Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Danny buys 4 pizzas and some pretzels for his baseball team.

The cost of each pizza is $8.99

Total cost of 4 pizza = 4 × 8.99

= $35.96

Let buy p numbers of pretzels whose cost $0.99 each.

Total cost for p pretzels = 0.99p

Total spend by Danny on pizzas and pretzels = $50.81

35.96 + 0.99p = 50.81

0.99p = 50.81 - 35.96

0.99p = 14.85

p = 15

Hence, Danny bought 15 pretzels for baseball team.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: The answer to your question is 15 pretzels.To figure this out, you first multiply 8.99 by 4 since he did buy 4 pizzas and each pizza is 8.99. Then once you do that, you should come up with 35.96. Then subtract 50.81 from 35.96,which should give you 14.85. Then just divide 14.85 by 0.99 to figure out the amount of pretzels he bought.It should give you 15.Hope this helps!!!!

A parabola has vertex (2, 3) and contains the point (0, 0). find an equation that represents this parabola.

AfilCa [17]

First write it in vertex form :-

y= a(x - 2)^2 + 3 where a is some constant.

We can find the value of a by substituting the point (0.0) into the equation:-

0 = a((-2)^2 + 3

4a = -3

a = -3/4

so our equation becomes y = (-3/4)(x - 2)^2 + 3

Find three positive numbers whose sum is 140 and whose product is a maximum. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

$\frac{140}{3}, \frac{140}{3}, \frac{140}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be $x, y\ and\ z.$

Such that:

$x + y + z = 140$

Make z the subject

$z = 140 -x - y$

For their product to be maximum, we have:

$f(x,y,z) = xyz$

Substitute $z = 140 -x - y$ in $f(x,y,z) = xyz$

$f(x,y) = xy(140 - x - y)$

Open bracket

$f(x,y) = 140xy - x^2y - xy^2$

Differentiate w.r.t x and y

$f_x=140y - 2xy - y^2$

$f_y=140x - x^2 - 2xy$

Since the products are maximum, then $f_x = f_y = 0$

For $f_x=140y - 2xy - y^2$

$140y - 2xy - y^2 = 0$

Factorize:

$y(140 - 2x - y) = 0$

Split

$y = 0\ or\ 140 - 2x - y = 0$

Make y the subject

$y = 0\ or\ y = 140 - 2x$

For $f_y=140x - x^2 - 2xy$

$140x - x^2 - 2xy = 0$

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

Substitute y = 0

$140x - x^2 -2x*0 = 0$

$140x - x^2 = 0$

Factorize

$x(140 - x)= 0$

$x = 0\ or\ 140-x = 0$

$x = 0\ or\ x = 140$

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

Substitute $y = 140 - 2x$

$140x - x^2 - 2xy = 0$

$140x - x^2 - 2x(140 - 2x) = 0$

$140x - x^2 - 280x + 4x^2 = 0$

Re-arrange

$4x^2 -x^2 +140x - 280x = 0$

$3x^2 -140x = 0$

Factor x out

$x(3x - 140) = 0$

Divide through by x

$3x - 140 = 0$

$3x = 140$

$x = \frac{140}{3}$

Recall that: $y = 140 - 2x$

$y = 140 - 2 * \frac{140}{3}$

$y = 140 - \frac{280}{3}$

Take LCM

$y = \frac{140*3-280}{3}$

$y = \frac{140}{3}$

Recall that:

$z = 140 -x - y$

$z = 140 - \frac{140}{3} - \frac{140}{3}$

Take LCM

$z = \frac{3 * 140- 140 - 140}{3}$

$z = \frac{140}{3}$

Hence, the numbers are:

$\frac{140}{3}, \frac{140}{3}, \frac{140}{3}$
