Mr. Shamir employs two part-time typists, Inna and Jim, for his typing needs. Inna charges $15 an hour and can type 6 pages an h

our, while Jim charges $18 an hour and can type 8 pages per hour. Each typist must be employed at least 8 hours per week to keep them on the payroll. If Mr. Shamir has at least 208 pages to be typed, how many hours per week should he employ each typist to minimize his typing costs?

Answer:

The minimum cost would be 480$ when Inna works for 8 hours and Jim works for 20 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Charges for 1 hour for Inna = $15

Number of pages typed by Inna in 1 hour = 6

Charges for 1 hour for Jim = $18

Number of pages typed by Jim in 1 hour = 8

Let x be the number of hours Inna work and let y be the number of hours Jim work.

Total cost = 15x + 18y

We have to minimize this cost.

Then, we can write the following inequalities:

6x + 8y \geq 208\\x \geq 8\\y \geq 8\\

The corner points as evaluated from graph are: (8,20) and (24,8)

C(8,20) = 480$

C(24,8) = 504$

Hence, the minimum cost would be 480$ when Inna works for 8 hours and Jim works for 20 hours.

The attached image shows the graph.

Factor 48m + 42n to identify the equivalent expressions
Ksenya-84 [330]

The equivalent expressions are 2(24m + 21n) and 3(16m + 14n) and 6(8m + 7n)

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, we have to factor the given expression

<em><u>Given expression is:</u></em>

48m + 42n

The equivalent expressions can be found by factoring out the common factors of 48 and 42

<em><u>Let us first find the factors of 48 and 42</u></em>

The factors of 42 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42

The factors of 48 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48

Thus the common factors are: 1, 2, 3, 6

Let us factor out 2 from given expression

48m + 42n = 2(24m+21n)

Now factor out 3 from given expression

48m + 42n = 3(16m + 14n)

Now factor out 6 from given expression

48m+42n=6(8m + 7n)

Thus the equivalent expressions are 2(24m + 21n) and 3(16m + 14n) and 6(8m + 7n)

A linear revenue function is R = 12x. (Assume R is measured in dollars.) what is the slope? What is the revenue received from se
kherson [118]

Answer:

12 ; 12 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Revenue function, R = 12x

R is in dollars

Now,

The slope can be found out by differentiating the above revenue function w.r.t 'x'

thus,

\frac{\textup{dR}}{\textup{dx}}= \frac{\textup{d(12x)}}{\textup{dx}}

or

slope = 12

Now, for the second case of selling one more unit i.e x = 1, the revenue can be obtained by substituting x = 1 in revenue function

therefore,

R = 12 × 1 = 12 dollars
