Suppose that Omar's marginal utility for cups of coffee is constant at 1.5 utils per cup no matter how many cups he drinks. On the other hand, his marginal utility per doughnut is 10 for the first doughnut he eats, 9 for the second doughnut he eats, 8 for the third he eats, and so on (that is declining 1 unit for each additional doughnut consumed). Suppose that coffee costs $1.00 per cup and doughnuts $1.00 each, and Omar has a budget that he can spend only on doughnuts and coffee. How large would his budget need to be before he would spend a dollar on coffee?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The marginal utility per dollar of a commodity is obtained by:

Marginal utility of coffee = 5.5

Price of coffee = $1

The marginal utility of doughnut declines by 1 per additional unit of donut consumed :

10 / 1, 9 /1..... 1/1

Therefore , before a dollar can be spent on coffee, then the marginal. Utility of coffee should be greater than doughnut.

5.5 doughnuts will be purchased, at this time marginal utility of doughnut will be 5.5/1, the 6th doughnut will have a marginal utility of 5 which is less than that of coffee.

Cost of 5.5 donuts = $5.5

Cost of coffee = $1

Total = $(5.5 + 1) = $6.5

Michelle lives 4.5 miles from work. Kelly lives 5.6 kilometers from work. Staci lives 4,200 meters from work. Kyle lives 670,000 centimeters from work.

Answers

Answer:

Michelle < Staci < Kelly < Kyle

Kyle is the greatest distance from work, while Michelle is the closest to work.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

1 kilometer = 0.62137119 mile(s)

4.5 miles = 0.62137119 × 4.5 = 2.79617036 kilometers

4,200 meters = 4.2 kilometers

670,000 centimeters = 6.7 kilometers

So,

Michelle = 2.8 kilometers (rounded up)

Kelly = 5.6 kilometers

Staci = 4.2 kilometers

Kyle = 6.7 kilometers

So,

Michelle < Staci < Kelly < Kyle

Kyle is the greatest distance from work, while Michelle is the closest to work.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form perpendicular to the given equation through the given point
Y = -3x + 4
(6,-2)

Answers

Answer:

The equation in slope-intercept form perpendicular to the given equation [tex]y = -3x + 4[/tex] through the given point (6,-2) is [tex]\mathbf{y=\frac{1}{3}x}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write an equation in slope-intercept form perpendicular to the given equation through the given point

y = -3x + 4

(6,-2)

The general equation in slope intercept form is: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

We need to find slope and y-intercept.

Finding slope:

The given line is perpendicular to required line, so there slopes are opposite

The slope of given line [tex]y = -3x + 4[/tex] is m = -3, (By comparing it with general equation y=mx+b, we get m = -3)

The slope of required line is: [tex]m = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Finding y-intercept:

y-intercept can be found by using slope [tex]m = \frac{1}{3}[/tex] and the point(6,-2)

[tex]y=mx+b\\-2=\frac{1}{3}(-6)+b\\-2=-2+b\\b=-2+2\\b=0[/tex]

So, we get y-intercept b =0

Equation of required line:

So, the equation of required line having slope [tex]m = \frac{1}{3}[/tex] and y-intercept b =0 is:

[tex]y=mx+b\\y=\frac{1}{3}x+0\\y=\frac{1}{3}x[/tex]

So, the equation in slope-intercept form perpendicular to the given equation [tex]y = -3x + 4[/tex] through the given point (6,-2) is [tex]\mathbf{y=\frac{1}{3}x}[/tex]

No Solutions

When both sides of equation are different. For example, 3 = 4 which makes the equation false. That means the equation is false for all real numbers, thus having no solutions.

One Solution

A common type solution because you see this type of solution a lot. If you can solve the equation for a variable like x = 2 or s = 0. That's one solution.

Infinitely Many Solutions

When both sides are same like 3 = 3 or 7 = 7. That means the equation is true for all real numbers. You can see this type of solution by solving the equation with same both sides like 3x+2 = 3x+2.

AnswerBecause we can solve the equation for s-term. Therefore the answer is one solution

You plan to meet a friend at a local bowling alley on Sunday afternoon. Prior to bowling, you must pay an initial fee of $6.00 to rent shoes and will then pay $4.00 per game you play. Which equation (written in slope-intercept form) best models this scenario? Let y represent your total cost and x represent the number of games you play. Group of answer choices y = 4x + 6 y = 2x + 6 y = 6x + 4 y = 4x

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y = 4x + 6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Initial\ Fee = \$6.00[/tex]

[tex]Rate = \$4.00[/tex]

Required

Derive the linear equation

Let the number of games be x.

