Answer:

7 cups of flour

reason:

to find how much flour is needed, first you need to combine the two fractions.
to add the fractions, you first have to find a common denominator, which in this case is 15
multiply 1/5 by 3 to get 3/15, and 2/3 by 5 to get 10/15. combined, this is 13/15
since the answer is looking for the best estimate, you take the overall amount of flour, which would be 6 13/15, which is closer to 7 cups than 6

(I may be wrong this is just how I did it)

The graphs of the quadratic functions f(x) = 6 – 10x2 and g(x) = 8 – (x – 2)2 are provided below. Observe there are TWO lines si
natta225 [31]

Answer:

a) y = 7.74*x + 7.5

b)  y = 1.148*x + 6.036

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

                                  f(x) = 6 - 10*x^2

                                  g(x) = 8 - (x-2)^2

Find:

(a) The line simultaneously tangent to both graphs having the LARGEST slope has equation

(b) The other line simultaneously tangent to both graphs has equation,

Solution:

- Find the derivatives of the two functions given:

                                f'(x) = -20*x

                                g'(x) = -2*(x-2)

- Since, the derivative of both function depends on the x coordinate. We will choose a point x_o which is common for both the functions f(x) and g(x). Point: ( x_o , g(x_o)) Hence,

                                g'(x_o) = -2*(x_o -2)

- Now compute the gradient of a line tangent to both graphs at point (x_o , g(x_o) ) on g(x) graph and point ( x , f(x) ) on function f(x):

                                m = (g(x_o) - f(x)) / (x_o - x)

                                m = (8 - (x_o-2)^2 - 6 + 10*x^2) / (x_o - x)

                                m = (8 - (x_o^2 - 4*x_o + 4) - 6 + 10*x^2)/(x_o - x)

                                m = ( 8 - x_o^2 + 4*x_o -4 -6 +10*x^2) /(x_o - x)

                                m = ( -2 - x_o^2 + 4*x_o + 10*x^2) /(x_o - x)

- Now the gradient of the line computed from a point on each graph m must be equal to the derivatives computed earlier for each function:

                                m = f'(x) = g'(x_o)

- We will develop the first expression:

                                m = f'(x)

                                ( -2 - x_o^2 + 4*x_o + 10*x^2) /(x_o - x) = -20*x

Eq 1.                          (-2 - x_o^2 + 4*x_o + 10*x^2) = -20*x*x_o + 20*x^2

And,

                              m = g'(x_o)

                              ( -2 - x_o^2 + 4*x_o + 10*x^2) /(x_o - x) = -20*x

                              -2 - x_o^2 + 4*x_o + 10*x^2 = -2(x_o - 2)(x_o - x)

Eq 2                       -2 - x_o^2 + 4*x_o+ 10*x^2 = -2(x_o^2 - x_o*(x + 2) + 2*x)

- Now subtract the two equations (Eq 1 - Eq 2):

                              -20*x*x_o + 20*x^2 + 2*x_o^2 - 2*x_o*(x + 2) + 4*x = 0

                              -22*x*x_o + 20*x^2 + 2*x_o^2 - 4*x_o + 4*x = 0

- Form factors:       20*x^2 - 20*x*x_o - 2*x*x_o + 2*x_o^2 - 4*x_o + 4*x = 0

                              20*x*(x - x_o) - 2*x_o*(x - x_o) + 4*(x - x_o) = 0

                               (x - x_o)(20*x - 2*x_o + 4) = 0  

                               x = x_o   ,     x_o = 10x + 2    

- For x_o = 10x + 2  ,

                               (g(10*x + 2) - f(x))/(10*x + 2 - x) = -20*x

                                (8 - 100*x^2 - 6 + 10*x^2)/(9*x + 2) = -20*x

                                (-90*x^2 + 2) = -180*x^2 - 40*x

                                90*x^2 + 40*x + 2 = 0  

- Solve the quadratic equation above:

                                 x = -0.0574, -0.387      

- Largest slope is at x = -0.387 where equation of line is:

                                  y - 4.502 = -20*(-0.387)*(x + 0.387)

                                  y = 7.74*x + 7.5          

- Other tangent line:

                                  y - 5.97 = 1.148*(x + 0.0574)

                                  y = 1.148*x + 6.036

Which of these relations on{0,1,2,3}are partial orderings? Determine the properties of a partial ordering that the others lack.
omeli [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

A = {0,1,2,3}

a): R = {(0,0),(2,2),(3,3)}

R is antisymmetric, because if the (a,b)∈R, than a=b.

R is not reflexive, because (1,1) ∉ R while 1 ∈ A.

