Hey there!

Each step is three feet. This can be represented by 3s= feet. We can plug that in to figure out our side lengths.

20(3)=60

40(3)=120

Now we can multiply these two together to get the area.

120(60)= 7,200

Therefore, his backyard is about 7,200 square feet.

I hope this helps!

Foggy Optics, Inc., makes laboratory microscopes. Setting up each production run costs $2500. Insurance costs, based on the aver
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let N be the total number of runs.

The microscopes per year will be equal to the total number of runs * microscopes per run

total number of microscopes = total number of runs * microscopes per run

now we have each run to cost 2500, therefore:

run costs = 2500 * total runs = 2500*N

we also have insurance and storage costs (note the average thats why we divide by 2):

storage costs = 20* microscopes per run /2 = 20*N/2

insurance costs = 15 * microscopes per run = 15*N

the costs are:

costs = run costs + storage + insurance

now the comany sells 1600 microscopes a year, so in order to figure out the number of microscopes per run we divide 1600 by the total number of runs N and replace in the costs

costs = 2500N + 40000/N => C(N) = 2500N + 40000/N

now derivate the function with respect to N and equal to 0:

\frac{d}{dN}(2500N + 40000/N) = 2500(1-16/N^2) \\\\  2500(1-16/N^2) = 0\\

this gives you two solutions, N = -4 which is not eligible (you cant make negative microscopes lol) and N = 4 which is the answer

have a nice day

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.

The stem-and-leaf plot shows the temperatures of patients who registered at a clinic one day. How many patients registered at th
saveliy_v [14]

As the key suggests, the left part is the integer part of the number, while the digit on the right is the decimal part of the number.

So, for example, the first row describes the two values 97.2 and 97.8, while the second row describes the values 98.1, 98.3 (repeated twice), 98.5, 98.6 and 98.7 (repeater three times).

So, the number of values is given by the number of leaves: you simply have to count how many digits are there on the right part of the screen.

The answer is thus 24

Fiesta28 [93]

Question:

Point T, the midpoint of segment RS, can be found using the formulas x = (1/2) (6 – 2) + 2 and y = (1/2) (4 – 6) + 6. What are the coordinates of point T?

Answer:

T(4,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x = \frac{1}{2}(6 - 2) + 2

y = \frac{1}{2}(4 - 6) + 6

Required

Determine the coordinates of T

The coordinates of T can be represented as T(x,y)

To do this, we simply solve for x and y

x = \frac{1}{2}(6 - 2) + 2

Solve 6 - 2

x = \frac{1}{2}*4 + 2

Solve 1/2 * 4

x = 2 + 2

x = 4

y = \frac{1}{2}(4 - 6) + 6

Solve 4 - 6

y = \frac{1}{2}*-2 + 6

Solve 1/2 * -2

y = -1 + 6

y = 5

Hence, the coordinates of T(x,y) is:

T(x,y) = T(4,5)
