Quest Manufacturing is building a product that costs $200 to start to build and $6.40 per unit sold. The company plans to sell each unit for $10.50. The company wrote an inequality to determine the minimum number of units (u) that it needs to sell to break even or make a profit on the product. 10.50u ≥ 200 6.40u What is the minimum amount of units that the company needs to sell to break even or make a profit on the product?

Answers

Answer:

49 units

Step-by-step explanation:

10.50u ≥ 200 + 6.40u       solve for u....

4.10u ≥ 200        (subtract 6.40u to both sides)

       u ≥ 200/4.10  (divide both sides by 4.10)

         u ≥ 48.78

         Any number of units greater than 48.78, but they can't sell parts of a unit, so 49 is the minimum number of units that need to be sold to make a profit

Joey is 17 years older than his sister Pat. In 6 years, Joey will be 7 more than twice Pat’s age then. How old are Joey and Pat today?

Answers

Answer:

p = 4

j = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Joey = j

Pat = p

j = p + 17

(j+6) = 2*(p + 6) + 7      Simplify this. Remove the brackets.

j + 6 = 2p + 12 + 7        combine like terms    

j + 6 = 2p + 19               Subtract 6 from both sides

j +6-6 = 2p +19-6

j = 2p + 13

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

Equation j = 2p + 13 and j = p + 17

2p + 13 = p + 17                 Subtract p from both sides

2p-p+13 =p-p + 17

p + 13 = 17                         Subtract 13 from both sides

p = 17-13

p = 4

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

j = p + 17

j = 4 + 17

j = 21

Answer:

Joey is 21; Pat is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement supports two equations in Joey's age (j) and Pat's age (p):

j - p = 17

(j +6) -2(p +6) = 7

Subtracting the second equation from the first, we have ...

(j -p) -((j +6) -2(p +6)) = (17) -(7)

p +6 = 10 . . . . . simplify

p = 4 . . . . . . . . . subtract 6

J = 17 +4 = 21

Joey is 21; Pat is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We figure out the scale factor first, which is the number of times one radius is of the other.  We call the scale factor, k.

To get how many times larger is the volume of similar spheres, we will need to cube the scale factor.

Since it is given that radius of Sphere A is 3 times that of Sphere B, we can say that the scale factor (k) = 3. Hence, the volume of Sphere A would be k^3 times the volume of Sphere B.

Initially a tank contains 10,000 liters of liquid at the time t = 0 minutes a tap is opened, a liquid then follows out of the tank. The volume of the liquid V liters, which remains in the tank after t minutes is given by V = 10,000(0.933)^t

a) Find the value of V after 5 minutes.
b) Find how long, to the nearest second, it takes for half of the initial amount of liquid to follow out of the tank.
c) The tank is regarded as effectively empty when 95% of the liquid has flowed out. Show that it takes almost three quarters of an hour for this to happen.
d) (i) Find the value of 10,000 - V when t = 0.001 minutes
(ii) Hence or otherwise, estimate the initial flow rate of the liquid. Give your answer in liters per minute, correct to two significant figures.

Answers

Answer:

a) 7069.82 Liters

b) 600 seconds

c) Shown below

d) (i) 0.6935 liters   (ii)  Since 0.6935 liters in 0.001 minute, so 693.5 liters per minute is as estimate (in liters per minute)

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

We simply put 5 into t of the equation and get the value of V. So:

[tex]V=10,000(0.933)^t\\V=10,000(0.933)^5\\V=7069.82[/tex]

So after 5 minutes the amount remaining is 7069.82 Liters

b)

half of the initial amount is half of 10,000 which is 5000. So we substitute 5000 into V and solve for t using logarithms.

Note: [tex]ln(a^b)=blna[/tex]

Thus, we have:

[tex]V=10,000(0.933)^t\\5000=10,000(0.933)^t\\0.5=(0.933)^t\\ln(0.5)=ln((0.933)^t)\\ln(0.5)=tln(0.933)\\t=\frac{ln(0.5)}{ln(0.933)}\\t=9.99[/tex]

Thus, t = 9.9949 minutes.

