The rate of change in sales S is inversely proportional to time t (t > 1), measured in weeks. Find S as a function of t when the sales after 2 and 4 weeks are 162 units and 287 units, respectively.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

S = 250/t

Step-by-step explanation:

If the rate of change of sales is inversely proportional to the time t, this is expressed mathematically as ΔS ∝ 1/Δt

ΔS = k/Δt where k is the constant of proportionality

If ΔS = S₂-S₁ and Δt = t₂-t₁

S₂-S₁ = k/ t₂-t₁

If the sales after 2 and 4 weeks are 162 units and 287 units respectively, then when S₁  = 162, t₁ = 2 and when   S₂ = 287, t₂ = 4.

On substituting this values into the given functions, we will have;

287 - 162 = k/4-2

125 = k/2

cross multiplying

k = 125* 2

k = 250

Substituting k = 250 into the function ΔS = k/Δt

ΔS = 250/Δt

S = 250/t

Hence the value of S as function of t when the sales after 2 and 4 weeks are 162 units and 287 units, respectively is expressed as S = 250/t

Answers

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, 3sin2x−7sinx+2=03sin2⁡x-7sin⁡x+2=0

⇒(3sinx−1)(sinx−2)=0⇒3sin⁡x-1sin⁡x-2=0

⇒sinx=13 or 2⇒sin⁡x=13 or 2

⇒sinx=13    [∵sinx≠2]⇒sin⁡x=13    [∵sin⁡x≠2]

Let  sinα=13,0<α<π2,sinα=13,0<α<π2, then sinx=sinαsinx=sinα

now x=nπ+(−1)nα(n∈I)x=nπ+(−1)nα(n∈I)

⇒x=α,π−α,2π+α,3π−α,4π+α,5π−α⇒x=α,π−α,2π+α,3π−α,4π+α,5π−α Are the solution in [0,5π][0,5π]

Assume that adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed with a mean of and a standard deviation . Find the probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ between 81 and 119 .

Answers

Complete Question

Assume that adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed with a mean μ=100 and a standard deviation σ=15. Find the probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ between 81 and 119.

Answer:

The probability is  [tex]P( x_1 < X < x_2) = 0.79474[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The standard deviation is  σ = 15.

    The mean μ= 100

     The range we are considering is [tex]x_1 = 81 , \ x_2 = 119[/tex]

Now given that IQ scores are normally distributed

    Then the probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ between 81 and 119 is mathematically represented as

               [tex]P( x_1 < X < x_2) = P(\frac{x_1 - \mu }{\sigma } <\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } < \frac{x_2- \mu }{\sigma } )[/tex]

 Generally

                [tex]\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } = Z(The \ standardized \ value \ of \ X )[/tex]

So

              [tex]P( x_1 < X < x_2) = P(\frac{x_1 - \mu }{\sigma } <Z < \frac{x_2- \mu }{\sigma } )[/tex]

substituting values

               [tex]P( x_1 < X < x_2) = P(\frac{81 - 100 }{15 } <Z < \frac{119- 100 }{15 } )[/tex]

               [tex]P( x_1 < X < x_2) = P( -1.2667 <Z <1.2667 )[/tex]

               [tex]P( x_1 < X < x_2) = P(Z <1.2667 )-P( Z < -1.2667 )[/tex]

From the standardized Z table

               [tex]P(Z <-1.2667 ) = 0.10263[/tex]

And        [tex]P(Z <1.2667 ) = 0.89737[/tex]

So

            [tex]P( x_1 < X < x_2) = 0.89737 - 0.10263[/tex]

            [tex]P( x_1 < X < x_2) = 0.79474[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first generate the frequency table from the information given:

Hurricane number(X)       Frequency(f)                f(X)

6                                            9                                   54

8                                            13                                  104

12                                           16                                  192

14                                            12                                168

Total                                     ∑(f) = 50                          ∑f(x) =518

In order to determine the last frequency (the remaining years), we will add the other frequencies and subtract the answer from 50, which is the total frequency (50 years). This is done as follows:

Let the last frequency be f

9 + 3 + 16 + f = 50

38 + f = 50

f = 50 - 38 = 12

Now, calculating mean:

[tex]\bar {X} = \frac{\sum f(x)}{\sum(f)} \\\\\bar {X} = \frac{518}{50} \\\\\bar {X} = 10.36[/tex]

Therefore mean number of hurricanes = 10.4 (to one decimal place)

Answers

Answer:

a) 5[tex]cm^{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Bodies have three dimensions (width, height and depth). Measuring volume is calculating the number of cubic units that can fit inside.

When raising to 3, these dimensions are included and therefore  5[tex]cm^{3}[/tex] is a measure of volume.

