The function f(x) = –x2 + 20x – 75 models the profit from one customer, in dollars, a shop makes for printing photos, where x is the number of photos printed, and f(x) is the amount of profit.

Part A: Determine the vertex. What does this calculation mean in the context of the problem?

Part B: Determine the x-intercepts. What do these values mean in the context of the problem?

Answers

Answer 1
f(x) = -x^2 + 20x - 75 = (x-5)*(-x + 15)
The two x-intercepts are x = 5 and x = 15, which are the two values of x where f(x) = 0. The vertex is located halfway between these two points, so where x = 10. When x = 10, f(x) = 25, so the vertex of this graph is (10, 25).

Part A: The vertex is (10, 25). The vertex represents the point where the profit is a maximum. When 10 photos are printed, the profit is $25.

Part B: The two x-intercepts are x = 5 and x = 15. This shows where the profit is $0. When 5 photos or 15 photos are printed, the profit is $0.

6 times the quantity x plus 1 end quantity over the quantity 2x minus 5 end quantity times 4 x plus 3
6 times the quantity x plus 1 end quantity over the quantity 2x plus 5 end quantity times 4 x plus 3

Answers

First we have to factorize:
8 x² - 14 x - 15 = 8 x² - 20 x + 6 x - 15 =
= 4 x ( 2 x - 5 ) + 3 ( 2 x - 5 ) =
= ( 2 x - 5 ) ( 4 x + 3 )
Then we will put it into the equation:
3 / ( 4 x + 3 ) +  21 / ( 2 x - 5 ) ( 4 x + 3 ) =
= 3 ( 2 x - 5 ) + 21 / ( 2 x - 5 ) ( 4 x + 3 ) =

Answer: Third Option is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

[tex]\frac{3}{4x+3}+\frac{21}{8x^2-14x-15}[/tex]

Now, we will simplify it, step by step:

A key code must contain 6 numerals. There are 10 numerals available. Using these numerals, how many different key codes may be created? A. 151,200 B. 340 C. 210 D. 3,480

Answers

[tex]10\cdot 9\cdot 8\cdot 7\cdot 6\cdot 5=151,200[/tex]

Answer: Option A, 151,200 possible combinations.

Explanation:

The code must contain 6 numbers, and there are a total of 10 numbers avaible. Here we must assume that the numbers must be different, because of the word "avaible" and the options avaible.

This means that for the first number, we have 10 options, for the second number, we have 9 options (because we already took 1), in the third number, we have 8 options, and so on.

The total number of combinations is equal to the product between the number of options for each number in the code.

10*9*8*7*6*5 = 151,200

Then the right option is A.

Which is an equation of a circle with center (2, -1) that passes through the point (3, 4)?

1. (x + 2)2 + (y - 1)2 = 26
2. (x + 2)2 + (y - 1)2 = 13
3. (x - 2)2 + (y + 1)2 = 26
4. (x - 2)2 + (y + 1)2 = 13

Answers

The equation for a circle is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2. Because we have a center and a coordinate, all we have to solve for is the radius.  Fill in the equation like this: (3-2)^2 + (4+1)^2 = r^2.  That gives us 1^2 + 5^2 = r^2 and 26=r^2.  Now we use that squared radius along with the center to complete the equation for the circle: (x-2)^2 + (y+1)^2 = 26 which is #3 above.

Hillary rolls 2 number cubes numbered 1 through 6 while playing her favorite board game. She will get a second turn if she rolls a sum that is an odd number greater than 10. What are Hillary's chances of getting a second turn when she rolls the number cubes?

Answers

There is only one odd sum greater than 10 for a pair of dice, 11, and there are only two ways to roll that, a 5 and 6 or a 6 and 5.

