Answer: desktop = $1750, laptop = $1900

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x represent the cost of the desktop

then x + 150 is the cost of the laptop.

.07x + .055(x + 150) = 227

.07x + .055x + 8.25 = 227

.125x = 218.75

x = 1750

desktop (x) = $1750

laptop (x + 150) = $1750 + $150 = $1900

Which of the statements are true about the function f given by f(x) = 100-e? Select all that apply.
tatiyna

From the above function, it is clear that the value of f is never 0. Hence the statement that is true is (Option E), See explanation of same below.

<h3>What is the explanation for the above function?</h3>

Note that the function is related to Euler's number which is depicted as:
e ≈ 2.7182. The function is given as:

f(x) = 100 * e^{-x}

Assuming x = -2, we'd have:

100 * 2.7182^{-2}

= 271.82^{-2}

= 0.00001353354

Hence, even when x tends < 0 the function f(x) thus, is never 0. See the attached graph for confirmation.

Jason inherited a piece of land from his great-uncle. Owners in the area claim that there is a 45% chance that the land has oil.
Licemer1 [7]
So,

We are trying to find the compound probability of there BEING oil and the test predicting NO oil.

The percent chance of there actually being oil is 45%.  We can convert this into fraction form and simplify it.

45% --> \frac{45}{100}

\frac{45}{100}--\ \textgreater \  \frac{3*3*5}{2*2*5*5}

\frac{3*3*5}{2*2*5*5}--\ \textgreater \ \frac{3*3}{2*2*5}

\frac{3*3}{2*2*5}--\ \textgreater \  \frac{9}{20}

That is the simplified fraction form.

The kit has an 80% accuracy rate.  Since we are assuming that the land has oil, we need the probability that the kit predicts no oil.  

The probability that the kit detects no oil will be the chance that the kit is not accurate, which is 20% (100 - 80 = 20).  We can also convert this into fraction form and simplify it.

20% --> \frac{20}{100}

\frac{20}{100}--\ \textgreater \ \frac{2}{10}

\frac{2}{10}--\ \textgreater \ \frac{1}{5}

That is the probability of the kit not being accurate (not predicting any oil).

To find the compound probability of there being oil and the kit not predicting any oil, we simply multiply both fractions together.

\frac{9}{20}*\frac{1}{5}

\frac{9}{20*5}

\frac{9}{100}

So the probability of there BEING oil and the kit predicting NO oil is 9 in 100 chances.
