Answer:

66 coolers

Step-by-step explanation:

C = 0.005x² - 0.3x + 17

When C = $19

19 = 0.005x² - 0.3x + 17

19 - 17 = 0.005x² - 0.3x

2 = 0.005x² - 0.3x

0.005x² - 0.3x - 2 = 0

x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a

= -(-0.3) ± √-0.3² - 4*0.005*-2 / 2*0.005

= 0.3 ± √ 0.09 - (-0.04) / 0.01

= 0.3 ± √ 0.09 + 0.04 / 0.01

= 0.3 ± √ 0.13 / 0.01

= 0.3/0.01 ± √0.13/0.01

= 30 ± 0.36/0.01

x = 30 ± 36

x = 30 + 36 or 30 - 36

x = 66 or -6

Number of coolers can not be negative

Therefore, number of coolers produced when the cost is $19

is 66 coolers

You are designing a rectangular garden. the garden will be enclosed by fencing on three sides and by a house on the fourth side.

RUDIKE [14]

Suppose the dimensions of the rectangle is x by y and let the side enclosed by a house be one of the sides measuring x, then the sides that is to be enclosed are two sides measuring y and one side measuring x.

Thus, the length of fencing needed is given by

P = x + 2y

The area of the rectangle is given by xy,

i.e.

$xy = 288 \\ \\ \\ \\ \Rightarrow y= \frac{288}{x}$

Substituting for y into the equation for the length of fencing needed, we have

$P=x+2\left( \frac{288}{x} \right)=x+ \frac{576}{x}$

For the amount of fencing to be minimum, then

$\frac{dP}{dx} =0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow1- \frac{576}{x^2} =0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{576}{x^2} =1 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x^2=576 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x=\sqrt{576}=24$

Now, recall that

$y= \frac{288}{x} = \frac{288}{24} =12$

Thus, the length of fencing needed is given by

P = x + 2y = 24 + 2(12) = 24 + 24 = 48.

Therefore, 48 feets of fencing is needed to enclose the garden.

If an airplane in a 1 in. : 4 ft. scale drawing is 5 in. long, how long is the actual airplane? Use proportions to solve the pro

Lunna [17]

Answer:

20ft

Step-by-step explanation:

20ft is the answer because you would do 4 x 5 = 20, since the scale factor is 1in : 4ft

Please help I need to know the rule in correspondence to the pattern?

trasher [3.6K]

You can see that an odd number of steps is simply multiplying the number of steps by a number that moves up one each time. For instance, 1*1, 3*2, 5*3, etc. It's a bit harder with the even numbers. Their pattern is multiplying half the number of steps by 1.5, but the ones place value moves up a number each time, for example, 2*1.5, 4*2.5, 6*3.5. This means that 10 steps is 10 * 5.5, or 55 blocks and that 100 is 5,050 steps.