P(11)=(2/6)(1/6)

P(11)=2/36

P(11)=1/18
The sample space = {36} total outcomes:
 Te odd sum  greater than 10 is:
either 5 + 6 = 11  or 6 + 5 =11

to get 5 & 6, P= 1/36
OR to get 6 & 5, P = 1/36
In "either or" you will add the probabilities"

P(to get a chance of getting a second turn)=1/36+1/36 = 2/36 = 1/18=0.0555

If x = 3 is a zero of the polynomial function f(x) = 2x3 + x2 − 25x + 12, which of the following is another zero of f(x)? ASAP

Answers

The other zeros of the polynomial if 3 is a zero is -4 and 1/2

If  x = 3 is a zero of the polynomial function f(x) = 2x3 + x2 − 25x + 12, then x - 3 is a factor.

To get the other factor we will take the division of the polynomial and the factor to have:

2x^3 + x^2 − 25x + 12/x - 3 = 2x² + 7x - 4

Factorize 2x² + 7x - 4

2x² + 7x - 4 = 0

2x² + 8x - x- 4 = 0

2x(x+4)-1(x+4) = 0

(x+4)(2x-1) = 0

x = -4 and 1/2

Hence the other zeros of the polynomial if 3 is a zero is -4 and 1/2

The function below shows the number of car owners f(t), in thousands, in a city in different years t: f(t) = 0.25t2 − 0.5t + 3.5 The average rate of change of f(t) from t = 2 to t = 6 is ______ thousand owners per year. Answer for Blank 1:

Answers

We solve this by the definition of slope in analytical geometry. The definition of slope is the rise over run. In equation, that would be

m = Δy/Δx = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

The x-coordinates here are the t values, while the y-coordinates are the f(t) values. So, let's find the y values of the boundaries.

At t=2: f(t)= 0.25(2)² − 0.5(2) + 3.5 = 3.5
Point 1 is (2, 3.5)
At t=6: f(t)= 0.25(6)² − 0.5(6) + 3.5 = 9.5
Point 2 is (6, 9.5)

The slope would then be

m = (9.5-3.5)/(6-2)
m = 1.5

Hence, the slope is 1.5. Interpreting the data, the rate of change between t=2 and t=6 is 1.5 thousands per year.

A square with an area of 64 in2 is rotated to form a cylinder. What is the radius of the cylinder?

Answers

The area of the square is calculated through the equation,

                               Area = e²

where e is the measure of sides.
 
From the given,

                              64 = e²
                               e = sqrt 64 = 8 inches

The length of the side of the square rotated to form the cylinder is the diameter of the base of the cylinder. To get the radius, we divide the diameter by 2.

                             radius = 8 inches / 2 = 4 inches

Thus, the radius of the cylinder is equal to 4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:The line of best fit is a line which best represents the data and the data points are closely related to it.It is also known as a trend line.The line of best fit may pass through, some , none or all of the data points.Also if the scatter plot does not pass through all the data point then the magnitude of positive residual must be approximately equal to the magnitude of negative residual of the data points.

Hence, by looking at the scatter plot we see that all the data points lie above Line R.

Hence, the Line R will not be a line of best fit.

But all the data points lie close to the line P , hence it act as a line of best fit.

Answer:

The correct options are B and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadrilateral is called rectangle if the opposite sides are congruent and parallel to each other. All interior angles are right angle and congruent.

To prove that the diagonals of a rectangle are congruent the necessary conditions are

1. Opposite sides of a rectangle are congruent.

2. All right angles are congruent.

Therefore options A and C are necessary conditions. Option A and C are incorrect.

The opposite sides of a rectangle are parallel to each other and two parallel lines never intersect each other.

Therefore the opposite sides are not perpendicular to each other. Option D is correct.

The angle whose measure is more than 90 degree is called an obtuse angle.

Since all interior angles of a rectangle are right angle and congruent, therefore there is no obtuse angle. So, condition B is unnecessary. Option B is correct.

A captain of a fishing boat pays each member of his crew $20, plus $3 per fish caught. How much would a crew member earn for catching 40 fish?

