A science test, which is worth 100 points, consists of 24 questions. Each question is worth either 3 points or 5 points. If x is

the number of 3-point questions and y is the number of 5-point questions, the system shown represents this situation. x + y = 24 3x + 5y = 100 What does the solution of this system indicate about the questions on the test? The test contains 4 three-point questions and 20 five-point questions. The test contains 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions. The test contains 14 three-point questions and 10 five-point questions. The test contains 20 three-point questions and 8 five-point questions.

X+y=24 so we can say

x=24-y making 3x+5y=100 become

3(24-y)+5y=100

72-3y+5y=100

72+2y=100

2y=28

y=14, since x=24-y

x=10

So there are 10 3-point questions and 14 5-point questions.

Answer:

The test contains 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that A science test, which is worth 100 points, consists of 24 questions. Each question is worth either 3 points or 5 points

System of equations: x+y=24  --a

                                   3x+5y=100 --b

Where x denotes x is the number of 3-point questions and y is the number of 5-point questions

Now solve equation a and b by substitution method

Substitute the value of x from a in b

⇒3(24-y)+5y=100

⇒72-3y+5y=100

⇒72+2y=100

⇒2y=28

⇒y=\frac{28}{2}

⇒y=14

Substitute the value of y in equation a to get the value of x

x+14=24

x=10

Thus 10 is the number of 3-point questions.

14  is the number of 5-point questions.

Thus Option 2 is correct.

The test contains 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

x = f ( p ) = \frac { 100 } { 9 } \sqrt { 810,000 - p ^ { 2 } } } \\\\ \qquad { p ( t ) = \dfrac { 400 } { 1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt { t } } + 200 \quad ( 0 \leq t \leq 60 ) }

Answer:

12.0 tablet computers/month

Step-by-step explanation:

The average price of the tablet 25 months from now will be:

p ( 25) = \dfrac { 400 } { 1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt { 25 } } + 200 \\= \dfrac { 400 } { 1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \times 5 } + 200\\\\=\dfrac { 400 } { 1 + \dfrac { 5 } { 8 } } + 200\\p(25)=\dfrac { 5800 } {13}

Next, we determine the rate at which the quantity demanded changes with respect to time.

Using Chain Rule (and a calculator)

\dfrac{dx}{dt}= \dfrac{dx}{dp}\dfrac{dp}{dt}

\dfrac{dx}{dp}= \dfrac{d}{dp}\left[{ \dfrac { 100 } { 9 } \sqrt { 810,000 - p ^ { 2 } } }\right] =-\dfrac{100}{9}p(810,000-p^2)^{-1/2}

\dfrac{dp}{dt}=\dfrac{d}{dt}\left[\dfrac { 400 } { 1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt { t } } + 200 \right]=-25\left[1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt { t } \right]^{-2}t^{-1/2}

Therefore:

\dfrac{dx}{dt}= \left[-\dfrac{100}{9}p(810,000-p^2)^{-1/2}\right]\left[-25\left[1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt { t } \right]^{-2}t^{-1/2}\right]

Recall that at t=25, p(25)=\dfrac { 5800 } {13} \approx 446.15

Therefore:

\dfrac{dx}{dt}(25)= \left[-\dfrac{100}{9}\times 446.15(810,000-446.15^2)^{-1/2}\right]\left[-25\left[1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt {25} \right]^{-2}25^{-1/2}\right]\\=12.009

The quantity demanded per month of the tablet computers will be changing at a rate of 12 tablet computers/month correct to 1 decimal place.
