Noah manages a buffet at a local restaurant. He charges $10 for the buffet. On average, 16 customers choose the buffet as their meal every hour. After surveying several customers, Noah has determined that for every $1 increase in the cost of the buffet, the average number of customers who select the buffet will decrease by 2 per hour. The restaurant owner wants the buffet to maintain a minimum revenue of $130 per hour.


Noah wants to model this situation with an inequality and use the model to help him make the best pricing decisions.


1. Write two expressions for this situation, one representing the cost per customer and the other representing the average number of customers. Assume that x represents the number of $1 increases in the cost of the buffet.


2. To calculate the hourly revenue from the buffet after x $1 increases, multiply the price paid by each customer and the average number of customers per hour. Create an inequality in standard form that represents the restaurant owner’s desired revenue.


3. Which possible buffet prices could Noah could charge and still maintain the restaurant owner’s revenue requirements?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1.   Cost per customer:  10 + x

     Average number of customers:  16 - 2x

[tex]\textsf{2.} \quad -2x^2-4x+160\geq 130[/tex]

3.    $10, $11, $12 and $13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

$10 = cost of buffet per customer16 customers choose the buffet per hourEvery $1 increase in the cost of the buffet = loss of 2 customers per hour$130 = minimum revenue needed per hour

Let x = the number of $1 increases in the cost of the buffet

Part 1

Cost per customer:  10 + x

Average number of customers:  16 - 2x

Part 2

The cost per customer multiplied by the number of customers needs to be at least $130.  Therefore, we can use the expressions found in part 1 to write the inequality:

[tex](10 + x)(16 - 2x)\geq 130[/tex]

[tex]\implies 160-20x+16x-2x^2\geq 130[/tex]

[tex]\implies -2x^2-4x+160\geq 130[/tex]

Part 3

To determine the possible buffet prices that Noah could charge and still maintain the restaurant owner's revenue requirements, solve the inequality:

[tex]\implies -2x^2-4x+160\geq 130[/tex]

[tex]\implies -2x^2-4x+30\geq 0[/tex]

[tex]\implies -2(x^2+2x-15)\geq 0[/tex]

[tex]\implies x^2+2x-15\leq 0[/tex]

[tex]\implies (x-3)(x+5)\leq 0[/tex]

Find the roots by equating to zero:

[tex]\implies (x-3)(x+5)=0[/tex]

[tex]x-3=0 \implies x=3[/tex]

[tex]x+5=0 \implies x=-5[/tex]

Therefore, the roots are x = 3 and x = -5.

Test the roots by choosing a value between the roots and substituting it into the original inequality:

[tex]\textsf{At }x=2: \quad -2(2)^2-4(2)+160=144[/tex]

As 144 ≥ 130, the solution to the inequality is between the roots:  

-5 ≤ x ≤ 3

To find the range of possible buffet prices Noah could charge and still maintain a minimum revenue of $130, substitute x = 0 and x = 3 into the expression for "cost per customer.  

[Please note that we cannot use the negative values of the possible values of x since the question only tells us information about the change in average customers per hour considering an increase in cost.  It does not confirm that if the cost is reduced (less than $10) the number of customers increases per hour.]

Cost per customer:  

[tex]x =0 \implies 10 + 0=\$10[/tex]

[tex]x=3 \implies 10+3=\$13[/tex]

Therefore, the possible buffet prices Noah could charge are:

$10, $11, $12 and $13.

If sin theta = 3/4 and is in the first quadrant, then cos theta

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{7} }{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

since sin theta = 3/4, opposite length = 3 units and hypotenuse length = 4 units

by pythagoras' theorem, adjacent length = [tex]\sqrt{7}[/tex]

thus cos theta = adjacent/hypotenuse = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{7} }{4}[/tex]

sin(θ)=3/4
α=sin^-1 (3/4)
= 0.84806207898
since it is in the first quadrant
θ=0.84806207898
thus cos(θ)=cos(0.84806207898)
= 0.66143782777

Given the following rectangle and circle, what appropriate value of x are the two areas equal? A: x= 3.4 B: x=5.8 C: x= 10.2 D: the curves do not intersect, so there is no solution

Answers

The correct option is D:

the curves do not intersect, so there is no solution

For what values of x are the two areas equal?

