For margin of error to be a maximum of 3:
3 = z*(SD / sqrt(n)), where z is the z-score, SD is the standard deviation and n is the sample size.
z = 1.96 for a 95% confidence interval, and we are given SD = 15.
3 = 1.96*15/sqrt(n)
sqrt(n) = 9.8
n = 96.04 ~ 96 commercials.

Find the Inverse of
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

y = 1/2x + 3

O f(x)= 1/2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x - 6

y = 2x - 6

x = 2y - 6

2y = x + 6

y = (x + 6)/2

y = 1/2x + 3

A 0.40 kg bird is flying at a constant speed of 8.0 m/s. What is the bird's kinetic energy?
nalin [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is 12.8 J.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we must remember how to calculate the kinetic energy of an object.

The kinetic energy is represented by the formula K = 1/2 * m * v^2, where m represents the mass of the object and v represents the speed or velocity of the object.  If we plug in the given values into the formula, we get:

K = 1/2 * m * v^2

K = (1/2) * (0.40) * (8.0)^2

Our first step is to square the velocity.  After doing this step, we get the following:

K = (1/2) * (0.40) * (64)

Finally, we can perform the multiplication, to get:

K = 12.8

The unit for kinetic energy is joules, so the correct answer is 12.8 J.

Hope this helps!

6.) the following function represents the profit P(n) in dollars that a concert promoter makes by selling tickets for n dollars
marissa [1.9K]
For Part A, what to do first is to equate the given equation to zero in order to find your x intercepts (zeroes)

0=-250n^2+3,250n-9,000 after factoring out, we get

-250(n-4)(n-9) and these are your zero values.

For Part B, you need to square the function from the general equation Ax^2+Bx+C=0. So to do that, we use the equated form of the equation 0=-250n^2+3,250n-9,000 and in order to have a positive value of 250n^2, we divide both sides by -1

250n^2-3,250n+9,000=0

to simplify, we divide it by 250 to get n^2-13n+36=0 or n^2-13n = -36 (this form is easier in order to complete the square, ax^2+bx=c)

in squaring, we need to apply <span><span><span>(<span>b/2</span>)^2 to both sides where our b is -13 so,
(-13/2)^2 is 169/4

so the equation now becomes n^2-13n+169/4 = 25/4 or to simplify, we apply the concept of a perfect square binomial, so the equation turns out like this 

(n-13/2)^2 = 25/4 then to find the value of n, we apply the square root to both sides to obtain n-13/2 = 5/2 and n is 9. This gives us the confirmation from Part A. 

For Part C, since the function is a binomial so the graph is a parabola. The axis of symmetry would be x=5.
