Sofia is working two summer jobs, making $12 per hour babysitting and making $8 per hour clearing tables. In a given week, she c

an work a maximum of 17 total hours and must earn a minimum of $180. If Sofia worked 14 hours babysitting, determine all possible values for the number of whole hours clearing tables that she must work to meet her requirements. Your answer should be a comma separated list of values. If there are no possible solutions, submit an empty answer.

The possible values for the number of whole hours clearing tables that she must work to meet her requirements is 2, 3 hours

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Amount earned in babysitting = $ 12 per hour

Amount earned in clearing tables = $ 8 per hour

In a given week, she can work a maximum of 17 total hours and must earn a minimum of $180

Sofia worked 14 hours babysitting

Therefore,

Amount earned at babysitting = 14 x 12 = 168

Thus, Sofia earned $ 168 at babysitting

Sofia must earn a minimum of $ 180

Remaining amount to be earned = 180 - 168 = 12

Thus, Sofia must earn $ 12 from clearing tables

Amount earned in clearing tables = $ 8 per hour

So, she must work for atleast 1.5 hours to get $ 12 from clearing tables

She can work a maximum of 17 total hours and Sofia worked 14 hours babysitting

Remaining is 17 - 14 = 3 hours

Thus possible values for the number of whole hours clearing tables that she must work to meet her requirements is 2 hours or 3 hours

stealth61 [152]

As can be read from your statement written "T, equals, start fraction, left parenthesis, d, minus, 15, right parenthesis, strt superscript, 2, end superscript, divided by, 300, end fraction, plus, 20", I hope your model equation is this :

$T = \frac{(d-15)^{2}}{300} + 20$

Hope this is your question, if not I think you will, still be able to find an answer of your question based on this solution

As we have to find lowest average temperature, So for minimum of a function its derivative is equal to 0 there.

So lets find derivative of T function first

So first expand $(d-15)^{2}$ as (d-15)(d-15)

we will use FOIL to multiply these

so $(d-15)(d-15) = d^{2} -15d -15d +225$

$= d^{2} -30d +225$

so we have $T = \frac{d^{2} -30d +225}{300} +20$

Now we will derivate each term here,300 in denominator is constant so that will come as it in in denominator.

To derivate terms in $dx^{2} -30d +225$ we will use power rule formula:

$(x^{n} )'= nx^{n-1}$

so derivative of $(d^{2} )'= 2d^{2-1} = 2d^{1} = 2d$

Then derivative of d will be 1

so that of -30d will be -30

then derivate of constant -225 will be 0

so we will have derivative as $\frac{2d-30}{300}$ for the fraction part and then derivative of +20 is again 0 as its constant term

$T' = \frac{2d-30}{300}$

For minimum we will put this derivative =0

$0 = \frac{2d-30}{300}$

Now solve for d

times both sides by 300

$0 \times 300 = \frac{2d-30}{300} \times 300$

$0 = 2d-30$

$0 +30 = 2d -30 +30$

$30 = 2d$

$\frac{30}{2} = \frac{2d}{2}$

$15 = d$

So now we have to find value of lowest temperature.

For that simply plug 15 in d place in original T function equation

$T = \frac{(d-15)^{2}}{300} + 20$

$T = \frac{(15-15)^{2}}{300} + 20$

$T = 20$

So T = 20 °C is the lowest average temperature and the answer.

The function C(t) below relates outside temperature in degrees Fahrenheit to the number of cricket chirps per minute. It takes a

vekshin1

T is a linear function of C ==> T = mC + b Each additional chirp C corresponds to an increase in T of 0.25 ==> m = 0.25 T = 52 when C = 20 ==> 52 = 0.25(20) + b ==> b = 52 - 5 = 47 So T = 0.25C + 47 When C = 100 then T = 0.25(100) + 47 = 25 + 47 = 72 When C = 120 then T = 0.25(120) + 47 = 30 + 47 = 77 so the temperature range is between 72 and 77 when there are between 100 and 120 chirps per minute

We know that

[surface area ]=2*[area of the base]+[perimeter of the base]*height
area of the base=10*8.7/2-----> 43.5 cm²
perimeter of the base=10*3----> 30 cm
height of the prism=15 cm
[surface area ]=2*[43.5]+[30]*15------->537 cm²

the answer is

EleoNora [17]

Given

Elysse paid for her sandwich and drink with a $10 bill and received $0.63 in change.

The sandwich cost $7.75 and sales tax was $0.47.

Find out the cost of her drink

To proof

Let the cost of her drink be x.

As given in the question

Elysse paid for her sandwich and drink with a $10 bill and received $0.63 in change.

Elysse paid for her sandwich and drink = 10 - 0.63

= $ 9.37

sandwich cost $7.75 and sales tax was $0.47

Than the equation becomes

x = 9.37 - (7.75 + 0.47)

x = 9.37 - 8.22

x = $ 1.15

The cost of the drink is $ 1.15.

Hence proved
