Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When you go shopping for anything, you know that the more of that something you buy, the more money you are going to spend. In other words, the amount of money you spend depends directly upon the amount of stuff you buy. So the number of boxes of cookies you buy is the independent variable and the amount of money you spend on the cookies is the dependent variable.

What is the absolute value of the complex number -4-√2

Zepler [3.9K]

|a+bi| = √(a² + b²)

-4-√2 i -> take a = -4 and b = -√2

|-4-√2 i| = √[ (-4)² + (-√2)² ]
 = √[ 16 + 2 ]
 = √[ 18 ] = √[ 9 * 2 ]
 = 3√2
the absolute value is 3√2

In a manufacturing plant that produces new computers, a 0.15 probability exists that a computer will be defective. if five compu

Sindrei [870]

The probability that all of them will be defective is 0.0000759375

Explanation

The general Binomial Probability formula is....

$P= ^nC_{r}*p^r*(1-p)^n^-^r$ , where p is the probability of success, n is the total number of trials and r is the desired numbers of trials.

Given, the probability that a computer will be defective is 0.15 , so p = 0.15

Five computers are manufactured and we need to find the probability that all of them will be defective. That means, n = 5 and r = 5

Now according to the above formula....

$P= ^5C_{5}*(0.15)^5*(1-0.15)^5^-^5 \\ \\ P= 1*(0.15)^5* (0.85)^0\\ \\ P=(0.15)^5 =0.0000759375$

So, the probability that all of them will be defective is 0.0000759375

A company that rents small moving trucks wants to purchase 25 trucks with a combined capacity of 28,000 cubic feet. Three differ

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

We have 4 solutions:

No 10-foot truck, 10 14-foot trucks, and 15 24-foot trucks
2 10-foot trucks, 7 14-foot trucks, and 16 24-foot trucks
4 10-foot trucks, 4 14-foot trucks, and 17 24-foot trucks
6 10-foot trucks, 1 14-foot trucks, and 18 24-foot trucks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of 10-foot truck with a capacity of 350 cubic feet purchased=a

Let the number of 14-foot truck with a capacity of 700 cubic feet purchased=b

Let the number of 24-foot truck with a capacity of 1,400 cubic feet purchased=c

The company wants to purchase 25 trucks, therefore.

a+b+c=25

Furthermore, the combined capacity of the trucks is 28,000 cubic feet.

350a+700b+1400c=28000

Since the number of equations is less than the number of variables, you can not use a matrix equation to solve this problem. The solution is most easily found using an augmented matrix.

The augmented matrix is presented below:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&1&1&25\\350&700&1400&28000\end{array}\right]$

Using the calculator, the reduced row echelon form is:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&0&-2&-30\\0&1&3&55\end{array}\right]$

where

a- 2c=-30 means a =2c-30

b+3c=55 means b= 55-3c

We alter the value of c as long as neither a nor b becomes negative. Suitable values for c are 15, 16, 17, and 18:

$\left|\begin{array}{|c||c||c|}a=2c-30&b=55-3c&c\\0&10&15\\2&7&16\\4&4&17\\6&1&18\end{array}\right|$

We can easily verify that, for each solution, the number of trucks adds up to 25 and the fleet capacity is 28,000 cubic feet.

We therefore have 4 solutions:

No 10-foot truck, 10 14-foot trucks, and 15 24-foot trucks
2 10-foot trucks, 7 14-foot trucks, and 16 24-foot trucks
4 10-foot trucks, 4 14-foot trucks, and 17 24-foot trucks
6 10-foot trucks, 1 14-foot trucks, and 18 24-foot trucks

What would y=x^2 +x+ 2 be in vertex form

balu736 [363]

Answer:

$y = (x + \frac{1}{2} )^{2} + \frac{7}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = {x}^{2} + x + 2$

We can covert the standard form into the vertex form by either using the formula, completing the square or with calculus.

$y = a(x - h)^{2} + k$

The following equation above is the vertex form of Quadratic Function.

Vertex — Formula

$h = - \frac{b}{2a} \\ k = \frac{4ac - {b}^{2} }{4a}$

We substitute the value of these terms from the standard form.

$y = a {x}^{2} + bx + c$

$h = - \frac{1}{2(1)} \\ h = - \frac{ 1}{2}$

Our h is - 1/2

$k = \frac{4(1)(2) - ( {1})^{2} }{4(1)} \\ k = \frac{8 - 1}{4} \\ k = \frac{7}{4}$

Our k is 7/4.

Vertex — Calculus

We can use differential or derivative to find the vertex as well.

$f(x) = a {x}^{n}$

Therefore our derivative of f(x) —

$f'(x) = n \times a {x}^{n - 1}$

From the standard form of the given equation.

$y = {x}^{2} + x + 2$

Differentiate the following equation. We can use the dy/dx symbol instead of f'(x) or y'

$f'(x) = (2 \times 1 {x}^{2 - 1} ) + (1 \times {x}^{1 - 1} ) + 0$

Any constants that are differentiated will automatically become 0.

$f'(x) = 2 {x}+ 1$

Then we substitute f'(x) = 0

$0 =2x + 1 \\ 2x + 1 = 0 \\ 2x = - 1 \\x = - \frac{1}{2}$

Because x = h. Therefore, h = - 1/2

Then substitute x = -1/2 in the function (not differentiated function)

$y = {x}^{2} + x + 2$

$y = ( - \frac{1}{2} )^{2} + ( - \frac{1}{2} ) + 2 \\ y = \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{2} + 2 \\ y = \frac{1}{4} - \frac{2}{4} + \frac{8}{4} \\ y = \frac{7}{4}$
