You need a total of 60 pounds of two commodities costing $1.35 and $2.85 per pound. A) Verify that the total cost is y = 1.35x + 2.85(60 - x), where x is the number of pounds of the less expensive commodity.
Let x be the number of pounds of the commodity costing $1.35 per pound. Because there arepounds total, the amount of the second commodity is. The total cost, in dollars, is y = 1.35x + 2.85(60 - x).
B) Find the inverse function of the cost function.
What does each variable represent in the inverse function?
1) X represents the commodity costing $1.35 per pound and Y represents the commodity costing $2.85 per pound.
2) X represents pounds and Y represents cost.
3) X represents the commodity costing $2.85 per pound and Y represents the commodity costing $1.35 per pound.
4) X represents cost and Y represents pounds.
5) X represents the commodity costing $1.35 per pound and Y represents cost.
C) What is the domain of the inverse function?
Validate or explain your answer using the context of the problem.
1. The domain of the inverse function is equal to the range of the original function.
2. The domain of the inverse function is equal to the domain of the original function.
3. The domain of an inverse function is always R.
D) Determine the number of pounds of the less expensive commodity purchased when the total cost is $78.
