The expression should be .8p

the .8 part is the part of the cost that you will pay. it's hard to explain, but .8p is the way to go

Mark recorded the growth of a plant over 8 weeks. The equation y=0.2 x+2

Leto [7]

Answer:

A. The height of the plant after week 3 was about 2.6 inches.

C. The height of the plant after week 9 was about 3.8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation given:

Y = 0.2x + 2

x represents the number of weeks

substituting x = 3 into the equation , we will have

y = 0.2(3) + 2

y = 0.6 + 2

y = 2.6

This means that the height of the plant after week 3 was about 2.6 inches.

Also , substituting x = 9 into the equation will give

y = 0.2 (9) + 2

y = 1.8 + 2

y = 3.8

This means that the height of the plant after week 9 was about 3.8 inches.

a) How many significant figures are in the numbers 99 and 100? (b) If the uncertainty in each number is 1, what is the percent u

levacccp [35]

Answer:

2, 3

1.01, 1

Percentage uncertainty

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The significant figures in the number 99 is 2

The significant figures in the number 100 is 3

b) Uncertainty in each of the numbers for both the numbers is 1

Percentage uncertainty

99

$\text{Percentage uncertainty}=\frac{\text{Uncertainty}}{Value}\times 100 \\\Rightarrow \text{Percentage uncertainty}=\frac{1}{99}\times 100=1.01$

Percentage uncertainty = 1.01

100

$\text{Percentage uncertainty}=\frac{\text{Uncertainty}}{Value}\times 100 \\\Rightarrow \text{Percentage uncertainty}=\frac{1}{100}\times 100=1$

Percentage uncertainty = 1

c) Percentage uncertainty is a better way to express the numbers as the significant figures do not show the actual value of the numbers.

A company sells widgets. The amount of profit, y, made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Widgets should be sold by $38.88 to maximize the profit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex of a quadratic function:

Suppose we have a quadratic function in the following format:

$f(x) = ax^{2} + bx + c$

It's vertex is the point $(x_{v}, y_{v})$

In which

$x_{v} = -\frac{b}{2a}$

$y_{v} = -\frac{\Delta}{4a}$

Where

$\Delta = b^2-4ac$

If a<0, the vertex is a maximum point, that is, the maximum value happens at $x_{v}$ , and it's value is $y_{v}$ .

In this question:

The profit is given by:

$y = -9x^2 + 700x - 6005$

Which is a quadratic function with $a = -9, b = 700, c = -6005$

The maximum profit happens at the x of the vertex. Thus

$x_{v} = -\frac{b}{2a} = -\frac{700}{2(-9)} = 38.88$

Widgets should be sold by $38.88 to maximize the profit.
