A farmer uses two types of fertilizers. A 50lb bag of fertilizer A contains 6 lb of nitrogen and 3lb of phosphorus. A 50 lb bag of fertilizer B contains 4 lb each of nitrogen and phosphorus. The minimum requirements for a field are 480 lb of nitrogen and 240 lb of phosphorus. If a 50lb bag of fertilizer A costs $35 and a 50 lb bag of fertilizer B costs $25 find the amount of each type of fertilizer the farmer should use to minimize his cost while still meeting the minimum requirements. mathematically formulate and state the problem.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Fertilizer A = 20, Fertilizer B = 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Set up the equations

Nitrogen: 8x + 5y ≥ 440

Phosphorous: 2x + 5y ≥ 260

Potassium: 4x + 5y ≥ 360

Step 2: Find the vertices

It is easiest to graph the equations to find the vertices. (see attachment).  You can also solve each system of equations to find the intersected points.

The following satisfy the "greater than or equal to" requirement:

(0, 88) → y-intercept of Nitrogen equation

(20, 56) → intersection of Nitrogen and Potassium equations

(50, 32) → intersection of Phosphorous and Potassium

(130, 0) → x-intercept of Potassium

Step 3: Use vertices in cost function C(x) to find the minimum

C(x) = $30x + $20y

(0, 88): $30(0) + $20(88) = $1760

(20, 56): $30(20) + $20(56) = $1720    ← This is the minimum!

(50, 32): $30(50) + $20(32) = $2140

(130, 0): $30(130) + $20(0) = $3900

The minimum cost occurs when 20 bags of Fertilizer A and 56 bags of Fertilizer B are purchased.

if 50% of a number is 170 and 20% of the same number is 68, find 70% of that number.

Answers

Yes it’s accurate 70% and 20% you would just multiply
If 50% of a number is 170, that means the number must be double 170 (170 times 2)

And 170 multiplied by 2 is 340.

Therefore, the number is 340. Now we have to find 70% of 340.

We can do that by: taking 340 times 0.70

So 340 times 0.70 is..

The hypotenuse of a 30°-60°-90º triangle is 8 units and one leg is 4 units. What is the length of the other leg?

Answers

Answer:

The length of the other leg is [tex]4\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 ways to solve this.

1) Pythagorean theorem (the harder way)

A 30-60-90 triangle is a right triangle, and therefore you can use the pythagorean theorem to calculate the measure of 1 side given the 2 others.

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2\\a^2+4^2=8^2\\a^2+16=64\\a^2=48\\a=\sqrt{48}\\a=6.9282...[/tex]

That's one solution, but its not a very nice number or the exact answer you probably want. Instead, you can simplify the root.

First, you need to factor 48:

[tex]2*24=48\\2*12=24\\2*6=12\\2*3=6[/tex]

The prime factors of 48 are:

[tex]2*2*2*2*3=48[/tex]

Then, you need to find perfect squares:

[tex](2*2)*(2*2)*3=48\\2^2*2^2*3=48[/tex]

And finally, you can remove those like this:

[tex]\sqrt{48} =\sqrt{2^2*2^2*3} \\\sqrt{48} =2\sqrt{2^2*3} \\\sqrt{48} =2*2\sqrt{3} \\\sqrt{48} =4\sqrt{3}[/tex]

The length of the other leg is [tex]4\sqrt{3}[/tex]

2) 30-60-90 triangle relationships (the easier way)

There are 4 simple rules here:

Short leg × 2 = hypotenuseShort leg × √3 = long legLong leg ÷ √3 = short legHypotenuse ÷ 2 = short leg

They're actually pretty easy to remember. You can multiply the short leg by 2 or √3, and 2 is greater than √3 (check a calculator). The hypotenuse of course is also longer than the long leg, so you have to multiply by 2 to get it. Then for the long leg, the only option is to multiply by √3. The same works in reverse for both of those.

Here, we have the short leg. You can check that with the pythagorean theorem again to be sure:

[tex]a^2+4^2=8^2\\a^2+16=64[/tex]

Because 16 is less than half of 64, a has to be the longer leg. Using the rules above, multiply the short leg by √3 to get the answer:

[tex]4 * \sqrt{3} \\4\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Same answer as the previous method.

[tex]-0.75= -75[/tex]% we already have the percentage so not this one

The American customer satisfaction index scores of McDonalds restaurants grew from 61 in 2002 to 71 in the year 2014. Find the average rate of change for the data. Show work.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\large\sf{average\:rate\:of\:change= \frac{6}{5}\:=\:1.2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the American customer satisfaction index scores that increased from 61 in 2002, to 71 in 2014:

In order to solve for the average rate of change, we could simply use the average rate of change formula:

Average rate of change = Change in output/Change in input

[tex]\huge\sf{Average\:rate\:of\:change\:=\:\frac{\triangle{y}}{\triangle{x}}\:=\:\frac{(y_2\: -\: y_1) }{(x_2\: -\: x_1)}}[/tex]

Let (x₁, y₁) = (61, 2002)

    (x₂, y₂) = (71, 2014)

Substitute these values into the average rate of change formula:

[tex]\BIGG\sf{Average\:rate\:of\:change\:=\:\frac{\triangle{y}}{\triangle{x}}\:=\:\frac{(y_2\: -\: y_1) }{(x_2\: -\: x_1)}\:=\frac{2014\:-\:2002}{71\:-\:61}\:=\:\frac{12}{10}\:=\:\frac{6}{5}}[/tex]

what is the measure of x?

Answers

Answer:

Hello!

After reviewing the problem you have provided I have come up with the correct solution:

x= 9

Step-by-step explanation:

To come up with this solution you have to first realize that the smaller triangle is a proportionally scaled down version of the entire larger triangle! (I will show what I mean in a linked picture)

So after we have realized that the smaller triangle is a scaled down version of the larger one, we can then create a formula or ratio to calculate the value of the missing side of the larger triangle (being x+6=??).

To create the formula/ratio I divided 10inches by 4inches. Thus the larger triangle is 2.5 times larger than the smaller one.

I then use this ratio to figure out the missing length of the larger triangle by doing:

6inches x 2.5 = 15inches.

I then inputed the 15inches into the formula of the missing side:

x+6=15

Subtracted 6 from both sides to simplify, and came up with the solution!

x=9

Let me know if this helps!