R is transitive, because if the (a,b)∈R and (b, c) ∈ R, than a=b=c and (a,c)=(a,a)∈R.

R is not portable ordering because R is not reflexive.

b): R = {(0,0),(1,1),(2,0),(2,2),(2,3),(3,3)}

R is antisymmetric, because if the (a,b)∈R and if the (b, a) ∈ R, than a=b (since (2,0) ∈ R and (0,2) ∉ R; and (2,3) ∈ R and (3,2) ∉ R )

R is reflexive, because (a,a) ∈ R of every element a ∈ A.

R is transitive , because if the (a,b)∈R and if the ( b , c )∈R . then a = b or b = c ( since there are only two element not of the form ( a , a ) and that pair does not satisfy ( a,b ) ∈ R and ( b , a ) ∈ R ), which implies ( a , c ) = ( b , c ) ∈ R or ( a , c ) = ( a , b ) ∈ R.

R is a partial ordering, because R is reflexive, antisymmetric and transitive.

c): R =  {(0,0),(1,1),(1,2),(2,2),(3,1),(3,3)}

R is reflexive, because (a,a)∈R of every element a ∈ A.

R is antisymmetric, because if the ( a , b )∈R and if the ( b , a )∈R . then a = b ( since ( 1 , 2 )∈R and ( 2 , 1 ) ∉ R; ( 3 , 1 ) ∈ R and ( 1 , 3 ) ∉ R ).  

R is not transitive , because ( 3 , 1 ) ∈ R and ( 1 , 2 )∈R, while ( 3 , 2 ) ∈ R.

R is not a partial ordering. because R is not transitive .

d): R =  {(0,0),(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(2,0),(2,2),(2,3), (3,0),(3,3)}

R is the reflexive, because ( a , a )∈R of every elements∈A.

R is the antisymmetric, because if the ( a , b )∈R and if the ( b , a )∈R, then a = b ( since ( 1 . 2 )∈R and ( 2 . 1 )∉R; similarly, all other elements not of the form (a,a) ).

R is not transitive, because ( 1 , 2 )∈R and ( 2 , 0 )∈R, while ( 1 . 0 )∉R.

R is not a partial ordering, because R is not transitive,

e):  R = { ( 0 , 0 ) , ( 0, 1 ) , ( 0 , 2 ) , ( 0 , 3 ) , ( 1 , 0 ) , ( 1 , 1 ) , ( 1 , 2 ) , ( 1 , 3 ) , ( 2 , 0 ) , ( 2 , 2 ) , ( 3 , 3 ) }

R is the reflexive , because ( a , a )∈R of every element a∈A .

R is not antisymmetric, because ( 1 , 0 )∈R and ( 0 , 1 )∈R while 0 is not equal to 1.

R is not transitive, because ( 2 , 0 )∈Rand ( 0 , 3 )∈R, while ( 2 , 3 )∉R .

R is not a partial ordering, because R is not the antisymmetric and not the transitive.

The square of a positive number is 24 more than 5 times a number. What is the value of the number?
satela [25.4K]
First, let's construct an algebraic equation to formally find the answer:

Let x represent (the value of) the unknown number. 

x²= 5x + 24 --- This equation shows that the (positive) number's square equals 24 more than 5 times the number.

Now we can solve for x (the number):

                 x² = 5x + 24
  x² - 5x - 24 = 0
(x + 3)(x - 8) = 0
                   x =  -3, 8

Therefore, this means that x (the number ) can be either -3 OR 8. Both will satisfy the description.
Hope this helps!

A furniture company is producing three types of furniture. Product A requires 7 board feet of wood and 4 lbs of wicker. Product
denis23 [38]

Given:

Product A requires 7 board feet of wood and 4 lbs of wicker.

Product B requires 5 board feet of wood and 5 lbs of wicker.

Product C requires 4 board feet of wood and 3 lbs of wicker.

Available wood = 3000 board feet

Available wicker = 1400 lbs

Profit margin of A = $35 per unit

Profit margin of B = $42 per unit

Profit margin of C = $20 per unit

To find:

The linear programming problem for given situation.

Solution:

Let the number of units produced of products A, B and C are x, y and z respectively.

                                Product A       Product B           Product C      Total

Board feet of wood       7                       5                       4               3000

wicker                            4                       5                        3               1400

Objective function: Maximize z=35x+42y+20z

s.t.,

Board feet of wood  : 7x+5y+4x\leq 3000

Wicker : 4x+5y+3x\leq 1400

Number of units  cannot be negative. So, x,y,z\geq 0.

Therefore, the required LPP is

Maximize z=35x+42y+20z

s.t.,

7x+5y+4x\leq 3000

4x+5y+3x\leq 1400

x,y,z\geq 0