The area of the rectangle is given by:

f(x) = (x + 7)*(5x - 3)

f(x) = 5x² -3x + 35x - 21

f(x) = 5x² + 32x - 21

For the circle, the area is:

g(x) = 2*pi*(x + 6)^2

g(x) = 2pi*x^2  + 12pi*x + 72pi

The solution is given g(x) = f(x).

By graphing both functions (the green curve is the area of the rectangle, the orange one is the area of the circle). The two curves never do intercept, so the correct option is D.

Find the probability. If 81% of scheduled flights actually take place and cancellations are independent events, what is the probability that 3 separate flights will all take place

Answers

The probability that 3 separate flights will all take place is 0.531441

let A = event of scheduled flight actually take place

According to the question, P(A)=0.81

Given that 3 separate flights will all take place is an independent event.

Hence, we can use the multiplicative rule which says If the probability that one given flight takes place is 0.81 then the probability of 3 flights taking place is:

P(A∩B∩C) = P(A)*P(B)*P(C)

= 0.81*0.81*0.81

= 0.531441

so, the Probability that 3 separate flights will take place is 0.531441

It is given that alyssa's favorite tennis team has 8 players on them. She has taken a picture with every single athlete individually and wants to post some of the pictures on her wall. But she only wants to post 3 pictures on her wall.

For this we hve to use factorials. In mathematics, the factorial of a non-negative integer n, denoted by n!, is the product of all positive integers less than or equal to n. The factorial of n also equals the product of n with the next smaller factorial: For example, The value of 0! is 1, according to the convention for an empty product.

Which of the following represents a function?

Please help

Answers

Answer:

(2,3),(4,3),(-2,-3),(-4,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is defined as a relation in which each domain element (x-value) is paired with exactly one range element (y-value).

This means that each value we input for x must have only one possible output. If the same x-value yields more than one y-value, it is not a function.

The correct answer, as shown above, meets the criteria of a function, as each x-value is shown to produce exactly one y-value. In this set of ordered pairs, if x = 2, then y = 3, and if x = -2, then x = -3.

A set of ordered pairs is not a function if there are ordered pairs with the same x-values but different y-values.

In the other sets of ordered pairs, one x-value has more than one possible y-value. Let's use the last set as an example:

(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4)

Inputting 5 as x produces four different y values; there is no one y value for the x-value. y could equal 1, 2, 3, or 4.

Subtract 8 from both sides:

Divide both sides by -2, since it's negative we also flip the sign:

 x > 3

If 1600 square centimeters of material is available to make a box with a square base and an open top, find the largest possible volume of the box.

Answers

The largest possible volume of the box is 6158.394 cm^3.

Define the dimensions of the box to be L, W, and H.

Square base, L = W

Area: A = L^2 * H

Surface Area (Base + Area of 4 sides):

1600 = L^2 + 4 (L*H) ⇒ H = (1600 - L^2) / (4L)

Area: A = 400L - (1/4)L^3

Maximum (Derivative) A' = 400 - (3/4)L^2

Solving for 0

0 = 400 - (3/4)L^2

L^2 ⇒ (40 * SQRT(3)) / 3 = 23.094 (Maximum)

Solving for dimensions, known L=23.094

L = 23.094 cm

W = 23.094 cm

H ⇒ (1600 - L^2) / (4L) = (20 * SQRT(3) / 3) = 11.547 cm

Volume ⇒ L*W*H = 6158.394 cm^3

To locate the most viable extent, add the greatest viable mistakes to every dimension, then multiply. To find the minimum viable volume, subtract the greatest feasible mistakes from each measurement, then multiply.

Volume is a scalar amount expressing the amount of 3-dimensional area enclosed by a closed surface. For example, the gap that a substance or 3-D shape occupies or consists of.

Answer:

A: y=2x+4

B. 34° Celsius

Step-by-step explanation:

A:

Since the temperature goes up at a steady rate of 2 degres per minute, we can assume that 2 is our slope. Since the graph shows us that 4 is the y-intercept, we can substitute both the slope and y-intercept into the equation of a line, or y=mx+b. (m is our slope and b is our y-intercept.)

Doing so gives you:

[tex]y = 2x + 4[/tex]

B.

Using the above formula (y=2x+4), we can substitute x with 15 (since x is the minutes that pass).

Doing so gives you y=30+4, the sum of which is 34.

Therefore, the answer should be 34° Celsius.
