Answer:
(x - 10)(x + 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
We are looking for two things that multiply together to give us
x^2 - 10x - 20
These things are binomials, such as (x+2) or (x-7) or (x+8) or (x-5)
We know the first term in the binomial has to be x, because x times x is x^2.
And then we are looking for two numbers that multiply to -20 but also add up to -8.
-10 and 2 multiply to make -20 and add up to -8 so we pick the answer (x-10)(x+2)
Answer:
Option C
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 8x - 20
x² - (10x - 2x) - 20
x² - 10x + 2x - 20
x(x - 10) + 2(x - 10)
(x - 10)(x + 2)
Hence
Option C is correct
A baseball team plays in a stadium that holds 58000 spectators. With the ticket price at $12 the average attendance has been 25000. When the price dropped to $9, the average attendance rose to 29000. Assume that attendance is linearly related to ticket price.
Required:
a. Find the demand function p(x), where x is the number of the spectators.
b. How should ticket prices be set to maximize revenue?
Answer:
We need to assume that the relationship is linear.
a) Remember that a linear relation is written as:
y = a*x + b
then we will have:
p(x) = a*x + b
where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
If we know that the line passes through the points (a, b) and (c, d), then the slope can be written as:
y = (d - b)/(c - a)
In this case, we know that:
if the ticket has a price of $12, the average attendance is 25,000
Then we can define this with the point:
(25,000 , $12)
We also know that when the price is $9, the attendance is 29,000
This can be represented with the point:
(29,000, $9)
Then we can find the slope as:
a = ($9 - $12)/(29,000 - 25,000) = -$3/4,000 = -$0.00075
Then the equation is something like:
y = (-$0.00075)*x + b
to find the value of b we can use one of the known points.
For example, the point (25,000 , $12) means that when x = 25,000, the price is $12
then:
$12 = (-$0.00075)*25,000 + b
$12 = -$18.75 + b
$12 + $18.75 = b
$30.75 = b
Then the equation is:
p(x) = (-$0.00075)*x + $30.75
b) We want to find the ticket price such that it maximizes the revenue.
The revenue will be equal to the price per ticket, p(x) times the total attendance, x.
Then the revenue can be written as:
r(x) = x*p(x) = x*( (-$0.00075)*x + $30.75 )
r(x) = (-$0.00075)*x^2 + $30.75*x
So we want to find the maximum revenue.
Notice that this is a quadratic equation with a negative leading coefficient, thus the maximum will be at the vertex.
Remember that for an equation like:
y = a*x^2 + bx + c
the x-value of the vertex is:
x = -b/2a
Then in our case, the x-value will be:
x = -$30.75/(2*(-$0.00075)) = 20,500
Then the revenue is maximized for x = 20,500
And the price for this x-vale is given by:
p( 20,500) = (-$0.00075)*20,500 + $30.75 = $15.375
which should be rounded to $15.38

When f(x) =-3 what is x?
Answer:
D or -1
Step-by-step explanation:
It says that f(x) is equal to -3.
f(x) is the same as y-values, and x is the same as the x-values on a coordinate grid because x is the independent variable, meaning y is the dependent variable, where f(x) depends on the value of x to find y.
So if y is -3, it can be found on the graph on the 4th line, so x = -1 when y = -3
If a house is worth $125,000 and depreciates by 7.5% per year, how much is it worth in two years

Answer:
I. C = 266 textbooks.
II. S = 207 textbooks.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the chemistry textbook be C.
Let the sociology textbook be S.
Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;
C + S = 473 ..... equation 1
S = C - 59 ..... equation 2
Substituting eqn 2 into eqn 1, we have;
C + C - 59 = 473
2C - 59 = 473
2C = 473 + 59
2C = 532
C = 532/2
C = 266 textbooks.
Next, we would determine the value of S;
S = C - 59
S = 266 - 59
S = 207 textbooks.
Check:
C + S = 473
266 + 207 = 473
473 = 473

