Step-by-step explanation:
Vertex of a quadratic function:
Suppose we have a quadratic function in the following format:
[tex]f(x) = ax^{2} + bx + c[/tex]
It's vertex is the point [tex](x_{v}, y_{v})[/tex]
In which
[tex]x_{v} = -\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]
[tex]y_{v} = -\frac{\Delta}{4a}[/tex]
Where
[tex]\Delta = b^2-4ac[/tex]
If a<0, the vertex is a maximum point, that is, the maximum value happens at [tex]x_{v}[/tex], and it's value is [tex]y_{v}[/tex].
In this question:
Quadratic equation with [tex]a = -12, b = 2160, c = -59000[/tex]
To maximize the monthly rental profit, how many units should be rented out?
This is the x-value of the vertex, so:
[tex]x_{v} = -\frac{b}{2a} = -\frac{2160}{2(-12)} = \frac{2160}{24} = 90[/tex]
To maximize the monthly rental profit, 90 units should be rented out.
What is the maximum monthly profit realizable?
This is p(90). So
[tex]p(90) = -12(90)^2 + 2160(90) - 59000 = 38200[/tex]
The maximum monthly profit realizable is $38,200.

Dogsled drivers, known as mushers, use several different breeds of dogs to pull their sleds. One proponent of Siberian Huskies believes that sleds pulled by Siberian Huskies are faster than sleds pulled by other breeds. He times 47 teams of Siberian Huskies on a particular short course, and they have a mean time of 5.2 minutes. The mean time on the same course for 39 teams of other breeds of sled dogs is 5.5 minutes. Assume that the times on this course have a population standard deviation of 1.4 minutes for teams of Siberian Huskies and 1.1 minutes for teams of other breeds of sled dogs. Let Population 1 be sleds pulled by Siberian Huskies and let Population 2 be sleds pulled by other breeds. Step 1 of 2 : Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean times on this course for teams of Siberian Huskies and teams of other breeds of sled dogs
Answers
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean times on this course for teams of Siberian Huskies and teams of other breeds of sled dogs is (-0.8276, 0.2276).
Step-by-step explanation:
Before building the confidence interval, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
Subtraction between normal variables:
When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.
Siberian Huskies:
Sample of 47, mean of 5.2 minutes, standard deviation of 1.4. So
[tex]\mu_1 = 5.2[/tex]
[tex]s_1 = \frac{1.4}{\sqrt{47}} = 0.2042[/tex]
Others:
Sample of 39, mean of 5.5 minutes, standard deviation of 1.1. So
[tex]\mu_2 = 5.5[/tex]
[tex]s_2 = \frac{1.1}{\sqrt{39}} = 0.1761[/tex]
Distribution of the difference:
[tex]\mu = \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 5.2 - 5.5 = -0.3[/tex]
[tex]s = \sqrt{s_1^2+s_2^2} = \sqrt{0.2042^2+0.1761^2} = 0.2692[/tex]
Confidence interval:
We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]
Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].
That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.
Now, find the margin of error M as such
[tex]M = zs[/tex]
In which s is the standard error. So
[tex]M = 1.96(0.2692) = 0.5276[/tex]
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is -0.3 - 0.5276 = -0.8276.
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is -0.3 + 0.5276 = 0.2276
The 95% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean times on this course for teams of Siberian Huskies and teams of other breeds of sled dogs is (-0.8276, 0.2276).

A rocket is launched at t = 0 seconds. Its height, in meters above sea-level, is given by the equation
h = -4.9t2 + 112t + 395.
At what time does the rocket hit the ground? The rocket hits the ground after how many seconds
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find out how long it takes for the rocket to hit the ground, we only need set that position equation equal to 0 (that's how high something is off the ground when it is sitting ON the ground) and factor to solve for t:
[tex]0=-4.9t^2+112t+395[/tex]
Factor that however you are factoring in class to get
t = -3.1 seconds and t = 25.9 seconds.
Since time can NEVER be negative, it takes the rocket approximately 26 seconds to hit the ground.

