Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The zeros are where the function crosses the x-axis. In this case, it is 5/2 and -3, which eliminates options C and D. Next, the y-intercept is the point as to where the function crosses the y-axis. Here, it is (0,15), but does not help us to narrow down our options. Finally, the maximum is the highest y-value that the function touches. If you observe the graph at its highest point, it can be inferred that it's y-value is slightly above 15, and so it is at 15.1 (x-value has no importance in this context).
Let the unknown number be x.
5/11 * x = 55
Since x is being multiplied by 5/11, and you want x alone, you need to multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 5/11 which 11/5.
11/5 * 5/11 * x = 55/1 * 11/5
x = 605/5
x = 121
Answer: The number is 121.
Answer:
Use 49 ounces of the 14% allow and 41 ounces of the 23% alloy.
Step-by-step explanation:
Each ounce of the 14% copper contains 0.14 ounce of pure copper.
Each ounce of the 23% copper contains 0.23 ounce of pure copper.
Each ounce of the 18.1% copper contains 0.181 ounce of pure copper.
Use x ounces of the 14% and y ounces of the 23% to make 90 ounces of 18.1% alloy.
x+y = 90
y = 90-x
0.14x + 0.23y = 0.181·90
0.14x + 0.23(90-x) = 16.29
0.14x + 20.7 - 0.23x = 16.29
-0.09x + 20.7 = 16.29
4.41 = 0.09x
x = 49
y = 90-x = 41
Use 49 ounces of the 14% allow and 41 ounces of the 23% alloy.
85% of 690 lbs would be 586.5
