Find the total cost of producing 5 widgets. Widget Wonders produces widgets. They have found that the cost, c(x), of making x widgets is a quadratic function in terms of x. The company also discovered that it costs $15.50 to produce 3 widgets, $23.50 to produce 7 widgets, and $56 to produce 12 widgets.
OK...so we have
a(7)^2 + b(7) + c = 23.50 → 49a + 7b + c = 23.50 (1)
a(3)^2 + b(3) + c = 15.50 → 9a + 3b + c = 15.50 subtracting the second equation from the first, we have
40a + 4b = 8 → 10a + b = 2 (2)
Also
a(12)^2 + b(12) + c = 56 → 144a + 12b + c = 56 and subtracting (1) from this gives us
95a + 5b = 32.50
And using(2) we have
95a + 5b = 32.50 (3)
10a + b = 2.00 multiplying the second equation by -5 and adding this to (3) ,we have
45a = 22.50 divide both sides by 45 and a = 1/2 and using (2) to find b, we have
10(1/2) + b = 2
5 + b = 2 b = -3
And we can use 9a + 3b + c = 15.50 to find "c"
9(1/2) + 3(-3) + c = 15.50
9/2 - 9 + c = 15.50
-4.5 + c = 15.50
c = 20
So our function is
c(x) = (1/2)x^2 - (3)x + 20
And the cost to produce 5 widgets is = $17.50
Answer:
present value = $16750
Step-by-step explanation:
The simple interest formula allows us to calculate A, which is the final amount. According to this formula, the amount is given by A = P (1 + r*t), where P is the principal, r is the annual interest rate in decimal form, and t is the loan period expressed in years
simple interest formula:
t: time
P: present value
A: amount
r
: anual interest
A = P (1 + r*t)
P = A / (1 + r*t)
P = 19,513.75 / (1 + 3/100 * 5.5)
P = 19,513.75/ (1 + 0.165)
P = 19,513.75 / 1.165
P = 16750
present value = $16750
The answer is D you put 10/5 then simplify
11 x 15 = $165
He will have $165 after 15 weeks.
Answer:
angle 2 = 90° {corresponding angles}
angle 7 + angle 5 = 180° {linear pair}
or, angle 7 + 100° = 180° {angle 5 is corresponding to 100°}
so, angle 7 = 80°
