Answer:

The value of p(x) is 19x - 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The revenue mowing x lawns is, r(x) = 25x.

Also, Mario's cost for gas and the mower rental is c(x) = 6x + 15.

Hence, his profit from mowing is x lawns is,

p(x) = (r-c)(x) = r(x) - c(x)    ( Subtracting functions property )

By substituting values,

p(x) = 25x - ( 6x+ 15 )

= 25x - 6x - 15       ( Associative property )

= 19x - 15

To avoid detection at customs, a traveler places 6 narcotic tablets in a bottle containing 9 vitamin tablets that are similar in
lukranit [14]

Answer: \dfrac{26}{27}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : To avoid detection at customs, a traveler places 6 narcotic tablets in a bottle containing 9 vitamin tablets that are similar in appearance.

Proportion of success : p=\dfrac{6}{9}=\dfrac{2}{3}

Sample size taken by customs official : n= 3

Let x be a binomial variable that represents the tablets in the bottle.

Using Binomial probability formula :-

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

The probability that the traveler will be arrested for illegal possession of narcotics =P(x\geq1)=1-P(x=0)

1-^3C_0(\dfrac{2}{3})^0(1-\dfrac{2}{3})^3\\\\=1-(1)(1)(\dfrac{1}{3})^3\ [\becuase ^nC_0=1]\\\\=1-\dfrac{1}{27}=\dfrac{26}{27}

Hence, the probability that the traveler will be arrested for illegal possession of narcotics = \dfrac{26}{27}

Using the order of operations, what should be done first to evaluate 12+(-6)(3)+(-2)?
sesenic [268]

Answer:

hello there...

you know BODMAS for sure

First brackets then of then divi then multi then add and then subtract

going by BODMAS

we need to first of all multiply of -6 and 3

hence ans is multiplying -6 and 3

( option 1 Is wrong by the equation u sent if the equation is correct then ans is which given bur by options I think equation is wrong becoz I don't see divide symbol)

The plane x+y+2z=8 intersects the paraboloid z=x2+y2 in an ellipse. Find the points on this ellipse that are nearest to and fart
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The minimum distance of   √((195-19√33)/8)  occurs at  ((-1+√33)/4; (-1+√33)/4; (17-√33)/4)  and the maximum distance of  √((195+19√33)/8)  occurs at (-(1+√33)/4; - (1+√33)/4; (17+√33)/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the two constraints are

g (x, y, z) = x + y + 2z − 8  

and  

h (x, y, z) = x ² + y² − z.

Any critical  point that we find during the Lagrange multiplier process will satisfy both of these constraints, so we  actually don’t need to find an explicit equation for the ellipse that is their intersection.

Suppose that (x, y, z) is any point that satisfies both of the constraints (and hence is on the ellipse.)

Then the distance from (x, y, z) to the origin is given by

√((x − 0)² + (y − 0)² + (z − 0)² ).

This expression (and its partial derivatives) would be cumbersome to work with, so we will find the the extrema  of the square of the distance. Thus, our objective function is

f(x, y, z) = x ² + y ² + z ²

and

∇f = (2x, 2y, 2z )

λ∇g = (λ, λ, 2λ)

µ∇h = (2µx, 2µy, −µ)

Thus the system we need to solve for (x, y, z) is

                           2x = λ + 2µx                         (1)

                           2y = λ + 2µy                       (2)

                           2z = 2λ − µ                          (3)

                           x + y + 2z = 8                      (4)

                           x ² + y ² − z = 0                     (5)

Subtracting (2) from (1) and factoring gives

                     2 (x − y) = 2µ (x − y)

so µ = 1  whenever x ≠ y. Substituting µ = 1 into (1) gives us λ = 0 and substituting µ = 1 and λ = 0  into (3) gives us  2z = −1  and thus z = − 1 /2 . Subtituting z = − 1 /2  into (4) and (5) gives us

                            x + y − 9 = 0

                         x ² + y ² +  1 /2  = 0

however, x ² + y ² +  1 /2  = 0  has no solution. Thus we must have x = y.

Since we now know x = y, (4) and (5) become

2x + 2z = 8

2x  ² − z = 0

so

z = 4 − x

z = 2x²

Combining these together gives us  2x²  = 4 − x , so

2x²  + x − 4 = 0 which has solutions

x =  (-1+√33)/4

and

x = -(1+√33)/4.

Further substitution yeilds the critical points  

((-1+√33)/4; (-1+√33)/4; (17-√33)/4)   and

(-(1+√33)/4; - (1+√33)/4; (17+√33)/4).

Substituting these into our  objective function gives us

f((-1+√33)/4; (-1+√33)/4; (17-√33)/4) = (195-19√33)/8

f(-(1+√33)/4; - (1+√33)/4; (17+√33)/4) = (195+19√33)/8

Thus minimum distance of   √((195-19√33)/8)  occurs at  ((-1+√33)/4; (-1+√33)/4; (17-√33)/4)  and the maximum distance of  √((195+19√33)/8)  occurs at (-(1+√33)/4; - (1+√33)/4; (17+√33)/4)
