Answer:

The correct option is D) 1,600.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Half of the 2,400 first-year students at Red State University take calculus and half do not.

That means 1200 students take only English.

One-third of those who take Calculus also take English Composition, we can say

1200 take calculus and one third of it is: \frac{1200}{3}=400

400 take Calculus also take English Composition.

Thus, the total number of students taking English Composition = 400 + 1200 = 1600

Hence, the correct option is D) 1,600.

Suppose that for a certain company ​C(x)=35x+300,000 represents the total cost​ function, and ​R(x)=75x represents the total rev
enyata [817]

Answer:

40x - 300,000

7,500

Step-by-step explanation:

profit  = revenue - cost

p(x) = 75x - (35x + 300,000)

p(x) = 40x - 300,000

Break even is when profit is zero

40x - 300,000 = 0

40x = 300,000

x = 7,500

Which graph represents the solution to the given system ? Y=- 6X - 2Y +2=- 6X
Nonamiya [84]

Answer: The graph is attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

Given the first equation:

y=- 6x - 2

You can identify that:

m=-6\\b=-2

 By definition, the line intersects the x-axis when y=0. Then, subsituting this value into the equation and solving for "x", you get that the x-intercept is:

0=- 6x - 2\\\\2=-6x\\\\x=-\frac{1}{3}\\\\x=-0.333

Now you can graph it.

Solve for "y" from the second equation:

y +2=- 6x\\\\y=-6x-2

 You can identify that:

m=-6\\b=-2

Notice that the slopes and the y-intercepts of the first line and the second line are equal; this means that they are exactly the same line and the System of equations  has<u> Infinitely many solutions.</u>

See the graph attached.

What is the exact volume of the cone
Travka [436]

Answer:

V = \frac{400}{3}\pi

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cone is:

V = \pi r^{2} \frac{h}{3}

Substitute values given:

V = \pi (5^{2} )(\frac{16}{3})

V = \pi (25)(\frac{16}{3} )

V = \pi \frac{400}{3}

V = \frac{400}{3}\pi

Mila has 100 math problems to finish this week, She solved 2/10 of the problems on Monday and 25/100 of the problems on Tuesday.
Umnica [9.8K]
Mila solved more problems on Tuesday.

Explanation:

2/10 = 20/100
25/100 = 25/100
Since 25 is more than 20, she did more problems on Tuesday
