Solution:

<u>Note that:</u>

Men:Woman = 3:2
54 women = Total woman in a company

<u>3:2 can also be written as 3x:2x.</u>

=> Men:54 = 3x:2x
=> 54 = 2x
=> x = 27
=> Men = 3x
=> Men = 3(27) = 81
=> Total employees: 81 + 54
=> Total employees: 135

There are 135 employees in total.

3x+5x=176

8x=176

x=176/8

x=22

3*22= 66 men

5*22= 110 women

Answer:

T = 530N + 250

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first plan, Heather will deposit $250 and then save $135 per month.

So, that is 250 + (135 x N) where N is the number of months she saves the $135.

So if it is for 3months,

We will have:

t¹ = 135N + 250

= 250 + (135 x 3)

= 250 + 405

= $655

For the second plan, there is no initial deposit, but she will save $395 per month.

That is 395 x N

t² = 395N

For 3months, we have 395 x 3 = $1185

Therefore the total for both plans in 3months = 655 + 1185 = $1840

Equation relating T to N

T = t¹ + t²

T = (135N + 250) + 395N

T = 135N + 250 + 395N

T = 530N + 250

If f(z)= sqrt z2+8z , then how much does f(z) increase as z goes from 7 to 8?

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(7)=\sqrt{7^2+8*7}=\sqrt{49+56}=\sqrt{105} \approx 10.247\\f(8)=\sqrt{8^2+8*8}=\sqrt{128}=8\sqrt{2} \approx 11.314\\f(8)-f(7)=11.314-10.247=1.067 \approx 1.07$
