Do not round your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

According to the concept of quadratic equation, the minimum cost for the x ray machine is $17, 484

Quadratic equation:

Basically, the polynomial equation with highest degree of two is called a quadratic equation.

The general equation is given by ax² + bx + c = 0, where a ≠ 0.

Given,

A medical equipment industry manufactures X-ray machines. The unit cost C (the cost in dollars to make each X-ray machine) depends on the number of machines made. If .x machines are made, then the unit cost is given by the function C (x)=0.5x²-320x+68,684.

Here we need to find the minimum unit cost.

Here we know that the standard form of a quadratic is given by:

=> ax² + bx + c

From this function, we have to calculate the value of x as,

=> x = -b/ 2a

While we compare the standard form with the given function,

=> C (x)=0.5x²-320x+68,684.

Then we get the value of

=> a = 0.5

=> b = -320

=> c = 68,684

So, the value of x is calculated as,

=> x = -(-320) / 2(0.5)

=> x = 320 / 1

=> x = 1

Now, we have to plug this value into original function would give us the minimum (unit cost):

=> C(320) = 0.5(320)²- 320 (320) + 68,684.

=> C(320) = 0.5(102400) - 102400 + 68, 684

=> C(320) = 51200 - 102400 + 68684

=> C(320) = 17, 484

Therefore, the minimum unit cost is $17, 484

Brooklyn scored 27 points in the basketball game. That was 12 points more than her friend, Cienna, scored. How many points did they score altogether? * 2 points

Answers

Answer:

42 points

Step-by-step explanation:

If Brooke scored 27 points, 12 less than that would be what Cienna scored. To find this, you would do 27 - 12. This is equal to 15, so Cienna scored 15 points.

To find how much they scored together, you would add both their scores. Brooke scored 27 and Cienna scored 15, so 27 + 15 = 42. Therefore, they scored 42 points together.

The slope of the line is -3 and the equation of the line formed by the points is y + 3x = 6.

From the table we can see that the line passes through the points:

(-6,6) ,(5,-3) ,(4,0) and (3,3) .

Let us consider any two points on the line (4,0) and (3,3) .

We know that the slope of the line can be found by using the intercept formula

Hence slope = (3-0) / (3-4) = 3/ -1 = -3

Now the equation of the line is :

y - 3 = -3(x-3)

or, y - 3 = -3x +9

or, y + 3x = 6

The letter m is frequently used to represent the slope of an object that resembles a line in the plane that contains the x and y axes. The slope is defined as the difference in two independent locations along the line expressed in y coordinate less by the equivalent difference in x coordinate.

Therefore slope of the line is -3.

Answers

The given equation solved for u is u = 7 or u = -7

Solving an equation

From the question, we are to solve the given equation.

The given equation is

u^6 − 49 u^4 = 0

First, we will write the equation properly

The given equation written properly is

u⁶ - 49u⁴ = 0

Now,

To solve the equation, we will determine the value(s) of the variable. The variable in the given equation is u.

Thus,

We will solve for u

u⁶ - 49u⁴ = 0

Add 49u⁴ to both sides of the equation

u⁶ = 49u⁴

Divide both sides by u⁴

u⁶/u⁴ = 49u⁴/u⁴

u² = 49

Then,

u²- 49 = 0

u² - 7² = 0

Factorize by applying the rule for difference of two squares

(u + 7)(u - 7) = 0

Then,

u + 7 = 0 OR u - 7 = 0

u = -7 OR u = 7

Hence, the value of u is -7 OR 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing that the parent equation for linear functions is "y = mx+b", where "m = slope" and "b = y-intercept", we can create an equation for the line of best fit.

We also need to know the formula for using two points to find the slope is  "(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)", where (x2, y2) is a point on the graph and (x1, y1) is a point on the graph.

Finding the slope:

I will be using points (5, 48) and (0, 24).

(24 - 48)/(0 - 5)

(-24)/(-5)

24/5      is the slope so "m = 24/5"

We can tell from the graph (0, 24) is the y-intercept, so "b = 24"

Answers

The number of  turkeys that they sold on Sunday is 90 turkeys

Total number of turkeys = 240

On Sunday, they sold 3/8 of them

The fraction of turkeys they sold on Sunday = 3/8

To find the number of turkeys that they sold on Sunday we have to find the 3/8 fraction of 240

Then,

The number of turkeys that they sold on Sunday = Total number of turkeys × The fraction of turkeys they sold on Sunday

Substitute the values in the equation

The number of turkeys that they sold on Sunday = 240 × 3/8

Students from the local high school are selling tickets to the town's annual carnival. Adult admission is $4.00 and child admission is $2.00. Four hours after the carnival opened its first day, 440 tickets had been sold totaling $1380. How many adults and how many children entered the carnival after it was opened?

Answers

The number of adults is 200 and the number of children that entered the carnival after it was opened is 240.

How to find the number tickets sold?

Let a represent the number of adult tickets sold

Let c represent the number of children tickets sold

4a + 2c = 1380

Hence,

a + c = 440

Solving  for c

4 (440-c) +2c = 1280

1760-4c +2c = 1280

-4c+2c = -480

-2c=-480

Divide both side by -2c

c = -480/-2

c = 240 (children tickets)

Solving for a

a =440-c

a =440 -240

a=200 (Adult tickets)

Therefore 240 and 200 tickets were sold.
