Answer:
Therefore the maximum number of video games that we can purchase
is 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
i) Let us say the number of video game system we can buy that costs $185
is x and the number of video games of cost $14.95 is y.
ii) The total amount we can spend on the purchase of the video game
system is $280.
iii) Now with the amount of $280 mentioned in ii) we can see that the
number of game systems that can be bought is 1.
Therefore x = 1.
Therefore the equation we can write to equate the number of video
games and video game system is given by $185 + $14.95 × y ≤ 280
Therefore 14.95 × y ≤ 280 - 185 = 95
Therefore y ≤ 95 ÷ 14.95 = 6.355
Therefore the maximum number of video games that we can purchase
is 6.
Answer:
The values of x for which the model is 0 ≤ x ≤ 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The given function for the volume of the shipping box is given as follows;
V = 2·x³ - 19·x² + 39·x
The function will make sense when V ≥ 0, which is given as follows
When V = 0, x = 0
Which gives;
0 = 2·x³ - 19·x² + 39·x
0 = 2·x² - 19·x + 39
0 = x² - 9.5·x + 19.5
From an hint obtained by plotting the function, we have;
0 = (x - 3)·(x - 6.5)
We check for the local maximum as follows;
dV/dx = d(2·x³ - 19·x² + 39·x)/dx = 0
6·x² - 38·x + 39 = 0
x² - 19/3·x + 6.5 = 0
x = (19/3 ±√((19/3)² - 4 × 1 × 6.5))/2
∴ x = 1.288, or 5.045
At x = 1.288, we have;
V = 2·1.288³ - 19·1.288² + 39·1.288 ≈ 22.99
V ≈ 22.99 in.³
When x = 5.045, we have;
V = 2·5.045³ - 19·5.045² + 39·5.045≈ -30.023
Therefore;
V > 0 for 0 < x < 3 and V < 0 for 3 < x < 6.5
The values of x for which the model makes sense and V ≥ 0 is 0 ≤ x ≤ 3.
