You are having a conference call with the CEO of a paper company. You have interpreted the number of trees cut down versus profi

t as the function P(x)=-x^4+x^3+7x^2-x-6. Describe to the CEO what the graph looks like. Use complete sentences & focus on the end behaviors of the graph and where the company will break even (where P(x) = 0).

The graph has domain x ∈ ( 0 , +∞ )
It is first increasing and then decreasing. It has a local minimum and a global maximum.
- x^4 + x³ + 7 x² - x - 6 = ( x - 1 ) ( x + 1 ) ( x + 2 ) ( 3 - x )
The company will break even when P ( x ) = 0
The zeroes are:  x 1 = 1,  x 2 = 3
The company has a profit when:  x  ∈ ( 1, 3 )

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

There are 220 choices

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

People = 12

Selection =3 (President, Treasurer and Secretary)

Required

Determine number of selection (if no restriction)

This is calculated using the following combination formula:

^nC_r = \frac{n!}{(n - r)!r!}

Where

n = 12

r= 3

So, we have:

^nC_r = \frac{n!}{(n - r)!r!}

^{12}C_3 = \frac{12!}{(12 - 3)!3!}

^{12}C_3 = \frac{12!}{9!3!}

^{12}C_3 = \frac{12*11*10*9!}{9!3!}

^{12}C_3 = \frac{12*11*10}{3!}

^{12}C_3 = \frac{12*11*10}{3*2*1}

^{12}C_3 = \frac{12*11*10}{6}

^{12}C_3 = 2*11*10

^{12}C_3 = 220\ ways

John wants to measure the width of a stream using the methods he has learned in geometry. He puts a stake in the ground opposite
otez555 [7]

John's method to determine the width of the stream uses the knowledge

that the tangent of 60° is approximately 1.7.

The proper sequence John would use to find the width of the stream are;

  • Step 1; <u>John</u><u> drives a stake opposite the tree to establish a line between two points</u>

  • Step 2; <u>John uses a </u><u>compass </u><u>to walk away from the stakes at a right angle</u>

  • Step 3; <u>On the path John walks until he finds a </u><u>line </u><u>of sight to the tree that equals 60 degrees</u>

  • Step 4; <u>John drives a second </u><u>stake </u><u>in the ground</u>

  • Step 5; <u>John measures the the </u><u>distance </u><u>between the two stakes</u>

  • Step 6; <u>John </u><u>multiplies </u><u>the distance between the two stakes by</u><u> 1.7</u><u> to find the distance</u>.

Reasons:

The steps that can be used to measure the width of the stream are;

Step 1: Drive a stake opposite the tree on the other side of the stream.

Step 2: With the aid of a compass, walk at right angles to the line formed by the stake and the tree.

Step 3; Keep walking along the previous path till a point is reached where the angle formed between the line of site to the tree and the walk path is 60°.

Step 4; At the point where the line of sight to the tree is 60°, a second stake is driven in the ground.

Step 5; Measure the distance between the stakes that are placed in the ground.

Step 6; Given that by trigonometry, the ratio of the width of the stream to the distance between the two stakes is tan(60°) ≈ 1.7, multiply the distance between the two stakes by 1.7 to find the width of the stream.

\displaystyle tan(60^{\circ}) = \mathbf{\frac{Width \ of \ stream}{Distance \ between \ stakes}}

<em>The possible question options are;</em>

<em>John measures the the distance between the two stakes</em>

<em>John uses a compass to walk away from the stakes at a right angle</em>

<em>John multiplies the distance between the two stakes by 1.7 to find the distance</em>

<em>John drives a second stake in the ground</em>

<em>On the path John walks until he finds a line of sight to the tree that equals 60 degrees </em>

<em>John drives a stake opposite the tree to establish a line between two points.</em>

Answer:

Option "D" is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{a^{3}b^{-2} }{ab^{-4} }

To eliminate negatives

They are interchanged thus it gives us option D.
