Answer:
C. Equation
Step-by-step explanation:
An equation generally provides the most specific information about a function. However, it cannot always be used for certain purposes—such as finding a specific inverse function value.
In the case of equations that are infinite series, even evaluating the function can become difficult when the series converges slowly.

Answer:
y = 1.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 39).
Let the operation which defines the relation between a and b is O.
Relation between a and b has been given as,
a O b = [tex]\frac{(a+b)}{(a-b)}[/tex]
Following the same operation, relation between 3 and y will be,
3 O y = [tex]\frac{3+y}{3-y}[/tex]
Since 3 O y = 4,
[tex]\frac{3+y}{3-y}=4[/tex]
3 + y = 12 - 4y
3 + y + 4y = 12 - 4y + 4y
3 + 5y = 12
3 + 5y - 3 = 12 - 3
5y = 9
[tex]\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{9}{5}[/tex]
y = 1.8
Therefore, y = 1.8 will be the answer.

Answer: B) 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions
Step-by-step explanation:
x represents three-point questions
y represents five-point questions
3x + 5y = 100 → 1(3x + 5y = 100) = 3x + 5y = 100
x + y = 24 → -3(x + y = 24) = -3x -3y = -72
2y = 28
y = 14 (five-point questions)
x + y = 24
x + 14 = 24
x = 10 (three-point questions)
CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE? Jen Butler has been pricing Speed-Pass train fares for a group trip to New York. Three adults and four children must pay $106. Two adults and three children must pay $75. Find the price of the adult's ticket and the price of a child's ticket.
Answer:
adult=18$ and children=13$
Step-by-step explanation:
a= adult. and. c= children
first change the statement into linear equation
3a+4c=106
2a+3c=75
then it just solving for a and y
3a+4c=106. a= 75-3c.
2
3(75-3c)+ 4c=106. solve for c
2
c=13
then find c by substituting the value you got into a . you can you either 3a+4c=106
or 2a+3c=75 to find the answer but the value of a is the same.
2a+3c=75. c=13
2a+3(13)=75
2a=75 -39
2a= 36
a=18
Answer:
Adults Ticket = $18
Child's Ticket = $13
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A denote the price of an adult's ticket
Let C denote the price of a child's ticket
It is given that the three adults and four children must pay $106.
Mathematically,
[tex]3A + 4C = 106 \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\: eq. 1[/tex]
It is also given that the two adults and three children must pay $75.

[tex]$ A = \frac{(75 - 3C)}{2} \:\:\:\:\:\:\: eq\:. 2 $[/tex]
Substitute eq. 2 into eq. 1
[tex]3A + 4C = 106[/tex]
[tex]$ \frac{3(75 - 3C)}{2} + 4C = 106 $[/tex]
Simplify,
[tex]$ \frac{3(75 - 3C)}{2} + 4C = 106 $[/tex]
[tex]$ \frac{225 - 9C}{2} + 4C = 106 $[/tex]
[tex]$ \frac{225 - 9C + 2(4C)}{2} = 106 $[/tex]
[tex]$ \frac{225 - 9C + 8C}{2} = 106 $[/tex]
[tex]$ 225 - 9C + 8C = 2(106) $[/tex]
[tex]$ 225 - C = 212 $[/tex]
[tex]C = 225 - 212[/tex]
[tex]C = \$13[/tex]
Substitute the value of C into eq. 2
[tex]$ A = \frac{75 - 3(13)}{2} $[/tex]
[tex]$ A = \frac{75 - 39}{2} $[/tex]
[tex]A = \$18[/tex]
Therefore, the price of the adult's ticket is $18 and the price of a child's ticket is $13

When a survey was conducted among 100 students to find their favorite pizza topping, 45 students voted for pepperoni, 25 for mushrooms, and 30 voted for cheese. If a pie chart were made showing the number of votes for each topping, the central angle for the cheese sector would be __________.
Answer:
The central angle for the cheese sector would be 108 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that a pi chart takes the form of a circle so the total angle measure is 360 degrees.
Now we want to find out what ratio of the pie chart that cheese takes up and apply it to the total degree measure.
30 of 100 students voted for cheese:
so the ratio would be 30/100 or 3/10
Now apply that to the total angle measure:
3/10*360 degrees= 108 degrees.

