16. Mrs. Hunneycutt makes dog sweaters. Her profit each month is a function of the
price she charges for each sweater. Her total profits, y (in hundreds of dollars), based
on the sales price, x, can be modeled by the function y=-3x2 + 39x - 108.
Identify any zeros of the function, and interpret what the zeros mean in terms of the
situation

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The total profits will be zero at sales prices of $4 and $9

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The function is y = -3x² + 39x - 108, where

y is the total profits of hundreds of dollars x is the sales price

The zeroes of the function are the values of x at y = 0

→ To find the zeroes of the function above equate y by 0

∵ 0 = -3x² + 39x - 108

→ Switch the two sides

∴ -3x² + 39x - 108 = 0

→ Divide all terms by -3 to simplify the equation

x² - 13x + 36 = 0

→ Let us factor the trinominal into two brackets

∵ The last term is +ve and the middle term is -ve

∴ The two brackets have (-) sign in the middle ⇒ (... - ...)(... - ...)

∵ x² = (x)(x)

∵ 36 = (4)(9)

∵ (4)(x) + (9)(x) = 4x + 9x = 13x ⇒ the value of the middel term

→ That means the factors of the trinomial are (x - 4) and (x - 9)

x² - 13x + 36 = (x - 4)(x - 9)

→ Replace the trinomial by its factors

(x - 4)(x - 9) = 0

→ Equate each bracket by 0 to find x

∵ x - 4 = 0

→ Add 4 to both sides

x = 4

∵ x - 9 = 0

→ Add 4 to both sides

x = 9

The zeroes of the functions are 4 and 9

∵ x represents the sales price in dollars

∴ The sales prices which make zero profit are $4 and $9

The total profits will be zero at sales prices of $4 and $9

Intro

Answers

Answer:

1:4

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the volume of 30% acid solution, and y is the volume of 5% acid solution, then:

0.30x + 0.05y = 0.10(x + y)

0.30x + 0.05y = 0.10x + 0.10y

0.20x = 0.05y

x/y = 0.05/0.20

x/y = 1/4

y - 5 = 1/10 (x – 10)

GEOMETRY Write and solve an equation to find the value of x so that it figures have the same area.

Answers

Answer:

C. x=7 and the expression is (5+x)9=x*(15 3/7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of the first shape is 5+x and the length is 9

The width of the second shape is x and the length is 15 3/7

You want the same area of the figures, so they are equal. And the formula for the area of a rectangle is l*w. So...

(5+x)9=x*(15 3/7)

45+9x=(108/7)x

315+63x=108x

63x-108x=-315

-45x=-315

x=7

So, your answer is C.

A primatologist believes that rhesus monkeys possess curiosity. She reasons that, if this is true, then they should prefer novel stimulation to repetitive stimulation. An experiment is conducted in which 12 rhesus monkeys are randomly selected from the university colony and taught to press two bars. Pressing bar 1 always produces the same sound, whereas bar 2 produces a novel sound each time it is pressed. After learning to press the bars, the monkeys are tested for 15 minutes, during which they have free access to both bars. The number of presses on each bar during the 15 minutes is recorded. The resulting data are as follows:What is the alternative hypothesis? In this case, assume a nondirectional hypothesis is appropriate because there is insufficient empirical basis to warrant a directional hypothesis. What is the null hypothesis?
