Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

C = 0.007x² − 2.8x + 100

There are two ways we can find the minimum. The first is by noticing that this is an upwards parabola, so the minimum is at the vertex. For y = ax² + bx + c, the vertex is at x = -b/(2a).

x = -(-2.8) / (2 × 0.007)

x = 200

Alternatively, we can minimize C using calculus. Take the derivative with respect to x and set to 0:

dC/dt = 0.014x − 2.8

0 = 0.014x − 2.8

x = 200

What is the radius of the following circle?

lara [203]

Answer:

The radius is: $2\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in center-radius form is:

$(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2$

Where the center is at the point (h, k) and the radius is "r".

So, given the equation of the circle:

$x^2+y^2=12$

You can identify that:

$r^2=12$

Then, solving for "r", you get that the radius of this circle is:

$r=\sqrt{12}\\\\r=2\sqrt{3}$

Of the following options, what could be a possible first step in solving the equation 3x − 1 = 2x + 4? Combining like terms, 3x

faust18 [17]

Subtracting 2x from both sides of the equation would be a reasonable first step in solving this equation as it properly combines like terms to the left side of the equation. It quickly shows that the next step would be adding 1 to both sides of the equation, which would have us arrive at the answer of x = 5.

Convert the mixed number 7 4/7 to a mixed decimal and round the nearest thousand

RideAnS [48]

Using a calculator, you can find out that $\sf{ \frac{4}{7}\approx 0.571428571 \approx.571$

and so that means $\sf{ 7\frac{4}{7}\approx 7.571428571 \approx 7.571$

so your answer is

$\sf{ 7\frac{4}{7} \approx \huge{\boxed{7.571}}$
