The third selection is appropriate.
  |-40 -18| = |-58| = 58 . . . . units

_____
In the first selection, it is trying to tell you |-58| = -58. That is not so. The result of taking the absolute value is that the sign is never negative.

What is x? -2.5x- 2=18​
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

-2.5x - 2 = 18.

Add 2 to both sides.

-2.5x = 20.

Divide both sides by -2.5.

x = -8

What is 4,7,12,19,28 in quadratic form
Naddik [55]
Asked and answered elsewhere.

You obviously don't mind using "technology" (Brainly) to answer these questions. A graphing calculator can do quadratic regression on the sequence and tell you its formula.

If you want to do it by hand, you can write the equation
.. y = ax^2 +bx +c
and substitute three of the given points. Then solve the resulting three linear equations for a, b, and c.
.. 4 = a +b +c
.. 7 = 4a +2b +c
.. 12 = 9a +3b +c

Subtracting the first equation from the other two reduces this to
.. 3 = 3a +b
.. 8 = 8a +2b
The latter can be divided by 2, so reduces to
.. 4 = 4a +b
Subtracting the first of the reduced equations from this, you have
.. 1 = a
so
.. 3 = 3*1 +b
.. 0 = b
and
.. 4 = a + b + c = 1 + 0 + c
.. 3 = c

And your equation is
.. y = x^2 +3 . . . . . . as shown previously

Total profit P is the difference between total revenue R and total cost C. Given the following​ total-revenue and​ total-cost fu
gavmur [86]

Answer:

The profit function is:

P(x)=-x^2+1280x-3300

The maximum value is 406, 300 occurring when x = 640.

Step-by-step explanation:

The revenue function is:

R(x)=1300x-x^2

And the cost function is:

C(x)=3300+20x

Then the total profit function will be:

P(x)=R(x)-C(x)=(1300x-x^2)-(3300+20x)=-x^2+1280x-3300

This is a quadratic function.

Therefore, the maximum value of the total profit will occur at its vertex point.

The vertex of a quadratic is given by:

\displaystyle \Big(-\frac{b}{2a}, f\Big(-\frac{b}{2a}\Big)\Big)

In this case, a = -1, b = 1280, and c = -3300.

Then the point at which the maximum profit occurs is at:

\displaystyle x=-\frac{1280}{2(-1)}=640

And the maximum profit will be:

P(640)=-(640)^2+1280(640)-3300=406300

A market research team thinks that their new ad campaign is better than their old one. They used to be able to sell to 50% of th
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

a. The test statistic is 2 and we conclude that the new ad campaign is not signficantly better.

Step-by-step explanation:

They used to be able to sell to 50% of those who saw their ads. Test if the new campaign is better.

At the null hypothesis, we test is it is the same, that is, the proportion is the same.

H_0: p = 0.5

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if it is significantly better, that is, the proportion is above 50%.

H_1: p > 0.5

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.5 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 0.5, \sigma = \sqrt{0.5*0.5} = 0.5

They take a random sample of 100 potential buyers and find that they convinced 60 of these people to buy their product.

This means that n = 100, X = \frac{60}{100} = 0.6

Test statistic:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z = \frac{0.6 - 0.5}{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{100}}}

z = 2

The test statistic is 2.

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion above 0.6, which is 1 subtracted the by p-value of z = 2.

Looking at the z-table, z = 2 has a p-value of 0.9772.

1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228.

The p-value of the test is 0.0228 > 0.01, which means that we cannot conclude that the new ad campaign is signficantly better, so the correct answer is given by option A.
