Retro Recyclers processes used plastics into milk containers and soda containers. The recycling plant can process up to 2000 tons of plastic a week. At least 900 tons must be processed for milk containers and at least 600 tons must be processed for soda containers. Retro earns $35 per tons for milk containers and $28 per ton for soda containers. Retro wants to figure out how many tons of plastic should be allocated for milk containers and how many tons for soda containers in order to maximize its weekly profit.

Define the variables, write the constraints, and write the objective function for this situation.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Objective function:

Maximize profit P = [tex]35x+28y[/tex]

subject to following constraints:

[tex]x\geq 900\\y\geq 600[/tex]

[tex]x+y\leq 2000\\x\geq 0\,,\,y\geq 0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The recycling plant can process up to 2000 tons of plastic a week. At least 900 tons must be processed for milk containers and at least 600 tons must be processed for soda containers.

Also, Retro earns $35 per tons for milk containers and $28 per ton for soda containers.

To find: objective function for the given situation

Solution:

Let x tons be used to make a milk container and y tones be used to make a soda container.

As at least 900 tons must be processed for milk containers and at least 600 tons must be processed for soda containers,

[tex]x\geq 900\\y\geq 600[/tex]

Also, as the recycling plant can process up to 2000 tons of plastic a week,

[tex]x+y\leq 2000[/tex]

Also, [tex]x\geq 0\,,\,y\geq 0[/tex]

Objective function:

Maximize profit P = [tex]35x+28y[/tex]

The height, h in feet, a ball with reach when thrown in the ais is a function of time, t, in seconds,given by the equation h(t)=-16t2+35t+10. Find, to the nearest tenth, the maximum height, in feet, the ball will reach. The time when it reached its maximum height. How many seconds after the ball is thrown it will hit the ground?

Answers

Answer:

The maximum height the ball will reach is 29,141 feet.

The time when it reached its maximum height is 1.094 seconds.

2,443 seconds after throwing the ball, it will touch the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function h (t) = - 16t² + 35t + 10 is a quadratic function of the form f (x) = ax² + bx + c, where a = -16, b = 35 and c = 10. To calculate the maximum height, you must then find the maximum of the function. In other words, Quadratic functions have a maximum (if a <0) or a minimum (if a> 0). This point is the vertex of the parabola.

The vertex coordinate on the x axis can be calculated by:

[tex]x=\frac{-b}{2*a}[/tex]

The value of the vertex on the y axis is obtained by substituting the value of "x vertex" in the function f (x), that is, by calculating f ([tex]\frac{-b}{2*a}[/tex]).

In this case, where h ([tex]\frac{-b}{2*a}[/tex]) is the maximum height:

[tex]t=\frac{-b}{2*a}=\frac{-35}{2*(-16)} =1.09375[/tex]≅ 1.094 seconds

So: h(1.094)= -16*1.094² + 35*1.094 + 10

h(1.094)=29.151

The maximum height the ball will reach is 29,141 feet.

The time when it reached its maximum height is 1.094 seconds.

To calculate the number of seconds after the ball is thrown it will hit the ground, you must calculate the roots of the quadratic function. For this you must apply:

[tex]x1,x2=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4*a*c } }{2*a}[/tex]  

where x1, x2 are the two roots of the function f(x)=a*x² +b*x + c

In this case:

[tex]t1,t2=\frac{-35+-\sqrt{35^{2}-4*(-16)*10 } }{2*(-16)}[/tex]

Solving, you get t1=-0.256 and t2=2.443

Since the time cannot be negative, 2,443 seconds after throwing the ball, it will touch the ground.

The radius of the base of a cylinder is 10 centimeters, and its height is 20 centimeters. A cone is used to fill the cylinder with water. The radius of the cone's base is 5 centimeters, and its height is 10 centimeters.
The number of times one needs to use the completely filled cone to completely fill the cylinder with water is

Answers

Well, we would find the volume of both the cylinder and the cone.

The formula to find the volume of a cylinder is V =  \pi  r^{2} h.

The formula to find the volume of a cone is V =  \frac{1}{3}  \pi  r^{2} h.

Now, when using pi (the symbol  \pi ), if the problem asks to use the approximate value of pi as 3.14, we'll use 3.14 to represent pi. If the problem asks for the exact answer, then we'll just put the pi sign next to our final answer we've gotten.

We can do both ways to solve with pi. Tho let's solve using the approximate value of pi.

One more thing. When there's an exponent in the problem, (such as  r^{2}  in the problem), that just means you would multiply the base, (which is r in  r^{2} ), by itself the number of times the exponent, (which is the number 2 in  r^{2} ), shows. For example, if it was  3^{2} , that would just mean we would multiply 3 times itself twice. So  3^{2}  would be the same as 3 times 3, which is 9. When you deal with variables in a problem, (the letters used to represent a value in the equation, such as a, b, c, d, etc.), they're solved in multiple ways. If a number is next to a variable, (for example, 3b), it would mean you are supposed to multiply the number times the variable. If a number is next to parenthesis, that would mean you would multiply the number times the answer from the parenthesis. In formulas, when all the letters and numbers are squished together in one line, that means you would multiply all of them times each other after they're individually solved. In this problem, r = radius and h = height.

