The profit function for the first version of the device was very similar to the profit function for the new version. As a matter

of fact, the profit function for the first version is a transformation of the profit function for the new version. For the value x = 40, the original profit function is half the size of the new profit function. Write two function transformations in terms of P(x) that could represent the original profit function.

Answer:

a) - Compressing the P(new) function by a scale of 0.5 about the y axis.

- Moving the P(new) function down by 104 units.

b) The two simplified functions for P(original)

-0.08x² + 10.8x – 200.

-0.16x² + 21.6x – 504.

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question

An electronics manufacturer recently created a new version of a popular device. It also created this function to represent the profit, P(x), in tens of thousands of dollars, that the company will earn based on manufacturing x thousand devices: P(x) = -0.16x² + 21.6x – 400.

a. The profit function for the first version of the device was very similar to the profit function for the new version. As a matter of fact, the profit function for the first version is a transformation of the profit function for the new version. For the value x = 40, the original profit function is half the size of the new profit function. Write two function transformations in terms of P(x) that could represent the original profit function.

b. Write the two possible functions from part a in simplified form.

Solution

The equation for the new profit function is

P(x) = -0.16x² + 21.6x – 400

At x = 40, the original profit function is half the size of the new profit function

First, we find the value of the new profit function at x = 40

P(x) = -0.16(40)² + 21.6(40) – 400 = 208

Half of 208 = 0.5 × 208 = 104

P(original at x = 40) = P(new at x = 40) ÷ 2

Since we are told that P(original) is a simple transformation of the P(new)

P(original) = P(new)/2 = (-0.16x² + 21.6x – 400)/2 = -0.08x² + 10.8x – 200 ... (eqn 1)

Or, P(original) = 104

-0.16x² + 21.6x – 400 = 104

P(original) = -0.16x² + 21.6x – 400 - 104 = -0.16x² + 21.6x – 504.

So, the two functions that are simple transformations of P(new) to get P(original) are

-0.08x² + 10.8x – 200

Obtained by compressing the P(new) function by a scale of 0.5 about the y axis.

And

-0.16x² + 21.6x – 504.

Obtained by moving the P(new) function down by 104 units.

Hope this Helps!!!

A, B & C lie on a straight line.
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

x = 129°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ ABD and ∠ DBC are a linear pair and sum to 180° , then

y + ∠ DBC = 180°

107° + ∠ DBC = 180° ( subtract 107° from both sides )

∠ DBC = 73°

the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles , then

x = ∠ DBC + z = 73° + 56° = 129°

Liula [17]

Answer:

Adult required in the case of “a” 28 and in the case of “b” the adult requirement is 19.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The percentage of adult that support the change is 20 percent.

Now calculate the number of adult required.

Given p = 0.20

Use the below condition:

np(1 – p) \geq 10 \\n \times 0.20 (1 – 0.20) = 10 \\n = 63 round off

Since 35 adults are already there so required adults are 63 -35 = 28

(b) The percentage of adult that support the change is 25 percent.

Now calculate the number of adult required.

Given p = 0.25

Use the below condition:

np(1 – p) \geq 10 \\n \times 0.25 (1 – 0.25) = 10 \\n = 54 (round off)

Since 35 adults are already there so required adults are 54 -35 = 19 .
