (max)  =  1250 $

x₁  = 25    x₂  =  0   x₃  =  25
