Answer:

The maximum height of the prism is 12\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the height of the prism

we know that

the area of the rectangular base of the prism is equal to

A=L*W

A\leq 27\ m^{2}

so

L*W\leq 27 -------> inequality A

W=x-9 ------> equation B

L=W+6 -----> equation C

Substitute equation B in equation C

L=(x-9)+6

L=x-3 ------> equation D

Substitute equation B and equation D in the inequality A

(x-3)*(x-9)\leq 27-------> using a graphing tool to solve the inequality

The solution for x is the interval---------->[0,12]

see the attached figure

but remember that

The width of the base must be 9 meters less than the height of the prism

so

the solution for x is the interval ------> (9,12]

The maximum height of the prism is 12\ m

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

P(t) = 10t - 400

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling price of each ticket = $10

Cost of setting up the dance= $400

Profit = Revenue - cost

Revenue = price × quantity

Revenue that will maximize profit = 10t

where t= quantity of tickets that maximises profits

Cost = $400

Profit(t) = Revenue - cost

P(t)= 10t - 400

Answer:

1.4 × 10^-8

Step-by-step explanation:

The chip is 14  nanometers

14 * .000000001

.000000014

Move the decimal 8 places to the right, because we need 1 number in front of the decimal for scientific notation.  The exponent will be -8 because  we moved it 8 places to the right

1.4 × 10^-8

Ryan is trying a low-carbohydrate diet. He would like to keep the amount of carbs consumed in grams between the levels shown in
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

50

Ryan would like to eat <em>more than</em> 50 carbs per day, but <em>no more than</em> 150 carbs per day.

So, Ryan's total carb intake must be <em>between </em>50 and 150 carbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

So he wants to keep his consumption of carbs between the inequalities:

110

So, let's solve both inequalities.

1)

110

Subtract 10 from both sides:

100

Divide both sides by 2:

50

2)

2x+10

Subtract 10 from both sides:

2x

Divide both sides by 2:

x

So, our inequality is now:

110

Since we solved the equations:

50

Written as a compound inequality, this is:

50

In other words, Ryan would like to eat <em>more than</em> 50 carbs per day, but <em>no more than</em> 150 carbs per day.

So, Ryan's total carb intake must be <em>between </em>50 and 150 carbs.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: x+y\geq12

2.75x+3.50y\leq35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the number of red roses and y represents the number of white roses.

Given : Javier is purchasing a bouquet of roses from a floral shop. He wants the bouquet to have at least 12 roses.

i.e. the required inequality for this statement will be :-

No. of red roses +No. of white roses ≥ 12

i.e. x+y\geq12

Also, Red roses cost $2.75 each and white roses cost $3.50 each and he wants to spend less than $35.

i.e. $2.75(No. of red roses)+$3.50(No. of white roses)≤ $35

i.e. 2.75x+3.50y\leq35

Now, From (1) and (2) the system of inequalities represents the situation :

x+y\geq12

2.75x+3.50y\leq35
