Can you find a strategy for splitting any number so that you always get the largest product?

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  split the number into equal pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming "splitting any number" means identifying parts that have the number as their sum, the maximum product of the parts will be found where the parts all have equal values.

We have to assume that the number being split is positive and all of the parts are positive.

2 parts

If we divide number n into parts x and (n -x), their product is the quadratic function x(n -x). The graph of this function opens downward and has zeros at x=0 and x=n. The vertex (maximum product) is halfway between the zeros, at x = (0 + n)/2 = n/2.

3 parts

Similarly, we can look at how to divide a (positive) number into 3 parts that have the largest product. Let's assume that one part is x. Then the other two parts will have a maximum product when they are equal. Their values will be (n-x)/2, and their product will be ((n -x)/2)^2. Then the product of the three numbers is ...

  p = x(x^2 -2nx +n^2)/4 = (x^3 -2nx^2 +xn^2)/4

This will be maximized where its derivative is zero:

  p' = (1/4)(3x^2 -4nx +n^2) = 0

  (3x -n)(x -n) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor

  x = n/3  or  n

We know that x=n will give a minimum product (0), so the maximum product is obtained when x = n/3.

more parts

A similar development can prove by induction that the parts must all be equal.

Calculate the break even sales dollars if the fixed expenses are $7,000 and the contribution ratio is 40%.

Answers

Answer:

Break even sales = $17,500 (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Fixed expenses = $7,000

Contribution ratio = 40%

Find:

Break even sales dollars

Computation:

Break even sales = Fixed expenses / Contribution ratio

Break even sales = 7,000 / 40%

Break even sales = 7,000 / 0.40

Break even sales = 17,500

Break even sales = $17,500 (Approx.)

Jason can peel 15 potatoes in 25 minutes. Janette can peel 8 potatoes in 1/10 hour. If they start peeling at the same time how many
minutes will it take them to peel 406 potatoes?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  210 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Jason's rate of peeling is ...

  (15 potatoes)/(25 minutes) = 15/25 potatoes/minute = 3/5 potatoes/minute

Janette's rate of peeing potatoes is ...

  (8 potatoes)/(6 minutes) = 4/3 potatoes/minute

Their combined rate is ...

  (3/5 +4/3) = (9 +20)/15 = 29/15 . . . . potatotes/minute

Then the time required for 406 potatoes is ...

  (406 potatoes)/(29/15 potatoes/minute) = (406×15/29) minutes

14π equal to 360°

but we need just 135° so we should write it kind of radian(π)

if 14π=360°

x=135°

14π*135=360°*x 14π*27=72*x ........= 14π*3=8*x

The length of the arc is 21/π4 in

An answer is an option A. 21/π4 in

What is the arc of the circle?

The arc period of a circle can be calculated with the radius and relevant perspective using the arc period method.

⇒angle= arc/radius

 ⇒  135°=arc/7

⇒ arc =135°*7

In the figure, find the measure of TU⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

Answers

Answer:

TU = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two secant segments that are drawn from a circle to meet at an exterior point of the circle. Thus, according to the secant secant theorem, the product of the measure of one secant segment and its external secant segment equals that of the product of the other and its external secant segment.

Thus:

VU*TU = VW*BW

Substitute

7(x + 4) = 9(-2 + x)

7x + 28 = -18 + 9x

Collect like terms

7x - 9x = -18 - 28

-2x = -46

Divide both sides by -2

x = -46/-2

x = 23

✔️TU = x + 4

Plug in the value of x

TU = 23 + 4

TU = 27

An inverse function essentially gets you the original value that was dropped into a function.

For example,

If I put 5 into [tex]f(x)[/tex] I will get 24. Now If I take 24 and put it into the inverse function I have to get number 5 back.

