The is the mean score ? A.25.5 B.26 C.

pentagon [3]

So to find the mean you add up all the numbers (or the exam scores) which will get you 212 then you take the number and divide it by the total numbers in the set (how many numbers did you add up?)

212 divided by 8 is 26.5 which would be C. I hope this helps!

QUESTION 3 [10 MARKS] A bakery finds that the price they can sell cakes is given by the function p = 580 − 10x where x is the nu

Andru [333]

Answer:

(a)Revenue=580x-10x²,

Marginal Revenue=580-20x

(b)Fixed Cost, =900

Marginal Cost,=300+50x

(c)Profit Function=280x-900-35x²

(d)x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

The price, p = 580 − 10x where x is the number of cakes sold per day.

Total cost function,c = (30+5x)²

(a) Revenue Function

R(x)=x*p(x)=x(580 − 10x)

R(x)=580x-10x²

Marginal Revenue Function

This is the derivative of the revenue function.

If R(x)=580x-10x²,

R'(x)=580-20x

(b)Total cost function,c = (30+5x)²

c=(30+5x)(30+5x)

=900+300x+25x²

Therefore, Fixed Cost, =900

Marginal Cost Function

This is the derivative of the cost function.

If c(x)=900+300x+25x²

Marginal Cost, c'(x)=300+50x

(c)Profit Function

Profit, P(x)=R(x)-C(x)

=(580x-10x²)-(900+300x+25x²)

=580x-10x²-900-300x-25x²

P(x)=280x-900-35x²

(d)To maximize profit, we take the derivative of P(x) in (c) above and solve for its critical point.

Since P(x)=280x-900-35x²

P'(x)=280-70x

Equate the derivative to zero

280-70x=0

280=70x

x=4

The number of cakes that maximizes profit is 4.

Emma is making a recipe that needs 2 1/2 cups of sugar. Each

IrinaVladis [17]

The given partial fraction divided by the fraction of sugar in a scoop is

equal to multiplying the partial fraction by the reciprocal of the fraction.

The number of scoops of sugar needed is <u>10 scoops</u>.

Reasons:

The amount of sugar the recipe Emma is making needs = 2 1/2 cups

Amount of sugar in each scoop of sugar = 1/4 cups

Required:

The amount of scoops Emma needs to add for the entire recipe

Solution:

The amount of sugar needed = 2 1/2 cups

Amount of sugar per scoop = 1/4 cups/scoop

Therefore;

$\displaystyle Number \ of \ scoops = \mathbf{\frac{Cups \ of \ sugar \ needed}{Cups \ of \ of \ sugar \ per \ scoop}}$

Which gives;

$\displaystyle Number \ of \ scoops \ needed = \mathbf{\frac{2 \frac{1}{2} \ cups \ of \ sugar }{\frac{1}{4} \ cups \ of \ sugar \ per \ scoop}}$

$\displaystyle 2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2}$

$\displaystyle \frac{ \frac{5}{2}}{\frac{1}{4} } = \mathbf{ \frac{5}{2} \times \frac{4}{1} = \frac{20}{2 }} = 10$

Therefore;

$\displaystyle Number \ of \ scoops \ needed = \mathbf{\frac{2 \frac{1}{2} \ cups \ of \ sugar }{\frac{1}{4} \ cups \ of \ sugar \ per \ scoop}} = 10 \, scoops$

The number of scoops she needs for the entire recipe is <u>10 scoops</u>

Step-by-step explanation: What they mean is if you were to say put all that data onto a graph, any kind of graph. What graph would you chose, and why? How you would work through this kind of problem, or at least how I would approach it weight out the pros and cons of each graph, or put some data on different graphs and see what works best. On the contrary if you have a rough idea of how each graph would look like you would just chose the one you think conveys the information best. I think they're is a best answer, but no wrong answer, you can make an argument for most graphs if you try, so just chose the one you think is best, and write your reasoning.

1. Pilar and her sister Marisol live near the beach. Pilar has 80 seashells in her collection when Marisol started collecting se

jeka94

Answer:

a. 20x > 10x + 80

b. •20x > 10x + 80

• Subtract 10x from both sides: 20x -10x > 10x + 80 - 10x

• Simplify: 10x > 80

• Divide both sides by 10: 10x/10 > 80/10

• Simplify: x > 8

Step-by-step explanation:

10x + 80 = number of seashells Pilar has.

20x = number of seashells Marisol has.

answer for a: 20x > 10x + 80

answer for b: 20x > 10x + 80

• Subtract 10x from both sides: 20x -10x > 10x + 80 - 10x

• Simplify: 10x > 80

• Divide both sides by 10: 10x/10 > 80/10

• Simplify: x > 8
