Answer:

To make a profit of at least $500 she must sell at least 12 necklaces

Step-by-step explanation:

Joyce rented a booth at a carnival at a cost of $95 to sell handmade beaded necklaces. The cost of making and packaging each beaded necklace was $15. If Joyce sells the beaded necklaces at $35 each then we have to find beaded necklaces she sell to make a profit of at least $500.

The costs side of the equation, we have:

Let no. of necklaces that she sell are x

∴ The cost of making and packaging x beaded necklace is $15x

Total Cost = 95+15x

Now, Joyce sells the beaded necklaces at $35 each. Therefore, selling price will be $35x

To make a profit of at least $500 the equation can be written as

$95+15x+500\leq35x$

$595\leq50x$

⇒ $x\geq11.9=12$

Hence, to make a profit of at least $500 she must sell at least 12 necklaces

The coordinate plane below represents a town. Points A through F are farms in the town. graph of coordinate plane. Point A is at

gayaneshka [121]

I made my own graph using the given points. Pls. see attachment.

Part A: Using the graph above, create a system of inequalities that only contains points D and F in the overlapping shaded regions. Explain how the lines will be graphed and shaded on the coordinate grid above.

I used paint program to graph the points based on the given data.
I used a ruler as guide as I draw my line containing both points D and F and extended the line outward.
The yellow lines above represents the shaded portion of the graph.

y = mx + b

b is the y-intercept. It is the value of y when x is 0. In this case, b = 3.5
m is the slope. It is the change in y divided by the change in x.
point D (2,4) ; point F (-2,3)
change in y: 4 - 3 = 1
change in x: 2 - (-2) = 4
m = 1/4

y = 1/4 x + 3.5

Since we are looking for a system of inequality and the portion shaded is in the upper part of the line, the value of y will be greater than or equal to.

y ≥ 1/4x + 3.5

Part B: Explain how to verify that the points D and F are solutions to the system of inequalities created in Part A.

To check the solution given above. We will use the x values of points D and F and check whether its y values are equal to or greater than the solution.

y ≥ 1/4x + 3.5

Point D (2,4) : x = 2 : y ≥ 1/4 * 2 + 3.5 → 0.5 + 3.5 → 4
Point F (-2.3): x = -2 ; y ≥ 1/4 * -2 + 3.5 → -0.5 + 3.5 → 3

Part C: Chickens can only be raised in the area defined by y > 2x − 2. Explain how you can identify farms in which chickens can be raised.

y > 2x - 2

We will get the coordinates of each point and see if its x value will generate the desired value of y.

A(2,-3) ; x = 2 : y > 2(2) - 2 → 4 - 2 → 2 . DID NOT PASS. -3 is lesser than 2.
B(-3,-4) ; x = -3 : y > 2(-3) - 2 → -6 - 2 → -8. PASSED. -4 is greater than -8.
C(-4,2) ; x = -4 : y > 2(-4) - 2 → -8 - 2 → -10. PASSED. 2 is greater than -10.
D(2,4) ; x = 2 : y > 2(2) - 2 → 4 - 2 → 2. PASSED. 4 is greater than 2.
E(3,1) ; x = 3 : y > 2(3) - 2 → 6 - 2 → 4. DID NOT PASS. 1 is lesser than 4.
F(-2,3) ; x = -2 ; y > 2(-2) - 2 → -4 - 2 → -6. PASSED. 3 is greater than -6.

Among the farms, points B,C, D, and F can raise chickens based on the given system of linear inequality.

For part A the choices are 25 and 34 and for part b it is 2 and 10

diamong [38]

Answer:

Part A is 34

Part B is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

This question did provide some clues to answer this question. Every week, the area covered by the algae is multiplied by 2^1.

To find the area cover increase by the algae per day, the exponent should be divided by 7 since there are 7 days in a week. Hence, every day, the area covered by the algae multiplies by 2^(1/7). In other words, 1 day after the algae was spotted, the area is 12.5 * 2^(1/7), which answers part B.

10 days after the algae was spotted, the area covered by the algae is 12.5 * 2^[(1/7)*10] = 33.6475... , which rounds up to 34 and answers part A.
