3x+4y=8
4y = -3x + 8; slope = -3
parallel lines, slope is the same so slope = -3
passes through (2,-5)
y = mx + b
b = y - mx
b = -5 - (-3)(2)
b = -5 + 6
b = 1

equation
y = -3x +1

hope it helps

frez [133]

C(x) = 80000 + 100x is the total cost as function of number of cycles produced

C(90) = 89000 and it costs $ 89000 to produce 90 bicycles

Solution:

Given that, company that manufactures bicycles has a fixed cost of $80,000

Fixed cost = $ 80,000

Let x be the number of cycles produced

Let C(x) be the total cost as function of number of cycles produced

It costs $100 to produce each bicycle

Variable cost = 100 x number of cycles produced

variable cost = 100x

The total cost for the company is the sum of its fixed cost and variable costs

total cost = fixed cost + variable cost

C(x) = 80000 + 100x

Thus total cost as function of "x" is found

Find and interpret C(90)

Substitute x = 90 in C(x)

C(90) = 80000 + 100(90)

C(90) = 80000 + 9000

C(90) = 89000

Thus it costs $ 89000 to produce 90 bicycles

A small business owner estimates his mean daily profit as $970 with a standard deviation of $129. His shop is open 102 days a ye

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

The probability that the shopkeeper's annual profit will not exceed $100,000 is 0.2090.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and we select appropriately huge random samples (n ≥ 30) from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sum of values of X, i.e ∑X, will be approximately normally distributed.

Then, the mean of the distribution of the sum of values of X is given by,

$\mu_{x}=n\mu$

And the standard deviation of the distribution of the sum of values of X is given by,

$\sigma_{x}=\sqrt{n}\sigma$

The information provided is:

μ = $970

σ = $129

n = 102

Since the sample size is quite large, i.e. n = 102 > 30, the Central Limit Theorem can be used to approximate the distribution of the shopkeeper's annual profit.

Then,

$\sum X\sim N(\mu_{x}=98940,\ \sigma_{x}=1302.84)$

Compute the probability that the shopkeeper's annual profit will not exceed $100,000 as follows:

$P (\sum X \leq 100,000) =P(\frac{\sum X-\mu_{x}}{\sigma_{x}}$

$=P(Z$

*Use a z-table for the probability.

Thus, the probability that the shopkeeper's annual profit will not exceed $100,000 is 0.2090.
