Answer:

  750 < p < 1500

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost of the affair for p attendees is ...

  750 +2.25p

The average cost is that number divided by p. The answer choices suggest that "between" means that the cost per person cannot be 2.75 or 3.25. Applying the limits to the average cost, we get ...

  2.75 < (750 +2.25p)/p < 3.25

  2.75 < 750/p + 2.25 < 3.25 . . . . . . . . separating the fraction parts

  0.50 < 750/p < 1.00 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2.25

  2 > p/750 > 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . take the reciprocal*

  1500 > p > 750 . . . . . . . . matches choice 4

_____

* Taking the reciprocals of numbers with the same sign reverses their order:

  2 < 3   but   1/2 > 1/3

__

An alternate approach to the solution would be to multiply by p:

  0.50p < 750 < 1.00p

To solve this requires it be made into two inequalities:

  0.50p < 750   ⇒   p < 1500

and

  750 < 1.00p   ⇒   750 < p

Then these would need to be recombined to form the answer:

  750 < p < 1500

A certain cylindrical tank holds 20,000 gallons of water which can be drained from the bottom of the tank in 20 minutes the volu
zalisa [80]
Given that the volume of water remaining in the tank after t minutes is given by the function

V(t)=20,000\left(1- \frac{t}{20} \right)^2

where V is in gallons, 0 ≤ t ≤ 20 is in minutes, and t = 0 represents the instant the tank starts draining.

The rate at which water is draining four and a half minutes after it begins is given by

\left.&#10; \frac{dV}{dt} \right|_{t=4 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{9}{2} &#10;}=\left[40,000\left(1- \frac{t}{20} \right)\left(- \frac{1}{20} &#10;\right)\right]_{t= \frac{9}{2} } \\  \\ =\left[-2,000\left(1- &#10;\frac{t}{20} \right)\right]_{t= \frac{9}{2} }=-2,000\left(1- &#10;\frac{4.5}{20} \right) \\  \\ =-2,000(1-0.225)=-2,000(0.775)=-1,550\, &#10;gallons\ per\ minute

Therefore, the water is draining at a rate of 1,550 gallons per minute four ans a half minutes after it begins.

Answer option E is the correct answer.

If y varies inversely as x and y=3 when x=14, find x when y=6​
alukav5142 [94]
X=7 What you can do is look at the first two values given, and make them x1 and y1. Then your next value here is y2.

So x1 is 14, and y1 is 3. y2 becomes 6. X2 is unknown.

Then make the formula: x1/y2 is equal to x2/y1
(You are setting two fractions equal to each other)

That makes 14/6=X/3. When we cross multiply, we find that x=7.

Find the values of sin2u, cos2u, and tan2u given the figure.
Vadim26 [7]

Givens

y = 2

x = 1

z(the hypotenuse) = √(2^2 + 1^2)  = √5

Cos(u) = x value / hypotenuse = 1/√5

Sin(u) = y value / hypotenuse = 2/√5

Solve for sin2u

Sin(2u) = 2*sin(u)*cos(u)

Sin(2u) = 2(\dfrac{1}{\dsqrt{5}} * \frac{2}{\dsqrt{5}} = \dfrac{2}{5}) = 4/5

Solve for cos(2u)

cos(2u) = - sqrt(1 - sin^2(2u))

Cos(2u) = - sqrt(1 - (4/5)^2 )

Cos(2u) = -sqrt(1 - 16/25)

cos(2u) = -sqrt(9/25)

cos(2u) = -3/5

Solve for Tan(2u)

tan(2u) = sin(2u) / cos(2u) = 4/5// - 3/5 = - 0.8/0.6 = - 1.3333 = - 4/3

Notes

One: Notice that you would normally rationalize the denominator, but you don't have to in this case.  The formulas are such that they perform the rationalizations themselves.

Two: Notice the sign on the cos(2u). The sin is plus even though the angle (2u) is in the second quadrant. The cos is different. It is about 126 degrees which would make it a negative root (9/25)

Three: If you are uncomfortable with the  tan, you could do fractions.

\text{tan(2u)} = \dfrac{\dfrac{4}{5}}{\dfrac{-3}{5} } =\dfrac{4}{5} *\dfrac{5}{-3} =\dfrac{4}{-3}
