Mathematics
1 answer:
Goryan [66]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

-5/2 a + 5 = 25

Subtract 5 from each side

-5/2 a + 5-5 = 25-5

-5/2 a = 20

Multiply each side by -2/5

-2/5 *-5/2 a = 20*-2/5

a = -8

A company will make a cereal box with whole number dimensions and a volume of 100 cubic centimeters. if carboard cost $0.05 per
Lelu [443]
Possible dimension of a box with a volume of 100 cubic cm
10 x 10 x 1 = 100
10 x 5 x 2 = 100
5 x 5 x 4 = 100

Surface area:
10 x 10 x 1 dimensions: 
10 x 10 = 100 x 2 = 200 sq.cm
10 x 1 = 10 x 4 = 40 sq. cm
240 sq. cm * $0.05 / 100 sq.cm = $0.12 per box
0.12 per box * 100 boxes = $12

10 x 5 x 2 dimension
10 x 5 = 50 x 2 = 100 sq. cm
10 x 2 = 20 x 2 = 40 sq. cm
5 x 2 = 10 x 2 = 20 sq. cm
160 sq. cm * $0.05/100 sq. cm = $0. 08 per box
0.08 per box * 100 boxes = $8

5 x 5 x 4 dimension
5 x 5 = 25 x 2 = 50 sq. cm
5 x 4 = 20 x 4 = 80 sq. cm
130 sq. cm * $0.05/100 sq. cm = $0.065 per box
0.065 per box * 100 boxes = $6.50

The best dimension to use to have the least cost to make 100 boxes is 5 x 5 x 4. It only costs $6.50 to make 100 boxes.

What are the roots of the function y = 4x2 + 2x – 30? To find the roots of the function, set y = 0. The equation is 0 = 4x2 + 2x
nasty-shy [4]
4x² + 2x - 30 = 0
<span>
factor out the GCF:
</span>2(2x² + x - 15) = 0
<span>
factor the trinomial completely:
2x</span>² + x - 15 = 0
2x² + 6x - 5x - 15 = 0
2x(x + 3) - 5(x + 3) = 0
(2x - 5)(x + 3) = 0

<span>use the zero product property and set each factor equal to zero and solve:
2x - 5 = 0     or     x + 3 = 0
2x = 5                   x = -3
x = 2.5

</span><span>The roots of the function are x=-3,  x=2.5</span>
