Answer:

Let bags of pecans cost = x

Make an equation :

Bags of almonds cost = x + 3 (they said almonds cost 3 dollars more)

Total number of bags ordered: (3 bags pecans) + (5 bags of almonds)

Cost for pecans = 3x

Cost for almonds = 5(x + 3) = 5x + 15

Price of pecans + price of almonds = total cost

Solve for x:

3x + 5(x + 3) = 55 (remove brackets)

3x + 5x + 15 = 55 (add like terms)

8x + 15 = 55

8x + 15 - 15 = 55 - 15 (get rid of the 15)

8x = 40

8x/8 = 40/8

x = 5

bags pecans cost is $5

bags of almonds is $5+$3 = $8

Solve for n. then find the value of m for each value of n<br> 8n=-3m+1
Eva8 [605]
Basically, solve for n, then find aanother tha is solve for m


8n=-3m+1
divide both sides by 8
n=-3/8m+1/8

and find m
8n=-3m+1
minus 1 both sides
8n-1=-3m
divide both sides by -3
-8/3n+1/3=m
m=-8/3n+1/3

Five applicants are to be scheduled for job interviews at five given times. On an application form, each applicant was asked to
dlinn [17]

Answer:

0.01024

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume marking was done at random : Hence, each of the 5 time slots have equal Chamves of being marked ;

Number of time slots, n = 5

Required to mark, number of preferred timeslot x = 2

P(x) = 2 /5 = 0.4

Probability of 0.4 that an interviewee gets one of his preferred timeslot.

Probability that each of the 5 interviewees gets one of their preferred time slots :

Using the multiplication rule of independence :

0.4 * 0.4 * 0.4 * 0.4 * 0.4 = 0.4^5 = 0.01024

0.01024 * 100% = 1.024%

Determine the location and values of the absolute maximum and absolute minimum of given function: f(x)= ( -x+2)^4, Where 0&lt;=x
jeyben [28]

Answer:

The absolute maximum and the absolute minimum are (0, 16) and (2, 0).

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we obtain the first and second derivatives of the function by chain rule and derivative for a power function, that is:

First derivative

f'(x) = -4\cdot (-x+2)^{3}

Second derivative

f''(x) = 12\cdot (-x + 2)^{2}

Then, we proceed to do the First and Second Derivative Tests:

First Derivative Test

-4\cdot (-x+2)^{3} = 0

-x + 2 = 0

x = 2

Second Derivative Test

f''(2) = 12\cdot (-2+2)^{2}

f''(2) = 0

The Second Derivative Test is unable to determine the nature of the critical values.

Then, we plot the function with the help of a graphing tool. The absolute maximum and the absolute minimum are (0, 16) and (2, 0).
