To open a combination lock, you turn the dial to the right and stop at a number; then you turn it to the left and stop at a seco

nd number. Finally, you turn the dial back to the right and stop at a third number. If you used the correct sequence of numbers, the lock opens. If the dial of the lock contains 12 numbers, 0 through 11, determine the number of different combinations possible for the lock. Note: The same number can be reused consecutively.

Answer:

  • <em>Number of different combinations possible:</em> <u>1,728.</u>

Explanation:

The fundamental principle of counting establises tha if there are A ways to perform an action, B way to perform a second independent action, and C ways of performin a third independent action, then the number of ways to perform the three actions is equal to the product A × B × C.

<em>To open the combination lock,</em> you:

  • First number (<em>turn the dial to the right and stop at a number</em>): there are 12 different options for the first number.

  • Second number (<em>turn the dial to the left and stop at a second number</em>): there are also 12 different options for the second number.

  • Third number (<em>turn the dial back to the righ and stop at a third number</em>): again, 12 different options for the third number.

<em>Number of different combinations possible</em>: 12 × 12 × 12 = <u>1,728</u>.

The cost C in dollars of manufacturing x bicycles at a production plant is given by the function shown below.
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

  • Minimum 100 bicycles
  • Minimum cost is 13500

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given function:</u>

  • C(x) = 3x^2- 600x + 43500

a.

Minimum cost is obtained at vertex.

Vertex is determined by formula x = -b/2a, in standard form of

f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c

<u>Vertex of the given function is:</u>

  • x = -(-600)/(2*3) = 100

b.

<u>Cost at vertex is:</u>

  • C(100) = 3*100^2 - 600*100 + 43500 = 13500
