There are 4 windows in the living room. Each window has 1 set of blinds and 2 panels of curtains. The blinds cost $20 each. Each curtain panel cost $28. How much do the window treatments cost?

Answers

Answer 1
4X2=8 8x28= 224
4x20= 80
80+224=304


$304 total
Answer 2

Answer:

$304

Step-by-step explanation:

4 Windows (each window has 1 blind and 2 panels of curtains)

1 blind = $20 * 4 = $80

1  panels curtains = $28 * 2 = $56 * 4 = $224

$80 + $224 = $304

optimization equation: profit = ____x+____y
your maximum profit is $____ .you should produce ____ boxes of milk chocolate and ____ boxes of white chocolate .

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea here is to create lines according to the constraints we were given, graph the lines (which are actually inequalities), and then shade in the region that satisfies the inequality. Let's start at the beginning of the problem and we'll get our lines (inequalities) written.

The total number of boxes that can be produced according to the constraints is 800, so the inequality for that is

x + y ≤ 800 and solving for y:

y ≤ 800 - x

Another constraint on the white chocolate is that it has to be less than or equal to 200 boxes, so:

y ≤ 200

The max number of white chocolate boxes is half the number of milk chocolate, so:

y ≤ (1/2)x

The min number of milk chocolate boxes produced is:

x ≥ 0 and

The min number of white chocolate boxes produced is:

y ≥ 0 (This means that it is a possibility of making 0 milk chocolate boxes and all white chocolate boxes OR there is a possibility of making 0 white chocolate boxes and all milk chocolate boxes)

The production equation (which is used later) is:

2.25x + 2.50y (you make a profit of $2.25 on every milk chocolate box you sell and profit of $2.50 on every white chocolate box you sell).

The bold equations are the ones that need to be graphed (see graph below). Where those 3 lines intersect are the vertices of feasible region:

(0, 0), (400, 200), (600, 200), (800, 0).

Then take each x and y value from a coordinate and plug it into the profit equation (we don't need to use (0, 0)) starting with x = 400 and y = 200:

2.25(400) + 2.5(200) = $1400

Now using x = 600 and y = 200:

2.25(600) + 2.5(200) = $1850

Now using x = 800 and y = 0:

2.25(800) + 2.5(0) = $1800

So our max profit as seen by the evaluations is $1850, and that occurs when we sell 600 boxes of milk chocolate and 200 boxes of white chocolate.

Suppose a rumor is going around a group of 210 people. Initially, only 34 members of the group have heard the rumor, but 3 days later 69 people have heard it. Using a logistic growth model, how many people are expected to have heard the rumor after 6 days total have passed since it was initially spread? (Round your answer to the nearest whole person.)

Answers

Answer:

116 people are expected to have heard the rumor after 6 days total have passed since it was initially spread.

Step-by-step explanation:

Logistic function:

The logistic function is given by:

[tex]P(t) = \frac{K}{1 + Ae^{-kt}}[/tex]

In which:

[tex]A = \frac{K - P(0)}{P(0)}[/tex]

Considering that K is the carrying capacity, k is the growth/decay rate and P(0) is the initial population.

Suppose a rumor is going around a group of 210 people.

This means that [tex]K = 210[/tex]

Initially, only 34 members of the group have heard the rumor:

This means that [tex]P(0) = 34[/tex] and:

[tex]A = \frac{210 - 34}{34} = 5.1765[/tex]

So

[tex]P(t) = \frac{210}{1 + 5.1765e^{-kt}}[/tex]

3 days later 69 people have heard it.

This means that [tex]P(3) = 69[/tex], and we use this to find k.

