The cost for two different companies to make x candles is shown on the graph.

Mathematics

Answer:

D) Quick Wick will make more candles when the cost is $600.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the initial value (b) and the cost per candle (m), to write the equation of each line in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. This will help for easy comparison.

✔️Wax Art:

m = change in y/change in x

Using (10, 140) and (20, 180),

m = (180 - 140)/(20 - 10) = 40/10

m = 4

Cost per candle = $4

To find b, substitute (x, y) = (10, 140) and m = 4 into y = mx + b

140 = 4(10) + b

140 = 40 + b

140 - 40 = b

100 = b

b = 100

Initial value = $100

To get the equation, substitute m = 4 and b = 100 into y = mx + b

y = 4x + 100

✔️Quick Wick:

m = change in y/change in x

Using (10, 120) and (30, 180),

m = (180 - 120)/(30 - 10) = 60/20

m = 3

Cost per candle = $3

To find b, substitute (x, y) = (10, 120) and m = 3 into y = mx + b

120 = 3(10) + b

140 = 30 + b

120 - 30 = b

90 = b

b = 90

Initial value = $90

To get the equation, substitute m = 3 and b = 90 into y = mx + b

y = 3x + 90

Let's analyse each option given using the information we now have:

✔️Option A: INCORRECT

Cost per candle for made is $1 less for Quick Wick. I.e. cost per candle for Quick wick is $3. Cost per candle for Wax Art is $4.

✔️Option B: INCORRECT

Difference between the initial value sof the two companies = $100 - $90 = $10

✔️Option C:

Find the cost of making 50 candles for each company by substituting x = 50 into each of their equations. Thus:

Wax Art => y = 4x + 100

y = 4(50) + 100

y = $300

Wax Art will make 50 candles for $300

Quick Wick => y = 3x + 90

y = 3(50) + 90

y = $240

Quick Wick makes 50 candles for $240

As we can see, Quick wick is making 50 candles at a lower cost than Wax Art.

Therefore, option C is INCORRECT.

✔️Option D: find out how many candles (x) each company will make when the cost is $600.

Substitute y = 600 in each equation of both companies

Wax Art => y = 4x + 100

600 = 4x + 100

600 - 100 = 4x

500 = 4x

500/4 = x

x = 125 candles

Quick Wick => y = 3x + 90

600 = 3x + 90

600 - 90 = 3x

510 = 3x

510/3 = x

x = 170 candles

Quick Wick will make more candles when he cost is $600.

Therefore, option D is the only CORRECT statement of comparison.

The histogram represents the distributions of essay scores for high school sophomores and juniors in a contest. Which statements
Ket [755]

Answer:

B,C, and E

Step-by-step explanation:

A histogram is a graphical illustration of information in bars of diverse heights. A histogram displays the shape and spread of continuous sample data. The true statements about the data essay scores for high school sophomores and juniors in a contest are; the juniors tended to have higher essay scores than the sophomores, the medians of both data sets are equal and the histogram is the best way to show that both distributions are nearly symmetric.

The following function represents the profit P(n), in dollars, that a concert promoter makes by selling tickets for n dollars ea
Gre4nikov [31]
A) zeroes

P(n) = -250 n^2 + 2500n - 5250

Extract common factor:

P(n)= -250 (n^2 - 10n + 21)

Factor (find two numbers that sum -10 and its product is 21)

P(n) = -250(n - 3)(n - 7)

Zeroes ==> n - 3 = 0  or n -7 = 0
Then n = 3 and n = 7 are the zeros.

They rerpesent that if the promoter sells tickets at 3  or 7 dollars the profit is zero.

B) Maximum profit

Completion of squares

n^2 - 10n + 21 = n^2 - 10n + 25 - 4 = (n^2 - 10n+ 25) - 4 = (n - 5)^2 - 4

P(n) = - 250[(n-5)^2 -4] = -250(n-5)^2 + 1000

Maximum ==> - 250 (n - 5)^2 = 0 ==> n = 5 and P(5) = 1000

Maximum profit =1000 at n = 5

C) Axis of symmetry

Vertex = (h,k) when the equation is in the form A(n-h)^2 + k

Comparing A(n-h)^2 + k with - 250(n - 5)^2 + 1000

Vertex = (5, 1000) and the symmetry axis is n = 5.

If f(y) = 2y - 2/5,<br> what is f(f^-1(1024))?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

-0.399

Step-by-step explanation:

f^-1(1024)=(2*1024-2/5)^-1= 0.000488

f(0.000488)=2*0.000488-2/5= -0.399

A square has a perimeter of 52cm , what is the area ?
UNO [17]

✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧

                  Hello!

✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧

❖ The area is 169 square cm.

Find the value of each side (a square has 4 sides so divide by 4 ):

52/4 = 13

To find the area of a square, you only need 2 sides so multiply 2 sides:

13 x 13 = 139

Area = 139 square cm