To get answer in seconds, we multiply by 60. Thus 9.9949*60= 600 seconds

c)

95% empty means 5% remaining. 5% of 10,000 = 0.05 * 10,000 = 500. We plug in 500 into V and solve for t as the previous step. Shown below:

[tex]V=10,000(0.933)^t\\500=10,000(0.933)^t\\0.05=0.933^t\\ln(0.05)=ln(0.933^t)\\ln(0.05)=tln(0.933)\\t=\frac{ln(0.05)}{ln(0.933)}\\t=43.1972[/tex]

So it takes around 43.1972 minutes to empty 95%. Since three-quarters of an hour is  [tex](\frac{3}{4})(60)=45[/tex] minutes, we have shown that the time it takes (43.1972 minutes) is very close to three-quarters of an hour.

d)

We plug in 0.001 into t and find V. Then we subtract that value from 10,000. This is just finding how much water has been removed in 0.001 minutes. Let's do this:

[tex]V=10,000(0.933)^t\\V=10,000(0.933)^{0.001}\\V=9999.3065\\Now\\10,000 - 9999.3065 = 0.6935[/tex]

So, 0.6935 liters

Example 5 suppose that f(0) = −8 and f '(x) ≤ 9 for all values of x. how large can f(3) possibly be? solution we are given that f is differentiable (and therefore continuous) everywhere. in particular, we can apply the mean value theorem on the interval [0, 3] . there exists a number c such that f(3) − f(0) = f '(c) − 0 so f(3) = f(0) + f '(c) = −8 + f '(c). we are given that f '(x) ≤ 9 for all x, so in particular we know that f '(c) ≤ . multiplying both sides of this inequality by 3, we have 3f '(c) ≤ , so f(3) = −8 + f '(c) ≤ −8 + = . the largest possible value for f(3) is .

Answers

[tex]f'(x)[/tex] exists and is bounded for all [tex]x[/tex]. We're told that [tex]f(0)=-8[/tex]. Consider the interval [0, 3]. The mean value theorem says that there is some [tex]c\in(0,3)[/tex] such that

[tex]f'(c)=\dfrac{f(3)-f(0)}{3-0}[/tex]

Since [tex]f'(x)\le9[/tex], we have

[tex]\dfrac{f(3)+8}3\le9\implies f(3)\le19[/tex]

so 19 is the largest possible value.

Final answer:

Given a differentiable function with f(0) = -8 and f'(x) ≤ 9 for all x, we use the Mean Value Theorem to find that f(3), at its largest, can be 1.

Explanation:

In this mathematics problem, we are given that f is a differentiable function with f(0) = -8 and its derivative f'(x) ≤ 9 for all x. We aim to calculate the possible maximum value of f(3). To do this, we apply the Mean Value Theorem for the interval [0, 3]. By this theorem, there exists a number 'c' in this interval such that the derivative at that point is equal to the slope of the secant line through the points (0, f(0)) and (3, f(3)). Thus, we get the equation: f(3) - f(0) = f'(c). Rearranging this, we get f(3) = f(0) + f'(c). Substituting the given values, f(3) = -8 + f'(c).

Since we know f'(x) ≤ 9 for all x, this means f'(c) ≤ 9 as well. Replacing this in the equation we get f(3) ≤ -8 + 9 = 1. Hence, the largest possible value for f(3) is 1.

A cab charges $1.75 for the flat fee and $0.25 for each mile. Write and solve an inequality to determine how many miles Eddie can travel if he has $15 to spend.

Answers

Answer:

I think it's 53 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

After flat fee of $1.75 leaves him $13.25. Then use the remainder to calculate miles. Each dollar allows 4 miles × 13 = 52+1=53

Answer:

The inequality is:

             [tex]1.75+0.25x\leq 15[/tex]

The solution of the inequality is:

                    [tex]x\leq 53[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Eddie could travel x miles.

It is given that:

A cab charges $1.75 for the flat fee and $0.25 for each mile.

This means that the fee charged by Eddie if he travels x miles excluding the flat fee is:

                   $  0.25x

Total amount the cab will charge Eddie is:

              1.75+0.25x

Also, it is given that:

He has only $ 15 to spend this means that he can spend no more than 15 on riding in a cab.

Hence, the inequality is given by:

            [tex]1.75+0.25x\leq 15[/tex]

Now on solving the inequality i.e. finding the possible values of x from the inequality.

We subtract both side of the inequality by 1.75 to obtain:

[tex]0.25x\leq 13.25[/tex]

Now on dividing both side of the inequality by 0.25 we get:

[tex]x\leq 53[/tex]

Hence, Eddie could travel less than or equal to 53 miles .

The width can be represented by x

2 times the length + 2 times the width would equal the perimeter

2(x) + 2(4x - 7) = 136

If Seven cookies are shared equally by four people how many cookies will each person get

Answers

Final answer:

Each person will get 1 cookie and there will be 3 cookies leftover.

