julsineya [31]

Answer: Cola is more profitable over Coffee

Step-by-step explanation:

E(cola) = 0.3 * 1500 + 0.7 * 5000

E(cola) = 450 + 3500

E(cola) = 3950

E(coffee) = 0.3 * 4000 + 0.7 * 1000

E(coffee) = 1200 + 700

E(coffee) = 1900

From the decision tree which is attached, and the calculations above, it would be advised that the firm should focus on Cola, since it has a higher expected revenue of $3950, compared to the expected revenue of $1900 for coffee.

I AM IN DESPERATE NED OF QUICK HELP PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, we need the formula for perfect squares:

  • (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

or

  • (a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2 <em>this is the formula we will use because the signs match the one in the question</em>.

Knowing these, we can set up an equation that assumes that the answer we will end up with is a perfect square.

Work:

(v - x)^2 = v^2 -8v + x^2

  • this is the setup for being able to solve for the unknown x, now we need to solve for x.

(v - x)^2 = v^2 - 8v + x^2 (I replaced 2ab with 8v because I'm setting up this question to be a perfect square).

(v - x) (v - x) = v^2 - 8v + x^2

  • multiply the left side. Remember that your answer will not be v^2 + x^2, but v^2 - 2vx +x^2.

v^2 - 2vx + x^2 = v^2 + 8v + x^2

  • Divide like terms and isolate the variable. In this case, v^2 and x^2 are on both sides, so dive them and they will be canceled out.

2vx = 8v

  • divide by 2v and you will have your value for x.

x = 4

  • Now we plug x into our original equation equation for perfect squares.

(v - 4)^2 = v^2 - 8v + 16

Our final answer is 16.

Henry is building an in-ground pool at his house. He is doing most of the work for himself to save money. He rents a small backh
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Henry rented the backhoe for three days

Step-by-step explanation:

It's simple. First, you suppose that the number of days he rented the backhoe is 'm'. Then you equate the bill to the amount that corresponds the number of rented days.

The bill came for 286.50$. That'd mean, m*95.50$ = 286.50$ => m = 286.50/95.50 = 3