Let the total cost be y

So, if the rate of 1 game is $4

Then x games costs 4x

The total cost (y) is then calculated as:

y = Initial Fee + Cost of x games

Substitute values for initial fee and cost of x games

[tex]y = 6 + 4x[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]y = 4x + 6[/tex]

Sierra has a recipe she wants to make. She has to use eggs and sticks of butter. The ratio for these ingredients is 12 to 4 to make 4 batches. What will the equivalent ratio be if she wants to make 8 batches?

Answers

Answer:

24:8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Batch = eggs + sticks of butter

4 batches = 12:4

8 batches = 2 * 4 batches

Therefore, 8 batches = 2*(12:4)

8 batches = 24:8

Hence, the equivalent ratio Sierra would use if she wants to make 8 batches is 24 eggs to 8 sticks of butter.

Answer:

(a) When a = 4 and b = -5,  a² + b² - a·b = 61

(b) When a = 4 and b = -5,  a³·b + a·b² = -220

(c)  [tex]When \ a = 4 \ and \ b = -5, \ \dfrac{a - b}{a + b} + a -b = 0[/tex]

(d) When a = 4 and b = -5, (a + b)² - (a - b)² = 82

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates to evaluation of expressions, given the values of the variables, "a" and "b"

Where;

a = 4 and b = -5

(a) For a² + b² - a·b, we have;

a² + b² - a·b = 4² + (-5)² - 4 × (-5) = 16 + 25 + 20 = 41 + 20 = 61

(b) For a³·b + a·b² we have;

a³·b + a·b² = 4³·(-5) + 4·(-5)² = 64 × (-5) + 4 × 25 = -320 + 100 = -220

(c) For [tex]\dfrac{a - b}{a + b} + a -b[/tex], we have;

[tex]\dfrac{a - b}{a + b} + a -b = \dfrac{4 - (-5)}{4 + (-5)} + 4 - (-5) = \dfrac{4 + 5}{4 -5} + 4 + 5= \dfrac{9}{-1} + 4 + 5 = -9 + 4 + 5 = 0[/tex]

[tex]\therefore when \ a = 4 \ and \ b = -5, \ \dfrac{a - b}{a + b} + a -b = 0[/tex]

(d) For (a + b)² - (a - b)² we have;

(a + b)² - (a - b)² = (4 + (-5))² - (4 - (-5))² = (4 - 5)² - (4 + 5)² = (-1)² - 9² = 1 + 81 = 82

When a = 4 and b = -5, (a + b)² - (a - b)² = 82

I have a bag with yellow and blue marbles in it. At the moment, the ratio of blue marbles to yellow marbles is 4:3. If I add 5 blue marbles and remove 3 yellow marbles, the ratio will be 7:3. How many blue marbles were in the bag before I added more?

Answers

Answer:

4:7  7 being to total number of marbles (part to whole ratio)

There are 16 blue marbles were in the bag before I added more.

What is mean by Ratio?

A ratio indicates how many times one number contain in another number. The ratio of two number is written as x : y, which is equivalent to x/y. Where, x and y are individual amount of two quantities. And, Total quantity gives after combine as x + y.

Given that;

The ratio of blue marbles to yellow marbles is 4 : 3.

And,  If I add 5 blue marbles and remove 3 yellow marbles, the ratio will be 7:3.

Now,

Since, The ratio of blue marbles to yellow marbles is 4 : 3.

Hence, Number of blue marbles = 4x

Number of yellow marbles = 3x

And, If I add 5 blue marbles and remove 3 yellow marbles, the ratio will be 7:3.

Then, We can formulate;

⇒ 4x + 5 / 3x - 3 = 7x / 3x

⇒ (4x + 5) / (3x - 3) = 7 / 3

⇒ 3 (4x + 5) = 7 (3x - 3)

⇒ 12x + 15 = 21x - 21

⇒ 15 + 21 = 21x - 12x

⇒ 36 = 9x

⇒ x = 4

Thus, The number of blue marbles = 4x

                                                      = 4 × 4

                                                      = 16

Geothermal is second,approximately 30% while wind power contributes approximately 10%.The costs of the electricity in the state are relatively cheap compared with states whose main source of energy is hydrocarbon fuels. Geothermal power is the cheapest (even though initial investment is prohibitive). Hydrothermal is slightly expensive than geothermal due to the maintenance required and also is prone to fluctuations of the river regime. Winds are also cheap but initial investment if the wind farm is high.Hydrothermal energy has the biggest environmental impact compared to the other two.