Answer:

5cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume for a form will always be in cubic units.

Area of a shape will always be in squared units.

Length will not be in cubic or squared units.

Hence, the first option is a measure for volume.

The second option is equal to 5cm^2 which represents a measure for area, as does the fourth option.

The third option represents a measurement of length, for example the length of a line segment or the height of a figure.

a highschool basketball game won 36 percent of the games that it played last season the team won exactly 9 games last season what is the total number of games that the team played

Answers

Answer:

Total games played = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage games won by the basketball team = 36%

Exact number of games won by the team = 9

Let the total games played by the team = x

Therefore, total number of games won = 36% of x

                                                                 = [tex]\frac{36}{100}\times x[/tex]

Equation which represents the games won by the team will be,

[tex]\frac{36}{100}\times x=9[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{9}{0.36}[/tex]

x = 25

Therefore, total games played by the basketball team are 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are congruent. Since a and 55° are vertical angles, we know that a = 55°. Since b and 65° are vertical angles, we know that b = 65°. Alternate interior angles are congruent. Since b and c are alternate interior angles and b = 65°, we know that c = 65° as well. Since 60° and d are alternate interior angles, we know that d = 60°. Supplementary angles add up to 180°. Since d and e are supplementary and d = 60°, we know that e = 180 - 60 = 120°. Since vertical angles are congruent, we see that d and f are vertical angles and we know d = 60°, we also know that f = 60°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Characteristics of the functions given,

Function (1),

Form the given graph,

Slope = [tex]\frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}[/tex]

          = [tex]-\frac{4}{1}[/tex]

          = -4

Y- intercept of the given function = 2

Function (2),

From he given table,

Slope = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

         = [tex]\frac{5-3}{0+1}[/tex]

         = 2

y-intercept = 5 [Value of y for x = 0]

Function (3),

y = -x - 1

By comparing this equation with y = mx + b

Where 'm' = slope

and b = y-intercept

Slope = (-1)

y-intercept = (-1)

Function (4),

Slope = 5

y-intercept = (-4)

(a). Greatest slope of the function → Function (4)

(b). y-intercept greater than 3 → Function (2)

Given the following three points, find by the hand the quadratic function they represent (0,6, (2,16, (3,33)

Answers

Answer:

[tex] f(x) = 4x^2 - 3x + 6 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic function is given as [tex] f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c [/tex]

Let's find a, b and c:

Substituting (0, 6):

[tex] 6 = a(0)^2 + b(0) + c [/tex]

[tex] 6 = 0 + 0 + c [/tex]

[tex] c = 6 [/tex]

Now that we know the value of c, let's derive 2 system of equations we would use to solve for a and b simultaneously as follows.

Substituting (2, 16), and c = 6

[tex] f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c [/tex]

[tex] 16 = a(2)^2 + b(2) + 6 [/tex]

[tex] 16 = 4a + 2b + 6 [/tex]

[tex] 16 - 6 = 4a + 2b + 6 - 6 [/tex]

[tex] 10 = 4a + 2b [/tex]

[tex] 10 = 2(2a + b) [/tex]

[tex] \frac{10}{2} = \frac{2(2a + b)}{2} [/tex]

[tex] 5 = 2a + b [/tex]

[tex] 2a + b = 5 [/tex] => (Equation 1)

Substituting (3, 33), and c = 6

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

[tex] 33 = a(3)^2 + b(3) + 6 [/tex]

[tex] 33 = 9a + 3b + 6 [/tex]

[tex] 33 - 6 = 9a + 3b + 6 - 6 [/tex]

[tex] 27 = 9a + 3b [/tex]

[tex] 27 = 3(3a + b) [/tex]

[tex] \frac{27}{3} = \frac{3(3a + b)}{3} [/tex]

[tex] 9 = 3a + b [/tex]

[tex] 3a + b = 9 [/tex] => (Equation 2)

Subtract equation 1 from equation 2 to solve simultaneously for a and b.

[tex] 3a + b = 9 [/tex]

[tex] 2a + b = 5 [/tex]

[tex] a = 4 [/tex]

Replace a with 4 in equation 2.

