(a)
Number of each drink sold using Cramer’s rule.
(a)

Answer to Problem 55PPS
Vendor sold 650 small drinks, 325 medium drinks, and 410 large drinks.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Small drinks sold for $1.15 each.
Medium drink sold for $1.75 each.
Large drink sold for $2.25 each.
Total sales for 1385 drinks were $2,238.75.
Calculation:
Let
Number of medium drinks be x .
Then
Number of small drinks be 2x .
And
Number of large drinks bey .
Now,
Translate the word problem into equation.
For number of drinks:
That becomes
For price of drinks:
That becomes
Now,
To find the determinant for the given matrix, use Cramer’s rule.
For x :
For y :
Substitute the values:
For x :
For y :
Write the diagonal of each element:
For x :
For y :
Then Simplify:
For x :
For y :
Therefore,
Vendor sold 650 small drinks, 325 medium drinks and 410 large drinks.
(b)
Vendor’s sales for the second week.
(b)

Answer to Problem 55PPS
Vendor’s sale for the second week is $2,426.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
For the second week,
Small drink sold for $1.25 each instead of $1.15 each.
Vendor sold 140 fewer small drinks, 125 more medium drinks, 35 more large drinks.
Calculation:
We have
Small drink sold for $1.25 each instead of $1.15 each.
In second week,
Vendor sold 140 fewer small drinks.
That means
He sold 510 small drinks for $1.25 each.
Thus,
He sold small drinks for $637.50.
Vendor sold 125 more medium drinks.
That means
He sold 450 medium drinks for $1.75 each.
Thus,
He sold medium drinks for $787.50.
Vendor sold 35 more large drinks.
That means
He sold 445 large drinks for $2.25 each.
Thus,
He sold medium drinks for $1001.25.
To calculate the sale of second week, sum up the sale of all above three categories:
Therefore,
Vendor’s sale for the second week is $2,426.
(c)
Whether raising the price of the small drink was a good business move.
(c)

Answer to Problem 55PPS
Yes, raising the price of the small drink was a good business move as it brought a nice profit.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
From Part (a),
Total sales for 1385 drinks were $2,238.75.
From Part (b),
Total sales for 1405 drinks were $2,426.
By increasing the price of the small drinks,
The sale of small drinks went down.
Whereas,
The sale of medium or large drinks went up.
Since the difference between the price of drinks diminished,
Some of the customers preferred to pay a little extra to get a bigger quantity of drink.
Therefore,
The raise of price was a good business move as it brought a nice profit.

- 3. A scientist recorded the movement of a pendulum for 10 s. The scientist began recording when the pendulum was at its resting position. The pendulum then moved right (positive displacement) and left (negative displacement) several times. The pendulum took 4 s to swing to the right and the left and then return to its resting position. The pendulum's furthest distance to either side was 6 in. Graph the function that represents the pendulum's displacement as a function of time. Answer: f(t) (a) Write an equation to represent the displacement of the pendulum as a function of time.

The ride is 180 ft tall, and passengers board the ride at an initial height of 15 ft above the ground. The height above ground, h, of a passenger on the ride is a periodic function of time, t. The graph displays the height above ground of the last passenger to board over the course of the 15 min ride.
