The Sureset Concrete Company produces concrete. Two ingredients in concrete are sand (costs $6 per ton) and gravel (costs $8 per

ton). Sand and gravel together must make up exactly 75% of the weight of the concrete. Also, no more than 40% of the concrete can be sand and at least 30% of the concrete be gravel. Each day 2000 tons of concrete are produced. To minimize costs, how many tons of gravel and sand should be purchased each day

Answer:

The Sureset Concrete Company

The tons of gravel and sand that should be purchased each day are:

Sand = 800 tons

Gravel = 700 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

Two ingredients for producing concrete = sand and gravel

Cost of sand per ton = $6

Cost of gravel per ton = $8

Sand and gravel = 75% of the concrete

Therefore 25% (100 - 75%) will be made up of cement and water

Tons of concrete produced each day = 2,000

Sand and gravel = 1,500 (2,000 * 75%)

Sand <= 40% of 2,000 = 800 tons

Gravel => 30% of 2,000 = 700 (1,500 - 800) tons

To minimize costs,  800 tons of gravel and 700 tons of sand should be purchased each day.

Total cost incurred daily for both sand and gravel = $10,400 (800 * $6 + 700 * $8)

Which of the following is the function F(x) if F^-1(x) = x+4/11?
Marianna [84]

Answer:

B. F(x) =X-4/11

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the inverse function;

f^(-1)(x) = x + 4/11

Thus means, x was replaced with y and vise versa. Thus;

x = y + 4/11

Lets make y the subject;

y = x - 4/11

Thus,in inverse of a function we replace y with f(x) for the original function or f^(1)(x) for the inverse.

Thus, putting f(x) for y gives;

f(x) = x - 4/11

Answer:

The equation is x = -5

The slope is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line is perpendicular to the x axis, that means it is a vertical line.

Vertical lines only reach one x value, which is -5 in this case.

So, the equation will simply be x = -5.

The slope is 0.
