Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to do this so as to streamline both the vertex and finding the zeros is to complete the square. That method will provide us with the vertex, and then we can continue on to factor from that form to find the zeros. Completing the square requires us to set the quadratic equal to 0 then move over the constant, giving us

[tex]-x^2+18x=72[/tex] The leading coefficient HAS to be a positive 1; ours is negative 1 so we factor out the negative to get:

[tex]-(x^2-18x)=72[/tex] Now we're ready to complete the square.

Take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides. Our linear term is 18 (from -18x; don't worry about the negative because squaring it makes it positive anyway). Half of 18 is 9, and 9 squared is 81.

BUT on the left we have that -1 sitting out front that refuses to be ignored. What we actually added on to the left side, inside the parenthesis, is -1(81) which is -81.   -81 is what we add to the right since that turns out to be what we added to the left:

[tex]-(x^2-18x+81)=72-81[/tex] and we clean that up.

The reason we complete the square is because when we simplify the left side, we end up with a perfect square binomial found from taking the square root of x-squared, the first sign we come to, then the square root of 81:

[tex]-(x-9)^2=-9[/tex].  Move the constant back over to get

[tex]-(x-9)^2+9=y[/tex] telling us that the vertex is (9, 9). In the context of the problem that means that the gym sells on average 9 memberships a day and the profit it makes on average per day is $9.

To factor, we will go back one step to

[tex]-(x-9)^2=-9[/tex] and begin by dividing both sides by -1 to get

[tex](x-9)^2=9[/tex] and undo the squaring by taking the square root of both sides to get

x - 9 = ±3 so

x = 9 + 3 and

x = 9 - 3 so

x = 6 and 12

Those are the zeros. This means that if they sell either 6 or 12 memberships they have a 0 profit. That may sound strange, but in business it does often work like that...selling too many of something makes your company lose money (this is often due to the cost required by you to produce or manufacture the product).

Find the area of the shaded part ! ​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Semicircle:

Shaded area of semicircle = area of outer semicircle - area of inner semicircle

Outer semicircle:

d = 40 m  r = 40/2 = 20m

Area of outer semicircle = πr²

                                        = 3.14*20*20

                                        =    1256 m²

Inner semicircle:

d = 30 m  r = 30/2 = 15 m

Area of outer semicircle = πr²

                                        = 3.14*15*15

                                        =  706.5 m²

Shaded area of semicircle = 1256 - 706.5 = 549.5 m²

Shaded area of semicircle in both sides = 2 * 549.5 = 1099 m²

Rectangle on both sides:

Length = 50 m

width = 30 m

Area of shaded rectangles on both sides = 2* (length *width)

                                                                      = 2* 50 * 30

                                                                       = 3000 m²

Shaded area = 1099 + 3000 = 4099 m²

What is the value of x?

Answers

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, use trigonometric function to find RT.

θ = 60°

Opposite = 2√3

Hypotenuse = RT

Apply SOH:

Sin θ = Opp/Hyp

Plug in the values

Sin 60° = 2√3/RT

RT*Sin 60° = 2√3

Divide both sides by Sin 60°

RT = 2√3/sin 60°

RT = 2√3 × √3/2 (sin 60° = √3/2)

RT = (2√3 × √3)/2

RT = (2 × 3)/2

RT = 3

✔️Find x

θ = 45°

Opposite = x

Adjacent = 3

Apply TOA:

Tan θ = Opp/Adj

Substitute

Tan 45° = x/3

3 × Tan 45° = x

3 × 1 = x (tan 45° = 1)

3 = x

x = 3

This is good to remember.

Sin = opposite/ hypotenuse

Cos= adjacent/ hypotenuse

Tan = opposite/ adjacent

In this case you have TanZ, the side adjacent to the angle is 10 and the opposite to the angle is 24. So tanZ is 24/10 which simplifies to 12/5.

The hypotenuse is always the longest side, but the opposite and adjacent sides can change depending on the angle.

Many freeways have service (or logo) signs that give information on attractions, camping, lodging, food, and gas services prior to off-ramps. These signs typically do not provide information on distances. An article reported that in one investigation, six sites along interstate highways where service signs are posted were selected.

Answers

Answer:

Test statistic = 0.63

Pvalue = 0.555

A. Fail to reject H0. The data does not suggest a significant mean difference in the average number of accidents after information was added to road signs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Before 13 22 65 123 56 63

After_ 14 21 43 84 75 72

To perform a paired t test :

H0 : μd = 0

H1 : μd ≠ 0

We obtain the difference between the two dependent sample readings ;

Difference, d = -1, 1, 22, 39, -19, -9

The mean of difference, Xd = Σd/ n = 33/6 = 5.5

The standard deviation, Sd = 21.296 (calculator).

