Given :

The Mad Hat Company must ship two different-sized boxes: The small ones cost them 45 cents each and weigh 6 ounces, and the large ones weigh 25 ounces and cost $1.20 each.

The total shipment this morning weighed 20 pounds 7 ounces and cost $18.45.

To Find :

How many packages of each size were shipped.

Solution :

We know, 1 pound = 16 ounces.

So, 20 pound = 20×16 = 320 ounces.

Let, number of large and small box are l and s.

So,

25l + 6s = 327 ...1)

0.45s + 1.20l = 18.45 ...2)

Solving both the equations, we get :

x = 9 and y = 17

Therefore, package smaller and big size are 17 and 9 respectively .

Hence, this is the required solution.

State whether f is a function
Alenkinab [10]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

y=\pm (\frac{x}{6})^{\frac{1}{4}} \ is \ not \ a \ function

<h2>Step by step solution:</h2>

A function f from a set A to a set B is a relation that assigns to each element x in the set A exactly one element y in the set B. The set A is the domain (also called the set of inputs) of the function and the set B contains the range (also called the set of outputs). On the other hand, a function has an inverse function if and only if passes the Horizontal Line Test for Inverse Functions. This test tells us that a function f has an inverse function if and only if there is no any horizontal line that intersects the graph of f at more than one point. So the function is called one-to-one. The graph of f is shown below. As you can see, this function does not pass the Horizontal Line Test, therefore the inverse is not a function. However, let's find f^-{1}(x):

f(x)=6x^4 \\ \\ Substitute \ f(x) \ by \ y \\ \\ y=6x^4 \\ \\ Interchange \ x \ and \ y: \\ \\ x=6y^4 \\ \\ Solve \ for \ y: \\ \\ y^4=\frac{x}{6} \\ \\ Solving \\ \\y=\pm \sqrt[4]{\frac{x}{6}} \\ \\ \boxed{y=\pm \left(\frac{x}{6}\right)^{\frac{1}{4}}}

and this is not a function because there are elements in the set of inputs that match with two elements in the set of outputs.

A trapezoid has an area of 20 cm2 and a height z cm. The lengths of the parallel sides are (2z + 3) cm and (6z – 1) cm. Find the
Brums [2.3K]

Answer: 2.11cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

The lengths of the parallel sides are (2z + 3) cm and (6z – 1) cm

The area of trapezoid is calculated using the formula:

1/2(a + b) × h

Where ;

a = Length of side 1

b = length of side 2

h = height

Take a = (2z + 3) and b = (6z – 1), h = z

Therefore ;

1/2 (2z + 3 + 6z - 1) × z

Opening the bracket

(z + 1.5 + 3z - 0.5) × z

(4z + 1 ) × z = 20cm^2

4z^2 + z = 20cm^2

Using Quadratic formula:

4z^2 + z - 20 = 0

a = 4, b = 1, c = - 20

(-b±√b^2 -4ac) / 2a

Z = 2.11 or - 2.364

z cannot be negative, therefore,

Z = 2.11 cm
