When class 11Y1 found that their favourite teacher, Mr Musson, was leaving they decided to organise a party for him. Lewis, one

of the class members, wants to buy 38 cartons of juice. He can buy a single carton of juice for 45p. He can buy a pack of 4 cartons for £1.56 Lewis buys all the cartons he needs for the least possible amount of money. How much did he spend?

Answer:

The least amount spent is £12.92

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of Carton = 38

A carton = 45 pence

4 carton = £1.56

To spend the least amount of money, be needs to go for the least expensive option.

There are 100 pence in £1

So, there are x pence in £1.36

x * 1 =1.36 * 100

x = 136 pence for 4 carton.

To get the price of 1 carton, divide x by 4

x/4 = 136p/4

x/4 = 34 pence.

This means that he can get a carton of juice at the rate of 34p and at the rate of 45p.

The smallest of this is 34p.

Hence total amount spent =

34 * 38

amount = 1292p --- convert to £

Amount = 1292/100

Amount = £12.92

Hence, the least amount spent is £12.92

Solve the simultaneous equation 3x²-xy=0, 2y-5x=1​
ratelena [41]

Answer:

  (x, y) = (0, 1/2) or (1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first equation factors as ...

  x(3x -y) = 0

This has solutions x=0 and y=3x.

__

<u>x = 0</u>

Using this in the second equation gives ...

  2y -0 = 1

  y = 1/2

  (x, y) = (0, 1/2) is a solution

__

<u>y = 3x</u>

Using the expression for y in the second equation, we get ...

  2(3x) -5x = 1

  x = 1 . . . . . . . . . simplify

  y = 3x = 3 . . . . using x=1 in the first equation

  (x, y) = (1, 3) is a solution

_____

Interestingly, the (red line) graph of 3x^2 -xy = 0 produced by this graphing calculator has a "hole" at x=0, It says that point is (0, undefined). In a sense, y is undefined, in that it can be <em>anything</em>. A more appropriate graph would graph that equation as the two lines x=0 and y=3x.

6 points Emily’s family needs to rent a moving truck to move their belongings to a different house. The rental cost for Trucks-A
Alexxx [7]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Equation to represent the daily rental cost for each type of truck can be written as follows:

Daily rental cost for Trucks-A-Lot = 42 + 0.72m

Daily rental cost for Move-in-Truckers = 70 + 0.12m

Where, m = Emily's mileage

To determine the number of miles for which the truck cost the same amount, set both equations equal to each other and solve for m.

42 + 0.72m = 70 + 0.12m

Collect like terms

0.72m - 0.12m = 70 - 42

0.6m = 28

Divide both sides by 0.6

\frac{0.6m}{0.6} = \frac{28}{0.6}

m = 46.7

At approximately 47 miles, both trucks would cost the same amount.

Check:

Daily rental cost for Trucks-A-Lot = 42 + 0.72m

Plug in the value of x = 47

= 42 + 0.72(47) = $75.84 ≈ $76

Daily rental cost for Move-in-Truckers = 70 + 0.12m

Plug in the value of x = 47

= 70 + 0.12(47) = $75.64 ≈ $76

Which represents a quadratic function? f(x) = −8x3 − 16x2 − 4x f (x) = three-quarters x 2 + 2x − 5 f(x) = StartFraction 4 Over x
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

2.\ f(x) = \frac{3}{4}x^2 + 2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = -8x^3 - 16x^2 - 4x\\f(x) = \frac{3}{4}x^2 + 2x - 5\\f(x) = \frac{4}{x^2} - \frac{2}{x} + 1\\f(x) = 0x^2 - 9x + 7

Required

Which of the above is a quadratic function

A quadratic function has the following form;

ax^2 +bx + c = 0 \ where \ a\neq 0

So, to get a quadratic function from the list of given options, we simply perform a comparative test of each function with the form of a quadratic function

1.\ f(x) = -8x^3 - 16x^2 - 4x

This is not a quadratic function because it follows the form f(x) = ax^3 + bx^2 + c and this is different from ax^2 +bx + c = 0 \ where \ a\neq 0

2.\ f(x) = \frac{3}{4}x^2 + 2x - 5

This function has an exact match with ax^2 +bx + c = 0 \ where \ a\neq 0

By comparison; a = \frac{3}{4}\ b = 2\ and\ c = -5

3.\ f(x) = \frac{4}{x^2} - \frac{2}{x} + 1

This is not a quadratic function because it follows the form f(x) = \frac{a}{x^2} + \frac{b}{x} + c and this is different from ax^2 +bx + c = 0 \ where \ a\neq 0

4.\ f(x) = 0x^2 - 9x + 7

This is not a quadratic function because it follows the form f(x) = ax^2 +bx + c = 0\ but\ a = 0

Unlike the quadratic function where a\neq 0

So, from the list of given options, only 2.\ f(x) = \frac{3}{4}x^2 + 2x - 5 satisfies the given condition

Solve for x:<br> 3(5x + 10) + 10 = 6x - (x + 10)
34kurt

Answer:

x= -5

Step-by-step explanation:

3(5x+10)+10=6x-(x+10)

15x+30+10=6x-x-10

15x+40=5x-10

15x-5x=-10-40

10x=-50

x=-5

Anne buys her store's art supplies from a wholesaler. She purchases 8 canvases that are 16 by 20 inches for $7.16
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

OC. $57.28

Step-by-step explanation:

It depends on how much she sells them for.

Let's say Anne sells them for $x.

Then her profit is:

8x-(8*7.16)

=8x-57.28

To make a minimum to at least make even is $57.28 and sell for $7.16 a piece.
