Answer:

  5x +2y = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose 'a' is the x-intercept of the line.

Then the slope is given by the slope formula ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (0 -5)/(a -2)

And the y-intercept is ...

  b = y -mx = 5 -(-5/(a-2))(2) = 5 +10/(a -2)

The area of the triangle is half the product of 'a' and 'b', so is ...

  A = 1/2ab

  A = 1/2(a)(5 +10/(a -2)) = 2.5a +5a/(a-2)

The area is minimized when the derivative of this is zero.

  A' = 2.5 -10/(a -2)^2 = 0

Solving for 'a' gives ...

  (a -2)^2 = 10/2.5 = 4

  a = 2 + 2 = 4 . . . . . . . . . . . x-intercept

  b = 5 +10/(4 -2) = 10 . . . . . y-intercept

  m = -5/(4 -2) = -5/2 . . . . . . slope

An equation of the line is ...

  y = -5/2x +10 . . . . . slope-intercept form

  5x +2y = 20 . . . . . standard form

__

You may have noticed that the x-and y-intercepts are double the x- and y-values of the given point. That is, the given point is the midpoint of the hypotenuse of the triangle with minimum area. That is the general solution of this sort of problem.

At the movie theatre, they give out a free drink to every 75th customer and a free bag of popcorn to every 30th customer. On Monday 3,000 customers came to the theatre. How many people received both free item

Answers

Answer:

20 people

Step-by-step explanation:

At the movie theater, they give out a free drink to every 75th customer and a free bag of popcorn to every 30th customer.

On Monday, 3,000 customers came to the theater.

To find the number of people who got both free items, we will calculate the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 30 and 75.

LCM of 30, 75

= 5 × 3 × 5 × 2

= 150

Each 150th customer will receive both free items.

Total number of people who receive both free items = 3000 ÷ 150

                                                                                      = 20 people

On Monday 20 people will receive both free items.

Answers

Answer:

First term: 2x+1

Second term: 3x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient of x is going up by 1 time each time while the constant term is going up by 2.

We are looking at these two questions basically:

1) What are the first two terms in?

_,_,4,5,6,7,8

2) What are the first two terms in?

_,_,5,7,9,11,13

Answers:

1) Since the sequence is going up by 1 reading left to right, then right to left it's going down by 1.

So before 4, we have 3.

Before 3, we have 2.

The sequence for the coefficient of x is 2,3,4,5,6,7,8

2) Since the sequence is going up by 2 from left to right, then it's going down by 2 reading right to left.

So before 5, we have 3.

Before 3, we have 1.

The sequence for the constant term is 1,3,5,7,9,11,13.

So first two terms of the sequence in ascending order according to the sequence is:

In ΔVWX, the measure of ∠X=90°, XW = 65, WV = 97, and VX = 72. What is the value of the cosine of ∠V to the nearest hundredth?

Answers

Answer:

The cosine of ∠V is of 0.74.

Step-by-step explanation:

Relations in a right triangle:

The cosine of an angle is given by the length of the adjacent side divided by the length of the hypotenuse.

XW = 65, WV = 97, and VX = 72.

[tex]\sqrt{65^2+72^2} = 97[/tex], and thus, this is a right triangle.

What is the value of the cosine of ∠V to the nearest hundredth?

The hypotenuse is the largest side, that is, WV = 97.

The adjacent side of angle V is VX = 72. So

[tex]\cos{B} = \frac{72}{97} = 0.74[/tex]

The cosine of ∠V is of 0.74.

A certain electronics manufacturer found that the average cost C to produce x DVD/Blu- ray players can be found using the equation C = 0.04 x 2 − 5 x + 900 . What is the minimum average cost per machine and how many DVD/Blu-ray players should be built in order to acheive that minimum?
The minimum average cost is ?
The number of DVD/Blu-ray players that should be build to acheive the minimum is?

Answers

Answer:

Minimum average cost = 743.75

Number of dvds to achieve the cost = 62.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the cost equation

C = 0.04x² − 5x + 900

To Obtian the minimum average cost ;

Find dc/dx = 0

Diffentiate cost, c it ith respect to x

dc/dx = 2(0.04x) - 5

dc/dx = 0.08x - 5 = 0

0.08x = 5

x = 5 / 0.08

x = 62.5

Substitute the value of x into C to obtain the minimum average cost

C = 0.04(62.5)² - 5(62.5) + 900

C = 743.75

Leticia invests $200 at 5% interest. If y represents the amount of money after x time periods, which describes the graph of the exponential function relating time and money?

The initial value of the graph is 200. The graph increases by a factor of 1.05 per 1 unit increase in time.
The initial value of the graph is 200. The graph increases by a factor of 5 per 1 unit increase in time.
The initial value of the graph is 500. The graph increases by a factor of 2 per 1 unit increase in time.
The initial value of the graph is 500. The graph increases by a factor of 1.02 per 1 unit increase in time.

Answers

Answer:

First you need to state the equation that represents the function.

Investment is $200 and interest rate is 5%, y is the amount of money after x periods.

Note that after 1 period the amount of money is 200 plus 5% interest, which is 200 + 5%(200) = 200 (1 +5%) = 200 (1 + 0.05) = 200 (1.05)

After 2 periods the amount is 200(1.05)*(1.05) = 200 (1.05)^2

After 3 periods the amount is 200 (1.05)^3

And now you can deduce that after x periods y = 200 (1.05)^x

You can then analyze the function to predict the shape and critical points of the graph.

The answers are based in the initial value and the increasing factor.

The initial value is when x = 0, which yields to y = 200 (1.05)^0 = 200*1 = 200

And the increasing factor is 1.05 because any value is the previos one times 1.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph shows 200. And the factor down

The mean salary offered to students who are graduating from Coastal State University this year is , with a standard deviation of . A random sample of Coastal State students graduating this year has been selected. What is the probability that the mean salary offer for these students is or less

Answers

Answer:

The probability that the mean salary offer is of X or less is the p-value of [tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex], in which [tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean salary for the population, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation for the population and n is the size of the sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Z-score with the Central Limit Theorem:

Z-is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

What is the probability that the mean salary offer for these students is X or less?

The probability that the mean salary offer is of X or less is the p-value of [tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex], in which [tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean salary for the population, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation for the population and n is the size of the sample.

Solve the following system of equations using matrices​ (row operations).

x-y=3
6x-5z=36
6y+2z=18

Answers

Answer:

(6,3,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

x -  y + 0z  =  3

6x -  0y - 2z = 36

0x + 6y + 2z = 18

You have the following augmented matrix:

(1) 1     -1     0      3

(2) 6    0   -2      36

(3) 0    6    2       18

Let's (3) add to (2) and divide by 6

(1)  1    -1    0       3

(2) 1     1    0       9

(3) 0    6   2       18

Now, let's (2) add  to (1) and divide by 2

(1)  1   0    0     6

(2) 1    1    0     9

(3) 0   6   2     18

Let's (3) ÷ 2

(1)  1    0   0     6

(2) 1    1   0      9

(3) 0   3   1      9  

Let's (1) subtract from (2)

(1)  1   0   0     6

(2) 0   1   0     3

(3) 0   3   1     9

Finally, let's (2) multiply by 3 and subtract from (3)

(1)  1   0   0     6

(2) 0   1   0     3

(3) 0   0   1     0

Thus,

x = 6, y = 3 and z = 0

The answer is (6, 3, 0)

We have to verify the answer

6 - 3 = 3  ⇒⇒ 3 = 3

6*6 - 5*0 = 36   ⇒⇒ 36 = 36

6*3 + 2*0 = 18    ⇒⇒ 18 = 18
