- RadioShack sells Samsung and Lenovo tablets. When five Samsung tablets and eight Lenovo tablets are sold, RadioShack makes a profit of more than $1,920.00. The total cost of purchasing a Samsung and a Lenovo tablet cannot exceed $375.00. The total revenue made from the sale of nine Lenovo tablets and two Samsung is no more than $2,610. At no point in time, RadioShack's stock on either tablet will fall below 5 units. a. Derive five (5) linear inequalities to represent the above information. b. Using the same Cartesian Plane to represent each of the above linear inequalities from part a. above, solve the system of linear inequalities. Ensure that all work is clearly stated. c.

If y1 and y2 are solutions of the differential equation y" + p(t) y′ + q(t) y = 0, where p and q are continuous on an open interval, then the Wronskian is given by W (¥1, v2)(t) = c exp(− [p(t) dt), where C is a constant that does not depend on t. Moreover, either W (y1, y2)(t) = 0 for every t in I or W (y1, y2)(t) = 0 for every t in I. 1. (a) From the two equations (which follow from the hypotheses), show that y" + p(t) y₁ + q(t) y₁ = 0 and y½ + p(t) y2 + q(t) y2 = 0, 2. (b) Observe that Hence, conclude that (YY2 - Y1 y2) + P(t) (y₁ Y2 - Y1 Y2) = 0. W'(y1, y2)(t) = yY2 - Y1 y2- W' + p(t) W = 0. 3. (c) Use the result from the previous step to complete the proof of the theorem.arrow_forwardeBook Print Item Question Content Area Support Department Cost Allocation—Reciprocal Services Method Blue Africa Inc. produces laptops and desktop computers. The company’s production activities mainly occur in what the company calls its Laser and Forming departments. The Cafeteria and Security departments support the company’s production activities and allocate costs based on the number of employees and square feet, respectively. The total cost of the Security Department is $261,000. The total cost of the Cafeteria Department is $300,000. The number of employees and the square footage in each department are as follows: Department Employees Square Feet Security 10 570 Cafeteria 28 2,400 Laser 40 4,800 Forming 50 800 Using the reciprocal services method of support department cost allocation, determine the total costs from the Security Department that should be allocated to…arrow_forward

Suppose the functions y₁ and y2 are solutions to the differential equation p(x)y" + q(x)y' + r(x) y = 0 on an open interval I. 1. (a) Prove that if y₁ and y2 both vanish at the same point in I, then y₁ and y2 cannot form a fundamental set of solutions. 2. (b) Prove that if y₁ and y2 both attain a maximum or minimum at the same point in I, then y₁ and Y2 cannot form a fundamental set of solutions. 3. (c) show that the functions & and t² are linearly independent on the interval (−1, 1). Verify that both are solutions to the differential equation t² y″ – 2ty' + 2y = 0. Then justify why this does not contradict Abel's theorem. 4.
