A company has found that the demand for its product varies inversely as the price of the product. When the price x is 3.5 dollars, the demand is 400 units. Find a mathematical model that gives the demand y in terms of the price x in dollars.

I don't understand how to make this into an equation. Do I have enough variables?

Answers

Answer 1

A mathematical model that gives the demand y in terms of the price x in dollars.

y = 1400/ x

This is further explained below.

What is a mathematical model that gives the demand y in terms of the price x in dollars.?

Generally, The following formula would apply in the situation when there is an inverse link between y and x:

y = k/x

where k is constant.

In a relationship with an inverse connection, one variable will tend to decrease as the other variable grows.

y denotes the amount of demand.

x is equivalent to the cost.

400 = k/3.5

k = 400 * 3.5

k = 1,400

The following is the formula for the mathematical model that calculates the demand y based on the price x in dollars:

y = 1400/ x

Answers

The two values of y after factorizing the given quadratic equation are 0, -0.5

The given equation is quadratic as the order of the equation is 2. In a quadratic equation with a single variable, the variable will have two different values which satisfy the equation. These values of the variable can be real and different, real and equal, or imaginary.

So, there will be two values of y.

Consider the given equation,

10y^2 + 12y = 7y

10y^2 +12y - 7y = 0

10y^2 + 5y = 0

Since the coefficients of y and y^2 are both multiples of 5,

5*(2y^2 + y) = 0

2y^2 + y = 0

Taking y as a common factor,

y*(2y+1) = 0

Now, we get two cases,

y = 0 or 2y + 1 = 0 => y = -(1/2) = -0.5

Therefore, y = 0 or y = -0.5

The gestation period of humans ​(266 days) is​ _____ percent longer than the gestation period of dogs (65days).

Answers

The gestation period of humans ​ is​ 309.23% percent longer than the gestation period of dogs.

What is the percentage?

Percentage is the fraction out of an amount that is expressed as a number out of hundred. Percentage is a measure of frequency. The sign used to represent percentages is %. In order to convert a number to percentage, express the number as a fraction and multiply by 100.

Percent of gestation period = (difference in the gestation period of dogs and humans / gestation period of humans) x 100

[(266 - 65) / 56] x 100

(210 / 65) x 100 = 309.23%

The better deal is 1 cookie for 42 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the price of 1 cookie when the cookies are 8 for 3.44

Divide the total price by the number of cookies

3.44/8

.43

We can get 1 cookie for 42 cents  or 1 cookie for 43 cents

The better deal is 1 cookie for 42 cents because it is less money.

The better deal is the cookie for 42 cents.
When you divide $3.44 by 8 you get 0.43. So that means for each of the eight cookies ,it’s 43 cents in that box. But when you do 42 cents times eight,(0.42 x 8 = 3.36).

According to the question we can see that Adam first draws an arc on a line and draws the bisector, which gives him the error.

We know that when we construct an angle bisector, first we put the compass on the point of the angle and make an arc and from that arc we make two arcs that intersect at a point. Then we draw a ray from the point of angle to that intersecting point which gives us the angle bisector.

Here Adam didn't draw the arc from point R.

Elisa spent $120 on 12 rose bushes and 12 geraniums.
What is the cost of one geranium?

• $1
• $7
• $3
• $5

Answers

Answer:

One geranium is $3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r = roses and g = geraniums

14r + 8g = 122

12r + 12g = 120

Multiply first equation by -3 and the second by 2 (we are trying to get terms that cancel when we add the two equations)

-42r - 24g = -366

+24r + 24g = 240

Add

18r = 126

r = 7, so one rose is $7

Put this into either of the original equations

14(7) + 8g = 122

98 +8g = 122

8g = 24

g = 3, so one geranium is $3

Let x be the cost of roses and y be the cost of geraniums
122 = 14x + 8y
120 = 12x + 12y
1) solve for a variable
We can use second equation to find x and plug it in in terms of y
10 = x + y
X = 10 - y
2) plus it into first equation
122= 14(10 - y) + 8y
122 = 140 - 14y + 8y
6y = 18
Y = 3

Answers

Using the relation between velocity, distance and time, it is found that a rate of 102 km/h is needed for the rest of the trip to achieve the desired rate for the entire trip.

What is the relation between velocity, distance and time?

Velocity is distance divided by time, that is:

v = d/t.

For the first 120 km, the rate is of 90 km/h, hence the parameters are given as follows:

d = 120, v = 90.

Hence the time is given by:

90 = 120/t1

t1 = 120/90

t1 = 1.33 hours.

For the second part of the trip, the parameters are given as follows:

t = 1.25, v = 64.

The time is 1.25 hours because 15 minutes is one fourth(15/60) = 0.25 of an hour.

Hence the distance found as follows is:

64 = d/1.25

d = 1.25 x 64

d = 80

The distance for the first two parts is given by:

120 + 80 = 200 km.

This is equivalent to 7/8 of the trip, hence the total distance is:

7/8d = 200

d = 200 x 8/7

d = 228.57 km.

For a rate of 80 km, we have that the time has to be of:

80 = 228.57/t

t = 228.57/80

t = 2.86 hours.

The time of the first two parts is:

1.33 + 1.25 = 2.58 hours.

2.86 - 2.58 = 0.28 hours.

Hence the last 228.57 - 200 = 28.57 km have to be traveled in 0.28 hours, for a rate of:

v = 28.57/0.28 = 102 km/h.

A rate of 102 km/h is needed for the rest of the trip to achieve the desired rate for the entire trip.

for the two given fractions 3/4 and 1/6 we have:

sum = 11/12product = 1/8quotient  = 9/2

How to work with fractions?

Here we have two fractions, 3/4 and 1/6, and we want to find the sum, product, and quotient between them.

First let's do the sum:

3/4 + 1/6

We just need to find a common denominator, which can be 12, so we can rewrite it as:

9/12 + 2/12 = 11/12

The sum of the two fractions is 11/12

Now the product, it is, we multiply denominator with denominator and numerator with numerator, we will get:

(3/4)*(1/6) = (3*1)/(4*6) = 3/24 = 1/8

The product between the two fractions is equal to 1/8.

Finally, the quotient, this is:

The product between the first numerator and second denominator, and between the first denominator and second numerator, so the quotient becomes:

(3/4)/(1/6) = (3/4)*(6/1) = (3*6)/(4*1) = 18/4 = 9/2

Then we conclude that for the two given fractions 3/4 and 1/6 we have:

1) 2² × 2³ = 2^5     => using product of Powers

2) 2² × 3² = (2×3)² =      => using power of a Product

3) (2²)³ = 2^6      => using power of a power

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let us understand some terms like;

1) Exponentiation: It is the mathematical process of raising one integer to the power of another. The base is the first integer, while the exponent is the second.

2) Power: A power is a phrase that depicts the same component being multiplied repeatedly.

3) Exponent: The number of times the base is used as a factor is represented by the exponent.

Now, let us understand the 7 Laws of Exponents;

1) a^m × a^n = a^(m+n)   => Product With the Same Bases

2) a^m / a^n = a^(m-n)    => Quotient with Same Bases

3) (a^m)^n = a^(m×n)    => Power Raised to a Power

4) a^n × b^n = (ab)^n    => Product to a Power

5) a^n / b^n = (a/b)^n    => Quotient to a Power

6) a^0 = 1     => Zero Power

7) a^(-m) = 1/a^m    => Negative Exponent Rule

Furthermore, an equivalent numerical expression with whole-

1) 2² × 2³ = 2^5     => using product of Powers

2) 2² × 3² = (2×3)² = 6²      => using power of a Product
