I'm going to mark whoever gets it right as brainliest Fred's coffee shop sells two blends of beans at the following prices. a) House Blend ($3.50/lb) b) Exotic Blend ($4.00/lb). House blend is 1/2 Costa Rican beans and 1/2 Ethiopian beans. Exotic blend is 1/4 Costa Rican beans and 3/4 Ethiopian beans. Every day Fred receives 200 lbs of Costa Rican Beans and 330 lbs of Ethiopian beans. Which inequality is a constraint? * 1/2x+1/4y or = to 530 x < or = 200

(1/2)x + (1/4)y <= 200

Step-by-step explanation:

If

x = # of lbs of House blend he makes/sells a day

y = # of lbs of Exotic blend he makes/sells a day

then constraints are

(1/2)x + (1/4)y <= 200  (1)

x+y <= 530  (2)

The exact answer choices are not very clear from the question, but either (or both) (1) or (2) must be one of them.  If not, please edit question or add a comment to show the answer choices.

greater than one

step-by-step explanation:

1. when "a" is a root of a polynomial, (x -a) is a factor of it. for the three roots given, the factors of the desired polynomial are (x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3).

in order to make the leading coefficient be negative, we need to multiply this product by a negative number. any negative number will do, but we choose a small (magnitude) value that will eliminate the fraction: -2.

then

f(x) = -2(x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3) = -(x +2)(2x -1)(x -3)

= -(2x² +3x -2)(x -3)

= -(2x³ -3x² -11x +6)

f(x) = -2x³ +3x² +11x -6

2. a graph created by the desmos on-line graphing calculator is shown, and the zeros are highlighted.

3. as indicated in part 1, the multiplier of this equation can be anything and the zeros will remain the same. you want a negative leading coefficient, so the "anything" is restricted to any of the infinite number of numbers that will make that be the case.
