Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer: 1/2

Discussion:

Note that:

16 /2 = 8 (the next term in the sequence)

8 /2 = 4 (the next term in the sequence)

4 /2 = 2 (the next term in the sequence)

We are repeatedly multiplying by 1/2

Thank you,

MrB

Answer:

$BC=15\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

In the right triangle ABC

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$AB^2=AC^2+BC^2$

substitute the given values

$17^2=8^2+BC^2$

solve for BC

$BC^2=17^2-8^2$

$BC^2=225$

$BC=15\ units$

Aleena expands 2xx+3-5(x-2) as 2x2+3-5x-10. Has she expanded it correctly? Please identify the mistakes and write the correct wa

Nimfa-mama [501]

The given expression is :

2xx+3-5(x-2)

We know that, $x{\cdot}x=x^2$

$=2x^2+3-5(x-2)\\\\=2x^2+3+(-5)(x)+(-5)(-2)\\\\=2x^2+3-5x+10$

Aleena expands 2xx+3-5(x-2) as 2x²+3-5x-10. She is mistaken because the sign before 10 should be +10 instead of -10. Hence, the correct expanded form is 2x²+3-5x+10. Hence, this is the required solution.

Given the cost function C(x) = 0.81x + 60, 420 and the revenue function R(x) = 1.87x, find the break-even point

Viktor [21]

Answer:

x = 57,542.8571

Step-by-step explanation:

C(x) = 0.81x + 60,420

R(x) = 1.87x

At break even point, Cost function and revenue function becomes equal.

-> C(x) = R(x)

-> 0.81x + 60,420 = 1.87x

-> 60420 = 1.87x - 0.82x

-> 60420 = 1.05x

-> x = 60420/1.05

-> x = 57,542.8571

Thus, at break even point x = 57,542.8571
