a.
To find:The most expensive size of snack mix.
a.
Answer to Problem 33STP
x-small is the most expensive size of snack mix.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The costs of different sized bags of snack mix are given in the table.
Snack Mix | |
Size | Price |
x-small | $1.96 for 12 oz |
small | $2.20 for 16 oz |
large | $4.00 for 36 oz |
x-large | $5.40 for 48 oz |
Cost of per ounce of x-small size of snack mix =$(
Cost of per ounce of small size of snack mix =$(
Cost of per ounce of large size of snack mix =$(
Cost of per ounce of x-large size of snack mix =$(
Clearly, the cost of x-small size of snack mix per ounce is maximum.
Thus, x-small is the most expensive size of snack mix.
Conclusion:
x-small is the most expensive size of snack mix.
b.
To find: The size that Pilar should buy such that it costs the least per ounce.
b.
Answer to Problem 33STP
Pilar should buy large size of snack mix.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The costs of different sized bags of snack mix are given in the table.
Snack Mix | |
Size | Price |
x-small | $1.96 for 12 oz |
small | $2.20 for 16 oz |
large | $4.00 for 36 oz |
x-large | $5.40 for 48 oz |
Calculation:
Cost of per ounce of x-small size of snack mix =$(
Cost of per ounce of small size of snack mix =$(
Cost of per ounce of large size of snack mix =$(
Cost of per ounce of x-large size of snack mix =$(
Clearly, the cost of large size of snack mix per ounce is minimum.
Thus, large is the least expensive size of snack mix.
Conclusion:
Pilar should buy large size of snack mix.

The region of interest lies between x = 0 and x = 5, and y 0 and y = 5. Your tasks are the following: = 1. Analyze how the elevation changes with respect to x and y. To find the elevation changes, calculate the partial derivatives of the elevation function z with respect to x and 2. Calculate the total volume of soil above the 0-level (z region of interest. = y. 0). To do so, integrate z(x, y) over the wholearrow_forward
- math 62arrow_forwardMake up two polynomial functions, f(x) and g(x). • f(x) should be of degree 3 or higher. g(x) should be of degree 4 or higher. • Find f(3) in each of the three ways: substitution, remainder theorem (synthetic division), and long division. You should get the same answer three times for f(3). Find g(-2) once using your choice of the three methods.arrow_forwardere are many real-world situations that exhibit exponential and logarithmic nctions. • Describe two real world scenarios, one exponential and one logarithmic.

- stacie is a resident at a medical facility you work at. You are asked to chart the amount of solid food that she consumes.For the noon meal today, she ate 1/2 of a 3 ounce serving of meatloaf, 3/4 of her 3 ounce serving of mashed potatoes, and 1/3 of her 2 ounce serving of green beans. Show in decimal form how many ounces of solid food that Stacie consumedarrow_forwardI've been struggling with this because of how close the numbers are together!! I would really appreciate if someone could help me❤️arrow_forwardMatrix MЄ R4×4, as specified below, is an orthogonal matrix - thus, it fulfills MTM = I. M (ELES),- m2,1. We know also that all the six unknowns mr,c are non-negative with the exception of Your first task is to find the values of all the six unknowns. Think first, which of the mr,c you should find first. Next, consider a vector v = (-6, 0, 0, 8) T. What's the length of v, i.e., |v|? Using M as transformation matrix, map v onto w by w = Mv provide w with its numeric values. What's the length of w, especially when comparing it to the length of v? Finally, consider another vector p = ( 0, 0, 8, 6) T. What's the angle between v (from above) and p? Using M as transformation matrix, map p onto q by q = Mp - provide q with its numeric values. What's the angle between w and q, especially when comparing it to the angle between v and p?arrow_forward