A firm just paid an annual dividend of $1.40 and increases that dividend by 2 percent each year. How do you find the price if the firm's stock at year 4 if the discount rate is 13 percent?
Answer:
14.05
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following:
Current Dividend = D0 = $ 1.40
g = growth rate = 2%
r = discount rate = 13%
Dividend in Year 5
= D5 = D0 * (1 + g) ^ 5
= $ 1.40 * (1 + 2%) ^ 5
= $ 1.40 * (1.02) ^ 5
Firm Stock Price at the end of year 4 = Dividend in Year 5 / (r - g)
= $ 1.40 * (1.02) ^ 5 / (13% -2%)
= $ 1.40 * (1.02) ^ 5 / (0.13 - 0.02)
Therefore, firm stock at the end of year 4 is
P4 = $ 1.40 * (1.02) ^ 5 / (0.13 - 0.02) = 14.05

what is the 20th term of the arithmetic sequence a(n)=-5+(n-1)3
Answer:
52
Step-by-step explanation:
a(n)=-5+(n-1)3
a(20)=-5+(20-1)3
a(20)=52
The 20th term of the arithmetic sequence is 52.
What is Arithmetic sequence?An arithmetic sequence is a list of numbers with a definite pattern. If you take any number in the sequence then subtract it by the previous one, and the result is always the same or constant then it is an arithmetic sequence.
For example,
In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same. For example, the sequence 3, 5, 7, 9 ... is arithmetic because the difference between consecutive terms is always two.
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by an = a + (n – 1)d.
Given:
a(n)=-5+(n-1)3
First term,
a(1)= -5 + 0
a(1)= -5
second, a(2)= -5 + 1*3
a(2)= -2
Third, a(3)= -5+6
a(3)= 1
d= 3
So, the 20th term
a(20)= -5+ (20-1)3
a(20)= -5 + 57
a(20)= 52
Hence, the 20th term is 52.

Answer:
The inverse is ±sqrt((x-1))/ 4
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 16x^2 + 1
To find the inverse, exchange x and y
x = 16 y^2 +1
Then solve for y
Subtract 1
x-1 = 16 y^2
Divide by 16
(x-1)/16 = y^2
Take the square root of each side
±sqrt((x-1)/16) = sqrt(y^2)
±sqrt((x-1))/ sqrt(16) = y
±sqrt((x-1))/ 4 = y
The inverse is ±sqrt((x-1))/ 4

Which of the following functions best describes this graph ?
Answer:
answer D
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets have a look to the graph and to the each of given functions.
As we can see in graph it intersects X in points (-3;0) and (-6;0) that means the function has the roots x1=-3 and x2=-6
Function A has the roots x1=+3 and x2=+6 => doesn' t fit
Function B has only 1 root x=2 , so can be factorized y=(x-2)^2 => doesn' t fit
Function C has 2 roots x1=4 and x2=-5 => doesn' t fit
Function D can be factotized as y=(x+6)*(x+3) so has 2 roots x1=-6 x2=-3 => exactly what we need!!!
We can also notice that the coefficient near x² is equal to 1 and is positive.
That means the legs of the graph directed up,- this is exactly like in our graph. It gives us extra argument why we choose D.
Find the critical point of the given function and then determine whether it is a local maximum, local minimum, or saddle point.
Answer:
critical point of the given function f(x,y) = x²+y²+2xy is from line y = -x is the critical point of the function f(x0,y0) = 0
and it local minimum.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the given function be;
f(x,y) = x²+y²+2xy
From above function, we can locate relative minima, maxima and the saddle point
f(x,y) = x²+y²+2xy = (x+y)²
df/dx = 2x+2y = 0 ---- (1)
df/dy =2y+2x = 0 ---- (2)
From eqn 1 and 2 above,
The arbitrary point (x0,y0) from line y = -x is the critical point of the function f(x0,y0) = 0
Then, from f(x,y) >= 0 for arbitrary (x,y) € R^n, the arbitrary point from the line x = -y is local minima of the function f.