[tex] 2a + b = 5 [/tex]

[tex] 2(4) + b = 5 [/tex]

[tex] 8 + b = 5 [/tex]

[tex] 8 + b - 8 = 5 - 8 [/tex]

[tex] b = -3 [/tex]

The quadratic function that represents the given 3 points would be as follows:

[tex] f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c [/tex]

[tex] f(x) = (4)x^2 + (-3)x + 6 [/tex]

[tex] f(x) = 4x^2 - 3x + 6 [/tex]

Using the insurance company's assumptions, calculate the probability that there are fewer than 3 tornadoes in a 14-year period. Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:  19.2222

Step-by-step explanation:

given data;

no of tornadoes = 2,1,0 because it’s fewer than 3.

period = 14 years

probability of a tornado in a calendar year = 0.12

solution:

probability of exactly 2 tornadoes

= ( 0.12 )^2 * ( 0.88 )^11 * ( 14! / 2! * 11! )

= 0.0144 * 0.2451 * 1092

= 3.8541

probability of exac one tornado

= ( 0.12 )^1 * ( 0.88 )^12 * ( 14! / 1! * 12! )

= 0.12 * 0.2157 * 182

= 12.7109

probability of exactly 0 tornado

= ( 0.12 )^0 * ( 0.88 )^13 * ( 14! / 0! * 13! )

= 1 * 0.1898 * 14

= 2.6572

probability if fewer than 3 tornadoes

= 3.8541 + 12.7109 +2.6572

= 19.2222

B. x = 0,−5, 1.7i

C. x = −5, 1.7i, −1.7i

D. x = 0,−3, −5

Answers

Answer:

x = -5 or x = i sqrt(3) or x = -i sqrt(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^3 + 5 x^2 + 3 x + 15 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:

(x + 5) (x^2 + 3) = 0

Split into two equations:

x + 5 = 0 or x^2 + 3 = 0

Subtract 5 from both sides:

x = -5 or x^2 + 3 = 0

x = (0 ± sqrt(0^2 - 4×3))/2 = ( ± sqrt(-12))/2:

x = -5 or x = sqrt(-12)/2 or x = (-sqrt(-12))/2

sqrt(-12) = sqrt(-1) sqrt(12) = i sqrt(12):

x = -5 or x = (i sqrt(12))/2 or x = (-i sqrt(12))/2

sqrt(12) = sqrt(4×3) = sqrt(2^2×3) = 2sqrt(3):

x = -5 or x = (i×2 sqrt(3))/2 or x = (-i×2 sqrt(3))/2

(2 i sqrt(3))/2 = i sqrt(3):

x = -5 or x = i sqrt(3) or x = (-2 i sqrt(3))/2

(2 (-i sqrt(3)))/2 = -i sqrt(3):

Answer:

C. x = −5, 1.7i, −1.7i

Step-by-step explanation:

Quick answer:

C. x = −5, 1.7i, −1.7i

explanation:

C. is the only answer option that does NOT have 0 as a root, which is impossible, because there is a constant term, which means that all roots are non-zero. In other words, we cannot extract x as a factor.

Complete answer:

All odd degree polynomials have at least one real root.

By the real roots theorem, we know that

if there is a real root, it must be of the form [tex]\pm[/tex]p/q where q is any of the factors of the leading coefficient (1 in this case) and p is any factor of the constant term d (15 in this case).

Values of [tex]\pm[/tex]p/q are

On trial and error, using the factor theorem, we see that

f(-5) = 0, therefore -5 is a real root.  By long division, we have a quotient of x^2+3 = 0, which gives readily the remaining (complex) roots of +/- sqrt(5) i

Answer:

y = 8x + 70

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the third line.

x = 3, y = 94

Subtract 1 from x and 8 from y:

x = 2, y = 86; this is the second line

Subtract 1 from x and 8 from y:

x = 1, y = 78; this is the first line

Subtract 1 from x and 8 from y:

x = 0; y = 70

For selling 0 games, she earns $70.

y = mx + b

y = mx + 70

For each game she sells, her commission is $8.

y = 8x + 70

The multiplicative inverse of – 1 in the set {-1,1}is

Answers

Answer: The multiplicative inverse of – 1 in the set {-1,1} is -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

In algebra, the multiplicative inverse of a number(x) is a number (say y) such that

[tex]x\times y=1[/tex]  [product of a number and its inverse =1]

if x= -1, then

[tex]-1\times y=1\Rightarrow\ y=-1[/tex]

That means , the multiplicative inverse of -1 is -1 itself.

Hence, the multiplicative inverse of – 1 in the set {-1,1} is -1.

At the pizza party you and two friends decide to go to Mexico City from El Paso, TX where y'all live. You volunteer your car if everyone chips in for gas. Someone asks how much the gas will cost per person on a round trip. Your first step is to call your smarter brother to see if he'll figure it out for you. Naturally he's too busy to bother, but he does tell you that it is 2015 km to Mexico City, there's 11 cents to the peso, and gas costs 5.8 pesos per liter in Mexico. You know your car gets 21 miles to the gallon, but we still don't have a clue as to how much the trip is going to cost (in dollars) each person in gas ($/person).
