Answer:

1,680 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can create a proportion using this setup:

grams/people=grams/people

The recipe needs 480 grams for 4 people and x (unknown-what we are trying to find) grams for 14 people.

480 grams/4 people=x grams/14

480/4=x/14

Now, we have to solve for x-the grams needed for 14 people. To do this, we have to get x by itself. x is being divided by 14. To undo this, multiply both sides by 14, because multiplication is the opposite of division.

14(480/4)=(x/14)14

14(480/4)=x

14*120=x

1680=x

She needs 1,680 grams of couscous for 14 people.

A small manufacturer constructs refrigerators. The fixed monthly cost is $200,000, and it costs $450 to produce one refrigerator

kaheart [24]

Answer: Horizontal asymptote of c(x) is 450.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost to produce one refrigerator = $450

Fixed monthly cost = $200,000

So, Average cost function to produce x refrigerators is given by

$c(x)=\dfrac{200000+450x}{x}$

Horizontal asymptote of c(x) would be

$\dfrac{450x}{x}\\\\=450$

Hence, Horizontal asymptote of c(x) is 450.

a square painting has an area of 81x^2-90x-25. A second square painting has an area of 25x^2+30x+9. What is an expression that r

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The answer in the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

A1 ------> the area of the first square painting

A2 ----> the area of the second square painting

D -----> the difference of the areas

we have

$A1=81x^{2}-90x-25$

$A2=25x^{2}+30x+9$

case 1) The area of the second square painting is greater than the area of the first square painting

The difference of the area of the paintings is equal to subtract the area of the first square painting from the area of the second square painting

D=A2-A1

$D=(25x^{2}+30x+9)-(81x^{2}-90x-25)$

$D=(-56x^{2}+120x+34)$

case 2) The area of the first square painting is greater than the area of the second square painting

The difference of the area of the paintings is equal to subtract the area of the second square painting from the area of the first square painting

D=A1-A2

$D=(81x^{2}-90x-25)-(25x^{2}+30x+9)$

$D=(56x^{2}-120x-34)$

A street lamp casts a shadow 31.5 feet long, while an 8 foot-tall street sign casts a shadow of 14 feet long. What is the length

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the height of the lamp is 18.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Street lamp shadow = 31.5 ft

Street sign height = 8 ft

Street sign shadow = 14 ft

Street lamp height = x

Process

1.- To find the height of the lamp use proportions. In this kind of problem, we do not look for the length, but the shadow.

Street lamp height/street lamp shadow = street sign height/street sign

shadow

Substitution

x / 31.5 = 8 / 14

Solve for x

x = (31.5)(8) / 14

Simplification

x = 254.4 / 14

Result

x = 18.2 ft
