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.

The image of the point (4, -9) under a translation is (9, -14). Find the coordinates
of the image of the point (-9, -8) under the same translation.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (-4, -13)

Step-by-step explanation:

When the translation (T) is added, the image is formed.

  (4, -9) +T = (9, -14)

  T = (9, -14) -(4, -9) = (9-4, -14-(-9)) = (5, -5)

The same holds for the second point:

  (-9, -8) +T = (-9, -8) +(5, -5) = (-9 +5, -8 -5) = (-4, -13)

The image of the second point under the same translation is (-4, -13).

Natalie and her sister opened a savings account at the same time. Natalie deposited $100 and will deposit $10 each month. Her sister deposited $25 and will deposit $25 each month. When will Natalie have less money in her account that her sister?

Answers

Answer:

6 months

Step-by-step explanation:

We can think of Natalie as 100 + 10x and her sister as 25 + 25x. If we put them together, we will get 100 + 10x < 25 + 25x, We can simplify it by moving the 25 to the left side and 10x to the right side. Then we will get 75 < 15x, and the smallest solution is 6 because 5 * 15 is equal to 75

One integer is 8 less than another integer. The sum of the two integers is 72. Find the two integers. Step 2 of 2: What are the two integers? Separate values with a comma.

Answers

Answer:

40 and 32

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a linear systems equation problem.

a + b = 72

a = b - 8

Use substitution. Substitute b-8 for a in a+b=72

b-8+b=72

2b-8=72

add 8 to both sides

2b=80 (divide both sides by 2)

b = 40

Plug the value of b into the a=b-8

a=40-8

a=32

Check:  40 + 32 = 72 So the two integers are 40 and 32

What is equation?

In mathematics, an equation is a formula that expresses the equality of two expressions, by connecting them with the equals sign. A mathematical equation is a formula that uses the equals sign to express the equality of two expressions. The meanings of the word equation as well as its cognates in other languages can vary slightly. For instance, in French, an equation is defined as having one or more variables, whereas in English, an equation is any well-formed formula that consists of two expressions linked by the equals sign.

Finding the values of the variables that result in the equality is the first step in solving an equation with variables. The unknown variables are also known as the variables for which the equation must be solved, and the unknown variable values that satisfy the equality are known as the equation's solutions.

Let the required term be z.

[tex]z/ (1/2x^3)=16x^6y^4[/tex]

[tex]z=(16x^6y^4) }{(1/2x^3)}[/tex]

Camila is collecting button pins. Camila started her collection with 20 button pins and collects 5 button pins per month. Let y represent the total number of button pins Camila has collected and x represent the number of months Camila collects button pins.

Graph this linear relationship.

Select two points to graph the line.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Camilla started her collection with 20 buttons, meaning that this number is a constant, and that it will not change: (+20)

She then collects 5 buttons per month. Month is represented by the variable, x (given by the question), and there are 5 per month (so you multiply).

Set the equation:

Total pins = Amount of pins per month x amount of months + Amount of pins started.

y = 5x + 20

In this case, plug in the amount of months (x) to obtain your total (y):

When x = 0, y = 20

y = 5(0) + 20

y = 0 + 20

y = 20

When x = 1 , y = 25

y = 5(1) + 20

y = 5 + 20

y = 25

When x = 2, y = 30

y = 5(2) + 20

y = 10 + 20

y = 30

When x = 3, y = 35

y = 5(3) + 20

y = 15 + 20

y = 35

When x = 4, y = 40

y = 5(4) + 20

y = 20 + 20

y = 40

Note: This is a linear graph, so you can choose any of these given points (and more if you want to plot more). I would choose two that aren't too close to each other, unless you want a really small graph size.

Step-by-step explanation:

first u have to put the like terms together which are 7p and 19p when u move the 19p th 7p it turns to minus su have to minus 7p-19p which equals to -12 check if there is more like terms there arent so u have to keep the rest the same

Answer:

B. (5q - 12) / 12

Step-by-step explanation:

7p + 5q = 19p + 12

So, we are looking for p, let's move all the p on the left, and the rest on the right

7p + 5q = 19p + 12

7p - 19p = 12 - 5q

-12p = 12 - 5q

Now to get single p we need to divide both sides by -12

-12p = 12 - 5q

p = [tex]\frac{12 - 5q}{-12}[/tex]

We don't have answer like this, so we have to get rid of the minus from this equation. To do so, we have to multiply the fraction's top and bottom by (-1)

[tex]\frac{12 - 5q}{-12} * \frac{-1}{-1} = \frac{- 12 + 5q}{12}[/tex]

all right, we almost got it, now let's change the order in top of the fraction:

p = [tex]\frac{- 12 + 5q}{12}[/tex]

p = [tex]\frac{5q - 12}{12}[/tex]

And it's done
