Bertha buys electricity from a company that offers a choice of two tariffs. Both have a daily charge of $0.20 regardless of how

much electricity is used. The ‘standard’ tariff charges $0.10 for each unit used, while the ‘day/night tariff’ charges $0.12 for each unit consumed between 06:00 and 22:00 but only $0.05 for each unit consumed between 22:00 and 06:00, when total demand on the electricity network is low. Bertha is currently on the standard tariff. What is the highest proportion of her total electricity consumption that Bertha’s daytime use can be, so that she would not be paying more if she switched to the ‘day/night’ tariff?
A. 5/17
B. 2/5
C. 5/7
D. 17/20

Answer: D ( 17/20)

Step-by-step explanation:

The two choices are:

The ‘standard’ tariff charges = $0.10 per unit

The ‘day/night tariff’ = $0.12 per unit for each unit consumed between 06:00 and 22:00 but only $0.05 for each unit consumed between 22:00 and 06:00

The day time is between 22:00 and 06:00

Time = 22 - 6 = 16 hours

Let assume that the charges are unit per hour.

For standard tariff = (16 × 0.10) + 0.2

Standard tariff = 1.6 + 0.2 = 1.8

For day/night = (16 × 0.12) + 0.2

= 1.92 + 0.2

= 2.12

The proportion will be

1.8/2.12 = 17/20 ( approximately)

The center of a circle is at (-5 12) and it has a radius of 16. what is the equation of the circle?
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

(x+5)^2+(y-12)^2=256

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparing the given (x+5)^2+(y-12)^2=256

to                                   (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2,  

we see that h must be -5, k must be 12 and r must be 16.  This is the desired equation of the circle with center at (-5, 12) and radius 16.

Limit as x approaches infinity: 2x/(3x²+5)
Nonamiya [84]
\bf \lim\limits_{x\to \infty}~\cfrac{2x}{3x^2+5}\implies \cfrac{\lim\limits_{x\to \infty}~2x}{\lim\limits_{x\to \infty}~3x^2+5}

now, by traditional method, as "x" progresses towards the positive infinitity, it becomes 100, 10000, 10000000, 1000000000 and so on, and notice, the limit of the numerator becomes large.

BUT, notice the denominator, for the same values of "x", the denominator becomes larg"er" than the numerator on every iteration, ever becoming larger and larger, and yielding a fraction whose denominator is larger than the numerator.

as the denominator increases faster, since as the lingo goes, "reaches the limit faster than the numerator", the fraction becomes ever smaller an smaller ever going towards 0.

now, we could just use L'Hopital rule to check on that.

\bf \lim\limits_{x\to \infty}~\cfrac{2x}{3x^2+5}\stackrel{LH}{\implies }\lim\limits_{x\to \infty}~\cfrac{2}{6x}

notice those derivatives atop and bottom, the top is static, whilst the bottom is racing away to infinity, ever going towards 0.

Doss [256]

Answer:

more than 15.40 cm and less than  14.60 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A manufacturer of bolts has a quality control policy that requires it destroy any bolts that are more than 4 standard deviations from the mean.

mean length= 15 cm

standard deviation= 0.10 cm

4 standard deviation from mean= 15±(4×0.10)

therefore, bolts of length more than 15+0.4, and less than 15-0.4 will be destroyed

= 15.40 cm and 14.60 cm
