Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Natsano can satisfy his constraints by investing the first $20,000 in Company A, then splitting the remaining $35,000 evenly between the companies. For best return, he needs to invest as much as possible in Company B, but each such dollar (after the first 20k) must be matched by a dollar invested in Company A. That is, his investments should be ...
- Company A: $37,500
- Company B: $17,500
_____
The attached graph shows the feasible region of investments (doubly shaded). The vertex that maximizes the objective function (return on investment) is the one highlighted. (It puts the objective function line as far as possible from the origin.)
_____
Sometimes graphing the constraints is more work than necessary if there is some simple logic that quickly identifies the solution.
Answer:
The directions for a homemade glass cleaner call for 1 part vinegar to 4 parts water. Mr. Gilbert mixed 2 cups of vinegar with 5 cups of water. Did he use a correct ratio of vinegar to water? Explain.
Answer:
3x +8y = -17
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope equation is a good place to start.
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . equation through (h, k) with slope m
Filling in your numbers gives ...
y +4 = -3/8(x -5)
Multiplying by 8, we get
8y + 32 = -3x + 15
Adding 3x-32 puts this in standard form.
3x + 8y = -17
_____
Standard form is ...
ax +by = c
where a, b, c are mutually-prime integers and the leading coefficient is positive. (If a=0, the leading coefficient is b.)
Is this a joke or do u actually want us to answer it
