eric has a summer lawn mowing buisness. based on experience eric knows that p= -3x^2 + 150x -1200 models his profit, p, in dollars, where x is the amount he charges per lawn. how much does he need to charge if he wants to break even? show your work

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Eric can either charge $10 or $40 in order to break even.

Step-by-step explanation:

Eric has a summer lawn mowing business and the equation:

[tex]p=-3x^2+150x-1200[/tex]

Models his total profit p by charging x dollars per lawn.

We want to determine what price Eric needs to charge in order to break even.

The price Eric charges to break even means that his total profit will be zero. Hence, we can let p = 0 and solve for x. Thu:

[tex]0=-3x^2+150x-1200[/tex]

We can divide both sides by -3:

[tex]0=x^2-50x+400[/tex]

Factor:

[tex]0=(x-10)(x-40)[/tex]

Zero Product Property:

[tex]x-10=0\text{ or } x-40=0[/tex]

Solve for each case. Hence:

[tex]x=10\text{ or } x=40[/tex]

Therefore, Eric can either charge $10 or $40 in order to break even.

sin pi/3 __ __ pi/6 = 1/2(sin pi/2 + sin pi/6)

I think I’m just supposed to fill in the blank? (question off of a p e x) please give explanation!

Answers

Notice that

π/2 = π/3 + π/6

π/6 = π/3 - π/6

Recall the angle sum identities for sine:

sin(x + y) = sin(x) cos(y) + cos(x) sin(y)

sin(x - y) = sin(x) cos(y) - cos(x) sin(y)

By adding these together, we get

sin(x + y) + sin(x - y) = 2 sin(x) cos(y)

==>   sin(x) cos(y) = 1/2 (sin(x + y) + sin(x - y))

Now take x = π/3 and y = π/6 :

sin(π/3) cos(π/6) = 1/2 (sin(π/2) + sin(π/6))

So the blank should be filled with cos.

Answers

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation of the function is y = -a·(x - h)² + 1

The positive constants of the equation = a, and h

The points the function crosses the x-axis = 2, and 4

Where the function crosses the x-axis, y = 0, and x = 2, and 4, therefore, when x = 2, we have;

y = 0 = -a·(2 - h)² + 1

When x = 4, we have;

0 = -a·(4 - h)² + 1

-a·(2 - h)² + 1 = -a·(4 - h)² + 1

-a·(2 - h)² = -a·(4 - h)²

(2 - h)² = (4 - h)²

±(2 - h) = +#±(4 - h)

When

(2 - h) is negative, and (4 - h) is positive, but the same magnitude, we have';

-(2 - h) = +(4 - h)

2·h = 4 + 2 = 6

h = 3

0 = -a·(4 - h)² + 1 = -a·(4 - 3)² + 1 = -a + 1

Therefore, a = 1

Plans for a new shopping center call for buildings directly across the sidewalk from each other to be congruent. This computer printout shows a clothing store.

If the vertices of a home improvement store are located at (−x1,y1), (−x2,y2), (−x3,y3), and (−x4,y4), will the home improvement store be congruent to the clothing store?

Answers

Answer:

Yes, both stores will be congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

The given coordinates of the vertices of the home improvement store are;

(-x₁, y₁), (-x₂, y₂), (-x₃, y₃) and (-x₄, y₄)

The coordinates of the vertices of the clothing store are;

(x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂), (x₃, y₃) and (x₄, y₄)

Therefore, the coordinates of the vertices of the home improvement store, corresponds to the coordinates of the vertices of the image of the reflection of the clothing store across the sidewalk (which is the y-axis)

A reflection of (x, y) across the y-axis gives (-x, y)

Given that a reflection is a rigid transformation, the dimensions (lengths and angles between corresponding sides) of the home improvement store and the clothing store are equal, therefore, the home improvement store will be congruent to the clothing store.

Answer:  yes, because the home improvement store is a reflection of the clothing store.

y = -x - 1 is a line with a y-intercept of -1 and a slope of -1. All values that are less that y are below the line. Because it's less than or equal to the line is solid.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical line  is dotted at -3 and shaded to the left

x < -3

This gives us two choices left

A and C

The other line has a y intercept at -1 and is solid and shaded to the left

It is of the form

the hypotenuse of a right angled triangular field is 50ft and the legs are in the ratio 7:24, find the area of the right angled triangular field triangular field also find the cost of paving the field with brick at the rate of rs.20per square ft

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If one leg is 7x than other leg is 24x

Using Pythagoras

50² = (7x)² + (24x)²

2500 = 49x² + 576x²

2500 = 625x²

x² = 2500/625 = 4

x = +2 or -2 ; x is positive

Means 7 x = 14 and 24x = 48

The two sides are 14cm and 48cm

Test: 14² + 48² = 196 + 2304 = 2500= 50²

Ashish deposite rs 1000 every month is a recurring deposit account for period of 12 months. If the bank pays interest at a certain rate p.A. And ashish gets 12715 as the maturity value of this account at what rate of interest did he pay every month

