Answer:

x = 3.36

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{8} = \frac{.42}{1}$ , if we have a fraction = fraction then we can cross multiply to have a multiplication problem

x · 1 = 8 · 0.42, multiply

x = 3.36

An owner of a key rings manufacturing company found that the profit earned (in thousands of dollars) per day by selling n number

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

The number of key rings sold on a particular day when the total profit is $5,000 is 4,000 rings.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete.

An owner of a key rings manufacturing company found that the profit earned (in thousands of dollars) per day by selling n number of key rings is given by

$P=n^2-2n-3$

where n is the number of key rings in thousands.

Find the number of key rings sold on a particular day when the total profit is $5,000.

We have the profit defined by a quadratic function.

We have to calculate n, for which the profit is $5,000.

$P=n^2-2n-3=5\\\\n^2-2n-8=0$

We have to calculate the roots of the polynomial we use the quadratic equation:

$n=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\n= \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{4-4*1*(-8)}}{2}= \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{4-32}}{2} = \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{36}}{2} =\frac{-2\pm6}{2} \\\\n_1=(-2-6)/2=-8/2=-4\\\\n_2=(-2+6)/2=4/2=2$

n1 is not valid, as the amount of rings sold can not be negative.

Then, the solution is n=4 or 4,000 rings sold.

If ex + e⁻¹= 2, then x =..

Answer:

$\rm x = \dfrac{2e - 1}{ {e}^{2} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\rm Solve \: for \: x: \\ \rm \longrightarrow ex + {e}^{ - 1} = 2 \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow e x + \dfrac{1}{e} = 2 \\ \\ \rm Subtract \: \dfrac{1}{e} \: from \: both \: sides: \\ \rm \longrightarrow e x + \dfrac{1}{e} - \dfrac{1}{e} = 2 - \dfrac{1}{e} \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow ex = \dfrac{2e}{e} - \dfrac{1}{e} \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow ex = \dfrac{2e - 1}{e} \\ \\ \rm Divide \: both \: sides \: by \: e: \\ \rm \longrightarrow \dfrac{ex}{e} = \dfrac{2e - 1}{e \times e} \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow x = \dfrac{2e - 1}{ {e}^{2} }$
