Sam is thinking of retiring from his job after many years of faithful service. During the last 35 years at his job, his annual s

alary averages to $37,991. Every month, his bills total $1,755. How much money would Sam need each month to supplement his monthly Social Security benefit (assuming his annual benefit is 42% of his salary average) and still be able to pay his bills?

Annual Social Security benefit = 0.42 x $37,991 = $15,956.22
Annual bills = $1,755 x 12 = $21,060
Outstanding annual bill to be settled after using the Social Security benefit = $21,060 - $15,956.22 = $5,103.78
Monthly supplementary money needed = $5,103.78/12 = $425.32

The table shows some values of a function of the form y = ax2 + bx + c.
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Value of constant term c is (-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given table represents a function which is in the form of a quadratic equation,

y = ax² + bx + c

We choose three points (3, -10), (4, -16) and (5, -24) from the table and satisfy the equation to get the values of a, b, and c.

For point (3, -10)

-10 = a(3)² + 3b + c

9a + 3b + c = -10 -------(1)

For point (4, -16)

-16 = a(4)² + 4b + c

16a + 4b + c = -16 ------(2)

For point (5, -24)

-24 = a(5)² + 5b + c

25a + 5b + c = -24 -----(3)

Equation (1) - equation (2)

(9a + 3b + c) - (16a + 4b + c) = -10 + 16

-7a - b = 6

7a + b = -6 ------(4)

Equation (2) - equation (3)

(16a + 4b + c) - (25a + 5b + c) = -16 + 24

-9a - b = 8

9a + b = -8 -------(5)

Equation (4) - Equation (5)

(7a + b) - (9a + b) = -6 + 8

-2a = 2

a = -1

From equation (4),

-7(1) + b = -6

b = -6 + 7

b = 1

From equation (1)

9(-1) + 3(1) + c = -10

-9 + 3 + c = -10

c = -10 + 6

c = -4

Therefore, the value of constant term c is (-4).

You have a budget of $48. You want to buy fruit and granola bars. Fruit costs $4 per pound, and the granola bars are $1 each. Yo
zzz [600]

1)Define the variables you will use in your model.

Let

x------->total pounds of the fruit

y-------> the total number of granola bars

TC----> total cost

Tf------> total cost of the fruit

Tg----> total cost of the granola bars

2) Write an inequality representing the total cost of your purchase. (3 points)

a. Each pound of fruit costs $4. Write an expression that shows the total cost of the fruit. Use the variable you identified in question 1

Tf=4*x

b. Each granola bar costs $1. Write an expression that shows the total cost of the granola bars. Use the variable you identified in question 1.

Tg=1*y--------> Tg=y

c. Combine the expressions from parts a and b to write an expression for the total cost. Then use this expression to write an inequality that compares the total cost with the amount you have to spend.

TC=Tf+Tg

TC=4*x+y

inequality-------> 4x+y \leq 48

3. Write the inequality that models the number of granola bars you need to buy.

You need at least 10 granola bars

so

y\geq 10

4. Describe in words what each of your inequalities means

inequality 1

4x+y \leq 48

the total cost of fruits plus the total cost of granola bars must be less than or equal to 48 dollars

inequality 2

y\geq 10

5. Graph your system of inequalities.

using a graph tool

see the attached figure

6. Identify one point on the graph that represents a viable solution to the problem, and then identify one point that does not represent a viable solution.

Let

A-------> one point on the graph that represents a viable solution

B-------> one point on the graph that does not represent a viable solution

A(4,20)

x=4-------> total pounds of the fruit

y=20------> the total number of granola bars

check point A

substitute the values of x and y in the inequality 1

4x+y \leq 48

4*4+20\leq 48\\ 36\leq 48-------> is ok

substitute the values of x and y in the inequality 2

y\geq 10

20\geq 10--------> is ok

the point A represents a viable solution, because satisfies both inequalities

B(10,30)

x=10-------> total pounds of the fruit

y=30------> the total number of granola bars

check point B

substitute the values of x and y in the inequality 1

4x+y \leq 48

4*10+30\leq 48\\ 70\leq 48-------> is not a viable solution

substitute the values of x and y in the inequality 2

y\geq 10

30\geq 10--------> is ok

the point B is not a viable solution because does not satisfy the inequality 1

Interpret the graph to determine the statement the manager at a building supply store can use to help a customer determine how m
svp [43]

Answer:

Each gallon of primer will cover a maximum of 200 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-axis of the graph is the area to paint in square feet.  The y-axis of the graph is the number of gallons of primer needed.

We can see that 1 gallon of primer covers from 0 to 200 feet; 2 gallons of primer covers from 200 to 400 feet; etc.

This tells us that each gallon of primer covers a maximum of 200 square feet.

What is the ratio of the afternoon to morning temperatures shown in the table? Temperatures Morning Afternoon 15 degrees. 30 deg
Nikitich [7]

Given:

Morning Temperature = 15 degrees, Afternoon Temperature = 30 degrees

Morning Temperature = 20 degrees, Afternoon Temperature = 40 degrees

Morning Temperature = 26 degrees, Afternoon Temperature = 52 degrees

To find:

The ratio of the afternoon to morning.

Solution:

Taking any one pair of morning and afternoon temperature, we can find the ratio.

Morning Temperature = 15 degrees

Afternoon Temperature = 30 degrees

\text{Ratio}=\dfrac{\text{Afternoon Temperature}}{\text{Morning Temperature}}

\text{Ratio}=\dfrac{30}{15}

\text{Ratio}=\dfrac{2}{1}

\text{Ratio}=2:1

Therefore, the correct option is C.