Answers

Answer: C) $140

20 times 3 plus 20

A crew member would earn $140 for catching 40 fish, calculated by adding the base pay of $20 to the additional pay of $3 per fish caught for the total number of fish.

To calculate how much a crew member would earn for catching 40 fish, given that the captain of the fishing boat pays each crew member a base amount of $20 plus an additional $3 per fish caught. To find the total earnings, we use the formula:

Total earnings = Base pay + (Pay per fish × Number of fish caught)

Plugging the given numbers into the formula, we get:

Total earnings = $20 + ($3 × 40)

Total earnings = $20 + $120

Total earnings = $140

Therefore, a crew member would earn $140 for catching 40 fish.

How to algebraically find the limit of a function as x approaches infinity?

Answers

Well... One way you can do this is by testing a set of arrays and see the trend. If I chose to find what y1 is in (100, y1) and what y2 is in (101, y2), I would find the difference between y2 and y1. If y2 - y1 is positive, this means there is a positive relationship and y is also approaching POSITIVE infinity. A negative relation means that it is approaching NEGATIVE infinity. However, it could be approaching a single number like "4" for instance, and you just need to plug in the right number of data sets to make that educated guess.

Formula Example:
5 + 1 / (x + 1) will always approach 5 because "1 / (x + 1) will approach 0".

Hope this helps.

To algebraically find limit of a function as "x" approaches infinity, identify highest degree term, divide by "x", and evaluate the resulting expression.

To algebraically find the limit of a function as x approaches infinity, we can follow the below steps :

(i) Identify the highest degree term: Determine the term with the highest power of x in the function.

(ii) Ignore lower degree terms: If the highest degree term is dominant, ignore lower degree terms and constants.

(iii) Divide by x: Divide every term in the function by x raised to the power of the highest degree.

(iv) Evaluate the limit: Examine the resulting expression as x approaches infinity. If the expression tends to a finite value, that is the limit. If the expression diverges (goes to infinity or negative infinity), then the limit does not exist.

By simplifying the function and observing the behavior of the resulting expression, we can algebraically determine the limit of the function as x approaches infinity.

There are 150 marigold plants in a back yard. Each month, the number of marigold plants decreases by 15%. There are 125 sunflower plants in the back yard. Each month, 8 sunflower plants are removed. Part A: Write functions to represent the number of marigold plants and the number of sunflower plants in the back yard throughout the months. (4 points) Part B: How many marigold plants are in the back yard after 3 months? How many sunflower plants are in the back yard after the same number of months? (2 points) Part C: After approximately how many months is the number of marigold plants and the number of sunflower plants the same? Justify your answer mathematically. (4 points)

Answers

To solve this problem, let us first assign variables. Let us say that:

X = number of marigold plants

Y = number of sunflower plants

n = number of months

We can see that in the given problem, X is decreasing by a percentage, this means that we have to set-up a geometric equation while for Y the decrease is linear so we set-up an arithmetic equation.

 

Part A.

For marigold plants X, a geometric sequence has a general form of:

X = Xo * (1 + r)^n

where r = -15% = -0.15   (negative since it is decreasing)

Xo = the initial amount of marigold plants = 150

X = 150 * (1 – 0.15)^n

X = 150 (0.85)^n

 

For the sunflower plants Y, an arithmetic sequence has a general form of:

Y = Yo + d * n

where d = -8 and Yo = 125

Y = 125 – 8 n

 

Part B. For n = 3

 

X = 150 (0.85)^3 = 92.12 = 92

 

Y = 125 – 8 (3) = 101

 

Part C. From Part B we see that the two values are very far from each other when n = 3, therefore they must be similar when n < 3. So we try n = 2

 

X = 150 (0.85)^2 = 108.38 = 108

 

Y = 125 – 8 (2) = 109

 

Therefore the two plants have approximately similar amount after 2 months.

Forman1911THE MATCHThere never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by natureby a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.Read this sentence from the text:In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match...What is the purpose of this line from the text?
