Ben is decorating his home with vases of flowers. He bought glass vases that cost $22 each and ceramic vases that cost $14 each.

The total cost of the vases came to more than $172. Also, Ben bought no more than 10 vases in all.
Which system of inequalities can be used to determine the number of glass vases, x, and the number of ceramic vases, y, that Ben could have bought?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 10

22x + 14y = 172

-22x - 22y = -220

22x + 14y = 172

-8y = - 48

y = 6 ceramic vases

x + 6 = 10

x = 4 glass vases

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of glass vases x=22 $

cost of ceramic vases y=$14

22x+14y >172

or 11x+7y>86

x+y≤10

x y 11x+7y

1 9 11+63=74

2 8 22+56=78

3 7 33+49=82

4 6 44+42=86

_________________

5 5 55+35=90

6 4 66+28=94

7 3 77+21=98

8 2 88+14=102

9 1 99+7=106

he can buy glass vases in the following combinations .

(x,y)→(5,5),(6,4),(7,3),(8,2),(9,1)

1000 was invested at 5.5% interest, compounded annually. After sometime the amount had grown to 1550. How long was the money inv

scZoUnD [109]

compound interest equation for annually compounded

$A=P(1+r)^t$

A=final amount

P=principal

r=rate in decimal

t=time in years

given that

A=1550

P=1000

r=5.5%=0.055

find t

$1550=1000(1+0.055)^t$

divide both sides by 1000

$1.55=1.055^t$

take ln of both sides

$ln(1.55)=ln(1.055^t)$

use ln rule $ln(a^b)=b(ln(a))$

$ln(1.55)=t(ln(1.055))$

divide both sides by ln(1.055)

$\frac{ln(1.55)}{ln(1.055)}=t$

using a calculator, we get that t=8.18544 yrs

so about 8.2yrs

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:265.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Volume of box $=12 m^3$

height is 3 times the width

let height, length and breadth be H, L & B

$H=3\times B$

$V=12=L\times B\times H$

4=B^2\times L[/tex]

$L=\frac{4}{B^2}$

Cost of side walls $ $8/m^2$

Cost of base $ $12/m^2$

Cost of side walls $=(2LH+2BH)\cdot 8$

Cost of base $=12LB$

Total cost $C=16LH+16BH+12LB$

$C=48LB+48B^2+12LB$

$C=\frac{192}{B}+48B^2+\frac{48}{B}$

differentiate C w.r.t B to get minimum cost

$\frac{\mathrm{d} C}{\mathrm{d} B}=-\frac{192}{B^2}+2\times 48 B-\frac{48}{B^2}$

$B^3=\frac{240}{2\times 48}$

$B=1.35 m$

$H=3\times 1.35=4.07 m$

L=2.19 m

C=$ 265.25
