Help. I can’t seem to figure out how to get the answer.

Answer:

  15. 80 benches

  16. 45 cost units

Step-by-step explanation:

The two problems together are asking you to find the coordinates of the vertex of the cost function. To do this you can use the procedure for writing a quadratic in vertex form.

  C(x) = 0.1x^2 -16x +685

  = 0.1(x^2 -160x) +685 . . . . . . factor out the leading coefficient

  = 0.1(x^2 -160x +6400) +685 -(0.1)(6400) . . . add and subtract 0.1(6400)

  C(x) = 0.1(x -80)² +45 . . . cost function in vertex form

__

<h3>15.</h3>

The number of benches that minimizes the cost function is the x-coordinate of the vertex. That is the value that makes the square equal to zero.

  x = 80 . . . benches

__

<h3>16.</h3>

The minimum value of the cost function is the value obtained when the squared term is zero:

  C(80) = 0.1(80 -80)² +45

  C(80) = 45

The minimum cost per bench is 45. (The problem statement gives no units for cost. It could be pesos, or millions of rubles. We can't tell.)

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The square of a binomial is ...

  (x +a)² = x² +2ax +a²

You will notice that the constant (a²) is the square of half the x-coefficient. To "complete the square", we put the equation in a form where we have (x² +2ax) in parentheses. Then we divide the x-coefficient by 2, and add its square inside parentheses: (x² +2ax +a²) and rewrite to the form of a square: (x +a)².

In order to keep the expression the same, we must subtract the same quantity elsewhere in the equation. Outside parentheses, it must be multiplied by the coefficient in front of the parentheses. In the above, we added (0.1)(6400) and subtracted (0.1)(6400) so that we could rearrange the cost function to vertex form: a(x -h)² +k has vertex (h, k).

__

We find a graphing calculator to be an extremely handy tool for dealing with polynomial functions. The attached shows the graph of the cost function. The calculator marks the vertex for us. Since it is a plot of cost versus number of benches, the units of the vertex are (benches, cost units).

Answer each question below.
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf L = 78\°}

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Given that:</u></h3>

Exterior angle of L = 5x + 12

M = 3x - 2

N = 50

<h3><u>Statement:</u></h3>
  • Exterior angle is equal to the sum of non-adjacent interior angles.

So, the exterior angle that is adjacent to L is equal to the sum of non-adjacent sides (M and N) of the triangle.

Here,

Exterior angle of L = M + N

5x + 12 = 3x - 2 + 50

5x + 12 = 3x + 48

Subtract 12 to both sides

5x = 3x + 48 - 12

5x - 3x = 36

2x = 36

Divide 2 to both sides

x = 18

So,

<h3><u>Measure of angle M:</u></h3>

= 3x - 2

= 3 (18) - 2

= 54 - 2

= 52°

Now,

<h3><u>Measure of angle L:</u></h3>

<u>We know that,</u>

  • Sum of all the interior angles of triangle is 180 degrees.

L + M + N = 180°

L + 52 + 50 = 180

L + 102 = 180

Subtract 102 to both sides

L = 180 - 102

L = 78°

What times what equals 59
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
<span>The answer is 1 and 59. Number 59 is a prime number. That means that it has only two positive whole number factors - one and itself. Therefore, number 59, as the prime number, has two factors - 1 and 59. In other words, 1 times 59 equals 59.</span>
