Answer:

So the unit price of the trail - mix is $4.80 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Sam paid $3.60 for 3/4 pound of his favorite trail-mix.

What it means is that said paid for 3/4 = 0.75 of a pound for $3.60

So let's determine how much he could have paid for a complete pound

$3.60= 0.75 pound

X= 1 pound

$X*0.75 pound= $3.60*1 pound

$x= ($3.60*1 pound)/0.75 pound

$x=$3.60/0.75

$x= $4.80

So the unit price of the trail - mix is $4.80 per pound

There are 6 minutes of commercials for every 24 minutes of television. How many minutes of commercials are there in 1 hour and 3

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

$16\ minutes$

Step-by-step explanation:

For every $24\ minutes$ of television time of commercials = $6\ minutes$

% of commercials $\=frac{6}{24}\times 100=25\%$

Now when time of television $=1\ hour\ 36\ minutes=60+36=96\ minutes$

$25 \%\ of 96=\frac{25}{100}\times 96=\frac{96}{4}=16\ minutes$

The curved surface area of a right circular cylinder of height 14 cm is 88 cm².

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The diameter of the base of the cylinder is 2 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN :

As per given question we have provided that :

➣ Height of cylinder = 14 cm
➣ Curved surface area = 88 cm²

$\begin{gathered}\end{gathered}$

TO FIND :

in the provided question we need to find :

➠ Radius of cylinder
➠ Diameter of cylinder

$\begin{gathered}\end{gathered}$

USING FORMULAS :

$\star{\underline{\boxed{\sf{\purple{Csa = 2 \pi rh}}}}}$

$\star{\underline{\boxed{\sf{\purple{d = 2r}}}}}$

➛ Csa = Curved surface area
➛ π = 22/7
➛ r = radius
➛ h = height
➛ d = diameter

$\begin{gathered}\end{gathered}$

SOLUTION :

Firstly, finding the radius of cylinder by substituting the values in the formula :

$\begin{gathered} \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{Csa = 2 \pi rh}}} \\ \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{88 = 2 \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times r \times 14}}} \\ \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{88 =\dfrac{44}{7} \times r \times 14}}} \\ \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{88 =\dfrac{44}{\cancel{7}}\times r \times \cancel{ 14}}}} \\ \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{88 =44 \times r \times 2}}} \\ \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{88 =88 \times r}}} \\ \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{r = \frac{88}{88}}}} \\ \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\underline{\underline{\sf{\pink{r = 1 \: cm}}}}}} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the radius of cylinder is 1 cm.

———————————————————————

Now, finding the diameter of cylinder by substituting the values in the formula :

$\begin{gathered} \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{d = 2r}}} \\ \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{d = 2 \times 1}}} \\ \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\underline{\underline{\sf{\red{r = 2 \: cm}}}}}}\end{gathered}$

Hence, the diameter of the base of the cylinder is 2 cm.

Thank you for anyone who knows this

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Part (a) Vertex = (-3, -1)
Part (b) Vertex = (4, 5)
Part (c) function 2; max value = 5

=====================================================

Explanations:

Part (a)

In this case, the vertex is the highest point, so the vertex of function 1 is (-3, -1)

If the parabola was flipped so that it opened upward, instead of downward, then the vertex would be the lowest point.

----------------------------

Part (b)

We could graph this function to see where the highest or lowest point is, but there's another way we could find the vertex using algebra.

The given equation is in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c where in this case

a = -2
b = 16
c = -27

The a and b values are plugged into the formula below to get

h = -b/(2a)

h = -16/(2*(-2))

h = -16/(-4)

h = 4

This is the x coordinate the vertex since the vertex is (h,k)

To find k, we plug that value of h into the original function to find its corresponding y value.

y = -2x^2 + 16x - 27

y = -2(4)^2 + 16(4) - 27

y = -2(16) + 16(4) - 27

y = -32 + 64 - 27

y = 5

We found that h = 4 leads to k = 5. The vertex is (h,k) = (4, 5)

----------------------------

Part (c)

We'll compare the y values of each vertex

Function 1 has a vertex of (-3, 1)
Function 2 has a vertex of (4, 5)

The vertex with the larger y value is the winner, so that would be function 2. This parabola reaches a higher peak compared to the other curve.

The max value here is y = 5. In other words, it's the maximum output the function can produce.

If you graphed functions 1 and 2 together on the same xy grid (see below), you'll see that the curve for function 2 reaches a higher peak.