Your credit card has a balance of $3300 and an annual interest rate of 14%. You decided to pay off the balance over two years. If there are no further purchases charged to the card, you must pay $158.40 each month, and you will pay a total interest of $501.60. Assume you decided to pay off the balance over one year rather than two. How much more must you pay each month and how much less will you pay in total interest?
9514 1404 393
Answer:
$137.90 more each month$246.00 less total interestStep-by-step explanation:
The amortization formula is ...
A = P(r/12)/(1 -(1 +r/12)^(-12t))
for the monthly payment on principal P at annual rate r for t years. Here, we have P=3300, r = 0.14, and t=1, so the monthly payment is ...
A = $3300(0.14/12)/(1 -(1 +0.14/12)^-12) ≈ $296.30
The payment of $296.30 is ...
$295.30 -158.40 = $137.90 . . . more each month
The total amount paid is 12×$296.30 = $3555.60, so 255.60 in interest. This amount is ...
$501.60 -255.60 = $246.00 . . . less total interest

If f(x) is an exponential function where f(-1.5) 26 and
f(5.5) = 7, then find the value of f(10), to the nearest hundredth.
Answer:
[tex]f(10) = 1147.25[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]f(-1.5) = 26[/tex]
[tex]f(5.5) = 7[/tex]
Required
f(10)
An exponential function is represented as:
[tex]f(x) = ab^x[/tex]
[tex]f(-1.5) = 26[/tex] impleies that:
[tex]26 = ab^{-1.5}[/tex] --- (1)
[tex]f(5.5) = 7[/tex] implies that
[tex]7 = ab^{5.5}[/tex] --- (2)
Divide (2) by (1)
[tex]26/7 = ab^{-1.5}/ab^{5.5}[/tex]
[tex]3.71429 = b^{-1.5+5.5}[/tex]
[tex]3.71429 = b^{4}[/tex]
Take 4th root
[tex]b = 1.39[/tex]
Substitute [tex]b = 1.39[/tex] in [tex]26 = ab^{-1.5}[/tex]
[tex]26 = a * 1.39^{-1.5}[/tex]
[tex]26 = a * 0.6102[/tex]
Solve for (a)
[tex]a = 26/0.6102[/tex]
[tex]a = 42.61[/tex]
f(10) is calculated as:
[tex]f(10) = ab^{10}[/tex]
[tex]f(10) = 42.61 * 1.39^{10}[/tex]
[tex]f(10) = 1147.25[/tex]
solve for x : 2(x^2+9)-4=0
Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply 2 and get 2x^2+18-4=0
combine like terms
2x^2+14=0
subtract 14
2x^2=-14
there can't be a square root of a negative number so there's no solution
Answer:
x = ±i sqrt(7)
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x^2+9)-4=0
Add 4 to each side
2(x^2+9)-4+4=0+4
2(x^2+9)=4
Divide by 2
2(x^2+9)/2=4/2
(x^2+9)=2
Subtract 9 from each side
x^2 +9-9 = 2-9
x^2 = -7
Taking the square root of each side
sqrt(x^2) =sqrt(-7)
x = sqrt(-1 *7)
x = ±i sqrt(7)

K.Brew sells a wide variety of outdoor equipment and clothing. The company sells both through mail order and via the internet. Random samples of sales receipts were studied for mail-order sales and internet sales, with the total purchase being recorded for each sale. A random sample of 18 sales receipts for mail-order sales results in a mean sale amount of $81.90 with a standard deviation of $22.25. A random sample of 8 sales receipts for internet sales results in a mean sale amount of $88.30 with a standard deviation of $23.25. Using this data, find the 90% confidence interval for the true mean difference between the mean amount of mail-order purchases and the mean amount of internet purchases. Assume that the population variances are not equal and that the two populations are normally distributed. Construct the 98% confidence interval.

