Answer:

a) Discrete

b) Continuous

c) Continuous

d) Discrete

e) Continous

Step-by-step explanation:

Continuous:

Real numbers, can be integer, decimal, etc.

Discrete:

Only integer(countable values). So can be 0,1,2...

(a) number of traffic fatalities per year in the state of Florida

You cannot have half of a traffic fatality, for example. So this is discrete

(b) distance a golf ball travels after being hit with a driver

The ball can travel 10.25m, for example, which is a decimal number. So this is continuous.

(c) time required to drive from home to college on any given day

You can take 10.5 minutes, for example, which is a decimal value. So this is continuous.

(d) number of ships in Pearl Harbor on any given day

There is no half ship, for example. So this is discrete.

(e) your weight before breakfast each morning continuous discrete

You can weigh 80.4kg, for example, which is a decimal number. So this is continuous.

TechWiz Electronics makes a profit of $35 for each MP3 player sold and $18 for each DVD player sold. Last week, TechWiz sold a c
Svetllana [295]

Let x be the number of MP3 players TechWiz sold last week.

If TechWiz sold in total 130 MP3 and DVD players, then it sold (130-x) DVD players.

1. TechWiz Electronics makes a profit of $35 for each MP3 player sold, then it makes a profit $35x for x MP3 players sold.

2. TechWiz Electronics makes a profit of  $18 for each DVD player sold , then it makes a profit $18(130-x) for (130-x) DVD players sold.

3. An expression for the combined total profit (in dollars) TechWiz made from MP3 and DVD players last week is

35x+18(130-x).

You can simplify it:

35x+2,340-18x=17x+2,340

Answer: 35x+18(130-x) or 17x+2,340

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say n the number

\dfrac{2}{3} *n^2-7=17\\\Longrightarrow\ \dfrac{2}{3} *n^2=24\\\Longrightarrow\ n^2=\dfrac{3*24}{2}\\\Longrightarrow\ n^2=36\\\Longrightarrow\ (n-6)(n+6)=0\\\\n=6\ or\ n=-6\\