You are dealt two cards successively without replacement from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. Find the probability that the first card is a two and the second card is a ten.
Answers
Answer:
[tex]\frac{4}{52} \times \frac{4}{51} = \frac{16}{2652} = 0.00603 = 0.603\%[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 52 cards in a standard deck, and there are 4 suits for each card. Therefore there are 4 twos and 4 tens.
At first we have 52 cards to choose from, and we need to get 1 of the 4 twos, therefore the probability is just
[tex]\frac{4}{52}[/tex]
After we've chosen a two, we need to choose one of the 4 tens. But remember that we're now choosing out of a deck of just 51 cards, since one card was removed. Therefore the probability is
[tex]\frac{4}{51}[/tex]
Now to get the total probability we need to multiply the two probabilities together
[tex]\frac{4}{52} \times \frac{4}{51} = \frac{16}{2652} = 0.00603 = 0.603\%[/tex]
Nancy left a bin outside in her garden to collect rain water. She notices the 1/2 gallon fills 2/3 of the bin. Write and solve an equation to find the amount of water that will fill the entire bin. Show your work. Explain your answer in words.
Answers
Here we want to solve a question involving fractions, we will find that:
3/4 gallon fils the complete bin.
Ok, so we know that 1/2 gallon of water, fills 2/3 of the bin.
We want to find the total amount of water that would fill the entire bin.
So we could write an equation like:
amount of water = amount of the bin that it fills.
Then, using the above information, we have:
1/2 gal = 2/3 of a bin
Now we want to get at 1 on the right side, this would mean "1 bin"
Then we multiply both sides by (3/2)
(3/2)*(1/2) gal = (3/2)*(2/3) of a bin
3/4 gal = 1 bin
From this, we can conclude that (3/4) gallons of water would fill the complete bin.
If you want to learn more about algebra, you can read:
https://brainly.com/question/4837080
x = 0,75 gallons or x = 3/4 gallons The volume of the bin
The volume of the bin is: In terms of a fraction
1 = 3/3 or any unitary fraction 5/5 7/7 9/9
We will take 3/3 since we have the information that 2/3 of the volume of the bin was filled with 2/3 of a gallon
If 2/3 of the volume of the bin was filled with 1/2 gallon then we make a rule of three according to:
If 0,5 gal. fill 2/3 of the volume of the bin then
x gal fill 3/3 ( the volume of the bin)
solving
0,5 (gal) * 3/3 = (2/3)*x ( The equation)
0,5*3 = 2*x
x = (0,5*3)/2
x = 0,75 gallons or x = 3/4 gallons
A store is having a sale on chocolate chips and walnuts. For 8 pounds of chocolate chips and 3 pounds of walnuts, the total cost is $34. For 2 pounds of chocolate chips and 5 pounds of walnuts, the total cost is $17. Find the cost for each pound of chocolate chips and each pound of walnuts.
Answers
Answer:
chocolate chips are $2.00 per pound.
nd walnuts must be $3.50 per pound.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the price of walnuts and y the price of chocolate chips.
2x + 5y = 17 (i)
8x + 3y = 34 (ii)
Multiply (i) by 4 to get
8x + 20y = 68
Subtract (ii) to get
17y = 34
Dividing by 17, we see that chocolate chips are $2.00 per pound.
Substituting y=2 in (i) or (ii), walnuts must be $3.50 per pound.

n = sample size = 33
Using calculator :
The sample mean, xbar = 15.41
The sample standard deviation, s = 0.419
Test statistic = (15.41 - 15.70) ÷ (0.419/√(33))
Test statistic = - 3.976

Mean $4,500 ($13,500/3) $166,667 ($500,000/3)
Standard Deviation = Square root of $166,667 = 408.2
Margin of error = (z-score * standard deviation)/n

