Answer:

The Company AB must sell 116 computers to break even

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$R(x)=1.5x$ -----> equation A

$C(x)=145+\frac{1}{4}x$ ----> equation B

where

C is the cost function

R is the revenue function

x is the number of computers sold

we know that

Break even is when the cost is equal to the revenue

equate equation A and equation B

$1.5x=145+\frac{1}{4}x$

Solve for x

subtract 1/4x both sides

$1.5x-\frac{1}{4}x=145$

$1.5x-0.25x=145$

$1.25x=145$

Divide by 1.25 both sides

$x=116$

therefore

The Company AB must sell 116 computers to break even

Solve for w s=w-10e ------- m

polet [3.4K]

First, multiply both sides by m:
s*m = w - 10e
Then add 10e to both sides to isolate w:
s*m + 10e = w
or
w = s*m + 10e

Two groups of students were asked how far they lived from their school. The table below shows the distances in miles

leonid [27]

Group A (distance in miles) 1 1.5 3.03 3.2 2.8 1.5 1.8 2.5 2.2
Group B (distance in miles) 2 2.5 3.23 1.3 1.8 2.4 3 1.5 1.8

Group A mean = (1 + 1.5 + 3.03 + 3.2 + 2.8 + 1.5 + 1.8 + 2.5 + 2.2)/9 = 19.53/9 = 2.17
Group B mean = (2 + 2.5 + 3.23 + 1.3 + 1.8 + 2.4 + 3 + 1.5 + 1.8)/9 = 19.53/9 = 2.17

Therefore, the mean is equal for Group A and Group B.

1.) Reduction

As you can see Triangle A was reduced in size as a result of Triangle B

2.) Enlargement

Square A is much smaller than square B, making this an enlargement

3.) Enlargement

The quadrilateral shown here gets larger with quadrilateral B

4.) Reduction

This object gets vividly smaller as shown on the graph, making it a reduction

What is the distance between (3, 5.25) and (3, –8.75)? 6 units 8.25 units 11.75 units 14 units

evablogger [386]

By using distance formula :

$\text{Distance formula,} \bold{ \boxed{ Distance = \sqrt{( x_{2} -x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2} - y_{1})^{2}) }}}$

Given points = ( 3 , 5.25 ) and ( 3 , - 8.75 )

$\bold{Taking \: \: \: x_{1}=3 \: \: , \: \: x_{2}= 3 \: \: , \: \: y_{1}= 5.25 \: \: , \: \: y_{2}= -8.75}$

On applying formula, we get

$Distance = \sqrt{ ( x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2} \\ \\ \\ Distance = \sqrt{ ( 3 - 3 )^{2} + ( - 8.75 - 5.25 )^{2}} \\ \\ \\ Distance = \sqrt{ ( 0 )^{2} + ( - 14)^{2}} \\ \\ \\ Distance = \sqrt{ ( - 14 )^{2}} \\ \\ \\ Distance = \sqrt{ 14^{2}} \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: | \bold{ ( - 14 )^{2} = 14^{2}} \\ \\ \\ Distance = {14}^{2 \times \frac{1}{2} } \\ \\ \\ Distance = {14}^{1} \\ \\ \\ Distance = 14 \: units$

Hence, Option D is correct.