Explanation:

In this scenario, we have 7 cookies that are being shared equally among 4 people. To find out how many cookies each person will get, we divide the total number of cookies by the number of people.

So, 7 cookies divided by 4 people = 1.75 cookies per person.

Since we can't divide a cookie into fractions, each person will get 1 cookie and there will be 3 cookies leftover.

Answers

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 events that are taking place.

Rolling a die which has 6 possible outcomes.

Flipping a coin which has 2 possible outcomes.

Spinning a spinner which has 4 possible outcomes.

Since the outcome of each event is independent of the other, the total possible outcomes will be equal to the product of outcomes of each event.

i.e.

Total outcomes = 6 x 2 x 4 = 48

The sample space of the experiment contains all the possible outcomes. so the number of elements in the sample space of this experiment will be 48

Answer:

The correct answer option is 48.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this experiment, three events are taking place that include rolling a die, flipping a coin and spinning a spinner.

The possible outcomes of each of these events are:

Rolling a die - 6

Flipping a coin - 2

Spinning a spinner - 4

Therefore, we can find the number of elements in the sample space of this environment by multiplying their possible outcomes.

Number of elements = 6 × 2 × 4 = 48

The general form of the explicit formula is a_n = a1 + d(n - 1)  so this sequence has  the formula:

a_n = 2 + 6(n - 1)

a_n = 2 + 6n - 6

a_n = 6n - 4.

The sequence is an illustration of an arithmetic sequence.

The explicit formula is: (d) [tex]a_n = 6n - 4[/tex]

We have:

[tex]a_1 = 2[/tex] -- the first term

Next, we calculate the common difference (d)

[tex]d = a_2 - a_1[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]d = 8 -2[/tex]

[tex]d = 6[/tex]

The explicit formula is calculated using:

[tex]a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]a_n =2 + (n - 1) \times 6[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]a_n = 2 + 6n - 6[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]a_n = 6n - 6 + 2[/tex]

[tex]a_n = 6n - 4[/tex]

Hence, the explicit formula is: (d) [tex]a_n = 6n - 4[/tex]

There are two brands of Corn Flakes, Post and Kellogs. Each brand has the same size box. However, because of each brand’s filling procedure, they have different mean weights. The weights of a box of Post Corn Flakes is approximately normal with μ = 64.1 oz and σ = .5 oz while the weight of a box of Kellogs, which is also normally distributed, has μ = 63.9 oz and σ = .4 oz.


A box is selected from each brand and weighed. What is the probability that the Post box will outweigh the Kellogs box?

Answers

Probability of an event is the measure of its chance of occurrence.  The probability that the post box will outweigh the Kellogs box is 0.4129 approximately.

How to get the z scores?

If we've got a normal distribution, then we can convert it to standard normal distribution and its values will give us the z-score.

If we have

[tex]X \sim N(\mu, \sigma)[/tex]

(X is following normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex])

then it can be converted to standard normal distribution as

[tex]Z = \dfrac{X - \mu}{\sigma}, \\\\Z \sim N(0,1)[/tex]

(Know the fact that in continuous distribution, probability of a single point is 0, so we can write

[tex]P(Z \leq z) = P(Z < z) )[/tex]

Also, know that if we look for Z = z in z-tables, the p-value we get is

[tex]P(Z \leq z) = \rm p \: value[/tex]

What is the distribution of random variable which is sum of normal distributions?

Suppose that a random variable X is formed by [tex]n[/tex] mutually independent and normally distributed random variables such that:

[tex]X_i = N(\mu_i , \sigma^2_i) ; \: i = 1,2, \cdots, n[/tex]

And if

[tex]X = X_1 + X_2 + \cdots + X_n[/tex]

Then, its distribution is given as:

[tex]X \sim N(\mu_1 + \mu_2 + \cdots + \mu_n, \: \: \sigma^2_1 + \sigma^2_2 + \cdots + \sigma^2_n)[/tex]

If, for the given case, we assume two normally distributed random variables as:

X = variable assuming weights of boxes of Post Corn Flakes
Y = variable assuming weights of boxes of Kellogs

Then, as per the given data, we get:

[tex]X \sim N(\mu = 64.1, \sigma = 0.5)\\Y \sim N(\mu = 63.9, \sigma = 0.4)[/tex]

Then,  the probability that the Post box will outweigh the Kellogs box can be written as:

[tex]P(X > Y)[/tex]

Or,

[tex]P(X -Y > 0)[/tex]

We need to know about the properties of X-Y.

