Answer:

Number of pounds of cashews = x = 14.96 pounds

Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y = 19.04 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent:

Number of pounds of cashews = x

Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y

The nut shack sells cashews for $6.00 per pound and Brazil nuts for $5.00 per pound. How much of each type should be used to make a 34 pound mixture that sells for $5.44 per pound

Our system of equations is given as:

x + y = 34...... Equation 1

x = 34 - y

6x + 5y = 34 × 5.44

6x + 5y = 184.96.......Equation 2

Ww substitute : 34 - y for x in Equation 2

6(34 - y) + 5y = 184.96

204 - 6y + 5y = 184.96

Collect like terms

- 6y + 5y = 184.96 - 204

-y = -19.04

y = 19.04 pounds

Solving for x

x = 34 - y

x = 34 - 19.04

x = 14.96 pounds

Number of pounds of cashews = x = 14.96 pounds

Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y = 19.04 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

For a quadratic equation y = ax² + bx + c, the vertex (the maximum or minimum point) is at x = -b/(2a).

1) y = -0.5t² + 2t + 38

The maximum is at:

t = -2 / (2 × -0.5)

t = 2

The maximum height is:

y = -0.5(2)² + 2(2) + 38

y = 40

The coordinates of the vertex are (2, 40).  That means the missile reaches a maximum height of 40 km after 2 minutes.

2) y = -4.9t² + 12t + 1.6

The maximum is at:

t = -12 / (2 × -4.9)

t = 1.22

The maximum height is:

y = -4.9(1.22)² + 12(1.22) + 1.6

y = 8.95

The coordinates of the vertex are (1.22, 8.95).  That means the missile reaches a maximum height of 8.95 m after 1.22 seconds.

3) y = -0.04x² + 0.88x

The maximum is at:

x = -0.88 / (2 × -0.04)

x = 11

The maximum height is:

y = -0.04(11)² + 0.88(11)

y = 4.84

The maximum height of the tunnel is 4.84 meters.

The maximum width is when y = 0.

0 = -0.04x² + 0.88x

0 = -0.04x (x − 22)

x = 22

The maximum width is 22 feet.

Bogdan [553]

Answer : Probability that the pumping system will fail on any given day = 0.005

Explanation:

Probability that only older pump fail = P(A) = 0.10

Probability that only newer pump fail = P(B) = 0.05

Since they are independent events ,

then the conditions will be

P(A∩B) = P(A). P(B)

             = 0.10 ×0.05

             =  0.005

Hence, the probability will fail on any given day = 0.005
