Answers

Answer 1

Horizontal asymptote of c(x) is 450.

What is Horizontal asymptote?

A horizontal asymptote is a line that guides the graph of a function for x-values but is not itself a part of the graph. "far," either "far" to the right or "far" to the left. Eventually, whether the graph is large enough or little, it may intersect.

According to the information:

Since we have given that

Cost to produce one refrigerator = $450

Fixed monthly cost = $200,000

Thus, the following formula represents the average cost to produce x refrigerators:

C(x) = (200000 + 450x)/x

Horizontal asymptote of c(x) would be

= 450x/x

= 450

Hence, Horizontal asymptote of c(x) is 450

A triangle has side lengths of (2b + 5c) centimeters, (10b + 7d) centimeters, and
(4d-3c) centimeters. Which expression represents the perimeter, in centimeters,
of the triangle?

Answers

The perimeter of the triangle can be express as follows:

12b + 11d + 2c

How to find perimeter of a triangle?

The perimeter of a figure is the sum of the whole sides of the figure.

A triangle has three sides. Therefore, the perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the three sides.

Therefore, the sides of the triangle are of lengths (2b + 5c) centimetres, (10b + 7d) centimetres, and (4d-3c) centimetres.

Hence, the perimeter of the triangle can be represented as follows:

Perimeter of the triangle = 2b + 5c + 10b + 7d + 4d - 3c

Perimeter of the triangle = 2b + 10b + 7d + 4d + 5c - 3c

Perimeter of the triangle = 12b + 11d + 2c

Therefore, the perimeter of the triangle can be express as follows:

12b + 11d + 2c

Step-by-step explanation:

to work out whether triangles are right angle you do :

square root of (5² + 12²) so it would be 25 + 144 =169 and the square root of 169 is 13 . we do this because the square root of both of the side lengths squares should make ths longer side in this case it makes 13 so it is a right angled triangled

A coin is flipped 15 times where each flip comes up either heads or tails. How many possible outcomes (a) contain exactly four tails (b) contain at least three heads?

Answers

Using the arrangements formula, it is found that:

a) There are 1365 possible outcomes that contain exactly four tails.

b) There are 1,307,674,399,889 possible outcomes that contain at least three heads.

What is the arrangements formula?

The number of possible arrangements of n elements is given by the factorial of n, that is:

[tex]A_n = n![/tex]

When there are repetitions, the number of ways is given as follows:

[tex]A_{n}^{n_1, n_2, \cdots, n_n} = \frac{n!}{n_1!n_2! \cdots n_n!}[/tex]

In which [tex]n_1, n_2, \cdots, n_n[/tex] are the numbers of repetitions.

Item a:

11 heads and 4 tails, hence:

[tex]A_{15}^{11,4} = \frac{15!}{11!4!} = 1365[/tex]

There are 1365 possible outcomes that contain exactly four tails.

Item b:

The total number is:

[tex]A_{15} = 15! = 1,307,674,400,000[/tex]

With no heads:

[tex]A_{15}^{15,0} = \frac{15!}{15!0!} = 1[/tex]

With one head:

[tex]A_{15}^{14,1} = \frac{15!}{14!1!} = 15[/tex]

With two heads:

[tex]A_{15}^{13,2} = \frac{15!}{13!2!} = 95[/tex]

Hence the number of outcomes with less than three heads is:

1 + 15 + 95 = 111

With at least three heads, the number of outcomes is:

[tex]1,307,674,400,000 - 111 = 1,307,674,399,889[/tex]

There are 1,307,674,399,889 possible outcomes that contain at least three heads.

Hank is currently reading a book that is 250 pages long. if he can read 10 pages every 15 minutes, how many hours will it take him to read the book?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is B, 2.78 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

  6 hours 15 minutes, or 6.25 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume Hank reads at a constant rate. His reading time will be proportional to the number of pages.

Proportion

We know that 15 minutes is 1/4 hour, so the proportion can be written ...

  hours/pages = (book hours)/(250 pages) = (1/4 hour)/(10 pages)

Multiplying by 250 pages gives ...

  book hours = 250(1/4 hour)/10 = 25/4 hour = 6 1/4 hour

It will take Hank 6 1/4 hours to read the book.

If they work together, they need 15/8 hours to assemble one shelving unit.

What does work mean in math?

In summary, work is done when a force acts upon an object to cause a displacement. Three quantities must be known in order to calculate the amount of work. Those three quantities are force, displacement and the angle between the force and the displacement.

According to tittle, we know worker A can  assemble a shelving unit in 5 hours , which means worker A can finish 1/5 of work in 1 hour . And worker B can finish 1/3 of work in 1 hour.

If A & B work together , they will spend the same time t to assemble only one shelving .

That means,                  1/5t + 1/3 t = 1                         (equation)

1/5 t is worker A's workload during time t , 1/3 t is worker B workload.

So,   1/5 t + 1/3t = 1  is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

If they want you to factor it instead of simplifying the answer is 3√2(2x-1)

Answer:

[tex]6x\sqrt{2} - 3\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

So you haven't provided any options, but I'm assuming they want it in most simplified form.

To do this, we simply combine like terms, and in this case you can see the [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] as a variable, if it makes it easier to think about why we can combine terms. So just like how we can do: [tex]2y + y = 3y[/tex] we can do the same thing here, since sqrt(2) constant and it's in each expression.

So if it makes a bit easier to represent, I'll rewrite the equation such that sqrt(2) = y

[tex]5xy-3y+xy[/tex]

So in here, think of y as the variable and the 5x, -3, and x as the coefficients.

