P(x) = 12x – 180

Given:

A company makes and sells charm bracelets.

The cost of producing x bracelets is represented by the function C(x) = 180 +

The revenue earned from selling x bracelets is represented by the function

R(x) = 20x.

Explanation of terms:

For x bracelets,

Cost of production is C(x); C(x) = 180 + 8x

Revenue earned is R(x); R(x) = 20x.Profit made is P(x); P(x) is unknown

Profit made = Revenue earned – Cost of production

∴ P(x) = R(x) – C(x)

P(x) = 20x – (180 + 8x)

P(x) = 20x – 180 – 8x

P(x) = 12x – 180

The profit made from selling x bracelets is represented by the function

15 bracelets are required to break even.

180+ 8x=20x

180=12x

15=x

Hope this helps!

The first step in solving 3.17 t - 2.431 = 5.06 is to divide both sides of the equation by 3.17. TrueFalse

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

$3.17t - 2.431 = 5.06 \\ 3.17t = 5.06 + 2.431 \\ 3.17t = 7.491 \\ \frac{3.17t}{3.17} = \frac{7.491}{3.17} \\ t = 2.363$

Answer:

400,000km is represented as 8cm on the map!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

1cm=50000km

8cm=x

Criss cross

1cmx=8cm×50000km

divide both side with 1cm

x=8×50000km

x=400,000km

For a certain river, suppose the drought length Y is the number of consecutive time intervals in which the water supply remains

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

a) There is a 9% probability that a drought lasts exactly 3 intervals.

There is an 85.5% probability that a drought lasts at most 3 intervals.

b)There is a 14.5% probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometric distribution is the number of failures expected before you get a success in a series of Bernoulli trials.

It has the following probability density formula:

$f(x) = (1-p)^{x}p$

In which p is the probability of a success.

The mean of the geometric distribution is given by the following formula:

$\mu = \frac{1-p}{p}$

The standard deviation of the geometric distribution is given by the following formula:

$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{1-p}{p^{2}}$

In this problem, we have that:

$p = 0.383$

$\mu = \frac{1-p}{p} = \frac{1-0.383}{0.383} = 1.61$

$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{1-p}{p^{2}}} = \sqrt{\frac{1-0.383}{(0.383)^{2}}} = 2.05$

(a) What is the probability that a drought lasts exactly 3 intervals?

This is $f(3)$

$f(x) = (1-p)^{x}p$

$f(3) = (1-0.383)^{3}*(0.383)$

$f(3) = 0.09$

There is a 9% probability that a drought lasts exactly 3 intervals.

At most 3 intervals?

This is $P = f(0) + f(1) + f(2) + f(3)$

$f(x) = (1-p)^{x}p$

$f(0) = (1-0.383)^{0}*(0.383) = 0.383$

$f(1) = (1-0.383)^{1}*(0.383) = 0.236$

$f(2) = (1-0.383)^{2}*(0.383) = 0.146$

Previously in this exercise, we found that $f(3) = 0.09$

$P = f(0) + f(1) + f(2) + f(3) = 0.383 + 0.236 + 0.146 + 0.09 = 0.855$

There is an 85.5% probability that a drought lasts at most 3 intervals.

(b) What is the probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation?

This is $P(X \geq \mu+\sigma) = P(X \geq 1.61 + 2.05) = P(X \geq 3.66) = P(X \geq 4)$ .

We are working with discrete data, so 3.66 is rounded up to 4.

Either a drought lasts at least four months, or it lasts at most thee. In a), we found that the probability that it lasts at most 3 months is 0.855. The sum of these probabilities is decimal 1. So:

$P(X \leq 3) + P(X \geq 4) = 1$

$0.855 + P(X \geq 4) = 1$

$P(X \geq 4) = 0.145$

There is a 14.5% probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation

Answer:

T(2, -7) = (4, -10)

Step-by-step explanation:

T(x, y) = (x + 2, y - 3)

T(2, -7) = (2 + 2, -7 - 3)

T(2, -7) = (4, -10)
