Your donut shop has perfected a method for the perfect glazed icing by slowly mixing whole milk to confectioner?s sugar while exposed to low heat. Your mixing tank starts with 10 fluid ounces of milk and 10 ounces of sugar. You continue adding sugar at a rate of 10 ounces per minute and milk at 2 ounces per minute, as depicted by the two equations below: Where S represents the number of ounces of sugar, M represents the ounces of milk, and t represents the time in minutes. Assessment Instructions Show and explain all steps in your responses to the following parts of the assignment. All mathematical steps must be formatted using the equation editor. Part 1: Create a rational equation to represent the concentration (C) in ounces of sugar per ounce of milk.Part 2: Find the domain of the concentration equation.Part 3: Will we ever encounter a time where the rational equation is undefined? Explain your reasoning.Part 4: Calculate the concentration after five minutes.Part 5: How long does it take to reach a concentration of 4 ounces of sugar per ounce of milk?

Vasco da Gama Industries is deciding whether to make or outsource the new batteries that will power its new Hydro Bat-Boat. Guy Josobo is the CEO, and he runs all the production management for the project. He has determined the followingcosts: Respectively the amounts are $-20,000 (lose money) low, $40,000 medium, and $100,000 high demand to produceat Vasco da Gama. To outsource the project, he has determined the following costs: $10,000 low, $45,000 medium, and$70,000 high demand.Using this information, complete the following steps:1. Develop a decision tree or decision-tree chart to solve Guy Josobo?s dilemma.2. At each decision node, select the best decision alternative for both the manufacture and outsource choices.3. Determine the state of probabilities for all the demands: low demand is .30, medium demand is .45, and high demandis
