If a watch store paid $125 per watch for a shipment of watches, and sold all but 15 watches from the shipment for $150 per watch, then, in terms of the number of watches in the shipment, y, what function describes the watch store’s profit, P, from the sales?
A) P(y) = 125(y – 15) – 150y
B) P(y) = 15(125 – y) – 150y
C) P(y) = 150(y – 15) – 125y
D) P(y) = 15(150 – y) – 125y
Answers
Answer: C) P(y) = 150(y – 15) – 125y
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation:
Profit = revenue - cost
Cost: a watch store paid $125 per watch for a shipment of watches
Cost = 125 y
Where y is the number of watches in the shipment
Revenue: sold all but 15 watches from the shipment for $150 per watch
Revenue = 150(y-15)
Profit(y) = 150(y – 15) – 125y
So, the correct option is:
C) P(y) = 150(y – 15) – 125y

Answers
Answer:
27π Sq in.
Step-by-step explanation:
Circle A is equal to 9π sq inches. (Radius squared times Pi), Segment BC is a radii of Circle B and the diameter of Circle A. Meaning Circle B's radius is 6 inches. The area of circle B would be 36π sq inches. Now we subtract Circle A's area from Circle B's area(36π sq in. - 9π sq in.), the area of the shaded region is 27π sq in.

Una compañía sabe que si produce "x" unidades mensuales su utilidad "u" se podría calcular con la expresión: u(x)=-0.04x^2+44x-4000 donde "u" se expresa en dólares. Determine la razón del cambio promedio de la utilidad cuando el nivel de producción cambia de 600 a 620 unidades mensuales. Recuerde que la pendiente de la recta secante a la gráfica de la función representa a la razón de cambio promedio.
Answers
Answer:
The ratio of the average change in profit when the level of production changes from 600 to 620 units per month is -24 : 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is:
A company knows that if it produces "x" monthly units its utility "u" could be calculated with the expression: u (x) = - 0.04x ^ 2 + 44x-4000 where "u" is expressed in dollars. Determine the ratio of the average change in profit when the level of production changes from 600 to 620 units per month. Remember that the slope of the secant line to the graph of the function represents the average rate of change.
Solution:
The expression for the utility is:
[tex]u (x) = - 0.04x ^ {2} + 44x-4000[/tex]
It is provided that the slope of the secant line to the graph of the function represents the average rate of change.
Then the ratio of the average change in profit when the level of production changes is:
[tex]\text{Average change in profit}=\frac{u(x_{2})-u(x_{1})}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]
Compute the values of u (x₁) and u (x₂) as follows:
x₁ = 600
[tex]u (x_{1}) = - 0.04x_{1} ^ {2} + 44x_{1}-4000[/tex]
[tex]= - 0.04(600) ^ {2} + 44(600)-4000\\=-14400+26400-4000\\=8000[/tex]
x₂ = 620
[tex]u (x_{2}) = - 0.04x_{2} ^ {2} + 44x_{2}-4000[/tex]
[tex]= - 0.04(620) ^ {2} + 44(620)-4000\\=-15376+27280-4000\\=7904[/tex]
Compute the average rate of change as follows:
[tex]\text{Average change in profit}=\frac{u(x_{2})-u(x_{1})}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{7904-800}{620-600}\\\\=\frac{-96}{20}\\\\=-\frac{24}{5}\\\\=-24:5[/tex]
Thus, the ratio of the average change in profit when the level of production changes from 600 to 620 units per month is -24 : 5.

Answers
Explanation: well let’s me show you the work :)
-5(x+8)= -25
Distribute! Yay my fav lol...so multiply the -5 into the “x” and 8
Multiply a negative with a positive you get negative so this is how your equation should look like now
-5x-40= -25
:)
Then you would solve!!! So add the 40 on both sides looking like this :)
-5x-40= -25
+40 +40
Giving you this :)
-5x= 15
It’s 15 because technically you’re subtracting the 25 from the 40, so 40-25 equals 15 :)
Then you divide both by -5 canceling the -5 in the top like this
-5x=15

-5 -5
Making x=-3 :)

Answers
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
Each interior angle of a regular pentagon is 108 degrees. So Angle AED is 108 degrees. Since Angle AEF is a straight line (180 degrees), Angle FED is 72. This is because 180-108 = 72. Now, since a triangle has a total of 180 degrees, we add 72 and 90, because those are the 2 degrees we have calculated. This gives us a total of 162. Now, we subtract 162 from 180 to find out the degree of Angle FDE. This is 18. So our final answer is 18.

