Questions:

A clothing manufacturer uses the model a = √(f + 4) - √(36 - f) to estimate the amount of fabric to order from a mill. In the formula, a is the number of apparel items (in hundreds) and f is the number of units of fabric needed. If 400 apparel items will be manufactured , how many units of fabric should be ordered?

Answer:

32 units of fabrics

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a = \sqrt{f + 4} - \sqrt{36 - f}

Required

Find f when a  = 4

Substitute 4 for a

4 = \sqrt{f + 4} - \sqrt{36 - f}

Rewrite as:

\sqrt{36 - f} + 4 = \sqrt{f + 4}

Square both sides

(\sqrt{36 - f} + 4)^2 = (\sqrt{f + 4})^2

(\sqrt{36 - f} + 4)^2 = f + 4

36 - f + 8\sqrt{36 - f} + 16 = f + 4

Collect Like Terms

8\sqrt{36 - f}= f +f+ 4 - 36 -16

8\sqrt{36 - f}= 2f -48

Divide through by 2

4\sqrt{36 - f}= f -24

Square both sides

16(36-f) = (f - 24)^2

16(36-f) = f^2 - 48f + 576

576-16f = f^2 - 48f + 576

-16f = f^2 - 48f

Collect like terms

f^2 - 48f + 16f = 0

f^2 -32f = 0

Factorize

f(f - 32) = 0

f = 0 or f = 32

f can not be 0 because some units must be ordered.

So, f = 32

Question 24 Multiple Choice Worth 1 points)
hammer [34]

Given:

The system of equations is:

Line A: y=x-4

Line B: y=3x+4

To find:

The solution of given system of equations.

Solution:

We have,

y=x-4              ...(i)

y=3x+4           ...(ii)

Equating (i) and (ii), we get

x-4=3x+4

-4-4=3x-x

-8=2x

Divide both sides by 2.

-4=x

Substituting x=-4 in (i), we get

y=-4-4

y=-8

The solution of system of equations is (-4,-8).

Now verify the solution by substituting x=-4, y=-8 in the given equations.

-8=-4-4

-8=-8

This statement is true.

Similarly,

-8=3(-4)+4

-8=-12+4

-8=-8

This statement is also true.

Therefore, (-4,-8) is a solution of the given system of equations, because the point satisfies both equations. Hence, the correct option is C.
