12. ALGEBRA Sherri Cole found that the 12-ounce can of frozen orange juice
sells for $0.16 less than the 16-ounce can, which is $0.68 less than the
24-ounce can. If the unit price of the 24-ounce can is $0.005 less than the
unit price of the 12-ounce can, which of the three is the best buy based
on the lowest unit price?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

96 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to use cents instead of dollars because I find decimals and fractions to be cumbersome. I assume you meant $.005 instead of 4.005.

Let x denote the price (in cents) of the 12-ounce can. Then the price of the 16-ounce can is (x + 16) cents, and the price of the 24-ounce can is ((x + 16) + 68), or (x + 84) cents.

The unit price (cents per ounce) of the 12-oz can is x/12

The unit price of the 16-oz can is (x + 16)/16

The unit price of the 24-oz can is (x + 84)/24

You are told that, in terms of x,

(x + 84)/24 = x/12 - 0.5

Multiply both sides by 24:

x + 84 = 2x - 12

Solve for x:

96 = x

So the unit prices (in cents per ounce) are:

12 oz: 96/12 = 8 cents/oz

16 oz: 112/16 = 7 cents/oz

24 oz: 180/24 = 7.5 cents/oz

So the 16 ounce can is the best buy based on lowest unit price.

Answer 2

In this exercise we have to use the knowledge of finance to calculate the best price to be offered, in this way:

[tex]12 oz: 96/12 = 8 cents/oz\\16 oz: 112/16 = 7 cents/oz\\24 oz: 180/24 = 7.5 cents/oz[/tex]

Some values ​​should be simplified as they were informed in the statement:

The unit price (cents per ounce) of the 12-oz can is x/12The unit price of the 16-oz can is (x + 16)/16The unit price of the 24-oz can is (x + 84)/24

So putting together an equation with these values ​​and terms informed we find that:

[tex](X + 84)/24 = X/12 - 0.5\\X + 84 = 2X - 12\\X=96[/tex]

So with the value of X found it is only necessary to use the previous equations and replace this value.

Answer:

11=x

Step-by-step explanation:

since the lines are parallel the distances between each section of line is proportional to each other.

5/6=(x-1)/12

multiply both sides by 12

12(5/6)=(x-1)12/12

10=(x-1)

add 1 to both sides

10+1=x-1+1

11=x

Which of the following shows the extraneous solution to the logarithmic equation log7(3x^3+x)-log7(x)=2?

The extraneous solution to the logarithmic equation log₇(3x²+x)-log₇x=2 is x=16

What is logarithm?

When you raise a number with an exponent, there comes a result.

Lets say you get[tex]a^b = c[/tex]

Then, you can write 'b' in terms of 'a' and 'c' using logarithm as follows

[tex]b = \log_a(c)[/tex]

'a' is called base of this log function. We say that 'b' is the logarithm of 'c' to base 'a'

We are given the function as;

log₇(3x²+x)-log₇x=2

Domian: 3x²+x>0

x(3x+1)>0

x∈(-∞,-1/3)U(0,∞)

Hence, x∈(0,∞), Thus x∈(0,∞)

In this problem we use the following formula:

 [tex]\boxed {log_ax-log_ay=log_a\frac{x}{y}}\displaystyle\\log_7(3x^2+x)-log_7x=2\\\\log_7(x(3x+1))-log_7x=2(1)\\\\log\frac{x(3x+1)}{x} =2(log_77)\\\\log(3x+1)=log_77^2\\\\log_7(3x+1)=log_749\\\\\\\\3x+1=49\\\\3x+1-1=49-1\\\\3x=48\\\\x=16[/tex]

a)  y = 2 x - 1

b)  y = - x + 7

c)  y = 7 x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a pair of (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) points to find the equation of the line for each tables:

a) (5, 9) and (10, 19)

slope: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (19 - 9) / (10 - 5) = 10 / 5 = 2

Then  y = 2 x + b

solve for b in:  9 = 2 (5) + b

b = 9 - 10 = -1

Then   y = 2 x - 1

b) (2, 5) and (5, 2)

slope: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (2 - 5) / (5 - 2) = -3 / 3 = -1

Then  y = - x + b

solve for b in:  5 = - (2) + b

b = 5 + 2 = 7

Then   y = - x + 7

c) (3, 23) and (6, 44)

slope: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (44 - 23) / (6 - 3) = 21 / 3 = 7

Then  y = 7 x + b

solve for b in:  23 = 7 (3) + b

b = 23 - 21 = 2

Then   y = 7 x + 2

O B. g(x) = fx-4)
OC.
g(x) = f(x + 4)
OD. g(x) = f(x) + 4

Answers

Answer:

A.)  g (x) = f (x) - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we are going to do in this case is to take into account the following definition.

Translations are transformations that change the position of the graph of a function.

The general shape of the graph of a function is moved up, down, to the right or to the left.

The translations are considered rigid transformations. Now we will see how these are performed.

Vertical translations:

Suppose that k> 0

To graph y = f (x) + k, move the graph of k units up.

To graph y = f (x) -k, move the graph of k units down.

Using the definition we conclude that:

g (x) = f (x) - 4

Two exponential functions, fand g, are shown in the figure, where g is a transformation of f, g (x) = f (x) - 4 equation shows transformation of f. The correct option is A.

What is exponential function?

A mathematical function of the form [tex]f(x) = a^x[/tex], where an is a positive constant and x is the input variable, is an exponential function.

The characteristic curve of exponential functions rises or falls rapidly depending on whether an is greater or less than 1.

To determine the transformation of f which gives g, we need to examine how f has been transformed to obtain g.

Looking at the graph, we can see that g is a vertical shift of f. Specifically, g is obtained by shifting f downward by 2 units. Therefore, we need a rule that subtracts 2 from f (x) to get g (x).

Out of the given options, the only one that matches this description is:

g (x) = f (x) - 4

Option A subtracts 4 from f (x), which is not what we observe in the graph. Option B uses an incorrect format and is also subtracting 4 from  f (x).

Option C adds 4 to x, which would result in a horizontal shift, not a vertical shift.

Therefore, the correct answer is A g (x) = f (x) - 2.

Student Council is selling tickets to the Winter
Dance. Tickets cost $5 per person or $8 per
couple. To cover expenses, at least $1200
worth of tickets must be sold. No more than 500
students can fit in the gym where the dance is
being held.
List two combinations of tickets that could be sold, so
that Student Council makes a profit, yet stays under the
room capacity.

Answers

Answer:

Two possible combinations are;

1) 200 single and 30 couples

2) 150 single and 57 couples

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameter in the question are;

The cost of ticket per person = $5

The cost of tickets per couple = $8

The minimum worth of tickets to be sold = $1,200

The maximum number of students that can fit in the gym = 500

Let 'x' represent the number of single persons that attend the dance and let 'y' represent the number of couple that attend, we have;

5·x + 8·y ≥ 1,200

x + y ≤ 500

Making 'y' the subject of both equations gives;

y ≥ 150 - 5·x/8

y ≤ 500 - x

From the graph of the inequalities created with Microsoft Excel, we have;

When x = 200, and y = 30, we get;

5 × 200 + 8 × 30 = 1240 > 1200

200 + 30 × 2 = 460 < 500

We also have;

x = 150, and y = 57, we get

Equating both values of 'y', we get;

5 × 150 + 8 × 57 = 1206 > 1200

150 + 57 × 2 = 264 < 500

Therefore, from the acceptable region in the graph, we have the following two possible combinations

1) 200 single and 30 couples

2) 150 single and 57 couples
