Keegan is printing and selling his original design on t-shirts. He has concluded that for x shirts, in thousands sold his total

profits will be p(x) = dollars, in thousands will be earned. How may t-shirts (rounded to the nearest whole number) should he print in order to make maximum profits? What will his profits rounded to the nearest whole dollar be if he prints that number of shirts?

Answer:

t-shirts: 2790

profit: $12209

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  the function:

p(x) = -x³ + 4x² + x

we want to maximize it.

The following criteria must be satisfied at the maximum:

dp/dx = 0

d²p/dx² < 0

dp/dx = -3x² + 8x + 1 = 0

Using quadratic formula:

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4(a)(c)}}{2(a)}

x = \frac{-8 \pm \sqrt{8^2 -4(-3)(1)}}{2(-3)}

x = \frac{-8 \pm 8.72}{-6}

x_1 = \frac{-8 + 8.72}{-6}

x_1 = -0.12

x_2 = \frac{-8 - 8.72}{-6}

x_2 = 2.79

d²p/dx² = -6x + 8

d²p/dx² at x = -0.12: -6(-0.12) + 8 = 8.72 > 0

d²p/dx² at x = 2.79: -6(2.79) + 8 = -8.74 < 0

Then, he should prints 2.79 thousands, that is, 2790 t-shirts to make maximum profits.

Replacing into profit equation:

p(x) = -(2.79)³ + 4(2.79)² + 2.79 =  12.209

that is, $12209

How do you solve this? <br> Look at attached file please...I'm really confused!
il63 [147K]

Answer:

X=18, Y=6

Step by Step Explanation:

This is a little long winded.. Let's solve for Y first.

First looking at the problem, you can note a few things. First of all, there is an Isosceles triangle, and there is an equilateral triangle. Where they connect, there is a 90° angle.

Now, all equilateral triangles have the same angle measurement. 60°. Now, if you look where the right angle is, it is showing a 60° angle, a total of 90°, and an unknown area. So simply subtract. 90-60=30. Divide that by 5, and you have your answer of 6.

Now let's solve X. X is very simple. On an isosceles triangle, the two top sides are the same length. And one of the top sides is the same size as the equilateral triangle. And on equilateral triangles, all sides are the same.

So the 11 transfers over to the X side. So let's make a small equation. 11=X-7. To make it even, let's add 7 to both sides. 11+7=X+7-7. Simplify to get 18=X, which is your answer.

The results of a common standardized test used in psychology research is designed so that the population mean is 155 and the sta
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The value <em>155</em> is zero standard deviations from the [population] mean, because \\ x = \mu, and therefore \\ z = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The key concept we need to manage here is the z-scores (or standardized values), and we can obtain a z-score using the next formula:

\\ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} [1]

Where

  • z is the <em>z-score</em>.
  • x is the <em>raw score</em>: an observation from the normally distributed data that we want <em>standardize</em> using [1].
  • \\ \mu is the <em>population mean</em>.
  • \\ \sigma is the <em>population standard deviation</em>.

Carefully looking at [1], we can interpret it as <em>the distance from the mean of a raw value in standard deviations units. </em>When the z-score is <em>negative </em>indicates that the raw score, <em>x</em>, is <em>below</em> the population mean, \\ \mu. Conversely, a <em>positive</em> z-score is telling us that <em>x</em> is <em>above</em> the population mean. A z-score is also fundamental when determining probabilities using the <em>standard normal distribution</em>.

For example, think about a z-score = 1. In this case, the raw score is, after being standardized using [1], <em>one standard deviation above</em> from the population mean. A z-score = -1 is also one standard deviation from the mean but <em>below</em> it.

These standardized values have always the same probability in the <em>standard normal distribution</em>, and this is the advantage of using it for calculating probabilities for normally distributed data.

A subject earns a score of 155. How many standard deviations from the mean is the value 155?

From the question, we know that:

  • x = 155.
  • \\ \mu = 155.
  • \\ \sigma = 50.

Having into account all the previous information, we can say that the raw score, <em>x = 155</em>, is <u><em>zero standard deviations units from the mean.</em></u> <u><em>The subject   earned a score that equals the population mean.</em></u> Then, using [1]:

\\ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}

\\ z = \frac{155 - 155}{50}

\\ z = \frac{0}{50}

\\ z = 0

As we say before, the z-score "tells us" the distance from the population mean, and in this case this value equals zero:  

\\ x = \mu

Therefore

\\ z = 0

So, the value 155 is zero standard deviations <em>from the [population] mean</em>.
