65 is what percent of 120?
(round to the nearest percent)

Answer:

You just need to think about this a little. There is a number, that you don't know, x, and if you square it ([tex]x^2[/tex]), that value will be equal to 72 more than the unknown number itself, so you put that into an equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]x^2=x+72\\x^2-x-72=0\\[/tex]

Apply quadratic formula (you can look it up)

[tex]x_1=\frac{-(-1)+\sqrt{(-1)^2+(-4*1*-72} )}{2(1)} \\\\x_2=\frac{-(-1)-\sqrt{(-1)^2+(-4*1*-72} )}{2(1)} \\\\[/tex]

There are two answers to the quadratic formula.

The rest should be easy.

f cannot have a jump discontinuity at [tex]$x_0 \in(a, b)$[/tex] and  [tex]$$ \lim _{x \uparrow x_0} f(x) < \lim _{x \mid x_0} f(x) .$$[/tex]

f cannot have a removable discontinuity at [tex]$$x_0 \in(a, b) $$[/tex] and [tex]\alpha=\lim _{x \rightarrow x_0} f(x) < f\left(x_0\right)[/tex]

Let f be a function defined on (a, b) satisfies intermediate value property.

Claim: f ca not have removable on jump discontinuity.

Suppose f has a jump discontinuity at [tex]$x_0 \in(a, b)$[/tex]

We take [tex]$\theta$[/tex] such that

[tex]$$\lim _{x \rightarrow x_0} f(x) < \theta < \lim _{x \downarrow x_0} f(x) \text { and } \theta \neq f\left(x_0\right)$$[/tex]

Now there exist [tex]$\delta > 0$[/tex] such that [tex]$f(x) < \theta$[/tex] for all [tex]$x \in\left[x_0-\delta, x_0\right)$[/tex] and [tex]$f(x) > \theta$[/tex] for all [tex]$x \in\left(x_0, x_0+\delta\right]$[/tex]

Now [tex]$f\left(x_0-\delta\right)[/tex][tex]< \theta < f\left(x_0+\delta\right)$[/tex] for all [tex]$x \in\left[x_0-\delta, x_0+\delta\right] \backslash\left\{x_2\right\}$[/tex] and [tex]$f\left(x_0\right) \neq \theta$[/tex].

Therefore the point [tex]$\theta$[/tex] has no preimage under f

that is, there does not exists [tex]$y \in\left[x_0-\delta, x_0+\delta\right][/tex] for which

[tex]$$f(y)=\theta[/tex] because [tex]\left\{\begin{array}{l}y=x_0 \Rightarrow f(y) \neq \theta \\y > x_0 \Rightarrow f(y) > \theta \\y < x_0 \Rightarrow f(y) < \theta\end{array}\right.$$[/tex]

Therefore f does not satisfies intermediate value property on [tex]$\left[x_0-\delta, x_0+\delta\right]$[/tex],

Hence f does not satisfies IVP on (a, b) which is not possible because we assume f satisfies IVP on (a, b),

Therefore f can not have a jump discontinuity.

Suppose f has a removable point of discontinuity at [tex]$x_0 \in(a, b)$[/tex],

Let [tex]$\alpha=\lim _{\alpha \rightarrow x_0} f(x)$[/tex],

Let [tex]\alpha < f\left(x_0\right)$[/tex] so [tex]$f\left(x_0\right)-\alpha > 0$[/tex].

Now [tex]$\lim _{x \rightarrow x_0} f(x)=\alpha$[/tex] then [tex]\exists$ \delta > 0$[/tex] such that

[tex]$$\begin{aligned}& |f(x)-\alpha| < \frac{f\left(x_0\right)-\alpha}{2} \text { for all } x \in\left\{x_0-\delta, x_0-\alpha\right]-\left\{x_0\right\} \\& \Rightarrow \quad f(x) < \alpha+\frac{f\left(x_0\right)-\alpha}{2} \text { for all } x \in\left[x_0-\delta, x_0+\delta\right]-\left\{x_0\right\}\end{aligned}$$[/tex]

So [tex]$f(x) < \frac{f\left(x_0\right)+\alpha}{2}$[/tex] for all [tex]$x \in\left[x_0-\delta, x_0\right]-\left\{x_0\right\}$[/tex]

Now [tex]$f\left(x_0\right) > \alpha$[/tex].

And  [tex]$f(x) < \frac{f\left(x_0\right)+\alpha}{2} < f\left(x_0\right)$[/tex] for all [tex]$x \in\left[\left(x_0 \delta, x_0\right)\right.$[/tex]

Let [tex]$\mu=\frac{f\left(x_0\right)+\alpha}{2}$[/tex].

Then there does not exist [tex]$e \in\left[x_0-\delta, c\right]$[/tex] such that [tex]$f(c)=\mu$[/tex]

Because for [tex]$e=x_0 \quad f(e) > \mu$[/tex]

                for [tex]$c < x_0 \quad f(c) < \mu$[/tex].

