Emily has 300 books. if frank were to double the number of books that he now owns, he would still have fewer than Emily has

This statement is false.
If he were to double the amount that Emily has to get franks, franks would have more.
Look :)
Emily's = 300
Frank's = 300 x 2 = 600

now...
Emily's = 300
Frank's = 600

So frank has more! NOT fewer.

1. A farmer estimates her hens will produce

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Expected profit per dozen eggs = 4 ¢

Expected profit on the total egg production = 60,000 ¢

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete table as obtained online

Net Profit | 8 | 6 | 4 | 2 | 0 | -2

Probability |0.1|0.4|0.2|0.1|0.1|0.1

a) Expected profit per dozen eggs

Expected value is given as

E(X) = Σ xᵢpᵢ

xᵢ = each variable

pᵢ = probability of each variable

E(X) = (8×0.1) + (6×0.4) + (4×0.2) + (2×0.1) + (0×0.1) + (-2×0.1) = 4 ¢ per dozen

b) Expected profit on the total egg production

Last year, she had 12,000 dozen eggs

This year, she estimates 3,000 dozen more eggs

Estimated Total egg production this year = 12000 + 3000 = 15,000 dozen eggs

Expected profit per dozen eggs = 4 ¢

Expected profit on 15,000 dozen eggs = 15000 × 4 = 60,000 ¢

Hope this Helps!!!!

Use a linear approximation (or differentials) to estimate the given number. (Round your answer to five decimal places.) 3 217

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

$f(216) \approx 6.0093$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\sqrt[3]{217}$

Required

Solve

Linear approximated as:

$f(x + \triangle x) \approx f(x) +\triangle x \cdot f'(x)$

Take:

$x = 216; \triangle x= 1$

So:

$f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x}$

Substitute 216 for x

$f(x) = \sqrt[3]{216}$

$f(x) = 6$

So, we have:

$f(x + \triangle x) \approx f(x) +\triangle x \cdot f'(x)$

$f(215 + 1) \approx 6 +1 \cdot f'(x)$

$f(216) \approx 6 +1 \cdot f'(x)$

To calculate f'(x);

We have:

$f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x}$

Rewrite as:

$f(x) = x^\frac{1}{3}$

Differentiate

$f'(x) = \frac{1}{3}x^{\frac{1}{3} - 1}$

Split

$f'(x) = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{x^\frac{1}{3}}{x}$

$f'(x) = \frac{x^\frac{1}{3}}{3x}$

Substitute 216 for x

$f'(216) = \frac{216^\frac{1}{3}}{3*216}$

$f'(216) = \frac{6}{648}$

$f'(216) = \frac{3}{324}$

So:

$f(216) \approx 6 +1 \cdot f'(x)$

$f(216) \approx 6 +1 \cdot \frac{3}{324}$

$f(216) \approx 6 + \frac{3}{324}$

$f(216) \approx 6 + 0.0093$

$f(216) \approx 6.0093$

Express the function graphed on the axes below as a piecewise function.

adoni [48]

Answer:

f(x) = {x-3 for x ≤ -1; -3x+14 for x > 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the piecewise function, we can consider the pieces one at a time. For each, we need to define the domain, and the functional relation.

<h3>Left Piece</h3>

The domain is the horizontal extent. It is shown as -∞ to -1, with -1 included.

The relation has a slope (rise/run) of +1, and would intersect the y-axis at -3 if it were extended.

The first piece can be written ...

f(x) = x-3 for x ≤ -1

<h3>Right Piece</h3>

The domain is shown as 5 to ∞, with 5<em> not included</em>.

The relation is shown as having a slope (rise/run) of (-3)/(1) = -3. If extended, it would intersect the point (5, -1), so we can write the point-slope equation as ...

y -(-1) = -3(x -5)

y = -3x +15 -1 = -3x +14

The second piece can be written ...

f(x) = -3x +14 for x > 5

<h3>Whole function</h3>

Putting these pieces together, we have ...

$\boxed{f(x)=\begin{cases}x-3&\text{for }x\le-1\\-3x+14&\text{for }5 < x\end{cases}}$

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Sometimes it is convenient to write inequalities in number-line order (using < or ≤ symbols). This gives a visual indication of where the variable stands in relation to the limit(s). Perhaps a more conventional way to write the domain for the second piece is, <em>x > 5</em>.
