We know that
In a period of 4 hours (3 hours of work and 1 hour to refuel)
each street sweepers clean------> 3 miles*3 =9 miles

divide 18 hours by 4
18/4=4.5
4.5 is equal to 4 periods of 4 hours plus 2 hours

Multiply 4 by 9 miles
4*9=36 miles

in the period of 2 hours (<span>in this period there is no refuel)
</span>3*2=6 miles

each street sweepers clean in 18 hours-----> (36+6)-----> 42 miles
two street sweepers clean in 18 hours=2*42------> 84 miles

the answer is
84 miles

Marginal cost At a certain factory the marginal cost is 3(q-4)^2 dollars per unit when the level of production is q units.
viktelen [127]

Answer:

a.) C(q) =  -(1/4)*q^3 +  3q^2  -  12q + OH          b.) $170

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Marginal cost is defined as the decrease or increase in total production cost if output is increased by one more unit. Mathematically:

Marginal cost (MC) = change in total cost/change in quantity

Therefore, to derive the equation for total production cost, we need to integrate the equation of marginal cost with respect to quantity. Thus:

Total cost (C) = Integral [3(q-4)^2] dq = -(1/4)*(q-4)^3 + k

where k is a constant.

The overhead (OH) = C(0) = -(1/4)*(0-4)^3 + k = -16 + k

C(q) = -(1/4)*(q^3  - 12q^2  + 48q - 64) + k = -(1/4)*q^3 +  3q^2  -  12q  -16 + k

Thus:

C(q) =  -(1/4)*q^3 +  3q^2  -  12q + OH

(b) C(14) = -(1/4)*14^3 +  3*14^2  -  12*14 + 436 = -686 + 588 - 168 + 436 = $170

Twenty-four 4-inch wide square posts are evenly spaced with 5 feet between adjacent posts to enclose a square field, as shown. W
Nata [24]

Answer:

492 0/10

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the perimeter is 4 times the length of the side, now we know that this side "l" is given by:

l = 4 in * 24 + 23 * 5 ft

l = 96 in + 115 ft

Now, we pass the inches to pes, knowing that 1 foot equals 12 inches, so

96 in * 1 ft / 12 in = 8 ft

therefore replacing it remains:

l = 8 ft + 115 ft

l = 123 ft

now the perimeter:

p = 123 * 4

p = 492

to change to a mixed number:

4920/10 = 492 0/10

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

She wrote 9 pages per day on average

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of pages that Carolyn wrote in her journal each day from Monday to Friday is shown below:

Monday = 9

Tuesday =8

Wednesday = 12

Thursday = 6

Friday = 10

Mean = \frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{No. of observations}}\\Mean =\frac{9+8+12+6+10}{5}

Mean=9

Hence She wrote 9 pages per day on average

valentina_108 [34]
The answer is  0 < x <span>≤ 7 
</span>
First, we know that width =  x
Which means that length = x +18

So, the possible equation for the Table's area is

X (X + 18)  ≤ 175

X^2 + 18x - 175  <span>≤ </span>0

Next, we need to calculate is by using complete square method
x^2 + 18x + 81 <span>≤ 175 + 81

(x + 9)^2 </span><span>≤ 256

|x + 9| </span><span>≤ sqrt(256)

|x + 9| </span><span>≤ +-16

-16 </span>≤ x + 9 <span>≤ 16

</span>-16 - 9 ≤ x <span>≤ 16 - 9

</span>-25 ≤ x <span>≤ 7

Since the width couldn't be negative, we can change -25 with 0,

so it become
</span> 0 < x ≤ 7
