Find the value of the variable

It's candy time! Suppose 5 friends go out candy collecting. Starting out, Ms. Gleason gave each of them 12 pieces of candy. Then

sdas [7]

Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First, since they all collected 510, you divide 510 by 5, to figure out how much each person got.

You then know that each of them got 102 candies, so now, you subtract 12 from from 102, since the teacher gave them that much in the beginning.

You're left with 90, so last step is to divide 90 by 15, since they collect 15 every hour, which you get left with 6. Meaning they collected candies for 6 hours

Based on the results from part C, which two statements correctly interpret actions the business should take? If material 2 is us

Serjik [45]

The profit function is the difference between the cost and the revenue functions.

The true statement is (a) If material 2 is used, Carrie will earn a profit if she sells chairs for more than $150 each.

<h3>How to determine the true profit functions</h3>

From the complete questions, the profit functions are calculated as follows:

Material 1

$P(x) = 5000000- 20000x - 200000x + 2000x^2$

$P(x) = 5000000-220000x + 2000x^2$

Material 2

$P(x) = 4000000 - 10000x - 160000x+ 1000x^2$

$P(x) = 4000000-170000x+ 1000x^2$

Material 3

$P(x) = 2000000 - 5000x - 54000x - 270x^2$

$P(x) = 2000000 -59000x - 270x^2$

Next, we test the options

Option 1: When material 2 is used

A price is greater than $150 is $151.

Calculate P(151) using $P(x) = 4000000-170000x+ 1000x^2$

So, we have:

$P(151) = 4000000-170000 * 151+ 1000* 151^2$

$P(151) = 1131000$

P(151) is greater than 0; this represents a profit

Hence, option (1) is true

Option 2: When material 1 is used

A price is less than $50 is $49.

Calculate P(49) using $P(x) = 5000000-220000x + 2000x^2$

So, we have:

$P(49) = 5000000-220000 * 49 + 2000* 49^2$

$P(49) =-978000$

P(49) is less than 0; this represents loss

Hence, option (2) is false

Option 3: When material 3 is used

Calculate P(45) and P(160) using $P(x) = 2000000 -59000x - 270x^2$

So, we have:

$P(45) = 2000000 -59000 * 45 - 270 * 45^2$

$P(45) = -1201750$

P(45) is less than 0; this represents loss

Hence, option (3) is false

Option 1: When material 2 is used

Calculate P(30) and P(120) using $P(x) = 4000000-170000x+ 1000x^2$

So, we have:

$P(30) = 4000000-170000*30+ 1000*30^2$

$P(30) = -200000$

P(30) is less than 0; this represents a loss

Hence, option (4) is false

Option 2: When material 1 is used

Calculate P(40) and P(70) using $P(x) = 5000000-220000x + 2000x^2$

So, we have:

$P(40) = 5000000-220000*40 + 2000*40^2$

$P(40) = -600000$

P(49) is less than 0; this represents loss

Hence, option (5) is false

The above means that:

The true statement is (a) If material 2 is used, Carrie will earn a profit if she sells chairs for more than $150 each.

Solve log x - 2 = 3 A. 1 B. 100,000 C. 10,000 D. 10

ahrayia [7]

Answer: $100,000$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

$logx - 2 = 3$

add 2 to both sides

$log x = 5$

Therefore :

$x = 10^{5}$

$x = 100,000$

Calculate pt3 such that a line from pt1 to pt3 is perpendicular to the line from pt1 to pt2, and the distance between pt1 and pt

Leni [432]

Let the point_1 = p₁ = (1,4)
and      point_2 = p₂ = (-2,1)
and      Point_3 = p₃ = (x,y)

The line from point_1 to point_2 is L₁ and has slope = m₁
The line from point_1 to point_3 is L₂ and has slope = m₂
m₁ = Δy/Δx = (1-4)/(-2-1) = 1
m₂ = Δy/Δx = (y-4)/(x-1)
L₁⊥L₂ ⇒⇒⇒⇒ m₁ * m₂ = -1
∴ (y-4)/(x-1) = -1 ⇒⇒⇒ (y-4)= -(x-1)
(y-4) = (1-x) ⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒ equation (1)

The distance from point_1 to point_2 is d₁
The distance from point_1 to point_3 is d₂
d = $\sqrt{Δx^2+Δy^2}$
d₁ = $\sqrt{(-2-1)^2+(1-4)^2}$
d₂ = $\sqrt{(x-1)^2+(y-4)^2}$
d₁ = d₂
∴ $\sqrt{(-2-1)^2+(1-4)^2} = \sqrt{(x-1)^2+(y-4)^2}$ ⇒⇒ eliminating the root
∴(-2-1)²+(1-4)² = (x-1)²+(y-4)²
(x-1)²+(y-4)² = 18
from equatoin (1) y-4 = 1-x
∴(x-1)²+(1-x)² = 18            ⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒ note: (1-x)² = (x-1)²
2 (x-1)² = 18
(x-1)² = 9
x-1 = $\pm \sqrt{9} = \pm 3$
∴ x = 4 or x = -2
∴ y = 1 or y = 7

Point_3 = (4,1) or (-2,7)
