A lawn seed mixture contains three types of seed: bluegrass, rye, and Bermuda. The costs per pound of the three types of seed ar

e 12 cents, 14 cents, and 3 cents, respectively. In each batch there must be at least 25% bluegrass seed, and the amount of Bermuda must be no more than 2/3 the amount of rye. To fill current orders, the company must make at least 6000 pounds of the mixture. How much of each kind of seed should be used to minimize cost

Answer:

612 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Amount of the total mixture = 6000 pounds

Also, for each batch, there needs to be at least 25% bluegrass seed.

It implies that:

In 6000 pounds, there are (25×6000)/100 = 1500 pounds of bluegrass seed.

The remaining amount of (6000 - 1500 = 4500)pounds will be for rye and Bermuda.

Suppose the amount of rye seeds = x pounds

while that of Bermuda is (4500 - x) pounds

Then, since the amount of Bermuda contains no more than 2/3 of that of rye.

The equation can be written as:

( 4500 - x) = \dfrac{2x}{3}

13500 - 3x = 2x

13500 = 5x

x = \dfrac{13500}{5}

x = 2700

Now, the amount of rye seed = 2700 pounds

while that of Bermuda seed = 4500 - 2700 = 1800 pounds

However, For Bluegrass, we are told that the cost of 1 pound is 12 cents.

So, the cost of 1500 bluegrass seeds = 12 × 1500 = 18000 cents

For rye seed; cost of 1 pound = 14 cents

the cost of 2700 rye seeds = 14 × 2700 = 37800 cents

For Bermuda seed; cost of 1 pound = 3 cents

the cost of 1800 rye seeds = 3 × 1800 = 5400 cents

The total amount = (18000 + 37800 + 5400) = 61200 cents

Recall that:

100 cents = 1 dollars

61200 cents = x dollars

x = 61200 cents/100 cents

x = 612 dollars

Thus, the minimum cost is 612 dollars.

N76 [4]

Answer:

a)g: 3x + 4y = 10   b) a:x+y = 5           c) c: 3x + 4y = 10

h: 6x + 8y = 5         b:2x + 3y = 8         d: 6x + 8y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Has no solution

g: 3x + 4y = 10

h: 6x + 8y = 5

Above Equations  gives  you  parallel lines refer attachment

b) has exactly one solution

a:x+y = 5

b:2x + 3y = 8

Above Equations  gives  you  intersecting lines refer attachment

c) has infinitely many solutions

c: 3x + 4y = 10

d: 6x + 8y = 5

Above Equations  gives  you  collinear lines refer attachment

i) if we add   x + 2y = 1 to equation x + y = 5 to make an inconsistent system.

ii) if we add   x + 2y = 3 to equation x + y = 5 to create infinitely system.

iii) if we add  x + 4y = 1 to equation x + y = 5 to create infinitely system.

iv) if we add to x + y =5 equation x + y = 5  to change the unique solution you had  to a different unique solution

What are the critical values for a two-tailed test with a 0.01 level of significance when n is large and the population standard
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
For a two-tailed test we need to halve 0.01, giving 0.005. Then we need to sutract 0.005 from 0.5, giving 0.5 - 0.005 = 0.495. Looking up the p value of 0.495 in an inverse normal probability table we obtain the value z = 2.5758. Therefore the critical values are -2.5758 and 2.5758.

If a 10 symbol sequence is sent through the channel,what is the probability that up to 3 symbols are in error out of the 10trans
lina2011 [118]

Answer: 0.171887

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that S0 and S1 are binary symbol of equal probabilty;

P(S0) = P(S1) = 0.5

This probability is a Binomial random variable of sequence Sn, where Sn counting the number of success in a repeated trials.

P(Sn =X) = nCx p^x (1-p)^(n-1)

Pr(at most 3) = P(0<= x <=3) = P(X=0) + 0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2) + P(X=3)

Since there are only 2 values that occur in sequence 0 and 1 ( or S0 and S1).Let the distribution be given by the sequence (0111111111),(1011111111),(11011111111),...(1111111110) for Sn= 1 is the sequence for 1 error.

10C0, 10C1, 10C2, and 10C3 is the number of sequences in value for X= 0, 1, 2, 3 having value 0 and others are 1. Let the success be p(S0)=0.5 and p(S1)= 0.5

P(0<= X <=3) = 10C0 × (0.5)^0 × (0.5)^10 + 10C1× (0.5)¹ × (0.5)^9 + 10C2 × (0.5)² × (0.5)^8 + 10C3(0.5)³(0.5)^7

= 1 × (0.5)^10 + 10 × (0.5)^10 + 45 × (0.5)^10 + 120 × (0.5)^10

=0.000977 + 0.00977 + 0.04395 + 0.11719

= 0.171887

Help and show explanation please
Dennis_Churaev [7]
The picture can be divided into 2 same triangles and one rectangular.

The triangle areas is {1/2 *base * height}*2 (because 2 same triangles)

and you need to sum rectangular area (width * base).
The result will be area of 2 triangle +area of rectangular.
=2(1/2*base of triangle* height)+ (base of rectangular * height)
= (base of triangle* height)+(base of rectangular * height)
=(base of triangle +base of rectangular)*height

b1 is top length
b2 is bottom length, and so

Base of triangle =(b1-b2/2)
Base of rectangular =b2
Height =h
Thus A ={(b1-b2/2)+b2 }*h
A= [(b1+b2)/2]*h
