Answer:

x=25.61

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the smallest amount, in dollars , that you can charge and make a profit of atleast $415, you need to find the value of x that gives p=415.

Substitute p=415 in the given quadratic equation and solve it for x.

415=-0.5x^{2} +36x-179

x^{2} -72x+1188=0

x=\frac{-(-72)+\sqrt{(-72)^{2}-4(1)(1188)} }{2(1)}

on solving we get x=25.61

The smallest amount you could charge and make a profit of $415 is $25.61

Answer:

The data set with the greater range is the Girls

The greater median is the Girls at 110

Step-by-step explanation:

The range is the difference between the largest and smallest values.

As the largest value for the boys is 120 and the smallest is 60, the range would be 60

As the largest value for the girls is 150 and the smallest is 70, the range would be 80.

This means that the Girls have the greater range

The median is the number in the middle when the data is in ascending order.

As we have an even number, we will have to find the middle value between 5 and 6. To do this, we can add them together and divide them by 2.

The 5th boy in ascending order is 90 and the 6th boy is 90.

(90+90)/2=90

The 5th 5irl is 100 and the 6th girl is 120

(100+120)/2=110

This means that the median is greater for the Girls.

Identify the zeros of f(x) = 2x^6 +2x^5
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

0, -1

Step-by-step explanation:

zeros occur when 2x^6+2x^5=0

the first way for this to happen would be to set x to 0. both terms would become zero.

the second way is x = -1

first term becomes 2

second becomes -2

these add to zero

When Jill woke up, the temperature was -3 C. By noon the temperature had increased by 8 C.

-3+8.

We know that the temperature /was/ -3, so it was 3 under zero. It has /risen/ by 8, meaning we have added 8 degrees to whatever the starting temperature was.

We can find out how much the temperature is right now: it was -3, went through -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and now its at 5 degrees. Thats risen by 8 degrees, right? And -3+8 is the same as 8-3 (commutative property of addition, since we basically did 8+(-3)) which equals 5, so we know that we got the correct answer. :)

About 12% of individuals write with their left hands. If a class of 130 students meets in a classroom with 130 individual desks,
Lynna [10]

Answer:

0.1019

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability, p=12%=0.12

Sample size, n=130 students

Those writing with left=14 students

Using the formula for binomial distribution

P(X≤x)=\left[\begin{array}{}n\\x\end{array}\right]p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x}

Substituting 0.12 for p, 130 for n, 14 for x we obtain

P(X≤x)=\left[\begin{array}{}130\\14\end{array}\right]0.12^{14}(1-0.12)^{130-14}

P(X≤x)=130C14*0.12^{14}(0.88)^{116}

P(X≤x)=0.1019
