The cost, C, to produce b baseball bats per day is modeled by the function C(b) = 0.06b2 – 7.2b + 390. What number of bats shoul

d be produced to keep costs at a minimum?

Check the picture below, that's just an example of a parabola opening upwards.

so the cost equation C(b), which is a quadratic with a positive leading term's coefficient, has the graph of a parabola like the one in the picture, so the cost goes down and down and down, reaches the vertex or namely the minimum, and then goes back up.

bearing in mind that the quantity will be on the x-axis and the cost amount is over the y-axis, what are the coordinates of the vertex of this parabola?  namely, at what cost for how many bats?

\bf \textit{vertex of a vertical parabola, using coefficients} \\\\ C(b) = \stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{0.06}b^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{-7.2}b\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{+390} \qquad \qquad \left(-\cfrac{ b}{2 a}~~~~ ,~~~~ c-\cfrac{ b^2}{4 a}\right)

\bf \left( -\cfrac{-7.2}{2(0.06)}~~,~~390-\cfrac{(-7.2)^2}{4(0.06)} \right)\implies (60~~,~~390-216) \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill (\stackrel{\textit{number of bats}}{60}~~,~~\stackrel{\textit{total cost}}{174})~\hfill

A box contains 5 plain pencils and 7 pens. A second box contains 4 color pencils and 4
Savatey [412]
5:7 (pencils to pens)

7/12 chance that a pen from the first box will be selected.

4:4 (colour pencils to crayons)

4/8 = 1/2 chance that a crayon from the second box will be selected.

The probability of picking both:

7/12 * 1/2 = 8/24 = 1/3

1. Name three examples of each of the types of properties of matter:
uysha [10]

Intensive properties and extensive properties are types of physical properties of matter. The terms intensive and extensive were first described by physical chemist and physicist Richard C. Tolman in 1917. Here's a look at what intensive and extensive properties are, examples of them, and how to tell them apart.


Intensive Properties

Intensive properties are bulk properties, which means they do not depend on the amount of matter that is present. Examples of intensive properties include:

Boiling point

Density

State of matter

Color

Melting point

Odor

Temperature

Refractive Index

Luster

Hardness

Ductility

Malleability

Intensive properties can be used to help identify a sample because these characteristics do not depend on the amount of sample, nor do they change according to conditions.


Extensive Properties

Extensive properties do depend on the amount of matter that is present. An extensive property is considered additive for subsystems. Examples of extensive properties include:

Volume

Mass

Size

Weight

Length

The ratio between two extensive properties is an intensive property. For example, mass and volume are extensive properties, but their ratio (density) is an intensive property of matter.

While extensive properties are great for describing a sample, they aren't very helpful identifying it because they can change according to sample size or conditions.


Way to Tell Intensive and Extensive Properties Apart

One easy way to tell whether a physical property is intensive or extensive is to take two identical samples of a substance and put them together. If this doubles the property (e.g., twice the mass, twice as long), it's an extensive property. If the property is unchanged by altering the sample size, it's an intensive property.
