Answer:

The number of software programs per week to maximize the profit should be 200 and the number of video games per week to maximize the profit should be 225

Step-by-step explanation:        

Let

x ----> the number of software programs per week to maximize the profit

y ----> the number of video games per week to maximize the profit

we know that

x \leq 200 ---> inequality A

y \leq 300 ---> inequality B

x+y \leq 425 ---> inequality C

Remember that

The profit P is equal to

P=50x+35y ----> equation D

Solve the system of inequalities by graphing

The solution is the shaded area

see the attached figure

The vertices of the shaded area are

(0,0), (125,300),(200,225),(200,0)

Substitute the value of x and the value of y of each vertices in the equation D (Profit) to determine how many items of each kind should be produced per week in order to maximize the profit

For (0,0) ----> P=50(0)+35(0)=\$0

For (125,300) ----> P=50(125)+35(300)=\$16,750

For (200,225) ----> P=50(200)+35(225)=\$17,875

For (200,0) ----> P=50(200)+35(0)=\$10,000

therefore

The point that maximize the profit is (200,225)

The number of software programs per week to maximize the profit should be 200 and the number of video games per week to maximize the profit should be 225

About 7% of the population has a particular genetic mutation. 400 people are randomly selected. Find the standard deviation for
Deffense [45]

Answer:

5.10 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to Find the standard deviation for the number of people with the genetic mutation

Using this formula

Standard deviation = √ ( n * p * q)

Where,

n = 400

p = .07

q = 100%-7% = 93% or .93

Let plug in the formula

Standard deviation =√400*07*.93

Standard deviation =√26.04

Standard deviation = 5.10 people

Therefore the standard deviation for the number of people with the genetic mutation is 5.10 people.

What is the true solution to the logarithmic equation below?<br> log₂ (6x)-log₂ (√x)=2
slega [8]

Answer:

The true solution is x=4/9

EXPLANATION

The logarithmic equation given to us is

We need to use the quotient rule of logarithms.

When we apply this law the expression becomes

We now take the antilogarithm of both sides to get

We square both sides to get,

We evaluate to obtain,

This simplifies to

We divide both sides by 36 to get

We simplify to get,
