A company needs to package 2,400 pencils. A box in the shape of a rectangular prism can hold 60 pencils. A cylindrical container can hold 80 pencils. Each box costs the company $0. 50, while each cylindrical container costs $0. 75. Which packaging should the company use to minimize cost? Explain. The rectangular prism boxes should be used because they will cost the company $2. 50 less than using the cylindrical containers. The cylindrical containers should be used because they will cost the company $2. 50 less than using the rectangular boxes. The rectangular prism boxes should be used because they will cost the company $5. 00 less than using the cylindrical containers. The cylindrical containers should be used because they will cost the company $5. 00 less than using the rectangular boxes.

Answers

Answer 1

The true statement is (a) The rectangular prism boxes should be used because they will cost the company $2. 50 less than using the cylindrical containers.

The given parameters are:

[tex]Pencils = 2400[/tex] --- the pencils needed

The number of pencils the prism can hold is:

[tex]Prism =60[/tex]

Divide the number of pencils needed by the number of pencils in 1 rectangular prism, to calculate the number of prisms needed (n1)

[tex]n_1 = \frac{Pencils}{Prism}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]n_1 = \frac{2400}{60}[/tex]

[tex]n_1 = 40[/tex]

A rectangular prism costs $0.50.

So, the total cost is:

[tex]Total\ cost = 40 \times 0.50[/tex]

[tex]Total\ cost = \$20[/tex]

The number of pencils the cylinder can hold is:

[tex]Cylinder=80[/tex]

Divide the number of pencils needed by the number of pencils in 1 cylinder box, to calculate the number of cylinders needed (n2)

[tex]n_2 = \frac{Pencils}{Cylinder}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]n_2 = \frac{2400}{80}[/tex]

[tex]n_2 = 30[/tex]

A cylinder costs $0.75.

So, the total cost is:

[tex]Total\ cost = 30 \times 0.75[/tex]

[tex]Total\ cost = $22.5[/tex]

By comparison, the rectangular prism costs $2.5 less than the cylinder

Hence, the true statement is (a)

solve for missing side

Answers

Answer:

50.99

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

x = −38

Step-by-step explanation:

You have an angle: 50 and the opposite side: 10 and you need the hypotenuse.

For this problem, you need to use Sin

Sin (50) = 10/x

Multiply both sides by x

X (Sin(50)) = 10

Then divide by (Sin(50))

x = 10/ Sin(50)

x = −38

Rachel has 37 videos and decides to purchase 2 more each week. Write an equation describing this situation.

Answers

Answer:

T = 2w + 37

Step-by-step explanation:

Let T represent the total amount of videos Rachel has after w weeks

Rachel already owns 37 videos

She purchases 2 more each week

Therefore, after w weeks, the total amount of videos Rachel has can be represented by the expression:

2w + 37

Then the total after w weeks can be modeled by the equation:

T = 2w + 37

Answers

Answer: hello your question lacks some data hence I will be making an assumption to help resolve the problem within the scope of the question

answer:

≈ 95 units ( output level )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data :

P = 2000 - Q/10

TC = 2Q^2 + 10Q + 200 ( assumed value )

The output level where a purely monopolistic market will maximize profit

at MR = MC

P = 2000 - Q/10 ------ ( 1 )

PQ = 2000Q - Q^2 / 10 ( aka TR )

MR = d (TR ) / dQ = 2000 - 2Q/10 = 2000 - Q/5

TC = 2Q^2 + 10Q + 200 ---- ( 2 )

MC = d (TC) / dQ = 4Q + 10

equating MR = MC

2000 - Q/5 = 4Q + 10

2000 - 10 = 4Q + Q/5

1990 = 20Q + Q

∴ Q = 1990 / 21 = 94.76 ≈ 95 units ( output level )

Double Tower of Hanoi: In this variation of the Tower of Hanoi there are three poles in a row and 2n disks, two of each of n different sizes, where n is any positive integer. Initially one of the poles contains all the disks placed on top of each other in pairs of decreasing size. Disks are transferred one by one from one pole to another, but at no time may a larger disk be placed on top of a smaller disk. However, a disk may be placed on top of one of the same size. Let tn be the minimum number of moves needed to transfer a tower of 2n disks from one pole to another.

a. Find q and t2.

b. Find t3.

c. Find a recurrence relation for t1, t2, t3, ....

Answers

Answer:

a) t1 = 2 , t2 = 6

b) t3 = 14

c)  recurrence relation ( Tn ) = 2Tn-1 + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Tn = minimum number of moves needed

2n disks is moved from one pole to another

a) determine the value of t1 and t2

let n = 1

2n moves = 2 * 1 = 2

∴ t1 = 2

let n = 2

2n moves = 2*2 = 4

∴ t2 = 4 + t1 = 4 + 2 = 6

b) determine value of t3

let n = 3

2n moves = 2 * 3 = 6

∴ t3 = t1 + t2 + 6

       = 2 + 6 + 6 = 14

c) Determine th recurrence relation

let n ≥ 2  i.e. n - 1 ≥ 1

number of disk required to be moved = 2n

number disks as follows : 1 to 2n

the recurrence relation = sum of number of moves in each step

                                    Tn = Tn-1 + 2 + Tn -1

hence recurrence relation ( Tn ) = 2Tn-1 + 2   when all integers n ≥ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an inequality and asked to solve for the variable w.

[tex]7w < -56[/tex]

In order to solve for w, we must isolate the variable. It is being multiplied by 7. The inverse of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides of the inequality by 7.

[tex]\frac {7w}{7} < \frac {-56}{7}[/tex]

[tex]w < \frac{-56}{7}[/tex]

[tex]w < -8[/tex]

w is less than -8 or w < -8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential function

An exponential function is in the form:

y = abˣ

where y, x are variables, a is the initial value of y and b is the multipliers.

Let y represent the bacteria population after x hours.

The class started out with 650 bacteria cells.

a = 650

Growth rate = 4.5%

b = 100% + 4.5% = 104.5% = 1.045

The exponential function gotten from the table is given by y = 650(1.045)ˣ

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

A solution for a system of equations entails that all variables are the same. In this case, it means that both x and y must be the same.

Looking at the graph, there is no spot where y=3x+3 and 3x-y=2 intersect

To confirm, we can look at the equations. If we make them both equal to y, we can set them equal to each other.

For y=3x+3, this is already set to y. For 3x-y=2, we can add y to both sides and subtract 2 from both sides to get

3x-2=y

3x+3=y

Since the x and y values must be the same, we can say that

3x-2=3x+3

subtract 3x from both sides

-2 = 3

Since -2 is not equal to 3, we can confirm that there are no solutions to this system of equations
