A medical equipment industry manufactures X-ray machines. The unit cost C (the cost in dollars to make each X-ray machine) depen

ds on the number of machines made. If X machines are made, then the unit cost is given by the function C (x) = 1.2x^2 -600x + 89,966. How many machines must be made to minimize the unit cost?

Answer:

x = 250 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We can easily solve this problem by using a graphing calculator or any plotting tool.

We must find the minimum point in the graph. This corresponds to the number of machines that produce the minimum cost.

The equation is

C (x) = 1.2x^2 -600x + 89,966

Please see attached image below

By producing x = 250 units, we obtain the minimum cost

What is the product of 8 and 90 what is the answer?
e-lub [12.9K]
The product of 8 and 90 is 720 because 0 x 8 is 0 and 9 x 8 is 72 so when you multiply the two together you get 720.

A sorority has 38 members, 28 of whom are full members and 10 are pledges. Two persons are selected at random from the membershi
butalik [34]

Answer:

(a) 185/703

(b) 518/703

(c) 45/703

(d) 140/703

(e) 140/703

(f) 378/703

(g) 185/703

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the event of pledge member be P and event of full member be F

(a)If the first is a pledge, then the second is either a pledge or a member.

required Probabability = [P n (PUF)]

= Pr(PnP) U Pr (PnF)

= 10/38 × 9/37 + 10/38 × 28/38

= 90/1406 + 289/1406 = 370/1406

= 185/703

(b) if the person selected is not a pledge then the person is a full member and the second is either a full member or pledge

The required probability = Fn(FUP) =Pr (FnP) U Pr(FnF)

= 28/38 × 10/37 + 28/38 × 27/37

= 280/1406 + 756/140 = 1036/1406

= 518/703

(c) probability required= Pr(P/P) = Pr(PnP) = 10/38 × 9/37

= 90/1406

= 45/703

(d) Probability required = Pr(F/P)

= Pr(P) nPr(F) = 10/38 × 28/37

= 280/1406

= 140/703

(e) Probability required = Pr(P/F)

= Pr(F) n Pr(P)

= 28/38 × 10/37 =280/1406

=140/704

(f) Probability required = Pr (FnF)

= Pr(F) n Pr(F)

= 28/38 × 27/37= 756/1406

= 378/703

(g) it is the either the first person is a pledge member or a full member

Probability required = Pr[(PnP) U (FnP)]

= Pr(PnP) + Pr(FnP)

= 10/38 × 9/37 + 28/38 × 10/37

= 90/1406 + 280/1406

= 370/1406

= 185/703

when making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, 96% of people put the peanut butter on first. write 96% as a decimal.
ikadub [295]
Drop the percent sign so that you only have 96 then divide by 100 to get the decimal (or move the decimal place to the left two).


96% --- drop the percent
96 ----- move the decimal place over to or divide by 100


96/100
96.0


.96

The diagram shows several planes, lines, and points.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The true statement is <u>Line h has points on planes R, P, and T</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The rest of the question is the attached figure

According to the graph, we will check which option is true.

a. Line h intersects line f at two points, A and B   (<u>Wrong</u>)

<u>Because</u>: h intersects line f at B only.

b. Line h is the intersection of planes R and T      (<u>Wrong</u>)

<u>Because</u>: g is the intersection of planes R and T

c. Line h intersects plane P at point C                   (<u>Wrong</u>)

<u>Because</u>: h intersects plane P at point B

d. Line h has points on planes R, P, and T             (<u>True</u>)        

<u>Because </u>h has the point B on the plane P, h has the point A on the plane T

and the points of h on the plane R

Daisy measured the heights of 20 plants.
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

  • 30.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Refer to attached</em>

  • Height of plants (h) >> Frequency >> Midpoint >> Frequency x midpoint
  • 0 <h < 10 >>  1  >> 5 >> 5
  • 10 <h < 20 >> 4 >> 15 >>  60
  • 20 <h < 30 >> 7 >> 25 >> 175
  • 30 <h < 40 >> 2 >> 35 >> 70
  • 40 <h < 50 >> 3 >> 45 >> 135
  • 50 <h < 60 >> 3 >> 55 >> 165

Sum of frequencies = 20

Sum of frequency x midpoint product = 610

<u>Mean height </u>

  • 610/20 = 30.5 cm