A car is being driven, in a straight line and at a uniform speed, towards the base of a vertical tower. The top of the tower is observed from the car and, in the process, it takes 10 min for the angle of elevation to change from 45° to 60°. After how much more time will this car reach the base of the tower? Options: a. 5( √3+ 1 ) b. 6 (√3 +√2) c. 7 (√3- 1) d. 8 (√3-2)
Answer:
The correct answer is option a.
a. 5( √3+ 1 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the angle changes from 45° to 60° in 10 minutes.
This situation can be represented as right angled triangles [tex]\triangle[/tex]ABC (in the starting when angle is 45°)and [tex]\triangle[/tex]ABD (after 10 minutes when the angle is 60°).
AB is the tower (A be its top and B be its base).
Now, we need to find the time to be taken to cover the distance D to B.
First of all, let us consider [tex]\triangle[/tex]ABC.
Using tangent property:
[tex]tan\theta =\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\\Rightarrow tan 45=\dfrac{AB}{BC}\\\Rightarrow 1=\dfrac{h}{BC}\\\Rightarrow h = BC[/tex]
Using tangent property in [tex]\triangle[/tex]ABD:
[tex]\Rightarrow tan 60=\dfrac{AB}{BD}\\\Rightarrow \sqrt3=\dfrac{h}{BD}\\\Rightarrow BD = \dfrac{h}{ \sqrt3}\ units[/tex]
Now distance traveled in 10 minutes, CD = BC - BD
[tex]\Rightarrow h - \dfrac{h}{\sqrt3}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{(\sqrt3-1)h}{\sqrt3}[/tex]
[tex]Speed =\dfrac{Distance }{Time}[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{(\sqrt3-1)h}{10\sqrt3}[/tex]
Now, we can say that more distance to be traveled to reach the base of tower is BD i.e. '[tex]\bold{\dfrac{h}{\sqrt3}}[/tex]'
So, more time required = Distance left divided by Speed
[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{\dfrac{h}{\sqrt3}}{\dfrac{(\sqrt3-1)h}{10\sqrt3}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{h\times 10\sqrt3}{\sqrt3(\sqrt3-1)h}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{10 (\sqrt3+1)}{(\sqrt3-1)(\sqrt3+1)} (\text{Rationalizing the denominator})\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{10 (\sqrt3+1)}{3-1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{10 (\sqrt3+1)}{2}\\\Rightarrow 5(\sqrt3+1)}[/tex]
So, The correct answer is option a.
a. 5( √3+ 1 )
For the following data set, you are interested to determine the "spread" of the data. Would you employ calculations for the sample standard deviation, or population standard deviation for this data set: You are interested in the heights of students at a particular middle school. Your data set represents the heights of all students in the middle school with 600 students.
Answer: Use calculations for population standard deviation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The population standard deviation is defined as
a parameter which is a fixed valueevaluated by considering individual in the population.A sample standard deviation is defined as
a statistic ( whose value is not fixed ). Evaluated from a subset (sample) of population.Since, data set represents the heights of all students in the middle school with 600 students which is population here.
So, we do calculations to find population standard deviation.
Imagine working in a freelance developer earning 80 USD per hour how many weeks you will have to take a 12 hour flight on a weekday you can either book a flight for ticket for 11 AM for 900 USD or 11 PM flight or 11 USD there is no Internet boards if you take the day off like you will lose a day of work what would you do
Answer:
pay the 11 AM ticket
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that the flight last for 12 hours, and assuming the freelance developer can still work (have access to the internet) on the airplane throughout the flight, he stand to earn $960 ($80*12), which will still cover the cost of the flight with a profit of $60 ($960-900).
However, if he decides to pay the $11 flight ticket and there is no Internet on boards; there by losing a day of work, he stand to have lost working time which would earn with $900.
Therefore, the best choice is to pay the 11 AM ticket.

An aquarium is to be built to hold 60 m3of volume. The base is to be made of slate and the sides aremade of glass, and it has no top. If stone costs $120/m2and glass costs $30/m2, find the dimensions which willminimize the cost of building the aquarium, and find the minimum cost.
Answer:
Aquarium dimensions:
x = 3,106 m
h = 6,22 m
C(min) = 1277,62 $
Step-by-step explanation: (INCOMPLETE QUESTION)
We have to assume:
The shape of the aquarium (square base)
Let´s call "x" the side of the base, then h ( the heigh)
V(a) = x²*h h = V(a)/x²
Cost of Aquarium C(a) = cost of the base (in stones) + 4* cost of one side (in glass)
C(a) = Area of the base *120 + 4*Area of one side*30
Area of the base is x²
Area of one side is x*h or x*V(a)/x²
Area of one side is V(a)/x
C(x) = 120*x² + 4*30*60/x
C(x) = 120*x² + 7200/x
Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get
C´(x) = 2*120*x - 7200/x²
C´(x) = 0 means 240 *x - 7200/x² = 0
240*x³ - 7200 = 0
x³ = 7200/240
x = 3,106 m and h = 60 /x² h = 6,22 m
and C (min) = 120*(3,106)³ - 7200 / 3,106
C(min) = 3595,72 - 2318,1
C(min) = 1277,62

The total cost of a sweater and a jacket was $71.55 If the price of the sweater was $3.19 less than the jacket, what was the price of the sweater? Express your answer as a simplified fraction or a decimal rounded to two places.
Answer: $34.18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of the Jacket = $x and
The cost of the sweater. = $y
Now total price. = $71.55.
So, $x + $y. = $71.55 -- 1
From the second statements, the price of the sweater was $3.19 less than the price of the jacket. Transforming that into equation
y = ( x - $3.19 )
Now substitute for y in the equation (1) above.
x + ( x - 3.19 ) = 71.55
Now solve the equation
x + x - 3.19 = 71.55
2x - 3.19. = 71.55
2x = 71.55 + 3.19
2x. = 74.74
x = 74.74/2
= $37.37. cost of the jacket
Now to determine the cost of the sweater,
$71.55 - $37.37 = $34.18
The cost of the sweater = $34.18.
