Answer:

Answer  

Find out the what is the height of the building.

To prove

Let us assume that the height of the tree be x .

Let us assume that the shadow of the tree be y .

x = ky

Where k is the constant of proportionality.

As given

A 21 meter tall tree near a building casts a shadow that is 24 meters long.

21 = k × 24

k = 0.875

Let us assume that the height of the building be u .

As given

The building casts a shadow that is 56 meters long.

put values in the  x = ky

u = 0.875 × 56

u = 49 cm

Therefore the  height of the building is 49 cm .

Keegan is printing and selling his original design on t-shirts. He has concluded that for x shirts, in thousands sold his total
Katarina [22]

Answer:

t-shirts: 2790

profit: $12209

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  the function:

p(x) = -x³ + 4x² + x

we want to maximize it.

The following criteria must be satisfied at the maximum:

dp/dx = 0

d²p/dx² < 0

dp/dx = -3x² + 8x + 1 = 0

Using quadratic formula:

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4(a)(c)}}{2(a)}

x = \frac{-8 \pm \sqrt{8^2 -4(-3)(1)}}{2(-3)}

x = \frac{-8 \pm 8.72}{-6}

x_1 = \frac{-8 + 8.72}{-6}

x_1 = -0.12

x_2 = \frac{-8 - 8.72}{-6}

x_2 = 2.79

d²p/dx² = -6x + 8

d²p/dx² at x = -0.12: -6(-0.12) + 8 = 8.72 > 0

d²p/dx² at x = 2.79: -6(2.79) + 8 = -8.74 < 0

Then, he should prints 2.79 thousands, that is, 2790 t-shirts to make maximum profits.

Replacing into profit equation:

p(x) = -(2.79)³ + 4(2.79)² + 2.79 =  12.209

that is, $12209

Multiply 4x(-3x - 5)
Scilla [17]
Using the distributive property the product is -12x-20. To distribute you take the numbers and or variables outside of the paranthesis and multiply it by each one in the parenthesis  such that 4x is multiplied by -3x getting -12x and multiplying 4x by -5 and the product is -20x and all together the answer is -12x-20

M (Mean) = 20,500;
SD (Standard Deviation) = 55
1 ) 20,555 = 20,500 + 55 = M + 1 SD
Answer: 50% + 34.1% = 84.1%
2 ) 20.610 = 20,000 + 110 = M + 2 SD
Answer: 10% - ( 50% + 34.1% + 13.6% ) = 100% - 97.7% = 2.3% 
3 ) 20,445 = 20,500 - 55 = M - 1 SD
Answer: 50% - 34.1% = 15.9%
