Gail paid a total of $12,000 for stock that was $6 per share. If she sold all her shares for $18,000, how much profit on each share did she make?
A
$9
B
$3
С.
S2000
D
$6.000
Answer:
$3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Total Cost Price: $12,000
Unit Cost Price= $6
Total Selling Price = $18,000
Required
Determine the profit on each share
First, we need to determine the units of share bought;
Units = Total cost price / Unit Cost Price
[tex]Units = \frac{\$12000}{\$6}[/tex]
[tex]Units = 2000[/tex]
Next is to determine the selling price of each share; This is calculated as follows;
Unit Selling Price = Total Selling Price / Units Sold
[tex]Unit\ Selling\ Price = \frac{\$18000}{\$2000}[/tex]
[tex]Unit\ Selling\ Price = \$9[/tex]
The profit is the difference between the unit cost price and unit selling price
[tex]Profit = Unit\ Selling\ Price - Unit\ Cost\ Price[/tex]
[tex]Profit = \$9 - \$6[/tex]
[tex]Profit = \$3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:
utilise the formula a+(n-1)d
a is the first number while d is common difference
Answer:
22
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the formular, Un = a + (n - 1)d
Where n = 10; a = -23; d = 5
U10 = -23 + (9)* 5
U10 = -23 + 45 = 22
A regular polygon inscribed in a circle can be used to derive the formula for the area of a circle. The polygon area can be expressed in terms of the area of a triangle. Let s be the side length of the polygon, let r be the hypotenuse of the right triangle, let h be the height of the triangle, and let n be the number of sides of the regular polygon. polygon area = n(12sh) Which statement is true? As h increases, s approaches r so that rh approaches r². As r increases, h approaches r so that rh approaches r². As s increases, h approaches r so that rh approaches r². As n increases, h approaches r so that rh approaches r².
Answer:
Option (D)
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula to get the area of a regular polygon in a circle will be,
Area = [tex]n[\frac{1}{2}\times (\text{Base})\times (\text{Height})][/tex]
= [tex]n[\frac{1}{2}\times (\text{s})\times (\text{h})][/tex]
Here 'n' is the number of sides.
If n increases, h approaches r so that 'rh' approaches r².
In other words, if the number of sides of the polygon gets increased, area of the polygon approaches the area of the circle.
Therefore, Option (4) will be the answer.
In this exercise it is necessary to have knowledge about polygons, so we have to:
Letter D
Then using the formula for the area of a regular polygon we find that:
[tex]A=n(1/2*B*H)\\=n(1/2*S*H)[/tex]
So from this way we were not able to identify the option that best corresponds to this alternative.

A machine used to fill gallon-sized paint cans is regulated so that the amount of paint dispensed has a mean of ounces and a standard deviation of ounce. You randomly select cans and carefully measure the contents. The sample mean of the cans is ounces. Does the machine need to be reset? Explain your reasoning. ▼ Yes No , it is ▼ very unlikely likely that you would have randomly sampled cans with a mean equal to ounces, because it ▼ lies does not lie within the range of a usual event, namely within ▼ 1 standard deviation 2 standard deviations 3 standard deviations of the mean of the sample means.
Complete question is;
A machine used to fill gallon-sized paint cans is regulated so that the amount of paint dispensed has a mean of 128 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.20 ounce. You randomly select 35 cans and carefully measure the contents. The sample mean of the cans is 127.9 ounces. Does the machine need to be? reset? Explain your reasoning.
(yes/no)?, it is (very unlikely/ likely) that you would have randomly sampled 35 cans with a mean equal to 127.9 ?ounces, because it (lies/ does not lie) within the range of a usual? event, namely within (1 standard deviation, 2 standard deviations 3 standard deviations) of the mean of the sample means.