The way to determine the inverse function swap the x and the [tex]f(x)[/tex], then solve for [tex]f(x)[/tex],

[tex]x=f(x)^2-1[/tex]

[tex]f(x)^2=x+1[/tex]

Bearings And Vectors • The bearing of X from Y is 045 and the bearing of Z from Yis 145, where X, Y and Z are three points in the plane. If Y is equidistant from X and Z, find the bearing of Z from X. ​

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  185°

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle internal angle at Y is 145° -45° = 100°. Since the triangle is isosceles, the internal angles at X and Z are both (180° -100°)/2 = 40°. Then the bearing of Z from X is the bearing of Y from X less the internal angle at X:

  (45° +180°) -40° = 185°.

Z from X is 185°.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

In an arithmetic sequence, any given term is the average of the two terms that come before and after. The middle term of this sequence must be ...

  2sin(3x) = (-11 +15)/2

  sin(3x) = 1 . . . . . . . . . . simplify and divide by 2

Then the value of 3x must be 90°, so ...

  x = 90/3 = 30

There is one value of x in the interval [0, 90] that makes this sequence arithmetic: x = 30.

Rabi Sahu fixed the marked price of his radio to make a profit of 30 %. Allowing 15 % discount on the marked price, the radio was sold. What percent profit did he make?​

Answers

The percent profit that Rabi made will be 10.5%

Let's assume that the price of the house is $100.

Since he fixed the marked price of the good to make a profit of 30%, then the price will be:

= $100 + (30% × $100)

= $100 + $30

= $130

Now, there is a discount of 15%, then the selling price of the good will be:

= $130 - (15% × $130)

= $130 - (0.15 × $130)

= $130 - $19.50

= $110.50

Then, the percentage of profit made will be:

= [($110.50 - $100) / $100] × 100%

= $10.50/$100 × 100%

= 10.5%

In conclusion, the percent profit that he makes is 10.5%.

Among various ethnic groups, the standard deviation of heights is known to be approximately three inches. We wish to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean height of male Swedes. Forty-eight mile Swedes are surveyed. The sample mean is 71 inches. The sample standard deviation is 2.8 inches.

Required:
a. Calculate the error bound.
b. What will happen to the level of confidence obtained if 1,000 male Swedes are surveyed instead of 48? Why?

Answers

Answer:

a) The error bound of the confidence interval is of 0.66.

b) The confidence interval will be narrower.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

We have to find the margin of error. Considering that we have the standard deviation for the sample, the t-distribution is used.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom,which is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 71 - 1 = 70

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 70 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 1.9944

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

For this problem, [tex]s = 2.8, n = 71[/tex]. So

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.9944\frac{2.8}{\sqrt{71}} = 0.66[/tex]

The error bound of the confidence interval is of 0.66.

b. What will happen to the level of confidence obtained if 1,000 male Swedes are surveyed instead of 48? Why?

The margin of error is inversely proportional to the square root of the sample size, so increasing the sample size leads to a smaller margin  of error and a narrower confidence interval.

Answers

Answer: x= 11

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the question, we first need to know how many miles he/she/it can drive in one hour (to make it simpler. Doing a bunch of calculations involving decimals and other stuff can be very confusing)

335 divided by 5 is 67

Therefore in one hour Ivan can drive 67 miles. We want to know the TIME it takes for Ivan to drive 737 miles and the formula for time is Distance / Speed.

The distance is 737 miles

The speed is 67 miles/hour

737 divided by 67 is 11

Therefore Ivan takes 11 hours to drive 737 hours

Discount price = 280.50 dollarsAmount lost =  49.50 dollars

================================================

Explanation:

If it's sold at a loss of 15%, then the store owner loses 0.15*330 = 49.50 dollars

So it was sold for 330- 49.50 =  280.50 dollars

----------------------------

An alternative method:

If the store owner loses 15%, then they keep the remaining 85% since 15%+85% = 100%.

85% of 330 = 280.50 dollars is the discount price

This means 330-280.50 = 49.50 dollars is the amount lost.
