(PLEASE HELP) Question is worth 30 points:) The following function represents the production cost F(x) In dollars for x numbers

of units produced by company 1: F(x)=0.05x^2-7x+300 The Following table represents the production cost g(x) in dollars, for x number of units produced by company 2: x: 0.6,0.8,1, 1.2, 1.4 G(x): 899.58,899.52,899.50,899.52, 899.58 based on the given information, the minimum production cost for company ____ is greater [put 1 or 2 in blank space]

Answer:

production cost f(x), in dollars, for x number of units produced by company 1:

f(x) = 0.05x^2 − 7x + 300

2) Table that represents the production cost g(x), in dollars, for x number of units produced by company 2:

x        g(x)

0.6     899.58

0.8     899.52

1        899.50

1.2     899.52

1.4     899.58

3) Comparison: do a table for f(x) with the same x-values of the table for g(x).

x            f(x) = 0.05x^2 − 7x + 300    g(x)

0.6         295.818                               899.58

0.8         294.432                               899.52

1            293.05                                 899.50

1.2         291.672                               899.52

1.4          290.298                              899.58

As you can see the values of f(x) are consistently lower than the values of g(x) for the same x-values.

The minimum production cost for company 2 is around 899.50 at x = 1, while the minimum production cost of company 1 is defintely lower (lower than 292.298 for sure, in fact if you find the vertex it is 55).

Answer: Based on the given information, the minimum production cost for company 2 is greater.

Find a polynomial P(x) with real coefficients having a degree 4, leading coefficient 4, and zeros 3-i and 4i.
Alisiya [41]

now, this polynomial has roots of 3-i and 4i, namely 3 - i and 0 + 4i.

let's bear in mind that a complex root never comes all by her lonesome, her sibling is always with her, the conjugate, so if 3 - i is there, 3 + i is also coming along, likewise if 0 + 4i is there, her sibling 0 - 4i is also there.

\bf \begin{cases} x=3-i\implies &x-3+i=0\\ x=3+i\implies &x-3-i=0\\ x=4i\implies &x-4i=0\\ x=-4i\implies &x+4i=0 \end{cases}\\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ (x-3+i)(x-3-i)(x-4i)(x+4i)=\stackrel{y}{0} \\[2em] \underset{\textit{difference of squares}}{[(x-3)+i][(x-3)-i]}\underset{\textit{difference of squares}}{[x-4i][x+4i]}=0

\bf [(x-3)^2-i^2][x^2-(4i)^2]=y\implies [(x-3)^2-(-1)][x^2-(4^2i^2)]=0 \\[2em] [(x-3)^2-(-1)][x^2-(16(-1))]=0\implies [(x-3)^2+1][x^2+16]=0 \\[2em] [(x^2-6x+9)+1][x^2+16]=y\implies (x^2-6x+10)(x^2+16)=0 \\\\\\ x^4-6x^3+10x^2+16x^2-96x+160=0 \\\\\\ x^4-6x^3+26x^2-96x+160=0 \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by 4}}{4(x^4-6x^3+26x^2-96x+160)=4(0)} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill 4x^4-24x^3+104x^2-384x+640=y~\hfill

The average college lecture hall (auditorium) can seat 60 students with a standard deviation of 21. Assume that a total of 60 le
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The standard deviation of the sample mean is  \sigma _ {\=  x } = 2.711

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mean is  \= x  =  60

    The standard deviation is  \sigma  =  21

     The sample size is n  =  60

Generally the standard deviation of the sample mean is mathematically represented as  

               \sigma _ {\=  x } =  \frac{\sigma  }{\sqrt{n} }

substituting values

               \sigma _ {\=  x } =  \frac{ 21 }{\sqrt{60} }

               \sigma _ {\=  x } = 2.711

Help me Find the answer, Here's the question!
Gelneren [198K]
Because the answers are all in standard form, we can simply look for the intercepts of the graph.

x-int = (-6, 0)
y-int = (0, -2)

You must multiply these numbers by a coefficient to equal 12:

-6y = 12
-2x = 12

Solve both equations by dividing by their values:

y = -2
x = -6

Look for the answer with these coefficients. The answer is -6x - 2y = 12.
