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.

Thee population of a town, P(t), is 2000 in the year 2010. Every year, it increases by 1.5%. Write an equation for the populatio
steposvetlana [31]

Given:

In 2010, the population of a town = 2000

Every year, it increase by 1.5%

To find the equation P(t) which represents the population of this town t years from 2010.

Formula

If a be the original population of a town and it increases by b% every year, after t year the population will be

a (1+\frac{b}{100} )^{t}

Now,

Taking, a  =2000, b = 1.5 we get,

P(t) = 2000(1+\frac{1.5}{100} )^{t}

or, P(t) = 2000(1+0.015)^{t}

Hence,

The population of this town t years from 2010 P(t) = 2000(1+0.015)^{t}, Option D.

The thousand islands are located along the border between new york and canada. the adventure club wants to place a stone marker
Nikitich [7]

Using proportions, it is found that the number of islands that each member will have to visit is given by:

c. 19 islands.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, there are 684 islands, and 36 members, hence the number of islands per member is given by:

n = 684/36 = 19.

Which means that option c is correct.
