A deli is offering two specials. The roast beef special gives a profit of $2.30 per sandwich, and the turkey special gives a pro

fit of $3.10 per sandwich. The roast beef special uses two slices of bread and three slices of cheese. The turkey special uses two slices of bread and four slices of cheese. The deli has 120 slices of bread and 160 slices of cheese available for the specials. The deli wants to maximize its profit selling specials. Let x represent the number of roast beef specials and y represent the number of turkey specials. What are the constraints for the problem?

Answer:

The constraints are as follows;

1) 2·x + 2·y ≤ 120

2) 3·x + 4·y ≤ 160

3) x = 2.30

4) y = 3.10

5) P = 2.3·x + 3.10

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is a word problem, with the analysis as follows;

The profit from the roast beef special per sandwich = $2.30

The profit from the turkey special per sandwich = $3.10

The number of slices of bread in the roast beef special = Two slices

The number of slices of cheese in the roast beef special = Three slices

The number of slices of bread in the turkey special = Two slices

The number of slices of cheese in the turkey special = Four slices

The number of slices of bread the deli has  = 120 slices

The number of slices of cheese the deli has = 160 slices

Let 'x' and represent the number of roast beef special and 'y' represent the number of turkey special the deli makes, then we have the constraints as follows;

For the number of slices of bread used;

2·x + 2·y ≤ 120...(1)

For the number of slices of cheese used;

3·x + 4·y ≤ 160...(2)

x = 2.30

y = 3.10

The profit 'P' is given by the following equation

P = 2.3·x + 3.10.

What is the measure, in degrees, of an angle that represents 50/350 of a circle?
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

\mathrm{A.\: 50^{\circ} }

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 360 degrees in a circle, we can set up the following proportion:

\frac{50}{360}=\frac{x}{360},\\360x=50\cdot 360,\\x=\boxed{50}

Help me please I’m begging you:(

Answer:

Chips = 14

Pretzel = 14

Cookie = 8

Popcorn = 13

Question Mark = 222

Step-by-step explanation:

First Equation:

Chips + Pretzel + Chips = 42

Third Equation: Chips = Pretzel.

This means that

Pretzel + Pretzel + Pretzel = 42

Pretzel = \frac{42}{3} =14

Chips = Pretzel

Chips = 14

Second Equation:

Cookie + Chips + Cookie = 30

We know that Chips = 14.

Cookie + 14 + Cookie = 30

Subtract 14 on both sides:

Cookie + Cookie = 16

Cookie = 16\div 2 =8.

Fourth Equation:

Cookie + Cookie + Popcorn = 29

We know that Cookie = 8.

8 + 8 + Popcorn = 29

16 + Popcorn = 29

Subtract 16 on both sides:

Popcorn = 13.

Question Mark:

(Popcorn + Popcorn) \times Cookie + Chips = (13 + 13) \times 8 + 14 = 26 \times 8 + 14 = 208+14=222

Which represents a side length of a square that has an area of 450 square inches?
vovikov84 [41]
<span>I have been a high school/jr high math teacher for the past 13 years. I am happy to explain how to proceed with this problem.
A square is a figure where ALL sides are exactly the same. The find the area of the square you would multiply one side times another side. You would be multiplying a number times itself. So if you already have the area, you would take the square root to find your answer. When you do, you end up with 21.21 square inches rounded to the nearest hundredth.</span>

Can you please explain to me what the end behavior of the function f(x)=-2x^4-x^3+3 looks like?
Artist 52 [7]
The dominant term is -2x⁴. 

As X approaches infinite, y is naturally going to be really large as well.

Remember that a number with an even exponent, regardless of whether it's positive or negative, will be positive.
As x approaches infinite, y will approach -2 * ∞, or -∞. Therefore, the end behavior in the positive direction is y=-∞
As x approaches negative infinite, y will approach -2 *∞ again. This is because         -∞⁴ = ∞. Therefore, the end behavior in the negative direction is also y=-∞

Basically, due to the dominance of the -2x^4 term, the function will look more or less like a downward facing parabola with a y-intercept of 3.
