The senior class purchased pizza to sell after school for $320. If they sell pizza by the slice they make $2 per slice. If they

sell a
whole pizza it's $10. Each pizza has 8 slices. Let u represent the number of slices sold and let y represent the number of whole
pizzas sold. If the class has 40 pizzas to sell, what is the greatest number of pizzas they can sell if they want to make a profit of
at least $140.

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Why!

let x = number of slices sold

let y= number of pizzas sold

If you need to make a profit of at least 140 then you have to make what you paid + what you want = $320+$140 = $460

x= (40-y)8 = 320-8y  : 40 is the number of pizza they bought &each pizza has 8 slices

2x + 10y  ≥ 460

2 (320-8y) + 10≥460

Just solve it

180≥6y

30≥y

Therefore the greatest number of pizzas you can sell is 30 to make at least $140

One of the sides of a parallelogram is 4.2 cm and the altitude to that side is 3.6 cm. Find the perimeter of the parallelogram i
dexar [7]

Area of parallelogram = base * height
base 1 = 4.2 cm
height 1 = 3.6 cm
∴ Area = 4.2 * 3.6 = 15.12

let the other base 2 = x
∴ the altitude of this base = height 2 = 2.4
∴Area = 2.4 x = 15.12
Solve for x
                 ∴ x = 6.3 cm

∴ The perimeter of parallelogram = 2( base 1 + base 2)
                                                      = 2 ( 4.2 + 6.3 ) = 21 cm

Nicole shines a light from a window of a lighthouse on a cliff 250 feet above the water level. Nick 10 feet above the water leve
Allushta [10]

Answer:

4585.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If we draw the triangle, the opposite side to 3° angle would be "10" less than total height of 250 because Nick is 10 feet above water level, so that side will be:

250 - 10 = 240

The hypotenuse of the triangle is the length of line of sight. We can call this "x".

So, using trigonometric ratio of sine (opposite/hypotenuse), we can write:

Sin(3)=\frac{240}{x}

Now, we cross multiply and solve for x, line of sight length:

Sin(3)=\frac{240}{x}\\x=\frac{240}{Sin(3)}\\x=4585.8

Find the 4th term (x-y)^12
maria [59]

Answer:

The fourth term of the expansion is -220 * x^9 * y^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Question:

Find the fourth term in (x-y)^12

Solution:

Notation: "n choose k", or combination of k objects from n objects,

C(n,k) = n! / ( k! (n-k)! )

For example, C(12,4) = 12! / (4! 8!) = 495

Using the binomial expansion formula

(a+b)^n

= C(n,0)a^n + C(n,1)a^(n-1)b + C(n,2)a^(n-2)b^2 + C(n,3)a^(n-3)b^3 + C(n,4)a^(n-4)b^4 +....+C(n,n)b^n

For (x-y)^12, n=12, k=3, a=x, b=-y, and the fourth term is

C(n,3)a^(n-3)b^3

=C(12,3) * x^(12-3) * (-y)^(3)

= 220*x^9*(-y)^3

= -220 * x^9 * y^3
