Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x=ticket cost in Japan

y=ticket cost in Switzerland

3x+2y=79.93

2x+3y=75.87

2/3(2x+3y=75.87) --> 4/3x+2y=50.58

3x+2y=79.93

-

4/3x+2y=50.58

----------------------------

5/3x=29.35

3/5(5/3x=29.35) --> x = 17.61

plug x back in to find y:

3(17.61)+2y=79.93 --> 52.83+2y=79.93

2y=27.1

1/2(2y=27.1) --> y=13.55

x = 17.61

y=13.55

This means:

In Japan the average cost is $17.61

In Switzerland the average cost is $13.55

Find the vertex of the graph of the function.

lapo4ka [179]

Answer: The correct options are (1) (5,10), (2) (3,-3), (3) x = -1, (4) $y=(x+2)^2+3$ , (5) 21s and (6) 0, -1, and 5.

Explanation:

Te standard form of the parabola is,

$f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k$ .....(1)

Where, (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.

(1)

The given equation is,

$f(x)=(x-5)^2+10$

Comparing this equation with equation (1),we get,

$h=5$ and $k=10$

Therefore, the vertex of the graph is (5,10) and the fourth option is correct.

(2)

The given equation is,

$f(x)=3x^2-18x+24$

$f(x)=3(x^2-6x)+24$

To make perfect square add $(\frac{b}{2a})^2$ , i.e., $9$ . Since there is factor 3 outside the parentheses, so subtract three times of 9.

$f(x)=3(x^2-6x+9)+24-3\times 9$

$f(x)=3(x-3)^2-3$

Comparing this equation with equation (1),we get,

$h=3$ and $k=-3$

Therefore, the vertex of the graph is (3,-3) and the fourth option is correct.

(3)

The given equation is

$f(x)=4x^2+8x+7$

$f(x)=4(x^2+2x)+7$

To make perfect square add $(\frac{b}{2a})^2$ , i.e., $1$ . Since there is factor 4 outside the parentheses, so subtract three times of 1.

$f(x)=4(x^2+2x+1)+7-4$

$f(x)=4(x+1)^2+3$

Comparing this equation with equation (1),we get,

$h=-1$ and $k=3$

The vertex of the equation is (-1,3) so the axis is x=-1 and the correct option is 2.

(4)

The given equation is,

$y=x^2+4x+7$

To make perfect square add $(\frac{b}{2a})^2$ , i.e., $2^2$ .

$f(x)=x^2+4x+4+7-4$

$f(x)=x^2+4x+4+7-4$

$f(x)=(x+2)^2+3$

Therefore, the correct option is 4.

(5)

The given equation is,

$h=-16t^2+672t$

It can be written as,

$h=-16(t^2-42t)$

It is a downward parabola. so the maximum height of the function is on its vertex.

The x coordinate of the vertex is,

$x=\frac{b}{2a}$

$x=\frac{42}{2}$

$x=21$

Therefore, after 21 seconds the projectile reach its maximum height and the correct option is first.

(6)

The given equation is,

$f(x)=3x^3-12x^2-15x$

$f(x)=3x(x^2-4x-5)$

Use factoring method to find the factors of the equation.

$f(x)=3x(x^2-5x+x-5)$

$f(x)=3x(x(x-5)+1(x-5))$

$f(x)=3x(x-5)(x+1)$

Equate each factor equal to 0.

$x=0,-1,5$

Therefore, the zeros of the given equation is 0, -1, 5 and the correct option is 2.

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

The subcommittee needs to contain 1 out of 3 freshmen, 1 out of 4 sophomores, 1 out of 5 juniors and 1 out of 2 seniors. Assuming order is not important, the number of possibilities to pick the subcommittee members is given by:

$N=5*4*3*2=120$

There are 120 possible subcommittees.

The service department of a luxury car dealership conducted research on the amount of time its service technicians spend on each

mart [117]

Answer:

Probability that the mean service time is between 1 and 2 hours is 0.96764.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a systematic random sample of 100 service appointments has been collected.

The 100 appointments showed an average preparation time of 90 minutes with a standard deviation of 140 minutes.

<u><em>Let </em></u> $\bar X$ <u><em> = sample mean service time</em></u>

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

Z = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = average preparation time = 90 minutes

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 140 minutes

n = sample of appointments = 100

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X.

Now, probability that the mean service time is between 60 and 120 minutes is given by = P(60 minutes < $\bar X$ < 120 minutes)

P(60 minutes < $\bar X$ < 120 minutes) = P( $\bar X$ < 120 min) - P( $\bar X$ $\leq$ 60 min)

P( $\bar X$ < 120 min) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\frac{120-90}{\frac{140}{\sqrt{100} } }$ ) = P(Z < 2.14) = 0.98382

P( $\bar X$ $\leq$ 60 min) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ $\leq$ $\frac{60-90}{\frac{140}{\sqrt{100} } }$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -2.14) = 1 - P(Z < 2.14)

= 1 - 0.98382 = 0.01618

<em>The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.14 in the z table which has an area of 0.98382.</em>

Therefore, P(60 min < $\bar X$ < 120 min) = 0.98382 - 0.01618 = <u>0.96764</u>
