How to set the answer up

Korolek [52]

Let s and g represents the numbers of suits and gowns produced.

The number of zippers used is 2s+g.

The number of buttons used is 5s+8g.

In order to use all of the available zippers and buttons, we must have ...

2s + g = 171
5s + 8g = 576

Cramer's rule tells you the solution to the system

ax +by = c
dx +ey = f

Is given by

x = (bf-ey)/(bd-ea)
y = (cd-fa)/(bd-ea)

Using this rule on the equations for zippers and buttons, we have

... s = (1·576 -8·171)/(1·5 -8·2) = -792/-11 = 72

... g = (171·5 -2·576)/-11 = -297/-11 = 27

72 suits and 27 gowns can be made from available zippers and buttons.

7. Which of the following can be determined from the graph below?

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The ordered pair (6,25) is a solution to both

$y=-\frac{5}{2}x+40$ and $y=\frac{5}{3}x+15$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 7)

<em>step 1</em>

Find the equation of the line with positive slope

take the points (0,15) and (9,30)

<em>Find the slope</em>

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the given values

$m=\frac{30-15}{9-0}$

$m=\frac{15}{9}$

simplify

$m=\frac{5}{3}$

Find the equation of the line in slope intercept form

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=\frac{5}{3}$

$b=15$

substitute

$y=\frac{5}{3}x+15$

<em>step 2</em>

Find the equation of the line with negative slope

take the points (0,40) and (8,20)

<em>Find the slope</em>

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the given values

$m=\frac{20-40}{8-0}$

$m=-\frac{20}{8}$

simplify

$m=-\frac{5}{2}$

Find the equation of the line in slope intercept form

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=-\frac{5}{2}$

$b=40$

substitute

$y=-\frac{5}{2}x+40$

step 3

Find the solution of the system

we know that

The solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

The intersection point is (6,25) ----> see the graph

therefore

The ordered pair (6,25) is a solution to both $y=-\frac{5}{2}x+40$ and

$y=\frac{5}{3}x+15$

Directions: Using the digits 1 to 9, at most one time each, fill in the boxes to find the largest or smallest possible values fo

12345 [234]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

smallest: 8x -3 = 4; 1y +9 = 2. total = -49/8

largest: 1x -9 = 8; 2y +3 = 7. total = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

If we use variables to represent the box contents, we can write ...

ax -b = c
dy +e = f

Then the values of x and y are ...

x = (c +b)/a

y = (f -e)/d

For positive integer values of the variables, x will always be positive, and y may or may not be negative.

<h3>Smallest sum</h3>

For the sum to be the smallest, we must have x be as small as possible and the ratio (f-e)/d be as negative as possible.

x will be small for large 'a' and for (c+b) small. For y to be as negative as possible, we want 'd' and 'f' small and 'e' large. Best results are obtained for

8x -3 = 4 ⇒ x = 7/8
1y +9 = 2 ⇒ y = -7

For these coefficients, the sum is -6 1/8 = -49/8.

(note that the values of 'b' and 'c' can be swapped with no net effect)

<h3>Largest sum</h3>

For the sum to be the largest, we must have x as large as possible: (b+c) large and 'a' small. At the same time we must have y be positive and as large as possible: (f-e) positive and large, 'd' small. Best results are obtained for

1x -9 = 8 ⇒ x = 17
2y +3 = 7 ⇒ y = 2

For these coefficients, the sum is 19. Again, 'b' and 'c' can be swapped with no effect.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

These extreme values are verified by examination of the 60,480 possible permutations of the coefficients.
