With a number of 328×41 and coming up with a answer of nearly 5,000 is not reasonable because just estimating it 300×10 is 3,000 so times that by 4 is 12,000.

Its not reasonable, here is why.

Grab a sheet of paper and follow along, write 328 x 41 and put 328 on top of 41.
multiply 8 x 1
multiply 2 x 1
multiply 3 x 1
multiply 8 x 4 which is 32
multiply 2 x 4 which is 8
multiply 3 x 4 which is 12
bring down the carry digit of 1
add 328 + 13120 which is 13448
or multiply 328 x 41 and u get 13448


The answer is not reasonable because its not the correct solution.

The function f(x) = x2 + 6x + 3 is transformed such that g(x) = f(x − 2). Find the vertex of g(x).
garri49 [273]

Answer:

(-1,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=x^2+6x+3

g(x)=f(x-2)

g(x)=(x-2)^2+6(x-2)+3  (Replaced x in f with (x-2))

g(x)=x^2-4x+4+6x-12+3 (Used (x+b)^2=x^2+2bx+b^2 and distributive property)

g(x)=x^2-4x+6x+4-12+3 (Gathered like terms)

g(x)=x^2+2x-5  (Simplified)

The vertex of a parabola occurs at (\frac{-b}{2a},g(\frac{-b}{2a}).

Let's find \frac{-b}{2a} first.

\frac{-2}{2(1)}=-1

Now we can obtain g(\frac{-b}{2a}) which is g(-1) in this case:

g(x)=x^2+2x-5

g(-1)=(-1)^2+2(-1)-5

g(-1)=1-2-5

g(-1)=-1-5

g(-1)=-6.

The vertex is (-1,-6).

The CEO of a clothing company estimates that 52% of customers will make a purchase. Part A: How many customers should a salesper
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

(a) The expected number of should a salesperson expect until she finds a customer that makes a purchase is 0.9231.

(b) The probability that a salesperson helps 3 customers until she finds the first person to make a purchase is 0.058.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let<em> </em>the random variable <em>X</em> be defined as the number of customers the salesperson assists before a customer makes a purchase.

The probability that a customer makes a purchase is, <em>p</em> = 0.52.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Geometric distribution since it describes the distribution of the number of trials before the first success.

The probability mass function of <em>X</em> is:

P(X=x)=(1-p)^{x}p

The expected value of a Geometric distribution is:

E(X)=\frac{1-p}{p}

(a)

Compute the expected number of should a salesperson expect until she finds a customer that makes a purchase as follows:

E(X)=\frac{1-p}{p}

         =\frac{1-0.52}{0.52}\\=0.9231

This, the expected number of should a salesperson expect until she finds a customer that makes a purchase is 0.9231.

(b)

Compute the probability that a salesperson helps 3 customers until she finds the first person to make a purchase as follows:

P(X=3)=(1-0.52)^{3}\times0.52\\=0.110592\times 0.52\\=0.05750784\\\approx 0.058

Thus, the probability that a salesperson helps 3 customers until she finds the first person to make a purchase is 0.058.
