A candlemaker prices one set of scented candles at $10 and sells an average of 200 sets each week. He finds that when he reduces the price by $1, he then sells 50 more candle sets each week. A function can be used to model the relationship between the candlemaker's weekly revenue, R(x), after x one-dollar decreases in price.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

R(x) = -50x2 + 300x + 2000

Maximum revenue of $2450 with x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

For each 1$ reduced of the price, he sells 50 more candle sets, so if he reduces x times the price by 1$, the final price will be:

price = 10 - x

And the number of sets sold will be:

sets = 200 + 50x

If the revenue is the price times the number of sets sold, we have that:

R(x) = (10 - x) * (200 + 50x)

R(x) = 2000 + 500x - 200x - 50x2

R(x) = -50x2 + 300x + 2000

To find the value of x that gives the maximum revenue, we use the formula of the vertex of the quadratic equation:

x_v = -b / 2a

x_v = -300 / (-100) = 3

And the maximum revenue is:

R(x_v) = -50*3^2 + 300*3 + 2000 = $2450

Hope this helps

Answer:

(D) y = 2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

First locate where the line touches the y axis or vertical axis. Then find the rise over run or rate of change (slope) by using the triangle method.

I call this the triangle method because it involves drawing vertical(up, and down), and horizontal(left, and right) lines from the original or diagonal line (hypotenuse or longest line) to create a right (90 degree, because the angle between them forms a square) triangle. First draw a line going to the right from a point on the original line, and form a triangle by connecting the next point with a line going up, and down (vertical line) with the line going to the right (horizontal line)

Then count the units of the vertical line and divide them by the units counted by the horizontal line.

This is k(for constant) or m(slope or steepness of a graph ) = change in or rise of y divided by the change in or rise of x = ∆y(change in or rise of y)/∆x(change in or run of x).

For this graph, starting from -5 or the point where the line touches the y axis. Draw a line going up 1 square to the right, and another going up 2 squares. Repeat this, and you will realise that it's the same pattern every time. Because the line goes up 2 squares, every time it goes to the right 1 square. There is a change of 2 in y every change of 1 in x or rise of 2 for every run of 1. Therefore, the slope is 2/1 = 2. Then since we know the graph touches the y axis at -5, y = 2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Circumference of circle = 44 in

Required:

The length of the diameter of the circle.

SOLUTION:

Circumference of circle = πd

Circumference = 44 in

π = 3.14

d = ?

Plug the values into the formula

44 = 3.14*d

Divide both sides by 3.14

44/3.14 = d

14.01 = d

d ≈ 14 in

Tree heights: Cherry trees in a certain orchard have heights that are normally distributed with mean μ = 112 inches and standard deviation σ = 10 inches.

(c) Find the first quartile of the tree heights. (d) An agricultural scientist wants to study the tallest 1% of the trees to determine whether they have a certain gene that allows them to grow taller. To do this, she needs to study all the trees above a certain height. What height is this? Part: 0 / 40 of 4 Parts Complete Part 1 of 4 Find the 22nd percentile of the tree heights. The 22nd percentile of tree heights is inches.

Answers

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X represents the tree heights.

It is provided that X follows a normal distribution with mean μ = 112 inches and standard deviation σ = 10 inches.

(a)

Compute the 22nd percentile of the tree heights as follows:

[tex]P(X<x)=0.22\\\\P(Z<z)=0.22[/tex]

The z-score for the corresponding probability is, z = -0.77.

Compute the value of x as follows:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\-0.77=\frac{x-112}{10}\\\\x=112-(0.77\times 10)\\\\x=104.3[/tex]

Thus, the 22nd percentile of the tree heights is 104.3 inches.

(b)

Compute the 80th percentile of the tree heights as follows:

[tex]P(X<x)=0.80\\\\P(Z<z)=0.80[/tex]

The z-score for the corresponding probability is, z = 0.84.

Compute the value of x as follows:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\0.84=\frac{x-112}{10}\\\\x=112+(0.84\times 10)\\\\x=120.4[/tex]

Thus, the 80th percentile of the tree heights is 120.4 inches.

(c)

Compute the first quartile of the tree heights as follows:

[tex]P(X<x)=0.25\\\\P(Z<z)=0.25[/tex]

The z-score for the corresponding probability is, z = -0.67.

Compute the value of x as follows:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\-0.67=\frac{x-112}{10}\\\\x=112-(0.67\times 10)\\\\x=113.3[/tex]

Thus, the first quartile of the tree heights is 113.3 inches.

(d)

The tallest 1% of the trees, i.e. P (X > x) = 0.01.

That is, P (X < x) = 0.99.

⇒ P (Z < z) = 0.99

The corresponding z-value is, z = 2.33.