The biomass B(t) of a fishery is the total mass of the members of the fish population at time t. It is the product of the number of individuals N(t) in the population and the average mass M(t) of a fish at time t. In the case of guppies, breeding occurs continually. Suppose that at time t = 5 weeks the population is 824 guppies and is growing at a rate of 50 guppies per week, while the average mass is 1.3 g and is increasing at a rate of 0.14 g/week. At what rate is the biomass increasing when t = 5? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) B'(5) = g/week
Answers
Answer:
The rate at which the biomass is increasing when t = 5 is 180.36 g/week
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
t = 5 weeks
Population N(t) = 824 guppies
Growth Rate [tex]\dfrac{dN(t)}{dt}= 50 \ guppies /week[/tex]
average mass M(t) = 1.3 g
increase rate of biomass [tex]\dfrac{dM (t)}{t}[/tex]= 0.14 g/week
Therefore; the rate at which the biomass is increasing when t = 5 is:
[tex]\dfrac{dB(t)}{dt}= M(t) * \dfrac{dN(t)}{dt}+ N(t)* \dfrac{dM (t)}{t}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{dB(t)}{dt}=1.3 * 50+ 824* 0.14[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{dB(t)}{dt}=65+115.36[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{dB(t)}{dt}=180.36 \ g/week}[/tex]
The rate at which the biomass is increasing when t = 5 is 180.36 g/week
The rate at which the biomass is increasing when t = 5 is 180.36 g/week
Calculation of the rate:Since time = 5 weeks, Population N(t) = 824 guppies, and growth rate = 50 guppies / week, average mass = 1.3g, and the increase rate of biomass is 0.14g/week
So,

Find the center and radius of x^2 – 18x + y^2 -10y = -6. part two write x2 – 18x + y2 -10y = -6 in standard form

Given
x² - 18x + y² - 10y = - 6
Using the method of completing the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x/ y terms )² to both sides
x² + 2(- 9)x + 81 + y² + 2(- 5)y + 25 = - 6 + 81 + 25, that is
(x - 9)² + (y - 5)² = 100 ← in standard form

7 3/8 + (-4 1/2) ÷ (-5 2/3) Please Explain
Answers
Answer:
7 3/8 + (-4 1/2) ÷ (-5 2/3) = 8 23/136
Step-by-step explanation:
1) First I turned all the mix numbers into improper fractions:
7 3/8 ----> ( 7(8)+3/8) = 59/8, 4 1/2 ----> (4(2)+1/2) = 9/2, 5 2/3 ----> (5(3)+2/3) = 17/3
So now it should look like this: 59/8 + (-9/2)÷(-17/3)
2) Now our goal is to divide both of the improper fractions (-9/2)÷(-17/3),
- We first apply our fraction rule: -a/-b = a/b (when we have two negatives they cancel out each other and make a positive)
Our Case, From this:-9/2 ÷ -17/3 = To This: 9/2 ÷ 17/3
3) Now we can divide the fractions using this rule: a/b ÷ c/d = a times d / b times
Our Case, From This: 9/2 ÷ 17/3 To This: 9(3)/2(17) Which Gives Us: 27/34
(9 x 3 = 27, 2 x 17= 34)
So now it looks like this: 59/8 +27/34
4) Our look goal is to have the same denominator (which is the bottom part of the fraction) which are 8 and 34
To find it we find the LCM or Least Common Multiple of 8 and 34
(The LCM of a, b is the smallest positive number that is divisible by both a and b) which in this case a and b are 8 and 34
LCM is 136
5) We adjust our two fractions based on the LCM,
(Multiply each numerator ( top part of the fraction) by the same amount of needed to multiply its corresponding denominator to turn it to the LCM 136.
From This: 59/8 and 27/34 To This: 1003/136 and 108/36 ( 59(17)/8 (17) = 1003/136, 27(4)/34(4) = 108/306
6) Finally we can add the numerator (1003 and 108) together: 1003+108= 1111 and now we are left with 1111/136
Then we turn our improper fraction back into a mix number: 1111/138= 8 23/136

[tex]\frac{59}{8} + \frac{ - \frac{9}{2} }{ - \frac{17}{3} } \\\\= \frac{59}{8} + \frac{27}{34}[/tex]
Find the LCM of the denominators:
[tex]\frac{(17 * 59) + (4 * 27)}{136} \\\\ = \frac{1003 + 108}{136}\\ \\= \frac{1111}{136} \\\\= 8 \frac{23}{136}[/tex]

How many real solutions In this problem
Answers
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
y = x² + 1
y = x
Equating gives
x² + 1 = x ( subtract x from both sides )
x² - x + 1 = 0
Consider the discriminant Δ = b² - 4ac
with a = 1, b = - 1 and c = 1
b² - 4ac = (- 1)² - (4 × 1 × 1) = 1 - 4 = - 3
Since b² - 4ac < 0 then there are no real solutions
What is the value of discontinuity of x^2+8x+4/x^2-x-6? Choices:
Answers
Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
First of all, let's check the denominator.
[tex]x^2-x-6 \ \ \text{ *** How to factorise it ...? ***}\\\\\text{*** The product of the roots is -6=-2*3 and their sum is 1 ***}\\\\x^2-x-6=x^2-3x+2x-6=x(x-3)+2(x-3)=(x+2)(x-3)[/tex]
Now, let's see the numerator.
[tex]x^2+8x+4 \ \text{ *** -2 is not a zero as ***}\\\\(-2)^2+8*(-2)+4=4-16+8=-4\\\\\text{*** 3 is not a zero as ***}\\\\3^2+8*3+4=9+24+4=37\\[/tex]
So we cannot factorise the numerator with (x+2) or (x-3)
Then, -2 and 3 are the the discontinuities of the expression.
There is only -2 in the list, this is the correct answer.
Hope this helps.
Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.
