Answer:

B : a 20% increase in variable costs

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the industry is seeing a 20% increase in activity levels over the fourth quarter. Since, there has been an increase in activity levels the fixed cost would remain the same but the variable cost being variable would increase with increase in production activity in same proportion as the increase in production.

B : a 20% increase in variable costs

Erik and Caleb were trying to solve the equation: 0=(3x+2)(x-4) Erik said, "The right-hand side is factored, so I'll use the zer
Mumz [18]

Answer:

C) Both

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

0=(3x+2)(x-4)

To solve the given equation, we can use the Zero Product Property according to which if the product <em>A.B = 0</em>, then either A = 0 OR B = 0.

Using this property:

(3x+2) = 0 \Rightarrow \bold{x = -\frac{2}{3}}\\(x-4) = 0 \Rightarrow \bold{x = 4}

So, Erik's solution strategy would work.

Now, let us discuss about Caleb's solution strategy:

Multiply (3x+2)(x-4) i.e. 3x^2-12x+2x-8 = 3x^2-10x-8

So, the equation becomes:

0=3x^2-10x-8

Comparing this equation to standard quadratic equation:

ax^2+bx+c=0

a = 3, b = -10, c = -8

So, this can be solved using the quadratic formula.

x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

x=\dfrac{-(-10)\pm\sqrt{(-10)^2-4\times3 \times (-8)}}{2\times 3}\\x=\dfrac{-(-10)\pm\sqrt{196}}{6}\\x=\dfrac{10\pm14}{6} \\\Rightarrow x= 4, -\dfrac{2}{3}

The answer is same from both the approaches.

So, the correct answer is:

C) Both

In the diagram, point C represents the center of the sphere. Diego says that the part of the sphere labeled D is the radius. Gre
Katen [24]

Answer:

Gregoire is correct; the diameter is a chord that passes through the center of the sphere.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sphere is a geometrical shape formed from a circle. Some of its parts are: diameter, center, radius circumference, etc.

The center of a sphere is a point at its middle. The diameter is a straight line, e.g a chord, that is drawn from one point on the circumference of a sphere to another point and passes through its center. While radius is a line that is from the center of the sphere to a point on its circumference.

A diameter is twice of a radius, so that:

                            Radius = \frac{Diameter}{2}

⇒                        Diameter = 2 × Radius

Therefore with respect to the question, Gregoire is correct because a diameter is a chord that passes through the center of the sphere.