Therefore f does not satisfy IVP on [tex]$\left[x_0-\delta_1 x_0\right]$[/tex] which contradict our hypothesis,

therefore [tex]$\alpha \geqslant f\left(x_0\right)$[/tex]

Let [tex]$\alpha > f\left(x_0\right)$[/tex]. so [tex]$\alpha-f\left(x_0\right) > 0$[/tex]

[tex]$\lim _{x \rightarrow x_0} f(x)=\alpha$[/tex]

Then [tex]\exists $ \varepsilon > 0$[/tex] such that

[tex]$|f(x)-\alpha| < \frac{\alpha-f\left(x_0\right)}{2}$[/tex] for all [tex]$\left.x \in\left[x_0-\varepsilon_0 x_0+\varepsilon\right]\right\}\left\{x_i\right\}$[/tex]

[tex]$\Rightarrow f(x) > \alpha-\frac{\alpha-f\left(x_0\right)}{2}$[/tex] for all [tex]$x \in\left[x_0-\varepsilon_1, x_0+\varepsilon\right] \backslash\left\{x_0\right\}$[/tex]

[tex]$\Rightarrow f(x) > \frac{\alpha+f\left(x_0\right)}{2}$[/tex] for all [tex]$x \in\left[x_0-\varepsilon_1, x_0\right)$[/tex]

Now [tex]$f\left(x_0\right) < \alpha$[/tex]

The [tex]$f(x) > \frac{f\left(x_0\right)+\alpha}{2} > f\left(x_0\right)$[/tex].

So [tex]$f\left(x_0\right) < \frac{f\left(x_0\right)+\alpha}{2} < f(x)$[/tex] for all [tex]$x \in\left[x_0 \varepsilon, \varepsilon_0\right)$[/tex]

Let [tex]$\eta=\frac{f\left(x_e\right)+\alpha}{2}$[/tex]

Then there does not exist [tex]$d \in\left[x_0-\varepsilon, x_0\right]$[/tex] such that [tex]$f(d)=\xi$[/tex].

Because if [tex]$d=x_0, f(d)=f\left(x_0\right) < \eta$[/tex] if [tex]$d E\left[x_0-\varepsilon, x_0\right)$[/tex]

Then [tex]$f(d) > \eta$[/tex]

Therefore f does not satisfies IVP on [tex]$\left[x_0-\varepsilon, x_0\right]$[/tex] which contradict olio hypothesis.

Therefore [tex]$\alpha \leq f\left(x_0\right)$[/tex] (b) From (a) and (b) it follows [tex]$\alpha=f\left(x_0\right)=\lim _{x \rightarrow x_0} f(x)$[/tex]. Therefore f can not have a removable discontinuous

a) The value of x is 42.6 when k =16/3 is directly proportional to y.

b) The value of x is -56 when k is -7  is directly proportional to y.

What kind of variation is one where x and y are directly proportional?

x varies directly as y

x α y

x = ky

a) x=6 ; y = 32

x = ky

6 = k(32)

k = 16/3

if y = 8

then,

x = (16/3) * 8

= 128/3

x = 42.6

Hence, the value of x is 42.6 when k =16/3 is directly proportional to y.

b) x= 14 and y = -2

x = ky

14 = k(-2)

k = -7

if y = 8

x = ky

x= (-7) 8

x = -56

Note that at any time during business hours, about 7 shoppers, on average, are waiting in the checkout line to make a purchase at the Good Deals Store. This is solved using Little Law.

Little's Law asserts that the long-term average number of individuals in a stable system, L, is equal to the long-term average effective arrival rate,λ, multiplied by the average duration a customer spends in the system, W.

To compute,

First, let's make sure that all the variables use the same time unit.

Thus, if there are 84 shoppers who are making a purchase per house, then there will be: 84/60 minutes

= 1.4

This means that  λ (rate) = 1.4 and the average time (W) is 5 minutes

Using Little's Law which states that the queuing formula is:

L = λW

Note that:

λ = 1.4 (computed)

W = 5 mintues (given)

Hence, the Average number of people in queue per time is:

L = 1.4 x 5

L = 7 shoppers.

Thus, it is correct to state that at any time during work hours, about 7 shoppers, on average, are waiting in the checkout line to make a purchase at the Good Deals Store.

Given that, Clarks Inc., a shoe retailer, sells boots in different styles. In early November, the company starts selling “SunBoots” to customers for $70 per pair. When a customer purchases a pair of SunBoots, Clarks also gives the customer a 30% discount coupon for any additional future purchases made in the next 30 days. Customers can’t obtain the discount coupon otherwise. Clarks anticipates that approximately 20% of customers will utilize the coupon, and that on average those customers will purchase additional goods that normally sell for $100.

a) Two performance obligations are associated with contract. The first one is related to the sun boots, and the other one is associated with discount coupon provided.

What is a Right Angled Triangle?

According to the definition of a right triangle, a triangle is referred to as a right-angled triangle or simply a right triangle if one of its angles is a right angle (90o). Triangle PQR is a right triangle in the illustration, and its components are its base, height, and hypotenuse. Here, QR is the base, PQ is the height, and PR is the hypotenuse. The essential side of a right triangle is its hypotenuse, which is also its largest side and sits across from the triangle's right angle.

In a right triangle we have: (Hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2 + (Altitude)2

Area of a right triangle = (1/2 × base × height) square units.

PR is the Hypotenuse of the Triangle.

PQ=9

Angle ∡PQR=37° and Angle ∡RPQ=53°

LCM x GCF = 24 x 12

72 x 12 = 24 x 12

864 = 864

Hence "After drawing a Venn diagram, it was discovered that the LCM and GCF product equals 24 x 36.".

Answer: a=3 and b=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p(x)=x 2 +ax+2b

If x+2 is a factor of p(x)

Then by factor theorem

p(−2)=0

⇒(−2)

2

+a(−2)+2b=0

⇒4−2a+2b=0

⇒a−b=2   ---(i)

Also given that a+b=4    ---(ii)

Adiing (i) and (ii) we get

2a=6

⇒a=3

putting a=3 in (i) we get

a−b=2

⇒3−b=2

⇒b=1

Therefore we get a=3 and b=1
