Answer:

110 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Come up with an equation first. The equation I used is

0.5p - 5 = 50

I used p for pounds but it could be any letter

Now solve the equation, you want to get p by itself.

0.5p - 5 = 50

        +5     +5

---------------------

0.5p = 55

Divide 0.5 from both sides

0.5/0.5 cancels out so now it looks like

p = 55/0.5

55/0.5 = 110

x = 110

And you can always check your work by plugging 110 into x and solving.

For a given data group, simple exponential smoothing is being used to forecast demand. The forecast of a given period is 110, wh
motikmotik

Answer:

The smoothing constant alpha is 0.20 (Option a)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, first we write the succession of the simple exponential smoothing:

s_t=\alpha x_t+(1-\alpha)s_{t-1}

Where s(t) is the forecast for period t, s(t-1) is the forecast for period (t-1), xt is the real demand for period t, and alpha is the smoothing constant.

All but the alpha constant are known

s(t)=109.2

s(t-2)=110

xt=110-4=106

Then, we can calculate alpha as:

s_t=\alpha x_t+(1-\alpha)s_{t-1}\\\\109.2=\alpha*106+(1-\alpha)*110\\\\109.2=(106-110)\alpha+110\\\\(110-106)\alpha=110-109.2=0.8\\\\4\alpha=0.8\\\\\alpha=0.2

What is the range of the function f(x)=3/4x-3
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

(-∞,0)∪(0,∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a function is wherever the y values exist.  The only time the y values dont exist in this function is when the denominator is zero.  So the denominator does not exist at x=0, because that is when 4x = 0.

Rewrite the function W= 50+2.3(h-60) in order to express height as a function of weight
OLga [1]
You need to solve the equation for h.

<span>W= 50+2.3(h-60)

Distribute the 2.3.

W = 50 + 2.3h - 138

W = 2.3h - 88

Add 88 to both sides.

W + 88 = 2.3h

Switch sides.

2.3h = W + 88

Divide both sides by 2.3.

h = (W + 88)/2.3
