A charter school did a local beach cleanup. They collected a total of 55 pounds of plastic bottles and aluminum cans. The California refund value for plastic is $1.60 per pound and $1.28 per pound for aluminum. The school recycled a total of $77.60 worth of plastic and aluminum. How many pounds of each, plastic and aluminum, did the class collect?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Plastic is 22.5 pounds and aluminum is 32.5 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

total junk = 55 pounds

Value of plastic = $ 1.60 per pound

Value of aluminum = $ 1.28 per pound

Total value= $ 77.60

Let the plastic is p and the aluminum is 55 - p.

Total cost

77.60 = 1.6 p + (55 - p) x 1.28

77.60 =  1.6 p + 70.4 - 1.28 p

7.2 = 0.32 p

p = 22.5 pounds

So, plastic is 22.5 pounds and aluminum is 32.5 pounds.

Fatima purchased a new mattress when it was on sale. The sale price was 27% less than the regular price. If the sale price was $409, what was the original price? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar).

Answers

Answer:

560

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price

27% off

original price minus discount = new price

x - .27x = new price

.73x = new price

.73x = 409

Divide each side by .73

.73x/.73 = 409/.73

x=560.2739726

Please help!!! what is x: |6n+7|=8

Answers

Answer:

-5/2, 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

|6n+7|=8

6n+7=8

n=1/6

6n+7=-8

n=-5/2

Answer:

[tex]n=-\frac{5}{2}[/tex] and [tex]n=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no x variable present in the question, but if you are asking for the value of n, I can help with that.

The absolute value function always results in a positive number, so that means 6n+7 can equal 8 or negative 8, and the absolute value function takes care of the rest. First, we will solve for 6n + 7 equaling 8.

[tex]6n+7=8[/tex]

Subtracting 7 from both sides gets us

[tex]6n=1[/tex]

Dividing by 6 from both sides is equal to

[tex]n=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Now we will solve for 6n + 7 equaling negative 8.

[tex]6n+7=-8[/tex]

Subtracting 7 from both sides is equal to

[tex]6n=-15[/tex]

Dividing by 6 from both sides gets us

[tex]n=-\frac{15}{6}[/tex]

Simplifying, we have

[tex]n=-\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Does the point (0, 0) satisfy the equation y = 9x?

Answers

Answer:

yes it does

Step-by-step explanation:

because the equation y=9x does not have a y-intercept (all slopes come in the form y=mx+b -- it can be written differently though) and since there is no 'b' that means the y-intercept is 0. So whenever there is no y-intercept, the slope starts at 0.

josue bought 7 pounds of pretzels at a local wholesaler for $16.80. his friend ricardo bought 5 pounds of pretzels at the supermarket for $12.75. Ricardo thinks he got the better deal because $12.75 is less than $16.80. Is Ricardo's reasoning correct? Explain why or why not.

Answers

(josue) 16.8/7 = $2.4 per lb
(ricardo) 12.75/5 = $2.55 per lb

ricardo is incorrect because if you solve for the price per pound ( price/amount ), josue paid $2.40 for each pound of pretzels while ricardo paid $2.55 per pound. ricardo ended up paying more.

a. What would be the optimal dimensions (radius and height) to minimize surface area?

b. What would the surface area be?

C. Suggest at least two reasons why this is different from the ice cream packaging that you see in the stores.​

Answers

Answer:

a. The radius r = 5.42 cm and the height h = 10.84 cm

b. 553.73 cm²

c. i. Beauty ii. Design

Step-by-step explanation:

a. What would be the optimal dimensions (radius and height) to minimize surface area?

The volume of the standard container is a cylinder and its volume is V = πr²h where r = radius of container and h = height of container.

Since V = 1000 cm³,

1000 cm³ = πr²h  (1)

Now, the surface area of a cylinder is A = 2πr² + 2πrh where r and h are the radius and height of the cylinder.

From (1), h = 1000/πr².

Substituting h into A, we have

A = 2πr² + 2πrh

A = 2πr² + 2πr(1000/πr²)

A = 2πr² + 2000/r

To maximize A, we differentiate A with respect to r and equate to zero to find the value of r at which A is maximum.

So, dA/dr = d[2πr² + 2000/r]/dr

dA/dr = d[2πr²]/dr + d[2000/r]/dr

dA/dr = 4πr - 2000/r²

Equating the equation to zero, we have

4πr - 2000/r² = 0

4πr = 2000/r²

r³ = 2000/4π

r = ∛(1000/2π)

r = 10(1/∛(2π))

r = 10(1/∛(6.283))

r = 10/1.8453

r = 5.42 cm

To determine if this value of r gives a minimum for A, we differentiate dA/dr with respect to r.

So, d(dA/dr)/dr = d²A/dr²

= d[4πr - 2000/r²]/dr

= d[4πr]/dr - d[2000/r²]/dr

= 4π  + 4000/r³

Substituting r³ = 2000/4π into the equation, we have

d²A/dr² = 4π  + 4000/r³ = 4π  + 4000/(2000/4π) = 4π  + 2 × 4π = 4π + 8π = 12π > 0

Since d²A/dr² = 12π > 0, then r = 5.42 cm gives a minimum for A.

