Answer:

The most tickets were written on Saturday .On Saturday 325 tickets were issued

Step-by-step explanation:

The average number of traffic tickets issued in a city on any given day Sunday-Saturday can be approximated by

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37$

Where x represents the number of days after Sunday

T(x) represents the number of traffic tickets issued.

Sunday = x=0

Monday = x=1

Tuesday = x=2

Wednesday = x=3

Thursday = x =4

Friday = x=5

Saturday = x=6

Substitute x= 0

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(0)^2 + 84(0) + 37\\T(x)=37$

On Sunday 37 tickets were issued

Substitute x= 1

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(1)^2 + 84(1) + 37\\T(x)=115$

On Monday 115 tickets were issued

Substitute x= 2

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(2)^2 + 84(2) + 37\\T(x)=181$

On Tuesday 181 tickets were issued

Substitute x= 3

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(3)^2 + 84(3) + 37\\T(x)=235$

On Wednesday 235 tickets were issued

Substitute x= 4

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(4)^2 + 84(4) + 37\\T(x)=277$

On Thursday 277 tickets were issued

Substitute x= 5

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(5)^2 + 84(5) + 37\\T(x)=307$

On Friday 307 tickets were issued

Substitute x= 6

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(6)^2 + 84(6) + 37\\T(x)=325$

On Saturday 325 tickets were issued

Hence the most tickets were written on Saturday .On Saturday 325 tickets were issued

A rectangular playground is surrounded by a chain link fence that costs $2 per linear foot on three sides and a fancier wooden f

NARA [144]

Answer:

31.6 feet by 15.8 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a Rectangle = Length X Breadth = LB

The area of the playground is to be 500 square feet

Therefore:

LB=500

Perimeter of the Rectangle = 2(L+B)

The Chain link fence that costs $2 per linear foot on three sides and a fancier wooden fence that costs $6 per linear foot on the fourth side.

Cost = ${2(L+2B)+6L}=2L+4B+6L=8L+4B

Cost= $(8L+4B)

From: LB=500, B=500/L

Substitute B into 8L+4B

C(L) = $8L+4(\frac{500}{L} )=8L+\frac{2000}{L} =\frac{8L^2+2000}{L}$

C(L)= $\frac{8L^2+2000}{L}$

The minimum cost of the fencing occurs when the dimensions are minimum.

If we take the derivative of C(L)

$C^{'}(L)=\frac{8L^2-2000}{L^2}$

At $C^{'}(L)=0$

$\frac{8L^2-2000}{L^2}=0\\8L^2-2000=0\\8L^2=2000\\L^2=250\\L=15.8 ft$

Recall: B=500/L

$B=\frac{500}{15.8}=31.6 ft$

The dimensions that minimizes the total cost of the fencing are 31.6 feet by 15.8 feet.

A line segment on a number line has its endpoints at -9 and 6. Find the coordinate of the midpoint of the segment.. . A. 1.5. *

Lyrx [107]

By definition, the midpoint is given by:
$m = (\frac{x1+x2}{2}, \frac{y1+y2}{2})$

Part A:
For the line segment we have:
$m = \frac{-9+6}{2}$
$m= \frac{-3}{2}$
$m = -1.5$
Answer:
the coordinate of the midpoint of the segment is:
B. -1.5

Part B:
For line segment HX we have:
$m = (\frac{-1+7}{2}, \frac{3-1}{2})$
$m = (\frac{6}{2}, \frac{2}{2})$
$m = (3,1)$
Answer:
the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment is:
A. (3,1)
