Rasek [7]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

We use BODMAS/BIDMAS here.

First, we do 5 × 2, as multiplication comes before subtracting and adding.

5 × 2 = 10

Now we can just add and subtract.

5 - 10 = -5

-5 + 11 = 6

The total cost (in hundreds of dollars) to produce x units of a product is c(x) = (3x-2) / (8x+1), find the average cost for eac
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

a) \frac{74}{10025}

b) \frac{3x-2}{x(8x+1)}

c) \frac{-24x^2+32x-2}{(8x^2+x)^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

For total cost function c(x), average cost is given by \frac{c(x)}{x} i.e., total cost divided by number of units produced.

Marginal average cost function refers to derivative of the average cost function i.e., \left ( \frac{c(x)}{x} \right )'

Given:c(x)=\frac{3x-2}{8x+1}

Average cost = \frac{c(x)}{x}=\frac{3x-2}{x(8x+1)}

a)

At x = 50 units,

\frac{c(50)}{50}=\frac{150-2}{50(400+1)}=\frac{148}{50(401)}=\frac{74}{10025}

b)

Average cost = \frac{c(x)}{x}=\frac{3x-2}{x(8x+1)}

c)

Marginal average cost:

Differentiate average cost with respect to x

Take f=3x-2\,,\,g=8x^2+x

using quotient rule, \left ( \frac{f}{g} \right )'=\frac{f'g-fg'}{g^2}

Therefore,

\left ( \frac{c(x)}{x} \right )'=\left ( \frac{3x-2}{8x^2+x} \right )'\\=\left ( \frac{3(8x^2+x)-(16x+1)(3x-2)}{(8x^2+x)^2} \right )\\=\frac{24x^2+3x-48x^2-3x+32x+2}{(8x^2+x)^2}\\=\frac{-24x^2+32x-2}{(8x^2+x)^2}

Radha purchased a cosmetic item at 5 % discount. If she got the discount amount of
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

She purchased the item at a price of Rs 1,406.

Step-by-step explanation:

5% of discount:

This means that she paid 100% - 5% = 95% = 0.95 of the original price of x, that is, 0.95x, and 0.05x was the discount.

Original price:

She got the discount amount of Rs 74.

74 is 5% of the original price, that is:

0.05x = 74

x = \frac{74}{0.05}

x = 1480

What price she purchased:

74 subtracted from the original price, that is, x - 74. So 1480 - 74 = 1406.

She purchased the item at a price of Rs 1,406.

A person traveling from Seattle to Sydney has three airlines to choose from. 40% of travelers choose airline A, and this airline
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

46.67% probability that they flew with airline B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

A 40% probability that a traveler chooses airline A.

A 35% probability that a traveled chooses airline B.

A 25% probability that a traveler chooses airline C.

If a passenger chooses airline A, a 10% probability that he arrives late.

If a passenger chooses airline B, a 15% probability that he arrives late.

If a passenger chooses airline C, a 8% probability that he arrives late.

If a randomly selected traveler is on a flight from Seattle which arrives late to Sydney, what is the probability that they flew with airline B?

This can be formulated as the following problem:

What is the probability of B happening, knowing that A has happened.

It can be calculated by the following formula

P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)}

Where P(B) is the probability of B happening, P(A/B) is the probability of A happening knowing that B happened and P(A) is the probability of A happening.

So

What is the probability that the traveler flew with airline B, given that he was late?

P(B) is the probability that he flew with airline B.

So P(B) = 0.35

P(A/B) is the probability of being late when traveling with airline B. So P(A/B) = 0.15.

P(A) is the probability of being late. This is the sum of 10% of 40%(airline A), 15% of 35%(airline B) and 8% of 25%(airline C).

So

P(A) = 0.1*0.4 + 0.15*0.35 + 0.08*0.25 = 0.1125

Probability

P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.35*0.15}{0.1125} = 0.4667

46.67% probability that they flew with airline B.

If a is three times b, b is twice c, and c is four times d, what is the value of a*c/b*d
dsp73

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

a=3b

b=2c

c=4d

a*c/b*d = (3(2(4d)))*(4d)/(2(4d))*d

            = 96d^2/8d^2

            = 12
