Answer:

16 pencils and 17 glue sticks

Step-by-step explanation:

X=pencils

Y=glue sticks

X+Y=33

1.50X+2Y=58

times ten to get whole numbers

=15X+20Y=580

same for e1

=10X+10Y=330

15X+20Y=580

10X+10Y=330

elimination mthd

150X+200Y=5800

150X+150Y=4950

50Y= 850

<u>Y</u><u>=</u><u>1</u><u>7</u>

<u>X</u><u>+</u><u>17</u><u>=</u><u>3</u><u>3</u>

X=33-17

X=16

Choose the equation of the horizontal line that passes through the part point (1,-5)
vladimir2022 [97]
We know is a horizontal line, so, if it passes through 1,-5, it also passes through "whatever", -5, like 20, -5 or 1000000, -5, or -100000000, -5 and so on.

so, let's pick another point say -7, -5, check the picture below, and let's check about the equation that runs through it,

\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}&#10;&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\&#10;%  (a,b)&#10;&&(~ 1 &,& -5~) &#10;%  (c,d)&#10;&&(~ -7 &,& -5~)&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% slope  = m&#10;slope =  m\implies &#10;\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-5-(-5)}{-7-1}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{-5+5}{-7-1}\implies \cfrac{0}{-8}\implies 0&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% point-slope intercept&#10;\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-(-5)=0(x-1)&#10;\\\\\\&#10;y+5=0\implies y=-5

azamat

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

h(x) = x² – 5x + 7

h(-2) = (-2)² – 5(-2) + 7 =4+10+7 =21

h(-5) = (-5)² – 5(-5) + 7= 25+25+7 =57

h(-8) = (-8)² – 5(-8) + 7 = 64+40+7=111

The profit P (in thousands of dollars) for an educational publisher can be modeled by P 52b31 5b21b where b is the number of wor
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The lesser number of workbooks are 1,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

The profit P (in thousands of dollars) for an educational publisher can be modeled by P=-b³+5b²+b where b is the number of workbooks printed (in thousands). Currently, the publisher prints 5000 workbooks and makes a profit of $5000. What lesser number of workbooks could the publisher print and still yield the same profit?

we have

P=-b^3+5b^2+b  

For P=\$5,000

substitute in the equation and solve for b

Remember that the profit and the number of workbooks is in thousands

so

P=5

5=-b^3+5b^2+b

Using a graphing tool

Solve the cubic function

The solutions are

x=-1

x=1

x=5

therefore

The lesser number of workbooks are 1,000

<u><em>Verify</em></u>

For b=1

P=-(1)^3+5(1)^2+1  

P=5  -----> is in thousands

so

P=\$5,000 ----> is ok
