The initial cost for Travis and his band to record their first CD was $1500. Each CD will cost $4 to produce. If they sell their

CDs for $10 each, how many must they sell before they make profit?

C=1500+4x where x is cds, C is cost
R=10x where R is revenue
then, P=R-C
P=10x-1500-4x
P=6x-1500
set P=0
1500=6x
x=250
check, C=1500+4*250, R=10*250
C=250, R=250
They need to sell 250 cds before they make profit

The probability distribution of the amount of memory X (GB) in a purchased flash drive is given below. x 1 2 4 8 16 p(x) .05 .10

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

a) $E(X) = 6.45$

b) $E(X^{2} )= 57.25$

c) $V(X) = 15.648$

d) E(3X + 2) = 21.35

e) $E(3X^{2} +2) = 173.75$

f) V(3X+2) = 140.832

g) E(X+1) = 7.45

h) V(X+1) = 15.648

Step-by-step explanation:

a) $E(X) = \sum xP(x)$

$E(X) = (1*0.05) + (2*0.10) + (4*0.35) + (8*0.40) + (16*0.10)\\E(X) = 6.45$

b)

$E(X^{2} ) = (1^{2} *0.05) + (2^{2} *0.10) + (4^{2} *0.35) + (8^{2} *0.40) + (16^{2} *0.10)\\ E(X^{2} )= 57.25$

c)

$V(X) = E(X^{2} ) - (E(X))^{2} \\V(X) = 57.25 - 6.45^{2} \\V(X) = 15.648$

d)

$E(3X+2) = 3E(X) + 2\\E(3X+2) = (3*6.45) + 2 \\E(3X+2) = 21.35$

e)

$E(3X^{2} +2) = 3E(X^{2} ) + 2\\E(3X^{2} +2) = (3*57.25) + 2 \\E(3X^{2} +2) = 173.75$

f)

$V(3X+2) = 3^{2} V(X)\\V(3X+2) = 9*15.648\\V(3X+2) = 140.832$

g)

$E(X+1) = E(X) + 1\\E(X+1) = 6.45 + 1\\E(X+1) =7.45$

h)

$V(X+1) = 1^{2} V(X)\\V(X+1) = 15.648$

A baker is building a rectangular solid box from cardboard to be able to safely deliver a birthday cake. The baker wants the vol

k0ka [10]

The length of the rectangular delivery box must be equal to 4 inches.

Let the length of the box be L.

Let the width of the box be W.

Let the height of the box be H.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Volume of box = 224 cubic inches.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression;

$W = 3 + L$ ......equation 1

$H = 4 + L$ ......equation 2.

Mathematically, the volume of a rectangular solid is given by the formula;

$Volume = length * width * height$ .....equation 3.

Substituting the values into equation, we have;

$224 = L * (3 + L) * (4 + L)\\\\224 = (3L + L^{2})* (4 + L)\\\\224 = 12L + 3L^{2} + 4L^{2} + L^{3} \\\\224 = 12L + 7L^{2} + L^{3}$

Rearranging the polynomial, we have;

$L^{3} + 7L^{2} + 12L - 224 = 0$

We would apply the remainder theorem to solve the polynomial.

According to the remainder theorem, if a polynomial P(x) is divided by (x - r) and there is a remainder R; then P(r) = R.

When x = 3

$(x - 3) = 0\\x = 3$

$P(3) = 3^{3} + 7(3^{2}) + 12(3) - 224\\\\P(3) = 27 + 7(9) + 36 - 224\\\\P(3) = 27 + 63 + 36 - 224 = -98 \neq 0$

We would try with 4;

$P(4) = 4^{3} + 7(4^{2}) + 12(4) - 224\\\\P(4) = 64 + 7(16) + 48 - 224\\\\P(4) = 64 + 112 + 48 - 224\\\\P(4) = 224 - 224 = 0$

Therefore, 4 is one of its roots.

Hence, the length of the rectangular delivery box must be equal to 4 inches.