Answer:
Yes, we should reset the machine because it is unusual to have a mean equal to 127.9 from a random sample of 35 as the mean of 127.9 doesn't fall within range of a usual event with 2 standard deviations of the mean of the sample means.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
Mean: μ = 128
Standard deviation; σ = 0.2
n = 35
Now, formula for standard error of mean is given as;
se = σ/√n
se = 0.2/√35
se = 0.0338
Normally, the range of values should be within 2 standard deviations of mean. In this case, normal range of values will be;
μ ± 2se = 128 ± 0.0338
This gives; 127.9662, 128.0338
So, Yes, we should reset the machine because it is unusual to have a mean equal to 127.9 from a random sample of 35 as the mean of 127.9 doesn't fall within range of a usual event with 2 standard deviations of the mean of the sample means.

[tex]10[/tex] divisions between $389$ and $390$ so each division is $\frac{390-389}{10}=0.1$
A is 8 division from $389$, so, A is $389+8\times 0.1=389.8$
similarly, C is one division behind $389$ so it is $389-1\times 0.1=388.9$
and B is $390.3$
Suppose that a sample mean is .29 with a lower bound of a confidence interval of .24. What is the upper bound of the confidence interval?
Answer:
The upper bound of the confidence interval is 0.34
Step-by-step explanation:
Here in this question, we want to calculate the upper bound of the confidence interval.
We start by calculating the margin of error.
Mathematically, the margin of error = 0.29 -0.24 = 0.05
So to get the upper bound of the confidence interval, we simply add this margin of error to the mean
That would be 0.05 + 0.29 = 0.34
Find the principal invested if $495 interest was earned in 3 years at an interest rate of 6%.
Answer: $2750
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula to calculate interest : I = Prt , where P = Principal amount , r = rate of interest ( in decimal) , t= time.
Given: I= $495
t= 3 years
r= 6% = 0.06
Then, according to the above formula:
[tex]495 = P (0.06\times3)\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=\dfrac{495}{0.18}\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=2750[/tex]
Hence, the principal invested = $2750
Findℒ{f(t)}by first using a trigonometric identity. (Write your answer as a function of s.)f(t) = 12 cost −π6
Answer:
[tex]L(f(t)) = \dfrac{6}{S^2+1} [\sqrt{3} \ S +1 ][/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
[tex]f(t) = 12 cos (t- \dfrac{\pi}{6})[/tex]
recall that:
cos (A-B) = cos AcosB + sin A sin B
∴
[tex]f(t) = 12 [cos\ t \ cos \dfrac{\pi}{6}+ sin \ t \ sin \dfrac{\pi}{6}][/tex]
[tex]f(t) = 12 [cos \ t \ \dfrac{3}{2}+ sin \ t \ sin \dfrac{1}{2}][/tex]
[tex]f(t) = 6 \sqrt{3} \ cos \ (t) + 6 \ sin \ (t)[/tex]
[tex]L(f(t)) = L ( 6 \sqrt{3} \ cos \ (t) + 6 \ sin \ (t) ][/tex]
[tex]L(f(t)) = 6 \sqrt{3} \ L [cos \ (t) ] + 6\ L [ sin \ (t) ][/tex]
[tex]L(f(t)) = 6 \sqrt{3} \dfrac{S}{S^2 + 1^2}+ 6 \dfrac{1}{S^2 +1^2}[/tex]
[tex]L(f(t)) = \dfrac{6 \sqrt{3} +6 }{S^2+1}[/tex]
[tex]L(f(t)) = \dfrac{6( \sqrt{3} \ S +1 }{S^2+1}[/tex]
[tex]L(f(t)) = \dfrac{6}{S^2+1} [\sqrt{3} \ S +1 ][/tex]
You are ordering two pizzas. A pizza can be small, medium, large, or extra large, with any combination of 8 possible toppings (getting no toppings is allowed, as is getting all 8). How many possibilities are there for your two pizzas
Answer:
1048576
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Pizza order :
Size = small, medium, large, or extra large = 4 possible sizes
Toppings = any combination of 8 possible toppings (getting no toppings is allowed, as is getting all 8).
