Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

price of 1 pen= $ 2

price of 1 pencil= $1

total money spent= $12

Let the number of pen be a and number of pencil be b.

 2 a + b = 12   ----------------Equation 1

We have, she bought 3 more pens than pencils

  a - b = 3   ------------------  Equation 2

 Equation 1 +Equation 2,  

   2 a + b +  a - b = 12 + 3

                     3a = 15

                     a = 5

 Substituting in  equation

           5 - b = 3

               b = 2

 Number pencils Ava bought = 2

Suppose the Sunglasses Hut Company has a profit function given by P ( q ) = − 0.02 q 2 + 5 q − 30 , where q is the number of tho
Andrew [12]

Answer:

A) Pairs of sunglasses should be sold to maximize profits is 100 thousand.

B) The actual maximum profits that can be expected is 180 thousands dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Suppose the Sunglasses Hut Company has a profit function given by P(q)=-0.02q^2+4q-20

where, q is the number of thousands of pairs of sunglasses sold and produced and P(q) is the total profit, in thousands of dollars, from selling and producing q pairs of sunglasses.

To find :

A) How many pairs of sunglasses (in thousands) should be sold to maximize profits?

Profit is P(q)=-0.02q^2+4q-20

Compare with general quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c

a=-0.02, b=4, c=-20

The maximum value of quadratic function is at x=-\frac{b}{2a}

So, maximum profit occur at q is given by,

q=-\frac{4}{2(-0.02)}

q=\frac{4}{0.04}

q=100

i.e. 100 thousand pair of sunglasses.

Pairs of sunglasses should be sold to maximize profits is 100 thousand.

B) What are the actual maximum profits (in thousands) that can be expected?

Maximum profit occurs at q=100 thousand pairs is given by,

P(100)=-0.02(100)^2+4(100)-20

P(100)=-0.02\times 10000+400-20

P(100)=180

The actual maximum profits that can be expected is 180 thousands dollars.

Martin chose two of the cards below. When he found the quotient of the numbers, his answer was -16/9. Write the division problem
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The required division problem he must solve is:

\frac{2}{3} \div \frac{-3}{8} =\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{-8}{3}=\frac{-16}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Martin chose two of the cards below. When he found the quotient of the numbers, his answer was -16/9.

As we know that the quotient of the number is a negative number.

Therefore, the sign of both numbers must be different,

Thus we can concluded he must select \frac{2}{3} as one of the card, so that product is a negative number.

Let the selected card be x.

\frac{2}{3} \div x =\frac{-16}{9}\\\\x=\frac{2}{3}\div\frac{-16}{9}\\\\x=\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{-9}{16}\\\\x=\frac{-3}{8}

Hence, the two cards should be \frac{2}{3} and \frac{-3}{8}

The required division problem he must solve is:

\frac{2}{3} \div \frac{-3}{8} =\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{-8}{3}=\frac{-16}{9}
