Answer: The correct option is (A) 7.44.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the following quantity :

" 6% of 124."

To evaluate the percentage, we need to divide the expression by 100.

Therefore, the given expression can be evaluated as follows :

$6\%~\textup{of}~124\\\\\\=\dfrac{6}{100}\times124\\\\\\=\dfrac{3}{50}\times124\\\\\\=\dfrac{3}{25}\times62\\\\\\=\dfrac{186}{25}\\\\=7.44.$

Thus, the required value is 7.44.

Option (A) is CORRECT.

How to do -7x-3x+2=8x-8

zavuch27 [327]

If you would like to solve the equation - 7 * x - 3 * x + 2 = 8 * x - 8, you can calculate this using the following steps:

- 7 * x - 3 * x + 2 = 8 * x - 8
- 7 * x - 3 * x - 8 * x = - 8 - 2
- 18 * x = - 10 /(-18)
x = 10 / 18
x = 5/9

The correct result would be 5/9.

Find the critical points of the function f(x, y) = 8y2x − 8yx2 + 9xy. Determine whether they are local minima, local maxima, or

NARA [144]

Answer:

Saddle point: $(0,0)$

Local minimum: $(\frac{3}{8}, -\frac{3}{8})$

Local maxima: $(0,-\frac{9}{8})$ , $(\frac{9}{8},0)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is:

$f(x,y) = 8\cdot y^{2}\cdot x -8\cdot y\cdot x^{2} + 9\cdot x \cdot y$

The partial derivatives of the function are included below:

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = 8\cdot y^{2}-16\cdot y\cdot x+9\cdot y$

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = y \cdot (8\cdot y -16\cdot x + 9)$

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = 16\cdot y \cdot x - 8 \cdot x^{2} + 9\cdot x$

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = x \cdot (16\cdot y - 8\cdot x + 9)$

Local minima, local maxima and saddle points are determined by equalizing both partial derivatives to zero.

$y \cdot (8\cdot y -16\cdot x + 9) = 0$

$x \cdot (16\cdot y - 8\cdot x + 9) = 0$

It is quite evident that one point is (0,0). Another point is found by solving the following system of linear equations:

$\left \{ {{-16\cdot x + 8\cdot y=-9} \atop {-8\cdot x + 16\cdot y=-9}} \right.$

The solution of the system is (3/8, -3/8).

Let assume that y = 0, the nonlinear system is reduced to a sole expression:

$x\cdot (-8\cdot x + 9) = 0$

Another solution is (9/8,0).

Now, let consider that x = 0, the nonlinear system is now reduced to this:

$y\cdot (8\cdot y+9) = 0$

Another solution is (0, -9/8).

The next step is to determine whether point is a local maximum, a local minimum or a saddle point. The second derivative test:

$H = \frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial x^{2}} \cdot \frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial y^{2}} - \frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial x \partial y}$

The second derivatives of the function are:

$\frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial x^{2}} = 0$

$\frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial y^{2}} = 0$

$\frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial x \partial y} = 16\cdot y -16\cdot x + 9$

Then, the expression is simplified to this and each point is tested:

$H = -16\cdot y +16\cdot x -9$

S1: (0,0)

$H = -9$ (Saddle Point)

S2: (3/8,-3/8)

$H = 3$ (Local maximum or minimum)

S3: (9/8, 0)

$H = 9$ (Local maximum or minimum)

S4: (0, - 9/8)

$H = 9$ (Local maximum or minimum)

Unfortunately, the second derivative test associated with the function does offer an effective method to distinguish between local maximum and local minimums. A more direct approach is used to make a fair classification:

S2: (3/8,-3/8)

$f(\frac{3}{8} ,-\frac{3}{8} ) = - \frac{27}{64}$ (Local minimum)

S3: (9/8, 0)

$f(\frac{9}{8},0) = 0$ (Local maximum)

S4: (0, - 9/8)

$f(0,-\frac{9}{8} ) = 0$ (Local maximum)

Saddle point: $(0,0)$

Local minimum: $(\frac{3}{8}, -\frac{3}{8})$

Local maxima: $(0,-\frac{9}{8})$ , $(\frac{9}{8},0)$

dion flips a coin 20 times and records if it comes up heads. if getting heads is a success, what is the probability of a success

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of success (getting heads) on one roll DOESNT affect other rolls, so we need to find probability of getting a head in a roll.

Probability is defined as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes.

Here, favorable outcome is getting a head. So, on one roll, getting a head is 1. Also, the total number of outcomes is either a head or a tail. So total number of outcomes is 2.

Thus,

P(Heads) = 1/2

Maria has decided to invest to help with her retirement savings. How much would she have to invest to have $113,400 after 20 yea

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

$56,226

Step-by-step explanation:

x = investment

Earning interest of 3.57% is the equivalent of multiplying the initial balance (investment) by 1.0357;

Over 20 years, the new balance can be found by multiplying the initial balance by (1.0357)²⁰;

We can formulate an equation to solve to get the initial investment:

x(1.0357)²⁰ = 113400

(2.01687752)x = 113400

x = ¹¹³⁴⁰⁰/₍₂.₀₁₆...₎

x = 56225.5263 → 56226
