Nuts Galore sells a trail mix containing dried banana chips, roasted almonds, and chocolate chips that sells for $6.52 per pound. The dried banana chips costs $4 per pound, the roasted almonds cost $8 per pound, and the chocolate chips cost $6 per pound. The amount of roasted almonds used is three times the amount of chocolate chips used. If they plan to make 100 pounds of this trail mix, how many pounds of each ingredient should be used

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]x = 28[/tex] ----- Banana

[tex]y = 54[/tex] ----- Almonds

[tex]z = 18[/tex] ---- Chocolate

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

[tex]x \to[/tex] banana

[tex]y \to[/tex] almonds

[tex]z \to[/tex] chocolate

So, we have:

[tex]x + y + z = 100[/tex] --- total used

[tex]4x + 8y + 6z = 652[/tex] -- i.e. 6.52 * 100 --- total sales from 100 pounds

[tex]y = 3z[/tex]

Required

The number of pounds of each (i.e. x, y and z)

Substitute [tex]y = 3z[/tex] in [tex]x + y + z = 100[/tex]

[tex]x + 3z + z = 100[/tex]

[tex]x + 4z = 100[/tex]

Make x the subject

[tex]x = 100 - 4z[/tex]

Substitute [tex]y = 3z[/tex] in [tex]4x + 8y + 6z = 652[/tex]

[tex]4x + 8 * 3z + 6z = 652[/tex]

[tex]4x + 24z + 6z = 652[/tex]

[tex]4x + 30z = 652[/tex]

Substitute [tex]x = 100 - 4z[/tex]

[tex]4(100 - 4z) + 30z = 652[/tex]

[tex]400 - 16z + 30z = 652[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]- 16z + 30z = 652-400[/tex]

[tex]14z = 252[/tex]

Divide by 14

[tex]z = 18[/tex]

Substitute [tex]z = 18[/tex] in [tex]x = 100 - 4z[/tex]

[tex]x = 100 - 4 * 18[/tex]

[tex]x = 100 - 72[/tex]

[tex]x = 28[/tex]

To calculate y, we have:

[tex]y = 3z[/tex]

[tex]y = 3 * 18[/tex]

[tex]y = 54[/tex]

A ball is thrown straight up into the air from an initial height of 5 feet at time t = 0. The height, in feet, of the ball above the ground is given by h(t), where t is measured in seconds for 0 ≤ t ≤ 15. Based on the values of t and h(t) given in the table, for which value of t would the speed of the ball most likely be the greatest?

t (seconds) 0 3 6 9 12 15
h(t) (feet) 5 12 15 11 6 0

Select one:
a. 2 seconds
b. 5 seconds
c. 9 seconds
d. 15 seconds

Answers

Answer:

5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of an object is the rate of distance over time. The value of time (t) at the greatest speed of the ball is at 2 seconds

First, we calculate the speed using:

[tex]Speed = \frac{h(t)}{t}[/tex] --- i.e. distance/time

At t = 0, h(t) = 5

So;

[tex]Speed = \frac{5}{0} = unde fine d[/tex]

At t = 3, h(t) = 12

[tex]Speed = \frac{12}{3} = 4[/tex]

At t = 6, h(t) = 15

[tex]Speed = \frac{15}{6} = 2.5[/tex]

At t = 9, h(t) = 11

[tex]Speed = \frac{11}{9} = 1.2[/tex]

At t = 12, h(t) = 6

[tex]Speed = \frac{6}{12} = 0.5[/tex]

At t = 15, h(t) = 0

[tex]Speed = \frac{0}{15} = 0[/tex]

By comparing the above values, we notice that as time and height increases, the value of speed reduces.

This means that the greatest value of speed will be at the least value of time (t).

From the given options, the least value of time is at:

[tex]t = 2[/tex]

Hence, the value of time (t) at the greatest speed of the ball is at 2 seconds

If the sequence 2, 4, 6, 10, 16, ... were to follow the same pattern as the Fibonacci sequence, what are the next three terms?

Answers

Answer:

26, 42, 68

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Fibonacci sequence, each number is equal to the sum of the two previous numbers. Denoting the sequence as a, we can say that

a₁=2

a₂=4

a₃=6

a₄=10

a₅=16

What we can see here is that each number a₃ or above is equal to the sum of its two previous numbers. For example, a₃ = a₁+a₂ = 2 +4 = 6

Therefore,

a₆ = a₄+a₅ = 10+16 = 26

a₇ = a₅+a₆ = 16 + 26 = 42

a₈ = a₆+a₇ = 26 + 42 = 68

Maximum and minimum value

Answers

Answer:

Maximum: 1

Minimum: -1

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can find the derivative of the function and then solve for when the derivative is equal to 0, finding the local maximum and minimum values in this function. Then, we can compare those points to the endpoints of the interval to find the maximum and minimum.

Using the Quotient Rule, we can say that

(f/g) ' = (f'g - fg')/(g²)

[tex]\frac{2x}{x^2+1}dx = \frac{\frac{d}{dx}(2x) * (x^2+1) - \frac{d}{dx} (x^2+1) * (2x) }{(x^2+1)^2} \\= \frac{2 *(x^2+1) - (2x)*(2x)}{(x^2+1)^2} \\[/tex]

Since we just need to solve for 0, we can disregard for the bottom part, resulting in

2(x²+1)-(2x)(2x) = 0

2x²+2-4x² = 0

2-2x² = 0

add 2x² to both sides to isolate the x² and its coefficient

2x² = 2

divide both sides by 2

x²=1

x = ±1

Therefore, we have 4 possible values for the maximum and minimum over this interval:

-2, -1, 0, 1

Trying each of these numbers into f(x),

f(-2) = -4/5

f(-1) = -2/2 = -1

f(0) = 0/1 = 0

f(1) = 2/2 = 1

Therefore, the maximum and minimum values of the function over the given interval are 1 and -1 respectively

now, putting x=12

y=kx

or, y=(3/2)×12

or, y=3×12/2

or, y=36/2

or, y=18

(b) let P=k/z

so, 4=k/200

or, k=800

when P = 10

P=k/z

or, 10=800/z

or, z=800/10

or, z=80
