Mathematics
1 answer:
faltersainse [42]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

D) a = - 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x -5y - 7 = 0

5y = 2x - 7

y = 2/5 x - 7

the slope of this line is therefore 2/5 (factor of x).

the perpendicular slope is then (exchange y and x and flip the sign) -5/2, which is then a and the factor of x.

seraphim [82]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Step 1: Determine quantity per liquid</em>

liquid 1=7/8 cup

liquid 2=9/10 cup

<em>Step 2: Derive expression to calculate total amount of mixture</em>

The expression below can be derived;

T=a+b

where;

T=total amount of mixture

a=total amount of liquid 1

b=total amount of liquid 2

In our case;

a=7/8 cup

b=9/10 cup

replacing;

T=(7/8)+(9/10)=1 31/40 cups

The total amount of mixture=1 31/40 cups

Natalija [7]

Revenue, R = 130x

Profit, P = Revenue – Cost

 P = R – C

P = 130x – 2950 + 6x + 0.1x^2

At P = 0

0 = -2950 + 136x +0.1x^2

X = 21.355, -1381.355

Therefore, manufacture greater than 21.355 items to make profit.
