ume of 100 feet and weighs 200 pounds. Hey cylindrical container has a volume of 200 ft.³ cubed and weighs 100 pounds. Each truck has room for at most 4200 ft.³ of containers and can carry a maximum of 4800 pounds.

the number of rectangular containers to maximze their income is 18 while the number of cylindrical containers to maximize income is 12.

The maximum income is $1740

Let x be the number of rectangular containers and y the number of cylindrical containers.

Since a rectangular container has a volume of 100 ft ³and weighs 200 pounds and a cylindrical container has a volume of 200 ft.³ and weighs 100 pounds, and each truck has room for at most 4200 ft.³ of containers and can carry a maximum of 4800 pounds,

We have that the maximum volume of the truck V = 100x + 200y.

Also, the maximum weight of the truck is W = 200x + 100y

Since V = 4200 ft.³  and W = 4800 pounds,

100x + 200y = 4200 and 200x + 100y = 4800

x + 2y = 42 (1) and 2x + y = 48 (2)

Multiplying (1) by 2 and (2) by 1, we have

2x + 4y = 84 (3) and 2x + y = 48 (4)

Subtracting (4) from (3), we have

2x + 4y = 84

-

2x + y = 48

3y = 36

y = 36/3

y = 12

Substituting y into (1), we have

x + 2y = 42

x + 2(12) = 42

x + 24 = 42

x = 42 - 24

x = 18

Also, since the shipping company charges $60 for a rectangular container and $55 for a cylindrical container, the income, P = 60x + 55y

Since x = 18 and y = 12, the maximum income is P = 60x + 55y

= 60(18) + 55(12)  

= 1080 + 660

= $1740

So, the number of rectangular containers to maximze their income is 18 while the number of cylindrical containers to maximize income is 12.

The maximum income is $1740

The box plots show the weights, in pounds, of the dogs in two different animal shelters.
zimovet [89]

*see attachment below for the box plots that is being referred to

Answer:

*The median weight for shelter A is greater than that for shelter B

*The data for shelter B are a symmetric data set

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take each stated option and examine the box plot to see which is TRUE or NOT.

OPTION 1: "The median weight for shelter A is greater than that for shelter B."

The median for shelter A = 21,

Median for shelter B = 18

Median weight for shelter A (21) is greater than that for shelter B.

This statement in this option is TRUE.

OPTION 2: "The median weight for shelter B is greater than that for shelter A."

Median for B (18) < median of A (21)

This statement in option is NOT TRUE.

OPTION 3: "The data for shelter A are a symmetric data set."

This is NOT TRUE because the length of both whiskers are unequal and also, the box is not divided equally. One side is longer than the other.

OPTION 4: "The data for shelter B are a symmetric data set."

This is TRUE because the length of both whiskers are relatively equal, and also, the rectangular box is divided equally.

OPTION 5: "The interquartile range for shelter A is 8"

This is NOT TRUE.

IQR = Q3-Q1

IQR for shelter A is approximately  = 28-17 = 11

The quadratic function f (x) = - 45x2 + 350x + 1,590 models the population of a city where x represents the number of years sinc
kramer

Answer: 2,215,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The quadratic function f (x) = - 45x^2 + 350x + 1,590 models the population of a city where x represents the number of years since 2005.

To Find:  population of the city in 2010

We need to put x= 2010-2005 = 5

f (5) = - 45(5)^2 + 350(5) + 1,590\\\\=-1125+1750+1590 =2215

Hence, the estimated population of the city in 201 = 2215 thousands or 2,215,000 .

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Her model is 37 times as tall as Ben's.

Step-by-step explanation:

70 11/12 ÷ 5 3/4

851/12 ÷ 23/4

851/12 x 4/23

37/1 x 1/1 = 37 times as tall