So without further-a-do, let's begin! :)

So the question says that the radius of the cylinder is 10 centimeters, and the height is 20 centimeters. According to the formula given above, we would multiply the radius times itself twice, which would be 10 times 10, which equals 100, then multiply it by the height which is 20, so 100 times 20 = 2,000. If we were to find the exact volume, it would be 2,000 with the pi sign next to it, which would be 2,000 \pi . Though, let's find the volume with the approximate value of pi, 3.14. So 2,000 times 3.14 is 6280. The exact volume of the cylinder is 2,000 \pi and the approximate volume is 6280.

Now after we find the volume of the cone, we would need to find out how many times we'd need to use the cone to fill up the cylinder's volume.

To find the volume of the cone, we would do the same as last time. Since the cone's radius is 5 centimeters, and its height is 10 centimeters, we would first multiply the radius times itself twice, which would be 5 times 5, which is 25, then multiply that by the height, which would be 25 times 10, which is 250. The fraction part of the formula means this- the numerator "1" means you would multiply what you have so far times 1, and the denominator "3" means you will divide what you have so far NOW by 3. So 250 times 1 = 250, and 250 divided by 3 = 83.3333333333, though we'd say that answer up to the hundredths place, which would be 83.33. If you need the exact answer, we'd put the pi sign next to it as 83.33 \pi , and you're done.Tho we didn't find the approximate volume of the cone.So we'd trace back to what answer we had before moving on to the step with the fraction  \frac{1}{3} . Since we were on 250, we'd multiply that by 3.14, which is 785, and continue with what we did with the fraction. 785 times 1 = 785, and 785 divided by 3 = 261.666666667, and saying the answer up to the hundredths place, the approximate volume of the cone would be 261.66

Now since we know the volume of the cylinder, exact = 2,000 \pi  and approximate volume = 6280, this means this is how much of the cylinder should be filled when we use the cone to pour in the water.

We could easily determine this by division.

Finding with the exact volume, you would do 2,000 (from cylinder's volume) divided by 83.33 (from cone's volume), which is 24.0009600384, and since it's not a whole answer, you would move it up a whole number. Why you may ask? Well you can't pour 0.0009600384 of a cone's volume into the cylinder now can you? :P  So it would take 25 times of pouring the cone filled with water into the cylinder in order for the cylinder to be full using the exact volumes of both objects.

Now finding with the approximate volumes of both objects, we'd do the same we did last time. The cylinder's volume divided by the cone's volume, which is 6280 divided by 261.66, would be 24.0006114805, and saying the answer up to the hundredths place, 24.00, but for the same reason as the last one when we were using the exact volumes, we'd round 24 up a whole number, so it would approximately take 25 times to fill the cylinder with the cone.

Either way, using exact or approximate volumes, your final answer would be 25 times. =DI hope I helped! ^-^

By calculating the volume of cone and cylinder, we find that one need to 24 times use the completely filled cone to completely fill the cylinder with water.

What is volume of cone and cylinder?

The volume of cylinder is equal to the product of the area of the circular base and the height of the cylinder.

The volume of cone will be equal to one-third of the product of the area of the base and its height.

For a cylinder, the formula is πr²h. For a cone it is 1⁄3πr²h.

Volume of cylinder = π[tex]r^{2}[/tex]h =  π * 10* 10 * 20 = 2000π

Volume of cone =  [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]*π[tex]r^{2}[/tex]h = 1/3 *  π * 5 * 5 * 10 = 250 π/3

Number of times one needs to use the completely filled cone to completely fill the cylinder with water =

= Volume of cylinder/Volume of cone

= 2000π / (250π/3) = 24

One of the rules that applies when simplifying radical expressions, is that, only like radicals can be added together or subtracted from each other. In other words, the radicand, which is the number inside the "√" must be the same for two or more radicals to be added together or subtracted from each other.

In the expression given in the question, step 1 and step 2 are correct, as well as the final answer.

The final answer is correct because only like radicals can be added as 3√19 and 8√38 are unlike radicals. Their radicands, √19 and √38, are not the same, hence, the radicals do not need to be added.

The answer "3√19 + 8√38" is correct.

∠XAE = 20°

A circumcenter has equal distant from vertices of the triangle since radii of circles are congruent.

For the given figure, the midpoints is at Z, X, Y

And the perpendiculars also occur at Z, X, Y

∠Z = 90°

∠X = 90°

∠Y = 90°

∠XAE ∠AXE +∠AEX= 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)

∠AXE = ∠X = 90°

20° + 90° +∠AEX= 180°

110° +∠AEX= 180°

∠AEX = 180°-110°

17. Write an informal proof to show triangles ABC and DEF are similar.

Answers

The smaller triangle is DEF which has sides

DF = 1DE = 2EF = 3

The larger triangle ABC has side lengths of

AC = 2AB = 4BC = 6

Note how the sequence 2,4,6 is exactly double that of 1,2,3. Therefore, the sides of triangle ABC are twice as large as the corresponding sides of triangle DEF.

Put another way, computing the ratios of the corresponding sides all lead to the same value, so we have BC/EF = 6/3 = 2, and we have  AB/DE = 4/2 = 2, and finally AC/DF = 2/1 = 2. These three equations all confirm ABC is twice as large as DEF.

By the SSS (side side side) similarity theorem, we can conclude the triangles are similar. They have the same shape, but different size.