Since h = 1000/πr²

h = 1000/π(5.42)²

h = 1000/92.288

h = 10.84 cm

So, the radius r = 5.42 cm and the height h = 10.84 cm

b. What would the surface area be?

Since the surface area, A = 2πr² + 2πrh

Substituting the values of r and h into A, we have

A = 2πr² + 2πrh

A = 2πr(r + h)

A = 2π5.42(5.42 + 10.84)

A = 10.84π(16.26)

A = 176.2584π

A = 553.73 cm²

There are 200 ounces in 6 liters. How many milliliter (ml) are in 6 liters? (How to do in dimensional analysis?)

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  6000 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The prefix "milli-" is an SI standard prefix meaning 1/1000. So, 1 mL = (1/1000)L.

When doing dimension changes, you always want to use scale factors that have a value of 1, which is to say the numerator is equal to the denominator. For converting liters to milliliters, the scale factor you want will have mL in the numerator and L in the denominator:

  (1 mL)/(1/1000 L)   or   (1000 mL)/(1 L)

To do your conversion, multiply your liter volume by this factor.

  [tex](6\text{ L})\times\dfrac{1000\text{ mL}}{1\text{ L}}=\dfrac{6\times1000\text{ mL$\cdot$L}}{1\text{ L}}=6000\text{ mL}[/tex]

6 liters is 6000 milliliters.

A person's email for one day contained a total of 78 messages. The number of spam
messages was two less than four times the number of other messages. How many of
the email messages were spam?

Answers

Answer:

62 of the email messages were spam

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of spam and other messages be s and o respectively.

Total number of messages= 78

s +o= 78 -----(1)

s= 4o -2 -----(2)

Substitute (2) into (1):

4o -2 +o= 78

Simplify:

5o -2= 78

+2 on both sides:

5o= 78 +2

5o= 80

Divide both sides by 5:

o= 80 ÷5

o= 16

Since s +o= 78, s= 78 -o.

s= 78 -16

s= 62

The y-intercept is (0,5).

The equation should be: [tex]y = 2x +5[/tex].

Hope this helps.

Answer:

y = 2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation in slope intercept form, we first have to find the slope of the two points.

The formula for finding the slope is:

[tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

We are given the points:

(-1, 3) and (2, 9)

x1, y1 and x2, y2.

[tex]\frac{9-3}{2-(-1)}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{6}{3}[/tex] or 2 (the slope).

The slope intercept form is written as:

y= mx + b

y=2x+b

To find b, we can plug in either of the points given. Personally, I like to work with positive numbers. I'll be using the point (2, 9), however, either point will get you to the same answer.

y=2x+b

9=2(2)+b

9=4+b

Now subtract 4 from both sides.

5=b

Which then leaves us with the equation:

y = 2x+5

Verify the given linear approximation at a = 0. Then determine the values of x for which the linear approximation is accurate to within 0.1. (Enter your answer using interval notation. Round your answers to three decimal places.) 1/((1 + 9x)^4) ≈ 1 − 36x

Answers

Answer:

Part 1)

See Below.

Part 2)

[tex]\displaystyle (-0.179, -0.178) \cup (-0.010, 0.012)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

The linear approximation L for a function f at the point x = a is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle L \approx f'(a)(x-a) + f(a)[/tex]

We want to verify that the expression:

[tex]1-36x[/tex]

Is the linear approximation for the function:

[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = \frac{1}{(1+9x)^4}[/tex]

At x = 0.

So, find f'(x). We can use the chain rule:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(x) = -4(1+9x)^{-4-1}\cdot (9)[/tex]

Simplify. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(x) = -\frac{36}{(1+9x)^{5}}[/tex]

Then the slope of the linear approximation at x = 0 will be:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(1) = -\frac{36}{(1+9(0))^5} = -36[/tex]

And the value of the function at x = 0 is:

[tex]\displaystyle f(0) = \frac{1}{(1+9(0))^4} = 1[/tex]

Thus, the linear approximation will be:

[tex]\displaystyle L = (-36)(x-(0)) + 1 = 1 - 36x[/tex]

Hence verified.

Part B)

We want to determine the values of x for which the linear approximation L is accurate to within 0.1.

In other words:

[tex]\displaystyle \left| f(x) - L(x) \right | \leq 0.1[/tex]

By definition:

[tex]\displaystyle -0.1\leq f(x) - L(x) \leq 0.1[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle -0.1 \leq \left(\frac{1}{(1+9x)^4} \right) - (1-36x) \leq 0.1[/tex]

We can solve this by using a graphing calculator. Please refer to the graph shown below.

We can see that the inequality is true (i.e. the graph is between y = 0.1 and y = -0.1) for x values between -0.179 and -0.178 as well as -0.010 and 0.012.
