Memorize the definition of standard deviation: the sd is the square root of the average of the squared deviations of the mean. Wow. Let's do it.

Step 1. First we need the mean. That's easy. Add them up and divide by the count. Check if you get 16.88/5 = 2.81333.

Step 2. Now we're going to subtract this from each of the values, and square the result. Don't worry about negative signs, the squaring will get rid of those. Example for the first number:

(1 - 2.813)^2 = 3.29

The list of numbers I get is (rounded, in reality round as little as possible):

3.29, 2.60, 1.41, 2.35, 1.66, 6.18

Step 3: Add them all up. I get 17.49. 
Step 4: Divide by the count of numbers. 17.49/6 = 2.91
Step 5: Take the square root from this result. SQRT(2.91) = 1.707305

TIP: Use excel to do all these steps, then run the set of numbers through Excel's built-in sd function (called  STDEV.P) and see that you get the same result!

<h3>Answer:   15x^(7/3) - 8x^(7/4) + x + 9000</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

If you know the cost function C(x), to find the marginal cost, we apply the derivative.

Marginal cost = derivative of cost function

Marginal cost = C ' (x)

Since we're given the marginal cost, we'll apply the antiderivative (aka integral) to figure out what C(x) is. This reverses the process described above.

\text{Cost} = \text{antiderivative of marginal cost}\\\\\displaystyle C(x) = \int \left(35x^{4/3} - 14x^{3/4} + 1\right)dx\\\\

C(x) = \frac{1}{1+4/3}*35x^{4/3+1} - \frac{1}{1+3/4}*14x^{3/4+1} + x + D\\\\C(x) = \frac{1}{7/3}*35x^{7/3} - \frac{1}{7/4}*14x^{7/4} + x + D\\\\C(x) = \frac{3}{7}*35x^{7/3} - \frac{4}{7}*14x^{7/4} + x + D\\\\C(x) = 15x^{7/3} - 8x^{7/4} + x + D\\\\

D represents a fixed constant. I would have used C as the constant of integration, but it's already taken by the cost function C(x).

To determine the value of D, we plug in x = 0 and C(x) = 9000. This is because we're told the fixed costs are $9000. This means that when x = 0 units are made, you still have $9000 in costs to pay. This is the initial value. You'll find that all of this leads to D = 9000 because everything else zeros out.

Therefore, we go from this

C(x) = 15x^{7/3} - 8x^{7/4} + x + D\\\\

to this

C(x) = 15x^{7/3} - 8x^{7/4} + x + 9000\\\\

which is the final answer.

Tom bought a PS4 on Black Friday for 25% off. If the system sells for $399, what is the sales price of the PS4?
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The sales price of the PS4 is $532.

Step-by-step explanation:

The system sells for $399 after giving 25% off on a Black Friday on the sales price.

Let the sales price of the PS4 system is $x.

Then after giving 25% discount the price will become x(1 - \frac{25}{100}) = 0.75x

Therefore, 0.75x = 399

⇒ x = 532  

Therefore, the sales price of the PS4 is $532. (Answer)
