Answer:

28 oz. for $2.24 cost most per ounce

$12.5 per oz

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the cost per ounce by dividing the total oz by cost of the total oz

60 oz. of peanut butter for $5.40

Cost per the ounce = 60 oz / $5.40

= $11.11 per oz

28 oz. for $2.24

Cost of peanut butter per ounce = 28 oz / $2.24

= $12.5 per oz

16 oz. for $1.76?

Cost of peanut butter per ounce = 16 oz / $1.76

= $9.10 per oz

28 oz. for $2.24 cost most per ounce

Can anyone help me on this problem? Please it doesn’t make sense to me...
Sav [38]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost per item is found by dividing the cost by the number of items. If the woman bought n items for $120, the cost of each item is $120/n. If the woman bought 24 more items, n+24, at the same price, then the cost per item is $120/(n+24). The problem statement tells us this last cost is $16 less than the first cost:

120/(n+24) = (120/n) -16

Multiplying by n(n+24) gives ...

120n = 120(n+24) -16(n)(n+24)

0 = 120·24 -16n^2 -16·24n . . . . . . subtract 120n and collect terms

n^2 +24n -180 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by -16 to make the numbers smaller

(n +30)(n -6) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor the quadratic

The solutions to this are the values of n that make the factors zero: n = -30, n = 6. The negative value of n has no meaning in this context, so n=6 is the solution to the equation.

The woman bought 6 items.

_____

Check

When the woman bought 6 items for $120, she paid $120/6 = $20 for each of them. If she bought 6+24 = 30 items for the same money, she would pay $120/30 = $4 for each item. That amount, $4, is $16 less than the $20 she paid for each item.

Determine algebraically whether the given function is even, odd, or neither.
uranmaximum [27]
To check whether a function is odd or even, we simply substitute the argument by its negative version, namely "x" by "-x".

if the expression simplifies to resemble the original expression, that simply means the expression is even.  If it resembles the original negative expression, is odd.

\bf g(x)=-2x^3-9\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\stackrel{x=-x}{g(-x)}=-2(-x)^3-9\implies g(-x)=-2(-x)(-x)(-x)-9
\\\\\\
g(-x)=+2(x)(x)(x)-9\implies g(-x)=2x^3-9

 well, that doesn't look like the original - 2x³ - 9, so is not even.

and -f(x) would be 2x³ + 9, and that doesn't look like either, so is not odd.

thus is neither.
