A small publishing company is planning to publish a new book. The production costs include one time fixed costs and variable cos

ts. There are two production methods it could use. With one method, the one time fixed costs will total $18,673, and the variable costs will be $18.50 per book. With the other method, the one time fixed costs will total $43,969, and the variable costs will be $10 per book. For how many books produced will the costs from the two methods be the same ?

Answer:

2976 books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let books produced be x

Cost of First Method:

18,673 + 18.5x

Cost of Second Method:

43,969 + 10x

We equate both the cost expressions and find the value of x (the number of books for which costs are EQUAL):

18,673 + 18.5x = 43,969 + 10x

18.5x - 10x = 43,969 - 18,673

8.5x = 25,296

x = 25,296/8.5

x = 2,976

So for 2976 books produced, the two method's cost will be same

QUESTION 33

The length of the legs of the right triangle are given as,

6 centimeters and 8 centimeters.

The length of the hypotenuse can be found using the Pythagoras Theorem.

${h}^{2} = {6}^{2} + {8}^{2}$

${h}^{2} = 36+ 64$

${h}^{2} = 100$

$h = \sqrt{100}$

$h = 10cm$

Answer: C

QUESTION 34

The triangle has a hypotenuse of length, 55 inches and a leg of 33 inches.

The length of the other leg can be found using the Pythagoras Theorem,

${l}^{2} + {33}^{2} = {55}^{2}$

${l}^{2} = {55}^{2} - {33}^{2}$

${l}^{2} = 1936$

$l = \sqrt{1936}$

$l = 44cm$

Answer:B

QUESTION 35.

We want to find the distance between,

(2,-1) and (-1,3).

Recall the distance formula,

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Substitute the values to get,

$d=\sqrt{( - 1-2)^2+(3- - 1)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{( - 3)^2+(4)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{9+16}$

$d=\sqrt{25}$

$d = 5$

Answer: 5 units.

QUESTION 36

We want to find the distance between,

(2,2) and (-3,-3).

We use the distance formula again,

$d=\sqrt{( - 3-2)^2+( - 3- 2)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{( - 5)^2+( - 5)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{25+25}$

$d=\sqrt{50}$

$d=5\sqrt{2}$
