A computer software company models its profit with the function P(x) = -x2 + 15x – 34 where x is the number of games, in hundreds, that the company sells and P(x) is the profit, in thousands of dollars. How many games must the company sell to get $16,000 in profit?

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A computer software company models its profit with the function :

[tex]P(x) = x^2 + 15x -34[/tex] ....(1)

Where

x is the number of games, in hundreds, that the company sells and P(x) is the profit, in thousands of dollars.

We need to find the number of games the company sell to get $16,000 in profit.

Put P(x) = 16,000 in equation (1).

[tex]x^2 + 15x -34=16000\\\\x^2+15x-34-16000=0\\\\x^2+15x-34-16000=0\\\\x^2+15x-16034=0[/tex]

Using quadratic formula with a=1, b=15, c=-16034.

[tex]x=\frac{-15+\sqrt{15^{2}-4\left(1\right)\left(-16034\right)}}{2\left(-1\right)}, \frac{-15-\sqrt{15^{2}-4\left(1\right)\left(-16034\right)}}{2\left(-1\right)}\\\\=-119.34, 134.34[/tex]

Neglecting negative value,

No of games = 134 (approx)

Answer:

0.333n + 28 ; 33.3 ; $41.653

Step-by-step explanation:

For the best fit line :

The slope of the graph :

Drawing a right angled triangle at any point on the best fit line :

Gradient = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Gradient = (45 - 30) / (50 - 5)

Gradient = 15 / 45

Gradient = 0.333

Intercept :

Where best fit line crosses the y - axis = 28

b = 0.333n + 28

The extra cost of each extra call made made is the slope of the graph :

$0.333 = 33.3 cents

Estimated cost of 41 calls

b = 0.333(41) + 28

b = $41.653

The plastic cylinder has a diameter of 2 cm. There is a rectangular 0.6 cm square prism through the middle of the cylinder, extending from the top to the bottom. The height of the cylinder is 6 cm. Find the volume of the cylinder without the prism.

Answers

Answer:

16.69 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

In finding the volume of the cylinder without the prism you find the volume of the cylinder assuming it has no prism in it then minus the volume of the prism

Volume of the cylinder assuming there is no prism through it

V=πr²h  where r is radius of the cylinder and h is height of the cylinder

Given that diameter = 2, then r= 1 cm  and height, h = 6cm

V= π * 1 * 1 * 6

V= 18.85 cm³

Volume of the rectangular prism

V= l*w*h

V= 6*0.6*0.6

V= 2.16 cm³

The volume of the cylinder without the prism

18.85 cm³-2.16 cm³ = 16.69 cm³

Slope -1 , y intersept is (0,4)

Answer:

Y intercept=4 and the slope is -1/1 or -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The numeral by itself is the Y intercept and thw number next to the x would be the slope is there is no number its just one and if its a single number for ex 4x it would be 4/1 so your answer would be Y intercept=4 and the slope is -1/1 or -1

Answer:

X = 3.

explanation is in the picture.

hope it helps.

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2(3x -5) + 3x + 3 = 20

^^ solve parenthesis

6x - 10 + 3x + 3 = 20

    +10                 +10

add ten to both sides

6x + 3x + 3 = 30

add like terms

9x + 3 = 30

      -3     -3

subtract 3 from both sides

9x = 27

divide both sides by 9

x = 3

The line L passes through the points (0, –2) and (6, 1).

Find an equation of the line L.

Answers

The equation for line L is, y=-1/6x+2

Answer:

an equation of the line L will be: y = 1/2x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where

m is the slopeb is the y-intercept

Given the points

(0, -2)(6, 1)

Determining the slope between (0, -2) and (6, 1)

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

[tex]\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(0,\:-2\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(6,\:1\right)[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{1-\left(-2\right)}{6-0}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

The y-intercept can be determined by setting x = 0, and determining the corresponding value of y.

From the point (0, -2), we can determine that at x = 0, the value of y = -2.

Thus,

The y-intercept b = -2

now substituting b = -2 and m = 1/2 in the slope-intercept form of line equation

y = mx+b

y = 1/2x + -2

y = 1/2x - 2

Therefore, an equation of the line L will be: y = 1/2x - 2

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Probability = 0.2975[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving:

Swimming

[tex]P(Win[Swim])= 65\%[/tex]

Running

[tex]P(Win[Run])= 85\%[/tex]

Required

Determine the probability of winning at running and losing at swimming

First, we calculate the probability of losing at swimming using

[tex]P(Win) + P(Lose) = 1[/tex]

Substitute 65% for P(Win)

[tex]65\% + P(Lose[Swim]) = 1[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]P(Lose[Swim]) = 1 - 65\%[/tex]

[tex]P(Lose[Swim]) = 35\%[/tex]

The required probability is then calculated using:

[tex]Probability = P(Win[Run]) * P(Lose[Swim])[/tex]

[tex]Probability = 85\% * 35\%[/tex]

Convert to decimal

[tex]Probability = 0.85 * 0.35[/tex]

[tex]Probability = 0.2975[/tex]

A holiday costs £1900. Work out the price after a 9% discount

Answers

Hey there!

The answer to your question is £1729.

To solve this equation, first we find how much is left. 100% - 9% = 91 %. That means that the new price is 91% of the old price. So, we can do 0.91 x 1900, and we get 1729.

Therefore, the new price is  £1729.

Hope it helps! Have a great day, and good luck!

A holiday costs £1900.The price after a 9% discount is £1729

For better understanding , check the calcualtion to find out price after discount below.

Calculation

A holiday costs £1900. we need to find out the price after a 9% discount

We are given with 9% discount. find out the discount amount from the cost .

Discount amount = original cost * the discount percentage

discount amount

[tex]1900 \cdot 9percent\\\\1900 \cdot \frac{9}{100} \\171[/tex]

Discount amount is £171

Now subtract the discount amount from the original cost

Final cost after discount is

[tex]1900 - 171 \\1729[/tex]

A holiday costs £1900.The price after a 9% discount is £1729