Answers
Answer:
a) Yes , Cause The Expected Returns of stock A is Higher than that of B
b) No, Cause The Expected Returns of stock B is Lower than that of A
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Beta A \beta A=1.4
Beta B \beta B=0.8
Stock 1 Growth rates of earnings and dividends G_1=10\%
Stock 2 Growth rates of earnings and dividends G_2=5\%
Stock 1 Dividend yields D_1=5\%
Stock 2 Dividend yields D_2=7\%
Generally the equation for Expected Returns is mathematically given by
Expected Returns =Growth rates+Dividend yields
For Stock 1
Expected\ Returns =G_1+D_1
Expected\ Returns =5%+10%
Expected\ Returns =15%
For Stock 2
Expected\ Returns =G_2+D_2
Expected\ Returns =7%+5%
Expected\ Returns =12%
Therefore
a) Yes , Cause The Expected Returns of stock A is Higher than that of B
b) No, Cause The Expected Returns of stock B is Lower than that of A

use undetermined coefficient to determine the solution of:y"-3y'+2y=2x+ex+2xex+4e3x
Answers
First check the characteristic solution: the characteristic equation for this DE is
r ² - 3r + 2 = (r - 2) (r - 1) = 0
with roots r = 2 and r = 1, so the characteristic solution is
y (char.) = C₁ exp(2x) + C₂ exp(x)
For the ansatz particular solution, we might first try
y (part.) = (ax + b) + (cx + d) exp(x) + e exp(3x)
where ax + b corresponds to the 2x term on the right side, (cx + d) exp(x) corresponds to (1 + 2x) exp(x), and e exp(3x) corresponds to 4 exp(3x).
However, exp(x) is already accounted for in the characteristic solution, we multiply the second group by x :
y (part.) = (ax + b) + (cx ² + dx) exp(x) + e exp(3x)
Now take the derivatives of y (part.), substitute them into the DE, and solve for the coefficients.
y' (part.) = a + (2cx + d) exp(x) + (cx ² + dx) exp(x) + 3e exp(3x)
… = a + (cx ² + (2c + d)x + d) exp(x) + 3e exp(3x)
y'' (part.) = (2cx + 2c + d) exp(x) + (cx ² + (2c + d)x + d) exp(x) + 9e exp(3x)
… = (cx ² + (4c + d)x + 2c + 2d) exp(x) + 9e exp(3x)
Substituting every relevant expression and simplifying reduces the equation to
(cx ² + (4c + d)x + 2c + 2d) exp(x) + 9e exp(3x)
… - 3 [a + (cx ² + (2c + d)x + d) exp(x) + 3e exp(3x)]
… +2 [(ax + b) + (cx ² + dx) exp(x) + e exp(3x)]
= 2x + (1 + 2x) exp(x) + 4 exp(3x)
… … …
2ax - 3a + 2b + (-2cx + 2c - d) exp(x) + 2e exp(3x)
= 2x + (1 + 2x) exp(x) + 4 exp(3x)
Then, equating coefficients of corresponding terms on both sides, we have the system of equations,
x : 2a = 2
1 : -3a + 2b = 0
exp(x) : 2c - d = 1
x exp(x) : -2c = 2
exp(3x) : 2e = 4
Solving the system gives
a = 1, b = 3/2, c = -1, d = -3, e = 2
Then the general solution to the DE is
y(x) = C₁ exp(2x) + C₂ exp(x) + x + 3/2 - (x ² + 3x) exp(x) + 2 exp(3x)

Answer:
34.6574 years34 years, 239.94 daysStep-by-step explanation:
For continuous compounding the "rule of 69" applies. That is the doubling time can be found from ...
t = 69.3147/r . . . . where r is the interest rate in percent.
Here, r=2, so ...
t = 69.3147/2 = 34.6574 . . . years
That's 34 years and 240 days.
Which number line represents the solutions to 1-2x = 4?
Answers
Answer:
The third choice down
Step-by-step explanation:
|-2x| = 4
There are two solutions, one positive and one negative
-2x = 4 and -2x = -4
Divide by -2
-2x/-2 = 4/-2 -2x/-2 = -4/-2
x = -2 and x = 2
Most of the heat loss for outdoor swimming pools is due to surface
evaporation. So, the greater the area of the surface of the pool, the greater
the heat loss. For a given perimeter, which surface shape would be more
efficient at retaining heat: a circle or a rectangle? Justify your answer.
Answers
Answer:
rectangle
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of 20 feet
rectangle (square is technically a rectangle):
sides 5 and 5
5*5 = 25ft²
Circle:
20/(2π) = 3.18309...
3.1809...²π = 31.831ft²
Max area of rectangle (i.e. square) has a smaller area than a circle.