The test statistic :

T = Xd ÷ (Sd/√n) ; where n = 6

T = 5.5 ÷ (21.296/√6)

T = 5.5 ÷ 8.6940555

T = 0.6326

The Pvalue : Using a Pvalue calculator ;

df = n - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5

Pvalue(0.6326, 5) = 0.5548

Decision region :

Reject H0 ; If Pvalue < α; α = 0.05

Since 0.5548 > 0.05 ; we fail to reject the Null and conclude that the data does not suggest a significant mean difference in the average number of accidents after information was added to road signs.

Which function represents the graph of f(x)=−4|x| after it is translated 3 units down?

Answers

Answer:

The function with blue line (see attachment) represents the graph of [tex]f(x) = -4\cdot |x|[/tex] after it is translated 3 units down.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically speaking, a translation in the y-direction is defined by the following expression:

[tex]g(x) = f(x) + k[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]g(x)[/tex] - Resulting function.

[tex]f(x)[/tex] - Original function.

[tex]k[/tex] - Translation factor ([tex]k > 0[/tex] - Translation in the +y direction/[tex]k< 0[/tex] - Translation in the -y direction).

If we know that original function is translated 3 units down and [tex]f(x) = -4\cdot |x|[/tex], then the resulting function is:

[tex]g(x) = -4\cdot |x|-3[/tex]

Lastly, we graph both original and resulting functions with the help of a graphing tool, whose outcome is presented in the image attached below:

Please notice that the red line represents the original function, whereas the blue line represents the resulting function.

Answer:

  34 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure can be decomposed into a trapezoid and a triangle. The point of intersection of the two lines is (6, 4), so a horizontal line at y=4 will create ...

a triangle of height 2 and base 6a trapezoid with bases 6 and 8, and height 4.

Using the relevant area formulas, we find ...

  triangle area = 1/2bh = 1/2(6)(2) = 6

  trapezoid area = 1/2(b1 +b2)h = 1/2(6+8)(4) = 28

Total shaded area = 6 + 28 = 34 square units.

__

The equations of the lines can be written as ...

  y = -2x +16

  y = -1/3x +6

Equating y, we get

 -2x +16 = -1/3x +6

  10 = 5/3x . . . . . . . . . add 2x-6

  6 = x . . . . . . . . . multiply by 3/5

  y = -2(6) +16 = 4

The point of intersection is (6, 4).

_____

Alternate solution

Once we know the vertices of the shaded area:

(0, 0)(0, 6)(6, 4)(8, 0)(0, 0)

we can form pairwise "determinants" of the form x1y2 -x2y1. Note the first point is repeated at the bottom of the list, and the points are listed in order around the boundary of the area. The points (0, 0) contribute nothing, so we have left them out of the computation below. The area is half the absolute value of the sum of these "determinants".

  1/2|(0·4 -6·6) +(6·0)-(8·4)|

Answers

Answer:

3 out of 12 chance i believe.

Answer:

[tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll need to use casework, since the problem stipulates there needs to be exactly one red drawn. Because we're drawing two marbles, we can either draw a red one first or a red one second. With casework, we'll add the probability a red marble is drawn the first draw and the probability a red marble is drawn the second draw.

There are [tex]4+3+5=12[/tex] marbles total. The probability of drawing a red marble is equal to the number of red marbles (3) divided by the total number of marbles (12). Therefore, the probability of getting a marble on the first draw is [tex]3/12=1/4[/tex]. Since the marble is replaced, there are still 12 marbles, 4 blue, 3 red, and 5 green, for the second draw. We want to add the probability a red marble is drawn the first draw to the probability a red marble is drawn the second draw. Therefore, for the second draw, let's find the chances of not choosing a red marble. There is a [tex]9/12[/tex] chance that the marble chosen is not red. Therefore, the probably of this case happening is [tex]\frac{1}{4}\cdot \frac{9}{12}=\frac{9}{48}[/tex].

This case has the exact same probability as the other case, where a non-red marble is chosen the first draw and the red marble is now chosen the second draw ([tex]9/12[/tex] chance to choose a non-red marble and [tex]1/4[/tex] chance to choose a red marble).

Add these cases up:

[tex]\frac{9}{48}+\frac{9}{48}=\frac{18}{48}=\boxed{\frac{3}{8}}[/tex]