In doing this we can combine the terms by adding them, since they all have the same "variable" (sqrt(2))

[tex](5x-3+x)y[/tex]

Simplify this expression to get

[tex](6x-3)y[/tex]

Now just plug the sqrt(2) back in as y and you get the expression

[tex](6x-3)\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Since we can't combine the 6x and -3 in any way, we we can just distribute this back into the sqrt(2)

[tex]6x\sqrt{2} - 3\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Using the normal distribution, we have that the desired information is given as follows:

a) X ~ N(3,1.8).

b) 3 days.

c) Z = 0.5556.

d) 0.33 = 33%.

e) 0.2048 = 20.48%.

f) 5.3 days.

Normal Probability Distribution

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean. Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

The mean and the standard deviation are given, respectively, by:

[tex]\mu = 3, \sigma = 1.8[/tex]

Hence the distribution is X ~ N(3,1.8), and, as is standard in the normal distribution, the median is the same as the mean, which is of 3 days.

The Z-score for a patient that took 4 days to recover is Z when X = 4, hence:

Z = (4 - 3)/1.8 = 0.5556.

The probability of spending more than 3.8 days in recovery is one subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 3.8, hence:

Z = (3.8 - 3)/1.8 = 0.44.

Z = 0.44 has a p-value of 0.67.

1 - 0.67 = 0.33.

The probability is of 0.33 = 33%.

The probability of spending between 3.2 and 4.2 days in recovery is the p-value of Z when X = 4.2 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 3.2, hence:

X = 4.2:

Z = (4.2 - 3)/1.8

Z = 0.67.

Z = 0.67 has a p-value of 0.7486.

X = 3.2:

Z = (3.2 - 3)/1.8

Z = 0.11.

Z = 0.11 has a p-value of 0.5438.

0.7486 - 0.5438 = 0.2048 = 20.48%.

The 90th percentile is X when Z = 1.28, hence:

1.28 = (X - 3)/1.8

X - 3 = 1.8 x 1.28

X = 5.3 days.

A function is shown: f(x) = 36x² - 1.
Choose the equivalent function that best shows the x-intercepts on the graph

Answers

Based on the given function, the equivalent function that best shows the x-intercepts on the graph is f(x) = (6x - 1)(6x + 1)

What are equivalent functions?

Equivalent functions are different functions that have equal values when evaluated and compared

How to determin the equivalent function that best shows the x-intercepts on the graph?

The function is given as:

f(x) = 36x^2 - 1

Express 1 as 1^2

f(x) = 36x^2 - 1^2

Express 36x^2 as (6x)^2

f(x) = (6x)^2 - 1^2

Apply the difference of two squares.

This is represented as:

(a + b)(a - b) = a^2 - b^2

So, we have the following equation

f(x) = (6x - 1)(6x + 1)

Based on the given function, the equivalent function that best shows the x-intercepts on the graph is f(x) = (6x - 1)(6x + 1)

There's also people in need, so you decide to blend your vacation with volunteering. Volunteering as a tourist, or voluntourism, seems like a great way to explore new regions and help people at the same time. However, this "volunteer plus travel" experience can actually harm local communities. While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference.[2] Most would agree that volunteering in general is a worthy use of time. However, what if you found out the children you are "helping" are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will spend money to come to the local area? Dale Rolfe, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist...encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help."[3] Proponents of the "volunteer plus travel" experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism "can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening" (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved.[4] If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your town's animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In fact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is improved, and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels).[5] There is another reason to look into alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average "voluntour" travel package costs $3,400 (Rolfe)? Could that travel money be better spent? If the world's citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you've returned home. But do not voluntour.[6] In reality, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but it does little except provide a costly, superficial experience that might actually do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed-at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships. Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put it to good use. Whatever you do, don't turn someone else's hardship into your vacation.How does the speaker's rhetorical question in paragraph 2 support the purpose of the speech? It emphasizes the need for willing and wealthy volunteers to bring help to those less fortunate. It highlights how unfair life can be for certain groups of people throughout the world. It reinforces the idea that voluntourism can harm the people and communities it is meant to help. It reminds the audience that there are some who fight the injustice associated with voluntourism. The four-e model is used to assess one's readiness to engage in difficult conversations. Which component is lacking if you are not aware of specific cultural details? By Kay Maxwell, Robert HardawayYESWhen the Constitution was written, the typical voter had few opportunities to learn about presidential candidates, sothe job of choosing the President was given to the Electoral College: Electors, who were appointed by their states,were better educated than average citizens, who were not thought capable of making an informed choice.Today, with universal education, TV, radio, newspapers, and the Internet, voters can learn about candidates forthemselves. And they should be trusted to choose their President.The Electoral College is unfair in several ways. First, it gives more weight to votes cast in small states. (Each state'selectoral votes are equal to the number of members it has in the House and Senate combined.) Second, because theElectoral College is "winner take all" in all but two states (Maine and Nebraska), people who disagree with themajority in their state are not represented. Finally, the system allows the election of a President who does not havethe support of a majority of voters.Without the Electoral College, candidates would campaign to get as many individual votes as possible in every state,instead of focusing on states that provide key electoral votes. Each vote would make a difference and voters wouldfeel they truly had a stake in the elections, which could lead to increased voting across the country. With a system ofdirect election, all votes would be equally important and equally sought after. We need to abolish the ElectoralCollege and make our presidential elections one person, one vote.-Kay J.

What is the reasoning behind using the evidence to support the claim(make a connection between the two): Postpartum depression and anxiety (ppd), is a common medical condition affecting mothers and their families after the birth of a baby. the cdc estimated that 12% of women who have recently given birth suffer from ppd. however, this research only reflected self-reported cases. therefore, one group dedicated to helping women and their families with ppd believes that the true percentage of women who suffer from ppd is much higher. the group conducts a simple random sample of 102 women who had given birth in the last year and discovers that 20 of them report having ppd. based on this evidence, can the group claim that the true percentage of women who have ppd is greater than 12%?