Combination of Toppings = 2^8
Four different sizes of pizza = 4
Number of possibilities in ordering for a single pizza :
(4 * 2^8) = 4 * 256 = 1024
Number of possibilities in ordering two pizzas :
(4 * 2^8)^2
(2^2 * 2^8)^2
From indices :
[2^(2+8)]^2
[2^(10)]^2
2^(10*2)
2^20
= 1048576
At a local high school, the student population is growing at 12% a year. If the original population was 242 students, how long will it take the population to reach 300 students? Round to the nearest tenth of a year.
Answer: 2 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential growth function is given by :-
[tex]y=A(1+r)^x[/tex] (i)
, where A = initial value , r = rate of growth and x= time period.
As per given ,
A= 242
r= 12% = 0.12
To find : t when y= 300.
Put all the values in (i)
[tex]300=242(1+0.12)^x\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{300}{242}=(1.12)^x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.23967=(1.12)^x[/tex]
Taking log on both sides , we get
[tex]\log (1.2396) = t \log (1.12)\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.09328=t(0.049218)\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{0.09328}{0.049218}=\approx2[/tex]
hence, it will take 2 years.

Find a cubic polynomial with integer coefficients that has $\sqrt[3]{2} + \sqrt[3]{4}$ as a root.
Find the powers [tex]a=\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}[/tex]
$a^{2}=5+2 \sqrt{6}$
$a^{3}=11 \sqrt{2}+9 \sqrt{3}$
The cubic term gives us a clue, we can use a linear combination to eliminate the root 3 term $a^{3}-9 a=2 \sqrt{2}$ Square $\left(a^{3}-9 a\right)^{2}=8$ which gives one solution. Expand we have $a^{6}-18 a^{4}-81 a^{2}=8$ Hence the polynomial $x^{6}-18 x^{4}-81 x^{2}-8$ will have a as a solution.
Note this is not the simplest solution as $x^{6}-18 x^{4}-81 x^{2}-8=\left(x^{2}-8\right)\left(x^{4}-10 x^{2}+1\right)$
so fits with the other answers.

Layla is going to drive from her house to City A without stopping. Layla plans to drive
at a speed of 30 miles per hour and her house is 240 miles from City A. Write an
equation for D, in terms of t, representing Layla's distance from City A t hours after
leaving her house.
Answer:
D = 240 - 30t
Step-by-step explanation:
If the equation represents her distance from City A, we need to include 240 in the equation to represent the distance to the city.
Then, we need to subtract 30t from 240 in the equation because 30t represents how far she will have traveled in t hours.
So, D = 240 - 30t is the equation that will represent Layla's distance from the city.

Question 4: Two friends are standing at opposite corners of a rectangular courtyard. The dimensions of the courtyard are 12 ft. by 25 ft. How far apart are the friends?
A)21.34 ft.
B)21.93 ft.
C)27.73 ft.
D)19.21 ft.
Answer:
Question 1 = D) Acute
Question 2 = C)3 feet
Question 3 = D) Obtuse
Question 4 = C)27.73 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1: A triangle has sides with lengths 5, 6, and 7. Is the triangle right, acute, or obtuse?
In order to be able to accurately classify that a triangle with 3 given sides is either a right , acute or obtuse angle, we use the Pythagoras Theorem
Where:
If a² + b² = c² = Right angle triangle
If a² +b² > c² = Acute triangle.
If a² +b² < c² = Obtuse triangle.
It is important to note that the length ‘‘c′′ is always the longest.
Therefore, for the above question, we have lengths
5 = a, 6 = b and c = 7
a² + b² = c²
5² + 6² = 7²
25 + 36 = 49
61 = 49
61 ≠ 49, Hence 61 > 49
Therefore, this is an Acute Triangle
Question 2: A 15-foot statue casts a 20-foot shadow. How tall is a person who casts a 4-foot-long shadow?
This is question that deals with proportion.