Also, since [tex]E(aX) = aE(X), Var(aX) = a^2Var(X)[/tex], thus,

[tex]-Y \sim N(-63.9, 0.4)[/tex]

As both are independent(assuming), thus,

[tex]X - Y \sim N(\mu = 64.1 - 63.9, \sigma = 0.5 + 0.4) = N(0.2, 0.9)[/tex]

Using the standard normal distribution, we get the needed probability as:

[tex]P(X -Y > 0) = 1 - P(X - Y \leq 0) \\P(X -Y > 0)= 1- P(Z = \dfrac{(X-Y) - \mu}{\sigma} \leq \dfrac{0 - 0.2}{0.9})\\P(X -Y > 0) \approx 1 - P(Z \leq -0.22)[/tex]

Using the z-tables, the p-value for Z = -0.22 is 0.4129

Thus, [tex]P(X > Y) = P(X - Y > 0) \approx 0.4129[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the post box will outweigh the Kellogs box is 0.4129 approximately.

The probability that a randomly selected Post box outweighs a Kellogg's box is approximately 50%.

To find the probability that the Post box will outweigh the Kellogg's box, we need to calculate the difference in weights between the two brands and then determine the probability that this difference is positive.

Let X be the weight of a box of Post Corn Flakes and Y be the weight of a box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes.

We are given that:

- For Post Corn Flakes, X ~ N(μ = 64.1, σ = 0.5)

- For Kellogg's Corn Flakes, Y ~ N(μ = 63.9, σ = 0.4)

We want to find P(X > Y), which is the probability that a randomly selected box of Post Corn Flakes weighs more than a randomly selected box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes.

Now, let Z = X - Y. We are interested in finding P(Z > 0).

The mean and standard deviation of Z can be calculated as follows:

- Mean of Z: μ_Z = μ_X - μ_Y = 64.1 - 63.9 = 0.2 oz

- Standard deviation of Z: σ_Z =[tex]sqrt(σ_X^2 + σ_Y^2) = sqrt(0.5^2 + 0.4^2)= sqrt(0.25 + 0.16)= sqrt(0.41) = 0.64 oz[/tex]

Now, we standardize Z:

Z = (X - Y - μ_Z) / σ_Z

Therefore,

P(Z > 0) = P((X - Y - μ_Z) / σ_Z > 0)

         = P((X - Y) > μ_Z)

         = P((X - Y) > 0.2)

Now we look up the z-score corresponding to Z = 0.2:

z = (0.2 - μ_Z) / σ_Z

  = (0.2 - 0.2) / 0.64

  = 0

The probability that Z is greater than 0 is equal to the probability that the standardized Z-score is greater than 0, which is 0.5.

Therefore, the probability that the Post box will outweigh the Kellogg's box is 0.5 or 50%.

After doing some research, she believes that the chemicals within the fertilizer will make a plant increase in size. She also believes that plants that do not receive fertilizer will be smaller in size. Emma plans to put the same type of plant seed into 6 pots containing soil and fertilizer and monitor how the plants grow. She runs out of fertilizer, though, and decides to put sand into 3 of the pots instead of fertilizer and soil.

This is because children inherit genes from both parents. A child receives 1/2 of his/her genes from the mother and the other half from the father. Genes are part of our DNA; our DNA makes up the chromosomes in our body and sex cells. Sex cells or gametes are produced during the process of meiosis. Gametes have 1/2 the number of chromosomes as do regular body cells, like skin or muscle cells. When fertilization takes place, the two sets of alleles from the male gamete (sperm) and the female gamete (egg) are combined.Many years ago, Gregor Mendel discovered that we have dominant and recessive traits that are determined by our genes. For examples, brown eyes are dominant over blue eyes. Scientists represent the gene for a trait with a letter: capital letter for dominant and lower case letter for recessive. A brown-eye person would have the genotype BB or Bb. A blue-eyes person would have the genotype bb. Whenever a dominant trait is combined with a recessive trait (Bb), the dominant trait most often masked the recessive trait. Look at the grid above. This is called a Punnett square. It shows the genotypes of two parents and then the possible gametes that could be produced by each parent. We use the Punnett square to show the possible combinations of genes and the resulting traits. In this case, two black rats mate and their potential off-spring could be black (BB, Bb) or white (bb). The chances of having a black rat in this example is 3:4 or 75% and having a white rat is 1:4 or 25%.Drag the labels to the correct locations within the Punnett square.BlackDominant genePhenotypeRecessive geneWhite Steam Workshop Downloader
