Katie is 6; Cathy is 18!

X- Katie’s age now and 3x -Cathys age now
In 6 years, Katie is 12 and Cathy is 24.

2 x (X+6) = 3x + 6
2x + 12 = 3x + 6
6 = x

Which two equations would be most appropriately solved by using the zero product property? Select each correct answer.
LekaFEV [45]
The zero product property tells us that if the product of two or more factors is zero, then each one of these factors CAN be zero.

For more context let's look at the first equation in the problem that we can apply this to: (x-3)(x+4)=0

Through zero property we know that the factor (x-3) can be equal to zero as well as (x+4). This is because, even if only one of them is zero, the product will immediately be zero.

The zero product property is best applied to factorable quadratic equations in this case.

Another factorable equation would be 2x^{2}+6x=0 since we can factor out 2x and end up with 2x(x+3)=0. Now we'll end up with two factors, 2x and (x+3), which we can apply the zero product property to.

The rest of the options are not factorable thus the zero product property won't apply to them.

Rewrite the given expression in the form 3^u where u is a constant or an algebraic expression.
lawyer [7]
Simplifying the given expressions we proceed as follows:
(5sqrt3)^x
=5^x*(3^1/2)^x
=5^x*3^x/2
=5^x3^u
where u=x/2


(1/2)^(x-3)
=1/2^(x-3)
=2^-(3-x)
=2^u
where u=-(3-x)

9/3sqrt(3)
=3/(3)^(1/2)
=3(3)^(-1/2)

16/(3sqrt (2^x))
=1/3*(2^4*2^(-x/2))
=1/3*2^(4-x/2)
=1/3*2^u
where:
u=4-x/2

In order to produce 100 oatmeal cookies, Goodie Cookie Co. incurs an average total cost of $0.25 per cookie. The company’s margi
amm1812

Answer:

Option D : $20

Step-by-step explanation:

The average total cost to produce 100 oatmeal cookie = $0.25 per cookie.

So, total cost for 100 cookies will be = 0.25\times100=25 dollars

The company’s marginal cost is constant at $0.10 for all oatmeal cookies produced.

When 50 cookies are produced, the marginal cost will be = 0.10\times50=5dollars

The total cost to produce 50 oatmeal cookies = 25-5=20 dollars

Hence, option D is correct.
