Both problems give you a function in the second column and the x-values. To find out the values of a through f, you need to plug in those x-values into the function and simplify!
You need to know three exponent rules to simplify these expressions:
1)
The
negative exponent rule says that when a
base has a negative exponent, flip the base onto the other side of the
fraction to make it into a positive exponent. For example,

.
2)
Raising a fraction to a power is the same as separately raising the numerator and denominator to that power. For example,

.
3) The
zero exponent rule<span> says that any number
raised to zero is 1. For example,

.
</span>
Back to the Problem:
Problem 1
The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is

. The x-values are:
<span>
1) x = 0</span>Plug this into

to find letter a:

<span>
2) x = 2</span>Plug this into

to find letter b:

<span>
3) x = 4</span>Plug this into

to find letter c:

<span>
Problem 2
</span>The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is

. The x-values are:
<span>
1) x = 0</span>Plug this into

to find letter d:

<span>
2) x = 2
</span>Plug this into

to find letter e:

<span>
3) x = 4
</span>Plug this into

to find letter f:

<span>

Answers: a = 1b = </span>

<span>
c = </span>
d = 1e =
f =
Answer: There are several ways in which we can determine our marketing budget. Some of these are given below:
<u><em>1. Percentage of revenues:</em></u>
Under this method we usually take a fixed percentage of our revenues and further allocating this amount for marketing. We will choose the percentage that works best for us.
<u><em>2. Percentage of net sales:</em></u>
This method determines our marketing budget as a fraction of our net sales. This method will take a lot of trial and error to find the percentage that works well for our company.
<u><em>3. Industry specific:</em></u>
Nowadays, industries have specific projections as to the amount they will need to spend on marketing . The best way to get these numbers is to find a firm that represents our industry and ask them to provide us with averages. We can then refine the actual costs.
<em><u>4. Objective/task oriented
</u></em>
This is model that works by setting out goals, planning out the tasks and then estimating the cost for all of these tasks. It works greatly for firms who have a immense knowledge about measurements and information of their business processes.
0.5 is a rational number.
Answer:
x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+6 = x-1
add -6 to both sides
2x = x-7
add -x to both sides
x = -7
Answer:
0.36878
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Mean number of miles (m) = 2135 miles
Variance = 145924
Sample size (n) = 40
Standard deviation (s) = √variance = √145924 = 382
probability that the mean of a sample of 40 cars would differ from the population mean by less than 29 miles
P( 2135 - 29 < z < 2135 + 29)
Z = (x - m) / s /√n
Z = [(2106 - 2135) / 382 / √40] < z < [(2164 - 2135) / 382 / √40]
Z = (- 29 / 60.399503) < z < (29 / 60.399503)
Z = - 0.4801364 < z < 0.4801364
P(Z < - 0.48) = 0.31561
P(Z < - 0.48) = 0.68439
P(- 0.480 < z < 0.480) = 0.68439 - 0.31561 = 0.36878
= 0.36878