The formula to solve for this:
Height of the statue/ Length of the shadow of the person = Height of the person/ Length of the shadow of the person
Height of the statue = 15 feet
Length of the shadow of the person = 20 feet
Height of the person = unknown
Length of the shadow of the person = 4
15/ 20 = Height of the person/4
Cross Multiply
15 × 4 = 20 × Height of the person
Height of the person = 15 × 4/20
= 60/20
Height of the person = 3 feet
Therefore, the person is 3 feet tall.
Question 3: A triangle has sides with lengths 17, 12, and 9. Is the triangle right, acute, or obtuse?
In order to be able to accurately classify that a triangle with 3 given sides is either a right , acute or obtuse angle, we use the Pythagoras Theorem
Where:
If a² + b² = c² = Right angle triangle
If a² +b² > c² = Acute triangle.
If a² +b² < c² = Obtuse triangle.
It is important to note that the length ‘‘c′′ is always the longest.
Therefore, for the above question, we have lengths 17, 12, 9
9 = a, 12 = b and c = 17
a² + b² = c²
9² + 12² = 17²
81 + 144 = 289
225 = 289
225 ≠ 289
225 < 289
Hence, This is an Obtuse Triangle.
Question 4: Two friends are standing at opposite corners of a rectangular courtyard. The dimensions of the courtyard are 12 ft. by 25 ft. How far apart are the friends?
To calculate how far apart the two friends are we use the formula
Distance = √ ( Length² + Breadth²)
We are given dimensions: 12ft by 25ft
Length = 12ft
Breadth = 25ft
Distance = √(12ft)² + (25ft)²
Distance = √144ft²+ 625ft²
Distance = √769ft²
Distance = 27.730849248ft
Approximately ≈27.73ft
Therefore, the friends are 27.73ft apart.

The age of some lecturers are 42,54,50,54,50,42,46,46,48 and 48 calculate the mean age and standard deviation
Answer:
Mean age: 48
Standard deviation: 4
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Mean
The formula for Mean = Sum of terms/ Number of terms
Number of terms
= 42 + 54 + 50 + 54 + 50 + 42 + 46 + 46 + 48+ 48/ 10
= 480/10
= 48
The mean age is 48
b) Standard deviation
The formula for Standard deviation =
√(x - Mean)²/n
Where n = number of terms
Standard deviation =
√[(42 - 48)² + (54 - 48)² + (50 - 48)² +(54 - 48)² + (50 - 48)² +(42 - 48)² + (46 - 48)² + (46 - 48)² + (48 - 48)² + (48 - 48)² / 10]
= √-6² + 6² + 2² + 6² + 2² + -6² + -2² + -2² + 0² + 0²/10
=√36 + 36 + 4 + 36 + 4 + 36 + 4 + 4 + 0 + 0/ 10
=√160/10
= √16
= 4
The standard deviation of the ages is 4
solve this equation 4log√x - log 3x =log x^2
Answer:
[tex]x = \frac{1}{3} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
*Move terms to the left and set equal to zero:
4㏒(√x) - ㏒(3x) - ㏒(x²) = 0
*simplify each term:
㏒(x²) - ㏒(3x) - ㏒(x²)
㏒(x²÷x²) -㏒(3x)
㏒(x²÷x² / 3x)
*cancel common factor x²:
㏒([tex]\frac{1}{3x}[/tex])
*rewrite to solve for x :
10⁰ = [tex]\frac{1}{3x}[/tex]
1 = [tex]\frac{1}{3x}[/tex]
1 · x = [tex]\frac{1}{3x}[/tex] · x
1x = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
*that would be our answer, however, the convention is to exclude the "1" in front of variables so we are left with:
x = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
The cost, C, in United States Dollars ($), of cleaning up x percent of an oil spill along the Gulf Coast of the United States increases tremendously as x approaches 100. One equation for determining the cost (in millions $) is:
Complete Question
On the uploaded image is a similar question that will explain the given question
Answer:
The value of k is [tex]k = 214285.7[/tex]
The percentage of the oil that will be cleaned is [tex]x = 80.77\%[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The cost of cleaning up the spillage is [tex]C = \frac{ k x }{100 - x }[/tex] [tex]x \le x \le 100[/tex]
The cost of cleaning x = 70% of the oil is [tex]C = \$500,000[/tex]
Now at [tex]C = \$500,000[/tex] we have
[tex]\$ 500000 = \frac{ k * 70 }{100 - 70 }[/tex]
[tex]\$ 500000 = \frac{ k * 70 }{30 }[/tex]
[tex]\$ 500000 = \frac{ k * 70 }{30 }[/tex]
[tex]k = 214285.7[/tex]
Now When [tex]C = \$900,000[/tex]
[tex]x = 80.77\%[/tex]
Transform the given parametric equations into rectangular form. Then identify the conic.
