Read the following situation:

There are 13 animals in the barn. Some are chickens and some are pigs. There are 40 legs in all. How many of each animal are there?

When setting up the system, what could the variables represent? Select all that apply.

Total number of chicken legs

Total number of pigs

How long until the number of pigs and chickens are equal.

How many animals in the barn

Total number of pig legs

Total number of chickens

Where the lines cross

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi, let's turn the word problem into a set of equations:

Let's say that x = # of chickens, and y = # of pigs

If there are 13 animals altogether, that means that

x + y = 13

If there are 40 legs together, we know that chickens have 2 legs, while pigs have 4, so the total number of legs would be:

2x + 4y = 40

We now have two different equations, with the same two variables, so we can rearrange and substitute one equation into the other to solve. We can rearrange the first equation as:

x + y = 13

x = 13 - y

Let's plug this expression for "x" into the second equation:

2(13-y) + 4y = 40

Now we have an equation with only one variable, so we can use algebra to solve for y:

26 - 2y + 4y = 40

2y = 14

y = 7, there must be 7 pigs.

From the first equation that we rearranged,

x = 13 - y

Now that we know the numerical value of "y", we can plug that in:

x = 13 - 7

x = 6, there must be 6 chickens

If 1700 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

Answer:

[tex]V = 6746.30cm^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Surface\ Area = 1700cm^2[/tex]

Required

Determine the largest possible volume

Represent the dimension with:

[tex]Height = h[/tex]

[tex]Sides = x[/tex]

Surface Area with an open top is:

[tex]Surface\ Area = x^2+ 4hx[/tex]

Substitute 1700 for Surface Area

[tex]1700 = x^2+ 4hx[/tex]

Make h the subject

[tex]4hx = 1700 - x^2[/tex]

[tex]h = \frac{1700 - x^2}{4x}[/tex]

The volume (V) is calculated as:

[tex]V = x^2h[/tex]

Substitute value for h in [tex]V = x^2h[/tex]

[tex]V = x^2*\frac{1700 - x^2}{4x}[/tex]

[tex]V = x*\frac{1700 - x^2}{4}[/tex]

[tex]V = \frac{1700x - x^3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]V = \frac{1700x}{4} - \frac{x^3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]V = 425x - \frac{x^3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]V = 425x - \frac{1}{4}x^3[/tex]

Differentiate and equate to 0, afterwards

[tex]V' =425 - \frac{3}{4}x^2[/tex]

[tex]425 - \frac{3}{4}x^2 = 0[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3}{4}x^2 = 425[/tex]

Solve for [tex]x^2[/tex]

[tex]x^2 = 425 * \frac{4}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x^2 = 566.67[/tex]

Take the square root of both sides

[tex]x = \sqrt{566.67[/tex]

[tex]x = 23.80[/tex]

Substitute 23.80 for x in [tex]h = \frac{1700 - x^2}{4x}[/tex]

[tex]h = \frac{1700 - 23.80^2}{4*23.80}[/tex]

[tex]h = \frac{1133.56}{95.20}[/tex]

[tex]h = 11.91[/tex]

So, the largest possible volume is:

[tex]V = x^2h[/tex]

[tex]V = 23.80^2 * 11.91[/tex]

[tex]V = 6746.30cm^3[/tex]

Suzy makes 20 dollars an hour at her job. Bill only makes 10 dollars an hour but he has a starting bonus of 20. When will Suzy and Bill make the same amount of money for the same number of hours worked? How much will they both earn at the same time?

Answers

Answer:

2 hours

Suzy would earn $40

Bill will earn $40

they will both earn $80

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount suzy earns is a function of the total hours worked. Let t represent time

total income of suzy = $20t eqn 1

Bill's income = starting bonus + variable pay

= $20 + $10t

We are looking for when they would earn the same amount :

20t = $20 + $10t  eqn 2

collect like terms and solve for t

10t = $20

t = 2 hours

Substitute for t in either eqn 1 or 2

20(2) = $40

Suzy would earn $40

Bill will earn $40

they will both earn $80

In Mr. Elliot's garden, 1 8 of the flowers are red, 1 4 of them are purple, and 1 4 of the remaining flowers are pink. If there are 128 flowers, how many flowers are pink?

Answers

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Red flowers = 1/8

Purple = 1/4

(1/8 + 1/4) = (1 + 2) / 8 = 3/8

Fraction left :

1 - 3/8 =. 5/8

Pink flowers :

1/4 of fraction left ;

1/4 * 5/8 = 5/32

Number of pink flowers

Total number of flowers = 128

5/32 * 128

640 / 32

= 20

20 pink flowers

a car with an initial value of $23,00 is decreasing in value at a rate of 8% each year. Write a function, f(x), that expresses the value of the car in x years

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as

A = P(1 - r/n)^ nt

Where

A represents the value after t years.

n represents the period for which the decrease in value is calculated

t represents the number of years.

P represents the value population.

r represents rate of decrease.

From the information given,

P = 23000

r = 8% = 8/100 = 0.08

n = 1

Therefore, the exponential decay function described in this situation is

A = 23000(1 - 0.08/n)1)^ 1 × t

A = 23000(0.92)^t

If A = 15000, then

15000 = 23000(0.92)^t

0.92^t = 15000/23000 = 0.6522

Taking log of both sides to base 10

Log 0.92^t = log 0.6522

tlog 0.92 = log 0.6522

- 0.036t = - 0.1856

t = - 0.1856/- 0.036

t = 5 years to the nearest year
