Answer:

the woman has to live 1 mile from work to minimize the expenses

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

the distance within 9 miles ⇒ 0 < x > 9

Total costs Q = cx + 4c/( x + 1)

costs should be minimum  ⇒ dQ/dx = 0

⇒ d/dx [ cx + 4c/( x + 1) ] = 0

⇒ ( x + 1)² = 4

take square root of both side

√[ ( x + 1)² ] = √4

x + 1 = 2

x = 2 - 1

x = 1

Therefore, the woman has to live 1 mile from work to minimize the expenses

A box contains 100 colored chips; some are pink and some are blue. Milton chooses a chip at random, records the color, and place
Lena [83]

The approximate number of pink chips is 40. Here's why: what you need to do is set up the problem as shown below. 12 goes above 30 because you have to know what the total number of chips chosen is in order to relate it to 100 chips. From there, all you have to do is cross-multiply and divide (or my middle school teacher used to call it fish.... I'll explain why). First you are going to draw a line from the 100 to the 12 and multiply them. then you are going to curve the line that you will draw from the 12 to the 30 and divide the product of 12 and 100 by 30. Then you will draw a line from the 30 to the X meaning that the quotient that you find from the product of 120 and 100 divided by 30 equals X.  Hope that helps.

A. 40x^2 + 240x + 200
Shape: Rectangle
Formula: A = LW
A = (10x + 10)(4x + 20)
= (10x)(4x) + (10x)(20) + (10)(4x) + (10)(20)
= 40x^2 + 200x + 40x + 200
= 40x^2 + 240x + 200

2. 57,600 ft^2
Width:
4x + 20 = 160
4x = 140
x = 35
Plug-In:
10x + 10
10(35) + 10
350 + 10
360 = Length
————————————-
A = LW
A = 360 • 160
A = 57,600 ft^2