[tex]69 = \frac{210}{1 + 5.1765e^{-3k}}[/tex]

[tex]69 + 357.1785 e^{-3k} = 210[/tex]

[tex]357.1785 e^{-3k} = 141[/tex]

[tex]e^{-3k} = \frac{141}{357.1785}[/tex]

[tex]\ln{e^{-3k}} = \ln{\frac{141}{357.1785}}[/tex]

[tex]-3k = \ln{\frac{141}{357.1785}}[/tex]

[tex]k = -\frac{\ln{\frac{141}{357.1785}}}{3}[/tex]

[tex]k = 0.3098[/tex]

So

[tex]P(t) = \frac{210}{1 + 5.1765e^{-0.3098t}}[/tex]

How many people are expected to have heard the rumor after 6 days total have passed since it was initially spread?

This is P(6), so:

[tex]P(6) = \frac{210}{1 + 5.1765e^{-0.3098*6}} = 116[/tex]

116 people are expected to have heard the rumor after 6 days total have passed since it was initially spread.

Write an equation for a line containing (–2,8) that is perpendicular to the line containing the points (3,–4)and (–7,1).





Answer and I will give you brainiliest

Answers

Answer:

y = 2x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for a line is typically

y = ax + b

a is the slope of the line (expressed as y/x ratio describing how many units y changes, when x changes a certain amount of units).

b is the offset of the line in y direction (for x=0).

we have the points (3, -4) and (-7, 1).

to get the slope of the line let's wander from left to right (x direction).

to go from -7 to 3 x changes by 10 units.

at the same time y changes from 1 to -4, so it decreases by 5 units.

so, the slope is -5/10 = -1/2

and the line equation looks like

y = -1/2 x + b

to get b we simply use a point like (3, -4)

-4 = -1/2 × 3 + b

-4 = -3/2 + b

-5/2 = b

so, the full line equation is

y = -1/2 x - 5/2

now, for a perpendicular line the slope exchanges x and y and flips the sign.

in our case this means +2/1 or simply 2.

so, the line equation for the perpendicular line looks like

y = 2x + b

and to get b we use the point we know (-2, 8)

8 = 2×-2 + b

8 = -4 +b

12 = b

so, the full equation for the line is

y = 2x + 12

Answer:

2x-y+12= 0 or y = 2x+12 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of the line joining (3,-4) and (-7,1) is 1-(-4)/-7-3

= -5/10

= - 1/2

slope of the line containing (-2,8) and that is perpendicular to the line containing (3,-4) and (-7,1) = 2

Equation of the line line containing (-2,8) and that is perpendicular to the line containing (3,-4) and (-7,1) is y-8 = 2(x-(-2))

y-8 = 2(x+2)

y- 8 = 2x+4

y=2x+12 (slope- intercept form) or 2x-y+12= 0 (point slope form)

Flying with a tailwind, a flight crew flew 500 km in 4 hours. Flying against the tailwind, the crew flew 468 km in 4 hours. Find the speed of the plane in calm air and the speed of the wind, both in km per hour.

Answers

Answer:

spped of the plane in calm air=121 km/h

speed of the wind= 4km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say V the speed of the plane in calm air

and v the speed of the wind

Flying with a tailwind, a flight crew flew 500 km in 4 hours ==> 500= (V+v)*4

Flying against the tailwind, the crew flew 468 km in 4 hours ==> 468 = (V-v)*4

We divide the 2 equations by 4 and then add the 2 results equations:

(500+468)/4=2V ==> V=121 (km/h)

We replace that value in the first equation:

V+v=500/4=125

v=125-121=4 (km/h)

Choosing which 2 books describes a pair of dependent events?

Answers

Answer:

D: one of the non-fiction books on the bottom shelf and a second non-fiction book from the bottom shelf

Step-by-step explanation:

A pair of 2 dependent events are simply those in which the choice of the second item depends on taking the first item such that the probability changes.

Because when the first item is taken without replacement, the sample size would have reduced and as such picking the exact same item will reduce the probability.

Now, what this means in relation to the question is that for 2 of the events to be independent, they must be on the same shelf and of same type of book such that the second book can't be selected until the first one has been selected.

The only option that fits this definition is option D where both books are on the same shelf and they are same type of books.
