Answer:

y = 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

1. attendee = x

2. cost = y

3. for each attendee [x], you have $2 of cost, so for each 1 x, you have 2 as result

4. Thus, y = 2x

One positive number is 14 less than another positive number. If the reciprocal of the smaller number is added to five times the

Kipish [7]

Let's call the two numbers $s$ and $l$ .

Given these variables, we can say: $s = l - 14$ , based on the first sentence in the problem.

Also, remember that the reciprocal of a number is simply 1 divided by the number. Thus, we can say that:

$\dfrac{1}{s} + 5\Big( \dfrac{1}{l} \Big) = \dfrac{1}{4}$

To solve, we can simply substitute $l -14$ in for $s$ in the second equation and solve.

$\dfrac{1}{l - 14} + \dfrac{5}{l} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

Set up

$\dfrac{l}{l(l - 14)} + \dfrac{5(l - 14)}{l(l - 14)} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

Get terms on the left side to a common denominator for easier addition

$\dfrac{l + 5l - 70}{l(l - 14)} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

Simplify

$4(6l - 70) = l(l - 14)$

Cross multiplication ( $\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d} \Rightarrow ad = bc$ )

$24l - 280 = l^2 - 14l$

Simplify

$l^2 - 38l + 280 = 0$

Subtract $24l - 280$ from both sides of the equation

$(l - 10)(l - 28) = 0$

Factor left side of the equation

$l = 10, 28$

Zero Product Property

Now, notice that we have found two solutions, but the problem is only asking for one. This <em>likely </em>means that one of our solutions is extraneous. Let's take a look. Remember that the smaller positive number is equal to 14 less than the larger number. However,

$s = 10 - 14 = -4$ ,

Since $s$ is not positive in this case, $l = 10$ is not a solution.

Thus, $l = 28$ is our only solution. In this case,

$s = 28 - 14 = 14$ ,

which means that the smaller number is 14 and the larger number is 28.

82. A company spends x hundred dollars on an advertising

crimeas [40]

The company spends $649 on advertising

The sales function after advertising is given as:

$S(x) = 5 + 7\ln(x + 1)$

When the total sales is $19,100, we have S(x) = 19100

So, the sales function becomes

$5 + 7\ln(x + 1) = 19.1$

Subtract 5 from both sides

$7\ln(x + 1) = 14.1$

Divide both sides by 7

$\ln(x + 1) = 2.014$

Take exponents of both sides

$x + 1 = e^{2.014$

$x + 1 = 7.49$

Subtract 1 from both sides

$x= 6.49$

Hence, the company spends $649 on advertising
