37. (A) The system has a unique solution.
38. (A) The system has a unique solution.
39. The third step in (A) is incorrect:
40. Let x = the number of machines produced.
(A) C(x) = 243,000 + 22.45x
(B) Set C(x) = R(x):
59.95x = 243,000 + 22.45x
(C) A profit occurs if x > 6,480; a loss occurs if x < 6,480
(4-1)
41. Let x1 = Number of tons of Voisey‘s Bay ore
x2 = number of tons of Hawk Ridge ore
Then, we have the following system of equations
Multiply each equation by 100. This yields
The augmented matrix corresponding to this system is:
