Answers

Answer 1

The money which is expected to spend on new word processors during this year is

The probability distribution is

x:          0            1             2            3

f(x)         [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex]           [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex]           [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]              [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

If the cost of the desired model is $1200 per unit and at the end of the year a refund of 50x2 dollars

So total money spent in this year is [tex]1200x-50x^2[/tex]          

Then the equation of expenses will be

[tex]\text{Expenses}=E(1200x-50x^2)[/tex]

We can rewrite it as

[tex]\text{Expenses}=E(1200x)-E(50x^2)[/tex]  

  [tex]\text{Expenses}=1200E(x)-50E(x^2)[/tex]   -----------------(1)

Now the mean of the probability distribution is ,

[tex]E(x)=\sum_{ }^{ }((x_i)(f(x_i))\\=(0\times\frac{1}{10})+(1\times\frac{3}{10})+(2\times\frac{2}{5})+(3\times\frac{1}{5})\\=\frac{3}{10}+\frac{4}{5}+\frac{3}{5}\\\\=\frac{3+8+6}{10}\\\\=\frac{17}{10}\\\\=1.7[/tex]      

The variance of the function is

[tex]E(x)=\sum_{ }^{ }(x_i^2)(f(x_i)[/tex]

        [tex]=(0^2\times\frac{1}{10})+(1^2\times\frac{3}{10})+(2^2\times\frac{2}{5})+(3^2\times\frac{1}{5})[/tex]

        [tex]=\frac{3}{10}+\frac{8}{5}+\frac{9}{5}[/tex]

        [tex]=\frac{37}{10}[/tex]

        [tex]=3.7[/tex]

On substituting the values in equation (1)

[tex]\text{Expenses}=1200E(x)-50E(x^2)[/tex]

              [tex]=1200(1.7)-50(3.7)^2[/tex]

              [tex]=2040-684[/tex]

The admission fee at an amusement park is 1.5 dollars for children and 4 dollars for adults. On a certain day, 281 people entered the park, and the admission fees collected totaled 684 dollars. How many children how many adults were admitted?

Answers

Answer:

176 children and 105 adults.

Explanation:

Let's call x the number of children and y the number of adults.

If 281 people entered the park, we can write the following equation

x + y = 281

If they collected 684 dollars, we can write the following equation

1.5x + 4y = 684

because it cost $1.5 for children and $4 for adults.

Now, we have the following system of equations

x + y = 281

1.5x + 4y = 684

First, we need to solve the first equation for y, so

x + y = 281

x + y - x = 281 - x

y = 281 - x

Then, replace this expression on the second equation

1.5x + 4y = 684

1.5x + 4(281 - x) = 684

1.5x + 4(281) - 4(x) = 684

1.5x + 1124 - 4x = 684

-2.5x + 1124 = 684

Finally, we can solve the equation for x

-2.5x + 1124 - 1124 = 684 - 1124

-2.5x = -440

-2.5x/(-2.5) = -440/(-2.5)

x = 176

So, the value of y is equal to

y = 281 - x

y = 281 - 176

y = 105

Therefore, they admitted 176 children and 105 adults.

during a span of 2 hours , lalia played her video games for 50 minutes . what percentage of time was spent on the game

Answers

Total time = 2 hours

Time playing video games = 50 minutes

We have to write an equation:

Total time (2hours) multiplied by the percentage in decimal form (x) must be equal to 50 minutes

Time must be in the same unit ( minutes)

since 60 minutes =1 hour

2 hours = 2 (60) =120 minutes

Back with the equation:

120 x = 50

Solving for x

x = 50/120

x = 0.42

In percentage form:

0.42 x 100 = 42%

Answers

This company’s revenue function is given by −0.25x³ - 4x² + 1000x + 16,000.

How to determine company's revenue function?

Mathematically, the amount of revenue that's being generated by a company or business organization can be calculated by using the following function (expression):

Revenue = price × demand

R(x) = p(x) × d(x)

The demand (d) for this company’s product at cost (x) is given by this demand function:

d(x) = −0.25x² + 1,000

Also, the price (p) in dollars that this company can charge for its product is given by this price function:

p(x) = x + 16

Substituting the parameters into the revenue function, we have;

Revenue function, R(x) = p(x) × d(x)

Revenue function, R(x) = (−0.25x² + 1,000) × (x + 16)

Revenue function, R(x) = −0.25x³ - 4x² + 1000x + 16,000.

Answer is x= 15 y= 7

The two “x” variable angles are supplementary so combined they will equal 180 degrees

2(5x -5) + (3x -5) = 180

Distribute

10x -10 + 3x -5 = 180

Combine

13x -15 = 180

Add 15 to both sides to isolate variable

13x -15 + 15 = 180 + 15
Combine

13x = 195

Divide both sides by 13 to solve for x

13/13 x = 195/13

x = 15

The two “y” variable angles are supplementary so combined they will equal 180 degrees

5y + 5 + 20y = 180

Combine

25y + 5 = 180

Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate y

25y +5 -5 = 180 -5

25y = 175

Divide both sides by 25 to solve for y

25/25 y = 175/25

what is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 15x + 12y = -108

Answers

First, rewrite the equation in its slope intercept form:

(slope intercept form: y = mx + b where m = slope ; b = y-axis intercept)

15x + 12y = -108​

Subtract 15x from both sides:

15x + 12y - 15x = -108​ - 15x

12y = -108 - 15x

Divide both sides by 12:

12y/12 = (-108 - 15x)/12

y = -5x/4 - 9

As you can see the slope of this line is -5/4

Now, two lines are perpendicular if:

m1*m2 = -1

Where:

m1 = Slope of the line 1

m2 = Slope of the line 2

m1 in this case would be -5/4

so:

-5/4* m2 = -1

Solving for m2:

m2 = -1/(-5/4) = 4/5 = 0.8

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they are opposite exterior angles, they are congruent, so you set them equal to each other

5x = 4x + 12

- 4x  - 4x

x = 12

For A and B to be parallel then the angle (4x+12)⁰ and the angle opposite to angle (5x)⁰ should be equal since the two are congruent to each other.

therefore

5x = opposite angle=(4x+12)

=> 5x=(4x+12)

The total cost for 6 movie tickets and 5 snacks is $97

Given,

Miguel is going to see a movie with his 5 kids.

Number of people = 6

Cost for one ticket = $12

Cost of one snack = $5

Number of snacks = 5

For tickets and 5 snacks:

For tickets and x snacks:

Now,

Total cost for tickets = 6 × 12 = $72

Cost for 5 snacks = 5 × 5 = $25

Therefore,

Total cost = 72 + 25 = $97

Next,

Cost for x snacks = 5x

Which line is perpendicular to a line that has a slope

Oline MN

Answers

JK is perpendicular to a line that has a slope

What is Slope?

The ratio of how much y grows as x grows by a certain amount is known as a line's slope. The slope of a line indicates how steep it is, or how much y rises as x rises. Anywhere along the line, the slope remains constant (the same).

Two lines, L1 and L2, with slopes m1 and m2 are perpendicular if

m1 x m2 = -1.

In our case m1 = 1

1 x m2 = -1

m2 = -2

so the slope of the perpendicular line is -2.

( -2 x (1) = -1).

As x increases, the line with a slope of -2 increases. Line JK is the only line displayed that fits this. Line AB cannot be the solution because it is "falling" as x grows.

Answers

It will take 15 days for Akash to complete the entire work if he is assisted by Sunil and Rakesh every third day.

To determine the number of days, we first represent the number of days to do a piece of work by each one of them in fractions as follows;

Fraction of work completed by Akash in 1 day = 1/20

Fraction of work completed by Sunil in 1 day = 1/30

Fraction of work completed by Rakesh in 1 day = 1/60

The total work done in 1 day can be given as;

Total work done by the three in one day = [(1/20) + (1/30) + (1/60)] = 1/10

Work done by Akash in two days = 2 × (1/20) = 2/20 = 1/10

The work done in three days (1 day of all three together + Work done by Akash in two days) = (1/10) + (1/10) = 1/5

Therefore; the total work done in 3 days = 1/5

At this rate, the total number of cycles required to finish the work =

(1) ÷ (1/5) = 5

Since each cycle has three days, the total number of days required to finish the work can be calculated as follows;
