Answer:

a. ║x - p║ = 3% b. the least percent of voters for the incumbent is 53 % and the greatest percent of voters for the incumbent is 59 %

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Let x represent the number of voters and p represent the percentage determined by the poll. Since we have a 3 % margin error, we have

x - p = ± 3%.

So, ║x - p║ = 3%

b. So, we solve the equation to find the least and greates percent of incumbent likely to vote.

So, ║x - p║ = 3%

⇒ x - p = 3 % or - (x - p) = 3 %

Since p = 56 %,

x - p = 3%

x - 56 % = 3 %

x = 3% + 56 %

x = 59 %

Also -(x - p) = 3%

x - p = -3%

x - 56 % = -3%

x = 56 % - 3 %

x = 53 %

So, the least percent of voters for the incumbent is 53 % and the greatest percent of voters for the incumbent is 59 %

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is an indererminate form, use L'Hopital

d(sint)/dt = cos(t)

d[ln(2e^t) - 1] = (2e^t)/[2e^t - 1]

As t --> 0,

cos(0) = 1

(2e^t)/[2e^t - 1] = 2

1/2 is the limit

A fruit seller purchased 20 kg of apples at Rs 80 per kg and sold them at Rs 85 per kg. find profit and profit percent​
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Profit = Rs 100

Profit %age = 6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost Price = Rs 80

Cost Price for 20 kg = Rs 1600

Selling Price = Rs 85

<u><em>Profit for 1 kg</em></u> = Rs 85 - Rs 80

=> Rs 5 (For 1 Kg)

<u><em>Profit for 20 kg:</em></u>

=> Rs 5*20

=> Rs 100

<u><em>Now Profit %age:</em></u>

=> \frac{100}{1600}* 100

=> 0.0625 * 100

=> 6.25%

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is:

It will take 2.2 months for both gyms to be the same amount of money!

Step-by-step explanation:

Fitness 19:

39+ 17x

Anytime Fitness:

50+ 12x

Put them equal to each other:

39+17x = 50+12x

-12x

39+5x = 50

-39

5x = 11

/5

x= 2.2 months

39+17(2.2)= 76.4$

50+12(2.2)= 76.4$

Hope this helps!