A well-known brokerage firm executive claimed that 60% of investors are currently confident of meeting their investment goals. An XYZ Investor Optimism Survey, conducted over a two week period, found that in a sample of 100 people, 69% of them said they are confident of meeting their goals. Test the claim that the proportion of people who are confident is larger than 60% at the 0.01 significance level.
The null and alternative hypothesis would be:________
a. H0:μ=0.6H0:μ=0.6
H1:μ≠0.6H1:μ≠0.6
b. H0:μ=0.6H0:μ=0.6
H1:μ<0.6H1:μ<0.6
c. H0:μ=0.6H0:μ=0.6
H1:μ>0.6H1:μ>0.6
d. H0:p=0.6H0:p=0.6
H1:p≠0.6H1:p≠0.6
e. H0:p=0.6H0:p=0.6
H1:p>0.6H1:p>0.6
f. H0:p=0.6H0:p=0.6
H1:p<0.6H1:p<0.6
The test is:________
a. two-tailed
b. left-tailed
c. right-tailed
The test statistic is:_______ (to 3 decimals)
The p-value is:_______ (to 4 decimals)
Based on this we:________
a. Fail to reject the null hypothesis
b. Reject the null hypothesis
We are testing a hypothesis. So, first we identify the null and the alternative hypothesis, then we find the test statistic, and with the test statistic, the p-value is found.
Null and alternative hypothesis:
Claim the the proportion is of 60%, thus, the null hypothesis is:
[tex]H_0: p = 0.6[/tex]
Test if the proportion is greater than 60%, thus, the alternative hypothesis is:
[tex]H_1: p > 0.6[/tex]
And the answer to the first question is given by option c.
Classification:
We are testing if the proportion is greater than a value, so it is a right-tailed test.
Test statistic:
[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.
0.6 is tested at the null hypothesis:
This means that [tex]\mu = 0.6, \sigma = \sqrt{0.4*0.6}[/tex]
Survey, conducted over a two week period, found that in a sample of 100 people, 69% of them said they are confident of meeting their goals.
This means that [tex]n = 100, X = 0.69[/tex]
Value of the test statistic:
[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
[tex]z = \frac{0.69 - 0.6}{\frac{\sqrt{0.4*0.6}}{\sqrt{100}}}[/tex]
[tex]z = 1.837[/tex]
The test statistic is z = 1.837.
p-value:
The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion above 0.69, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z = 1.837.
Looking at the z-table, z = 1.837 has a p-value of 0.9669.
1 - 0.9669 = 0.0331
The p-value is 0.0331.
Decision:
The p-value of the test is 0.0331 > 0.01, and thus:
a. Fail to reject the null hypothesis

find the exact value of tan(165°) using a difference of two angles
Answer: [tex]-2+\sqrt{3}[/tex]
=========================================================
Work Shown:
Apply the following trig identity
[tex]\tan(A - B) = \frac{\tan(A)-\tan(B)}{1+\tan(A)*\tan(B)}\\\\\tan(225 - 60) = \frac{\tan(225)-\tan(60)}{1+\tan(225)*\tan(60)}\\\\\tan(165) = \frac{1-\sqrt{3}}{1+1*\sqrt{3}}\\\\\tan(165) = \frac{1-\sqrt{3}}{1+\sqrt{3}}\\\\[/tex]
Now let's rationalize the denominator
[tex]\tan(165) = \frac{1-\sqrt{3}}{1+\sqrt{3}}\\\\\tan(165) = \frac{(1-\sqrt{3})(1-\sqrt{3})}{(1+\sqrt{3})(1-\sqrt{3})}\\\\\tan(165) = \frac{(1-\sqrt{3})^2}{(1)^2-(\sqrt{3})^2}\\\\\tan(165) = \frac{(1)^2-2*1*\sqrt{3}+(\sqrt{3})^2}{(1)^2-(\sqrt{3})^2}\\\\\tan(165) = \frac{1-2\sqrt{3}+3}{1-3}\\\\\tan(165) = \frac{4-2\sqrt{3}}{-2}\\\\\tan(165) = -2+\sqrt{3}\\\\[/tex]
----------------------
As confirmation, you can use the idea that if x = y, then x-y = 0. We'll have x = tan(165) and y = -2+sqrt(3). When computing x-y, your calculator should get fairly close to 0, if not get 0 itself.
Or you can note how
[tex]\tan(165) \approx -0.267949\\\\-2+\sqrt{3} \approx -0.267949[/tex]
which helps us see that they are the same thing.
Further confirmation comes from WolframAlpha (see attached image). They decided to write the answer as [tex]\sqrt{3}-2[/tex] but it's the same as above.
