Answer: the height in inches, of the pile after 3 weeks is 34 11/12 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Each consecutive week for the next 5 weeks the height of pile increase by 8 7/12 inches. Converting 8 7/12 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 103/12 inches. The height is increasing in an arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as
Tn = a + (n - 1)d
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
d represents the common difference.
n represents the number of terms in the sequence.
From the information given,
a = 17 3/4= 71/4 inches
d = 103/12 inches
n = 3 weeks
the height in inches, of the pile after 3 weeks, T3. Therefore,
T3 = 71/4 + (3 - 1)103/12
T3 = 71/4 + 2 × 103/12 = 71/4 + 103/6
T3 = 419/12 inches = 34 11/12 inches
We have to round each whole number to the given place value.
We have to round the number 437 to the tens place.
Since the digit at the tens place is 3.
Since the digit at its previous place that is ones place is '7' which is greater than 5.
Therefore, we can round the number 437 to 440.
Now, consider the another number 64,328, we have to round this number to the nearest ten thousand place.
Since the digit at ten thousands place is 6.
And the digit at its previous place that is, at thousands place is 4.
Since this number is less than 5.
Therefore, the given number will round to 60,000.
To answer this item, we take the differential of the equation and equate to zero.
C(x) = 0.8x² - 256x + 25939
Differentiation,
dC(x) = 1.6x - 256
dC(x) = 1.6x - 256 = 0
The value of x from the derived equation above is 160.
Thus, the number of machine to be made in order to minimize the cost should be 160.