Compute the value of x as follows:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\0.99=\frac{x-112}{10}\\\\x=112+(0.99\times 10)\\\\x=121.9[/tex]

Thus, the tallest 1% of the trees are more than 121.9 inches tall.

D. For each increase of 1,321 grams in mass, A increases by approximately 1 square centimeter.

Answers

Answer:

Option A: For each increase of 1 gram in mass, A increases by approximately 0.3433 square centimeter.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function;

A= 1321 + 0.3433m

To find the rate of increase of the area, we will find the derivative of the function. Thus;

dA/dm = 0.3433

This means that the area increases at the rate of 0.3433 Sq.metre for each additional 1 gram added to the mass.

Looking at the given options, the one that corresponds to our answer is Option A

The following is an excerpt from a soccer magazine. Read and answer the question The ball should weigh between 410–450 g (14–16 oz), with a circumference of 68–70 cm (27–28 in). The ball's weight must be in the range of 410 to 450 g (14 to 16 oz) and inflated to a pressure of 0.6 and 1.1 bars (8.7 and 16.0 psi) at sea level. Create a compound inequality for the weight using min and max weight values, leave units out, just the numerical answer.

Answers

Answer:

A) 410 ≤ x ≤ 450 AND 68 ≤ y ≤ 70

B) 410 ≤ x ≤ 450 AND 0.6 ≤ x ≤ 1.1

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first statement we are told that the ball should weigh between 410–450 g (14–16 oz), with a circumference of 68–70 cm (27–28 in).

If the weight is x, it means we have the inequality as;

410 ≤ x ≤ 450

If the circumference is denoted as y, we have;

68 ≤ y ≤ 70

Compound inequality is when we join two inequalities with the word "OR" or the word "AND.

Thus, the compound inequality is;

410 ≤ x ≤ 450 AND 68 ≤ y ≤ 70

Similar to he first statement, in the second statement, we have;

410 ≤ x ≤ 450

If the inflated pressure is denoted by z, then we have;

0.6 ≤ x ≤ 1.1

Like in the first statement, the compound inequality can be represented as;

410 ≤ x ≤ 450 AND 0.6 ≤ x ≤ 1.1

Following are the failure pressures, in kPa, for five panels constructed with 6d smooth shank nails. These data are consistent with means and standard deviations presented in the article. 3.32 2.53 3.45 2.38 3.01 Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean failure pressure for this type of roof panel.

Answers

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval  is   [tex] 2.354 <   3.526 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The sample size is  n =  5

    The sample  data is  3.32  2.53  3.45  2.38   3.01

Gnerally the sample mean is mathematically represented as

      [tex]\= x  =  \frac{\sum x_i}{n}[/tex]

=>    [tex]\= x  =  \frac{3.32+  2.53 +3.45+ 2.38+ 3.01 }{5}[/tex]

=>    [tex]\= x  =   2.94 [/tex]

Generally the standard deviation is mathematically represented as

     [tex]s =  \sqrt{ \frac{ \sum (x_i -  \= x )^2}{n-1} }[/tex]

=> [tex]s =  \sqrt{ \frac{  ( 3.32 -  2.94  )^2 +  ( 2.53 -  2.94  )^2+ \cdots + ( 3.01  -  2.94  )^2}{5-1} }[/tex]

=>  [tex]s =   0.472 [/tex]  

Generally the degree of freedom is mathematically represented  as

    [tex]df =  n-1[/tex]

=>  [tex]df =  5-1[/tex]

=>  [tex]df =  4 [/tex]    

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is  

      [tex]\alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%[/tex]

=>   [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Generally from the t distribution table the critical value  of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] at a degree of freedom of   [tex]df =  4 [/tex]  is  

   [tex]t_{\frac{\alpha }{2} ,df } =  2.77[/tex]

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

      [tex]E =t_{\frac{\alpha }{2} ,df }  *  \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

        [tex]E = 2.77 *  \frac{0.472 }{\sqrt{5} }[/tex]

        [tex]E = 0.586 [/tex]

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as  

      [tex]\= x -E <  \mu <  \=x  +E[/tex]

     [tex]2.94-0.586 <  2.94  + 0.586[/tex]

     [tex] 2.354 <   3.526 [/tex]

The inside of an oven is set to rise to a temperature of 298°F. So far it has risen 76% If this amount.

Which would be the best way to estimate the number of degrees Fahrenheit the inside of the oven has risen so far?

Answers

Answer:

226.48°F

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature of the oven = 298°F

if it has risen 76% of this amount so far, the number of degrees Fahrenheit the inside of the oven has risen so far can be expresses as:

= 76% of 298

= 76/100 * 298

= (76*298)/100

= 0.76*298

= 226.48°F

The temperature inside the oven so far is 226.48°F
