A farmer uses two types of fertilizers. A 50lb bag of fertilizer A contains 6 lb of nitrogen and 3lb of phosphorus. A 50 lb bag of fertilizer B contains 4 lb each of nitrogen and phosphorus. The minimum requirements for a field are 480 lb of nitrogen and 240 lb of phosphorus. If a 50lb bag of fertilizer A costs $35 and a 50 lb bag of fertilizer B costs $25 find the amount of each type of fertilizer the farmer should use to minimize his cost while still meeting the minimum requirements. mathematically formulate and state the problem.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Fertilizer A = 20, Fertilizer B = 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Set up the equations

Nitrogen: 8x + 5y ≥ 440

Phosphorous: 2x + 5y ≥ 260

Potassium: 4x + 5y ≥ 360

Step 2: Find the vertices

It is easiest to graph the equations to find the vertices. (see attachment).  You can also solve each system of equations to find the intersected points.

The following satisfy the "greater than or equal to" requirement:

(0, 88) → y-intercept of Nitrogen equation

(20, 56) → intersection of Nitrogen and Potassium equations

(50, 32) → intersection of Phosphorous and Potassium

(130, 0) → x-intercept of Potassium

Step 3: Use vertices in cost function C(x) to find the minimum

C(x) = $30x + $20y

(0, 88): $30(0) + $20(88) = $1760

(20, 56): $30(20) + $20(56) = $1720    ← This is the minimum!

(50, 32): $30(50) + $20(32) = $2140

(130, 0): $30(130) + $20(0) = $3900

The minimum cost occurs when 20 bags of Fertilizer A and 56 bags of Fertilizer B are purchased.

Scientific notation question in mathematics please answer
A newly discovered planet has a mass of 4.8743 · 10 22 kilograms. It's estimated that there is water on the surface and that, the water's mass is only 4 · 10 -2 percent of the planet's total mass. Use scientific notation to estimate the mass of the planet's water. In your final answer, include all of your estimates and calculations.

Answers

Answer:

1.94972 × 10¹⁹ kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of the planet:

4.8743 × 10²² kg

The water's mass:

4×10⁺²%

Mass of the planet's water:

4.8743 × 10²² * 4×10⁺² / 100 = 19.4972 × 10²²⁺²⁺² = 19.4972 × 10¹⁸ = 1.94972 × 10¹⁹

In a simple random sample of 120 women and 150 men from
a population of 150,000, 25% of the women and 37% of the men
are smokers. Suppose you are interested in comparing the
proportion of smokers by sex, compute the estimated standard
error.

Answers

From the information given, and applying the formula, it is found that the standard error of the difference in proportion of smokers by sex is 0.0558.

The proportion and the standard error for each sample are given by:

[tex]p_W = 0.25, s_W = \sqrt{\frac{0.25(0.75)}{120}} = 0.0395[/tex]

[tex]p_M = 0.37, s_M = \sqrt{\frac{0.37(0.63)}{150}} = 0.0394[/tex]

The standard error of the difference in proportions is the square root of the sum of the standard error for each sample squared, hence:

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_W^2 + s_M^2} = \sqrt{0.0395^2 + 0.0394^2} = 0.0558[/tex]

Hence, the standard error is of 0.0558.

Or you can cross multiply

9 : 12 = 15 : x

  y = x +1

Step-by-step explanation:

The line goes up 1 grid square for each 1 grid square to the right. Its slope is ...

  m = rise/run = 1/1 = 1

Now, we know m and b so we can write the slope-intercept equation for the line:

Natalie and her sister opened a savings account at the same time. Natalie deposited $100 and will deposit $10 each month. Her sister deposited $25 and will deposit $25 each month. When will Natalie have less money in her account that her sister?

Answers

Answer:

6 months

Step-by-step explanation:

We can think of Natalie as 100 + 10x and her sister as 25 + 25x. If we put them together, we will get 100 + 10x < 25 + 25x, We can simplify it by moving the 25 to the left side and 10x to the right side. Then we will get 75 < 15x, and the smallest solution is 6 because 5 * 15 is equal to 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Please take a look at the attached image. This is the parent function of the radical function.

[tex]y=\sqrt{x}[/tex]

This equation represents the transformations of the parent function:

[tex]y=a\sqrt{b(x-h)}+k[/tex]

a dictates vertical stretch.

b dictates horizontal stretch.

h dictates horizontal translation.

k dictates vertical translation.

If we take a look at the given graph, we can tell that the following transformations have been applied:

- reflection across x-axis (a = -1)

- translation 2 units to the left (h = -2)

- translation 1 unit down (k = -1)

Therefore, the function that represents the graph is:

Lines r and s are perpendicular and intersect at point k ray kt is drawn forming angles 1 and 2 if angle 1 is 4x-12 and angle 2 equals 3x -8 what is angle 1 to nearest 10th

Answers

The measure of angle 1 to the nearest tenth is 50.9 degrees

Since the line r and s are perpendicular, hence the sum of the angle m<RKT and m<SKT is 90 degrees.

Given the following parameters

m<RKT  = m<1 = 4x - 12

m<SKT = m<2 = 3x - 8

Taking the sum of the angle and equating it to 90degrees, hence;

m<RKT  +m<SKT = 90

4x - 12 + 3x - 8 = 90

7x = 90 + 20

7x = 110

x = 110/7

x = 15.71

Get the measure of angle 1

m<1 = 4x - 12

m<1 = 4(15.71) - 12

m<1 = 50.9 degrees

Hence the measure of angle 1 to the nearest tenth is 50.9 degrees
