Answer: 5p - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Brendan has six less than five times the number of pencils that Riley has.

P = the number of pencils Riley has.

The algebraic expression that represents the number of pencils Brendan has in terms of p, the number of pencils that Riley has would be:

= (5 × p) - 6

= 5p - 6

For example, if Riley has 5 pencils, the number of pencils that Brendan would have would be:

= 5p - 6.

= 5(5) - 6

= 25 - 6

= 19 pencils

The cost, C(x),for manufacturing x units of certain product Is given byC(x)=x^2-20x+35, find the units manufactured at a cost of
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

No units

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost function is given by;

C(x)=x^2-20x+35

To find the units manufactured at a cost of $5,560

We equate the C(x) to 5560 and solve for x.

x^2-20x+35 = 5560

x^2-20x+35 - 5560 = 0

x^2-20x - 5525= 0

The discriminant of this equation is negative.

That is,

d =  {( - 20)}^{2}  - 4 \times 1 \times  - 5560 \:  < 0

Hence the equation has no real roots.

This means no units can be produced at $5,560

I HAVE 1 MORE DAY TO TURN THIS IN SO HURRY
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Hello there! I am EnjoyingLife, and I hope you find my answer helpful.

First of all, since all books cost less than $5, the most expensive a book could be is $4.99 (remember, less than, not less than or equal to)

Now, let's write an inequality to represent the cost of books.

We know that all books cost less than $5.

We have a sign for "less than". It's "<"

Thus,

p<5

Hope it helps!

Have an awesome day!

Good luck!
