Explanation:
Let's check each of the given choices:
Choice A:
The maximum profit occurs at the peak of the parabola given. Reading the graph, we can find that the maximum profit is about 18,000.
Therefore, this choice is not correct

Choice B:
The x-axis represents the number of clerks. We can note that for 20 or more, the value of the profit is decreasing. This means that the store is losing money.
Therefore, this choice is correct

Choice C:
To know whether the store earns profit when no clerks are working or not, we will need to read the value of the y-axis (profit) when the x-axis (clerks) is zero. Doing this, we will find that no profit is earned when no clerks are working.
Therefore, this choice is not correct

Choice D:
Maximum profit occurs at the peak of the parabola given. Therefore, to know the number of clerks corresponding to the maximum profit, we will need to read the x-value of the peak of the parabola. Doing this, we will find that maximum profit occurs when the number of clerks is 10.
Therefore, this choice is not correct.

Choice E:
Maximum profit occurs at the peak of the parabola given. Therefore, to know the number of clerks corresponding to the maximum profit, we will need to read the x-value of the peak of the parabola. Doing this, we will find that maximum profit occurs when the number of clerks is 10.
Therefore, this choice is correct

Hope this helps :)

A 16 kg bag of watermelon for $8 per kg
Zarrin [17]
To solve this all we need to do is multiply. 

Since 1 kg is for $8, then we will multiply to see how much 16 kg would be for.

16 × 8 = 128

So, 16 kg is for $128.

In a research laboratory, a scientist measures the mass of a 1-carat diamond and finds it to be 200 milligrams, measured to the
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

D=3.5\ gr/cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Density</u>

The density of an object of mass m and volume V is given by

\displaystyle D=\frac{m}{V}

It can be expressed in common units like gr/lt, Kg/m^3, gr/cm^3 or any other combination of proper mass [M] by volume [V] units.

The data provided in the question is

m=200\ mg = 0.2\ gr

V=0.057\ cm^3

Thus, the measured density is

\displaystyle D=\frac{0.2\ gr}{0.057 \ cm^3}

\boxed{D=3.5\ gr/cm^3}

We have expressed the result with 1 decimal place because the mass was measured to the nearest hundred milligrams (or one-tenth grams). Any further decimal is senseless because that precision comes from calculations, not from measurements.

Hey plsss help meeeeee
nalin [4]

Answer:

The first, third, and fourth answer choices represent a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

A relation is a relationship between sets of values. The two quantities that are being related to each other are the input (x-variable) and the output (y-variable). But relations in general aren't always a good way to relate between x and y.

Say that I have situation where I want to give <em>x </em>dollars to the cashier so he can change them to <em>y</em> quarters. Here is a "example" of the relation:

Dollars (x) | Quarters (y)            

----------------------------------              

       0       |          0                      

        1       |          4                      

       2       |          8

       2       |          12

Do you see something wrong here? Yes! We all know that you can't exchange 2 dollars for 12 quarters. You can only exchange 2 dollars for 8 quarters and only 8 quarters. This is a general reason why we don't rely on general relations for real-life situations. One x-variable does not exactly map to one and only one y-variable.

However, a relation that can map one x-variable to one and only one y-variable is known as a function. Let's make the above example an actual function to prove a point:

Dollars (x) | Quarters (y)            

----------------------------------              

       0       |          0                      

        1       |          4                      

       2       |          8

       3       |          12

Now, the 3 dollars make 12 quarters as it should. This is how a function should look like.

There are two ways to check if a relation is a function. On a relation, table, or a set of ordered pairs, you have to make sure there is no "x-variable" that repeats. All x-values of a relation have to be unique in order to be a function. On a graph, you can also perform the Vertical Line Test. If you draw vertical lines over a relation and if the lines cross only once, then it is a function. If not, it fails the Vertical Line Test.

So to answer you're question, the first, third, and fourth choices are functions because they all have unique x-variables. The second choice is not a function because it fails the Vertical Line Test.
