Using linear functions, we have that:

A.

For Company A: S_A(n) = 31000 + 3000n

For Company B: S_B(n) = 38000 + 2000n

B. The salaries will be the same after 7 years.

A linear function is given by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the initial value.

Item a:

  • For Company A, the salary starts at $31,000, with a raise of $3,000 each year. Thus, b = 31000, m = 3000, and the salary after n years is given by:

S_A(n) = 31000 + 3000n

  • For Company B, the salary starts at $38,000, with a raise of $2,000 each year. Thus, b = 38000, m = 2000, and the salary after n years is given by:

S_B(n) = 38000 + 2000n

Item b:

  • They will be the same after n years, for which:

S_A(n) = S_B(n)

Then

31000 + 3000n = 38000 + 2000n

1000n = 7000

n = \frac{7000}{1000}

n = 7

The salaries will be the same after 7 years.

A florist must make 5 identical
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

A. 40x + 10y + 10z = $160

B. 8 Roses, 2 lilies and 2 irises

C.

1. 20x + 5y + 5z = $80

2. 4x + y + z = $16

3. 8x + 2y + 2z = $32

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost for each flower = $160/5 = $32

So we have $32 for each bouquet consisting of 12 flowers each.

Roses = x = $2.50 each

lilies = y = $4 each

irises = z = $2 each

8x + 2y + 2z = $32

8($2.50) + 2($4) + 2($2) = $32

$20 + $8 + $4 = $32

$32 = $32

a. Maximum budget is $160

40x + 10y + 10z = $160

40($2.50) + 10($4) + 10($2) = $160

$100 + $40 + $20 = $160

$160 = $160

b. From above

8x + 2y + 2z = $32

8 Roses, 2 lilies and 2 irises

c. No. There are other solutions If total cost is not limited

1. 20x + 5y + 5z

20($2.50) + 5($4) + 5($2)

$50 + $20 + $10

= $80

2. 4x + y + z

4($2.50) + $4 + $2

$10 + $4 + $2

= $16

3. 8x + 2y + 2z

8($2.50) + 2($4) + 2($2)

$20 + $8 + $4

= $32

1.A cube has side lengths of 15 inches, what is the surface area and volume of the cube? 2. A cube has side lengths of 8 inches,
omeli [17]

Answer:

Cube 1: 3375 cubed inches, 1350 inches squared.

Cube 2: 512 cubed inches, 384 inches squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for Volume of a Cube:  V=s^3\\ (s - side length)

Formula for Surface Area of a Cube: SA=6s^2 (s- side length)

<h3>For Cube 1:</h3>

The side length's 15 inches.

Find the volume:

V=15^3\\\rightarrow 15*15*15=3375\\\boxed {V=3375}

The volume of cube one is 3375in³.

Find the surface area:

SA=6(15)^2\\\rightarrow 15^2 = 225\\SA = 6 * 225\\\boxed {SA=1350}

The surface area of cube 1 is 1350in².

<h3>For Cube 2:</h3>

The side length's 8 inches.

Find the volume:

V=8^3\\\rightarrow 8*8*8= 512\\\boxed {V=512}

The volume of cube two is 512in³.

Find the surface area:

SA=6(8)^2\\\rightarrow 8^2=64\\SA=6*64\\\boxed {SA=384}

The surface area of cube 2 is 384in².
