A=lw, right? So you would take what you know, 323 being a and 19 being l. 323=19w
Divide both sides by 19 leaving you with
323/19=w
17 feet=w
Answer:
f(6) = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Function:
f(x) = -2/3x + 5
f(6) = -2/3(6) + 5
f(6) = -4 + 5
f(6) = 1

Answer:
- <u>The rate of return is 8.15%</u>
- <u>This is a good investment</u>
<u></u>
Explanation:
For the first question, you need to find the rate that makes the present value of a stream of ten constant annual payments of $15,000 equal to the $100,000 investment.
The formula that returns the present value of a constant payment is called the annuity formula and is:
![Present\text{ }value=payment\times \bigg[\dfrac{1}{r}-\dfrac{1}{r(1+r)^t}\bigg]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Present%5Ctext%7B%20%7Dvalue%3Dpayment%5Ctimes%20%5Cbigg%5B%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7Br%7D-%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7Br%281%2Br%29%5Et%7D%5Cbigg%5D)
In your problem you know:
- Present value: $100,000
- payment: $15,000
- r: ?
- t: 10
You cannot solve for r directly. You must guess a value and calculate the right side of the equation until to you find the rate that makes it equal to 100,000.
Try 5%:
![\$15,000\times \bigg[\dfrac{1}{0.05}-\dfrac{1}{0.05(1+0.05)^{10}}\bigg]=\$115,826](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%2415%2C000%5Ctimes%20%5Cbigg%5B%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B0.05%7D-%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B0.05%281%2B0.05%29%5E%7B10%7D%7D%5Cbigg%5D%3D%5C%24115%2C826)
Then, the rate of return is greater than 5%. After several trials you will find that the rate of return is 8.15%.
Since this rate is higher than 8%, which is what the company requires, this is a good investment.
Answer:
<em>99.93%</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Probability of Independent Events</u>
Given the probability of success of each detector is 0.84 independently of the others, their combined success/failure probability can be computed with the product rule.
We can calculate the required probability by using the binomial distribution, but it's easier to calculate the probability of the negated event an subtract from 1.
We want to know the probability that a least one of the 4 systems detects the occurrence of theft. That probability is the sum of the probabilities that one of them, two of them, three of them or all of them succeed. The negated event is that NONE of them actually detects the theft. Being p the individual probability of success, p=0.84. Being q the probability of failure, q=0.16.
The probability that none of the systems detect the theft is

Thus, the probability that at least one of the systems detect the theft is

That means a 99.93%