Answers

Solution :

Given :

Principal amount, P = Rs. 1000

Time period = 12 months

The maturity value = Rs. 12,715

We know that,

[tex]$ SI = \frac{PTR}{100}$[/tex]

[tex]$SI = 1000 \times \frac{n(n+1)}{2 \times 12} \times \frac{R}{100}$[/tex]

[tex]$SI = 1000 \times \frac{12(12+1)}{2 \times 12} \times \frac{R}{100}$[/tex]

SI = 65 R

So we know,

maturity value = principal amount + SI

12715 = 1000 + 65 R

65 R = 12715 - 1000

65 R = 11715

R = 18%        

So the rate is 18%

                           

Answer:

[tex]R=11\%[/tex] p.a.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

the principal amount deposited each month, [tex]P=Rs. 1000[/tex]

amount after maturity of one year, [tex]A=Rs. 12715[/tex]

We have the formula as:

[tex]I=\frac{PR}{100}\times\frac{T(T+1)}{2\times 12}[/tex]

where:

R = rate of interest per annum

T = time in months

[tex]A-12P=\frac{PR}{100}\times\frac{T(T+1)}{2\times 12}[/tex]    [since the principal is deposited each month]

[tex]715=\frac{1000\times R}{100}\times \frac{12\times 13}{24}[/tex]

[tex]R=11\%[/tex] p.a.

a bag contains 3 red marbles, 5 yellow marbles, and 2 green marbles. what is the probability that you will select 2 green marbles in a row if you do not replace the first marble? A) 0.020 B) 0.02 C) 0.040 D) 0.200​

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

find the probability of picking the first green marble, which would be 2/10

then afterwards once the marble is removed, it would be 1/9

Multiply both 2/10 and 1/9 to get 0.022, which rounds to 0.02

Answer:

0.02

Step-by-step explanation:

3+5+2 = 10

to choose 1 green the probability is 2/10 = 1/5

if we do not replace it, then there are now 9 marbles left and only 1 green left, so 1/9

to find them both in a row, multiply

1/5 * 1/9 = 1/45 = 0.02222

Cos[tex]\displaystyle \theta_{1}=\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

consider Pythagorean theorem

[tex]\bold{Sin²\theta+Cos²\theta=1}[/tex]

Subtracting [tex]Cos²\theta[/tex]both side

[tex]\displaystyle Sin²\theta=1-Cos²\theta[/tex]

doing square root on both side we get

[tex]Sin\theta=\sqrt{1-Cos²\theta}[/tex]

[tex]Sin\theta_{1}=\sqrt{1-Cos²\theta_{1}}[/tex]

Substituting value of [tex]Cos\theta_{1}[/tex]

we get

In IVquadrant sin angle is negative

[tex]\bold{Sin\theta_{1}=-\frac{4}{5}}[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\sin(\theta_1)=-\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll use the Pythagorean Identity [tex]\cos^2(\theta)+\sin^2(\theta)=1[/tex] to solve this problem.

Subtract [tex]\cos^2(\theta)[/tex] from both sides to isolate [tex]\sin^2(\theta)[/tex]:

[tex]\sin^2(\theta)=1-\cos^2(\theta)[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\cos(\theta)=\frac{3}{5}[/tex] as given in the problem:

[tex]\sin^2(\theta_1)=1-(\frac{3}{5}^2)[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\sin^2\theta_1=1-\frac{9}{25}[/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]\sin^2\theta_1=\frac{16}{25}[/tex]

For [tex]a^2=b[/tex], we have two solutions [tex]a=\pm \sqrt{b}[/tex]:

[tex]\sin\theta_1=\pm \sqrt{\frac{16}{25}},\\\begin{cases}\sin \theta_1=\frac{4}{5},\\\sin \theta_1=\boxed{-\frac{4}{5}}\end{cases}[/tex]

Since the sine of all angles in quadrant four return a negative output, [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] is extraneous and our answer is [tex]\boxed{\sin(\theta_1)=-\frac{4}{5}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by adding the 3 to the other side (2/3x=22)

Then, you divide 2/3 to cancel it out. To do that, multiply 22 by 3/2 which equals to 33.

Answer:

2/3x - 3 = 19

We first isolate the variable and solve for x, (we get rid of any constants first in the process)

2/3x - 3 = 19 the three is the constant so we get rid of it by adding three to both sides.

2/3x - 3 = 19

+3            +3

2/3x = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expressions

y = 1/3x + 2 and the second line y = 4/3x - 5

Equating both expressions

1/3x + 2 = 4/3x - 5

1/3x - 4/3x = -5 - 2

-3/3x = -7

-x = -7

x = 7

Substitute x = 7 into any of the equations

Using y = 1/3 x + 2

y = 1/3(7) + 2

y = 7/3 + 2

y = (7+6)/3

y = 13/3

Hence the solution to the system of the equation is (7, 13/3)
