( a )   The system of equations:
2 r + b = 8.40
3 r + b = 9.35
( b ) Graph is in the attachment.
( c )  Each item costs:
 b = $6.50,  r = $0.95
We can prove it:  2 * 0.95 + 6.50 = 8.40
3* 0.95 + 6.50 = 9.35

A cardboard box without a lid is to have a volume of 16,384 cm3. Find the dimensions that minimize the amount of cardboard used.
Reika [66]

Answer:

The dimensions that minimize the amount of cardboard used is

x = 31 cm ,  y = 34 cm & Z = 15.54 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the cardboard = 16,384 cm^{3}

The function that represents the area of the cardboard without a lid is given by

f (x,y,z) = xy + 2xz + 2yz ------  (1)

Volume of the cardboard with sides x, y & z is

xyz = 16384

z =  \frac{16384}{xy}

Put this value of z in equation (1) we get

f (x,y,z) = xy + 2x(\frac{16384}{xy} ) + 2y(\frac{16384}{xy} )

f (x,y,z) = xy + \frac{32768}{y}  + 2y(\frac{32768}{x} )

Differentiate above equation with respect to x & y we get

f_{x}  = y - \frac{32768}{x^{2} }

f_{y}  = x - \frac{32768}{y^{2} }

Take f_{x}  = 0 \ and  \ f_{y} = 0

y - \frac{32768}{x^{2} } = 0

y = 32768 \ x^{-2}  ------ (2)

x - \frac{32768}{y^{2} } = 0

x = 32768 \ y^{-2}  ------- (3)

By solving equation (2) & (3) we get

x^{3} = 32768

x = 31 cm

From equation 2

y = 32768 \ x^{-2}

y = 32768 (31^{-2})

y = 34 cm

z =  \frac{16384}{xy}

z =  \frac{16384}{(34)(31)}

Z = 15.54 cm

Thus the dimensions that minimize the amount of cardboard used is

x = 31 cm ,  y = 34 cm & Z = 15.54 cm

Someone help! you have 44 text messages in your inbox. How many messages can your cell phone hold? (and inbox is 88% full)
marin [14]
We can set up a proportion.

88% = 0.88

44/0.88 = x/1

Cross multiply:

0.88x = 44

Divide 0.88 to both sides:

x = 50

So your cell phone can hold 50 messages.

The table below shows the amount of lemon juice and sugar needed to make three different-sized batches of lemonade using the sam
mash [69]

Answer:

<u>j = 2.5s</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

                Lemon juice (mL)      Sugar (gr)

Batch A        500                             200

Batch B         750                             300

Batch C       1,500                             600

2. Write an equation to describe the relationship between j, the amount of lemon juice in mL, and s, the amount of sugar in g.

Ratio = Amount of lemon juice/Amount of sugar

Ratio = 500/200 = 750/300 = 1,500/600

Ratio = 2.5

Now, we can write the equation, this way:

<u>j = 2.5s</u>

Betty's bite-size candies are packaged in bags. The number of candies per bag is normally distributed, with a mean of 50 candies
Gala2k [10]
47 = 50 - 3   or:
47 = Mean - 1 Standard deviation
For normal distribution it means that 4 bags represent 16 % of all samples.
4 bags  ------ 16%
x bags  ------ 100 %
---------------------------
4 * 100 = x * 16
16 x = 400
x = 400 : 16
x = 25
Answer: 25 bags were probably taken as samples.
