A bus company has contracted with a local high school to carry 450 students on a field trip. The company has 18 large buses whic

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the big buses and y represent small buses. The large buses can carry 30 students and the small buses can carry 15 students. The total number of students are 450, this can be represented by the inequality:

30x + 15y ≤ 450

They are only 20 drivers, therefore only 20 buses can be used. It is represented by:

x + y ≤ 20

They are only 19 small buses and 18 large buses:

x ≤ 18

y ≤ 19

After plotting the graph, the minimum solution to the graph are at:

A (15,0), B(18,0), C(10, 10), D(18, 2).

The cost function is given as:

The total cost of operating one large bus is $225 a day, and the total cost of operating one small bus is $100 per day.

F(x, y) = 225x + 100y

At point A:

F(x, y) = 225(15) + 100(0) = $3375

At point B:

F(x, y) = 225(18) + 100(0) = $4050

At point C:

F(x, y) = 225(10) + 100(10) = $3250

At point D:

F(x, y) = 225(18) + 100(2) = $4250

The minimum cost is at point C(10, 10) which is $3250

Zach wants to build a slanted skateboard ramp. He knows he wants the ramp to form a 15 degrees angle with the ground and be 4 fe

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer: The ramp would be 15.5 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the attached diagram for details.

Angle C shows the angle to be formed by the ramp from the ground, which is 15 degrees. Also, from the ground, it’s going to be four feet tall, which is line AB. The top of the ramp is point A, which makes line AC the entire length of the ramp. Since we have a reference angle (angle C) and two sides, the opposite and the hypotenuse, we shall apply the trigonometric ratio.

SinC = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin 15 = 4/b

By cross multiplication we now have

b = 4/Sin15

b = 4/0.2588

b = 15.4599

Approximately b = 15.5

Therefore the length of the ramp would be 15.5 feet
