A printer has a contract to print 100,000 posters for a political candidate. He can run the posters by using any number of plate

s from 1 to 30 on his press. If he uses x metal plates, they will produce x copies of the poster with each impression of the press. The metal plates cost $20.00 to prepare, and it costs $125.00 per hour to run the press. If the press can make 1000 impressions per hour, how many metal plates should the printer make to minimize costs

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

Numbers of posters that can be printed in an hour = no of impression/hour × no of plate utilized in each impression.

= 1000x

Thus, the required number of hours it will take can be computed as:

\implies \dfrac{100000}{1000x} \\ \\ =\dfrac{100}{x}

cost per hour = 125

If each plate costs $20 to make, then the total number of plate will equal to 40x

∴

The total cost can be computed as:

C(x) = (\dfrac{100}{x}) \times 125 + 20 x --- (1)

C'(x) = (-\dfrac{12500}{x^2})  + 20  --- (2)

At C'(x) = 0

\dfrac{12500}{x^2} = 20

\dfrac{12500}{20} = x^2

x^2= 625

x = \sqrt{625}

x = 25

C'' (x) = -12500 \times \dfrac{-2}{x^3} +0

C'' (x) = \dfrac{25000}{x^3}

where; x = 25

C'' (x) = \dfrac{25000}{25^3}

C''(x) = 1.6

Thus, at x = 25, C'' > 0

As such, to minimize the cost, the printer needs to make 25 metal plates.

In triangle ABC, (angle A) is a right angle and (m angle B) = 45deg.
Ratling [72]
We can use the ratios for special triangles (see the attachment below). We'll be using the 45-45-90 triangle. We notice that side BC is equal to x \sqrt{2}, and side AC (x using the special right triangle) is equal to 16. We can therefore say that side BC is equal to 16 \sqrt{2} ft

It’s not “analyzes the paper topic” I got it wrong in Edgeunity it should be “explains the papers topic”
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer for the first question is, what does the audience want to know? She wants the audience to know that she is preparing to write an article for his school newspaper. A thesis statement is a sentence that most likely explains the papers topic and knowing the audience will help her use the right words and connotations to provide the best report to her teacher.

1).  To multiply with like bases, add the exponents ===>  5² x 5⁵ = 5⁷

2).  Same rule.  e² x e⁷ = e⁹

3).  Same rule, but make sure to start with like bases.

2a⁵ x 6a = (2 x 6) (a⁵ x a¹) = 12 a⁶

4).  Same rule, but make sure to start with like bases.

4x² (-5)x⁶ = (4) (-5) (x² x⁶) = -20x⁸

5).  To divide with like bases, subtract the denominator (divisor) exponent
from the numerator (dividend) exponent. ===> 7⁹ / 7³ = 7⁶

6).  Same rule.    v¹⁴ / v⁶ = v⁸

7).  Same rule, but make sure to start with like bases.

15w⁷ / 5w² = (15/5) (w⁷/w²) = 3 w⁵

8).  Same rule, but make sure to start with like bases.

10 m⁸ / 2m = (10/2) (m⁸ / m¹) = 5m⁷

9).  Same rules.  Add exponents to multiply, subtract them to divide.

( 2⁵ x 3⁷ x 4³ ) / (2¹ x 3⁵ x 4) = (2⁵ / 2¹) x (3⁷ / 3⁵) x (4³ / 4¹) = 2⁴ x 3² x 4²

10).  (4¹⁵) x (-5)⁶ / (4¹² x (-5)⁴ ) = (4¹⁵/4¹²) x [ (-5)⁶/(-5)⁴ ] = 4³ x (-5)² = 4³ x 5²

11).  (6⁷ x 7⁶ x 8⁵) / (6⁵ x 7⁵ x 8⁴) = (6⁷ / 6⁵) x (7⁶ / 7⁵) x (8⁵ / 8⁴)
       You can finish it from here, you Crazy Unicorn you.

12).  [ (-3)⁶ x 10⁵ ] / [ (-3)⁴ x 10³ ]   =  [ (-3)⁶ / (-3)⁴ ] x (10⁵/10³)  
        The last step is yours.  Take it !