Answer:
Solution : Option B
Step-by-Step Explanation:
We have the following system of equations at hand here.
{ x = 5 cot(t), y = - 3csc(t) + 4 }
Now instead of isolating the t from either equation, let's isolate cot(t) and csc(t) --- Step #1,
x = 5 cot(t) ⇒ x - 5 = cot(t),
y = - 3csc(t) + 4 ⇒ y - 4 = - 3csc(t) ⇒ y - 4 / - 3 = csc(t)
Now let's square these two equations. We know that csc²θ - cot²θ = 1, so let's subtract the equations as well. --- Step #2
( y - 4 / - 3 )² = (csc(t))²
- ( x - 5 / 1 )² = (cot(t))²
___________________
(y - 4)² / 9 - x² / 25 = 1
And as we are subtracting the two expressions, this is an example of a hyperbola. Therefore your solution is option b.

Comment on the equation
Note that we have taken the middle term to be the square of the log, rather than the log of a square. For the latter interpretation, see mberisso's answer at https://brainly.com/question/17210068
Comment on the answer refinement
We have used Newton's method iteration to refine the solutions to this equation. The solution near 1.00995 requires the initial guess be very close for that method to work properly. Fortunately, the 1.01 value shown on the graph is sufficient for the purpose.

cooks are needed to prepare for a large party. Each cook can bake either 5 Large cakes or 14 small cakes per hour . The kitchen is available for 3 hours and 29 large cakes and 260 cakes need to be baked . How many cooks are required to bake the required number of cakes during the time the kitchen is available?
it was all about equating some values
to bake the required number of cakes during the available 3-hour time period, 7 cooks are required.
Let's determine the number of cooks required to bake the required number of cakes during the available time.
We have the following information:
- Each cook can bake either 5 large cakes or 14 small cakes per hour.
- The kitchen is available for 3 hours.
- We need to bake 29 large cakes and 260 cakes in total.
First, let's calculate the number of large cakes that can be baked by one cook in 3 hours:
1 cook can bake 5 large cakes/hour × 3 hours = 15 large cakes.
Next, let's calculate the number of small cakes that can be baked by one cook in 3 hours:
1 cook can bake 14 small cakes/hour × 3 hours = 42 small cakes.
Now, let's calculate the number of large cakes that can be baked by all the cooks in 3 hours:
Total number of large cakes = Number of cooks × Large cakes per cook per 3 hours
We need to bake 29 large cakes, so:
29 = Number of cooks × 15
Number of cooks = 29 / 15 ≈ 1.93
Since we can't have a fraction of a cook, we need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, we need at least 2 cooks to bake the required number of large cakes.
Similarly, let's calculate the number of small cakes that can be baked by all the cooks in 3 hours:
Total number of small cakes = Number of cooks × Small cakes per cook per 3 hours
We need to bake 260 small cakes, so:
260 = Number of cooks × 42
Number of cooks = 260 / 42 ≈ 6.19
Again, rounding up to the nearest whole number, we need at least 7 cooks to bake the required number of small cakes.
Since we need to satisfy both requirements for large and small cakes, we choose the larger number of cooks required, which is 7 cooks.
Therefore, to bake the required number of cakes during the available 3-hour time period, 7 cooks are required.
