Carson is a high school student with two part-time jobs. He earns $6 per hour for babysitting, and he earns $8 per hour doing cl

erical work for his father's business. His goal is to earn at least $96 a week, but because of school, he does not want to work more than 15 hours each week. Suppose Carson worked as a babysitter for 5 hours one week. What is the minimum number of full hours he would need to work at his father's business to earn at lease $96 that week?

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

let the hours for babysitting be x

and the hours for doing clerical be y

we are told that Carson would like to earn $96 weekly

She babysits for $6 per hour

and earned $8 per hour doing clerical work

6x+8y=96---------------1

Carson cannot work more than a total of 15 hours per week

5x+y≤15-------------2

The system of equation for the situation is

6x+8y=96

5 x+y≤15

y=15-5 x

put y=15-5 x in eqn 1

6x+8(15-5 x)=96

6x+120-40x=96

collect like terms

6x-40x=96-120

-34x=-24

x=24/34

x=0.7

Approximately 1 hour babysitting

put x= 0.7 in 5x+y≤15

5(0.7)+y≤15

3.52+y≤15

y≤15-3.52

y=11.4

Approximately 11 hours doing clerical work

A bakery wants to determine how many trays of doughnuts it should prepare each day. Demand is normal with a mean of 5 trays and

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

4 trays should he prepared, if the owner wants a service level of at least 95%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 5

Standard Deviation, σ = 1

We are given that the distribution of demand score is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

P(X > x) = 0.95

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.95

P(X > x)

$P( X > x) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{x - 5}{1})=0.95$

$= 1 -P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 5}{1})=0.95$

$=P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 5}{1})=0.05$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$\displaystyle\frac{x - 5}{1} = -1.645\\x = 3.355 \approx 4$

Hence, 4 trays should he prepared, if the owner wants a service level of at least 95%.

Which of the following describes the following graph?

pychu [463]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is B. both a function and a relation.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given a from from which we can see that for each input we have exactly one output.

This means that we have a function because each element in the domain is matched with exactly one element in the range.

It is also a relation since each input related to the out put in some way.

Therefore, the correct answer option is B. both a function and a relation,

How do you find the f(x) inverse using fractions?

fenix001 [56]

For example.. 1) switch places of x and y. x=3y+1 x=3 y +1
2) try to solve for y. so multiply the denominator by x to get rid of it
3) after multiplying, ur left with xy+x=3 x y + x=3
4) that converts to 2xy= x y =3
5) get rid of 2x on left by placing it on the right
6) convert y to inverse function

What is the result of a dilation of scale factor 3 centered at the origin of the line 2y + 3x=10?? PLEASE HELP PLEASEEEEEEEEE

maks197457 [2]

Given:

The equation of a line is:

$2y+3x=10$

The line is dilated by factor 3.

To find:

The result of dilation.

Solution:

The equation of a line is:

$2y+3x=10$

For $x=0$ ,

$2y+3(0)=10$

$2y+0=10$

$y=\dfrac{10}{2}$

$y=5$

For $x=2$ ,

$2y+3(2)=10$

$2y+6=10$

$2y=10-6$

$2y=4$

Divide both sides by 2.

$y=\dfrac{4}{2}$

$y=2$

The given line passes through the two points A(0,5) and B(2,2).

If the line dilated by factor 3 with origin as center of dilation, then

$(x,y)\to (3x,3y)$

Using this rule, we get

$A(0,5)\to A'(3(0),3(5))$

$A(0,5)\to A'(0,15)$

Similarly,

$B(2,2)\to B'(3(2),3(2))$

$B(2,2)\to B'(6,6)$

The dilated line passes through the points A'(0,15) and B'(6,6). So, the equation of dilated line is:

$y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

$y-15=\dfrac{6-15}{6-0}(x-0)$

$y-15=\dfrac{-9}{6}(x)$

$y-15=\dfrac{-3}{2}x$

Multiply both sides by 2.

$2(y-15)=-3x$

$2y-30=-3x$

$2y+3x=30$

Therefore, the equation of the line after the dilation is $2y+3x=30$ .
