A construction company plans to invest in a building project. There is a 30% chance that the company will lose $30,000, a 40% ch

Gnom [1K]

Answer: Option 'A' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

30% chance that the company will lose $30000.

40% chance of a break even that there is no loss and no profit.

30% chance that the company will profit $ 60000.

As we know the formula for "Expectation":

So, Expected value will be

$\frac{30}{100}\times (-30000)+\frac{40}{100}\times 0+\frac{30}{100}\times 60000\\\\=03\times (-30000)+0.4\times 0+0.3\times 60000\\\\=-9000+18000\\\\=\$9000$

Expected value is $9000. So, the company should proceed with the project.

Hence, Option 'A' is correct.

Zoologists are studying two newly discovered species of insects in a previously unexplored section of rain forest. They estimate

salantis [7]

The population Pa of insect A after t years is given by the equation
Pa = 1.3(1-0.038)^t
while the population Pb of insect B after t years is
Pb = 2.1(1-0.046)^t

We equate the above expressions to find the number of years t it will take the two populations to be equal:
Pa = Pb
1.3(1-0.038)^t = 2.1(1-0.046)^t
1.3(0.962)^t = 2.1(0.954)^t
These are the equations that can be used to determine how long it will be before the populations of the two species are equal.

We can now solve for t:
(0.962)^t / (0.954)^t = 2.1/1.3
(0.962/0.954)^t = 2.1/1.3
After taking the log of both sides of our equation, number of years t is
t = log (2.1/1.3) / log (0.962/0.954)
t = 57 years
Therefore, it will take 57 years for the population of insect A to equal the population of insect B.

Describe the steps you would take to solve for the variable x in the following

adoni [48]

Answer:

x = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

1. add 31 on both sides (you wanna get the "x" by itself)

ex: 2x - 31 = 7

+31 +31

2. the 31s cancel each other out so now you add 31 + 7

2x = 7

+31

___________

38

3. divide 2 on both sides so the 2s cancel each other out and only the x is left

ex: 2x / 2 = x 38 ( the 38 stands alone)

4. now divide 38/2 and you have your answer

X= 19

Please help! ive been stuck on this for so long and i just keep getting frustrated can someone help walkme through this?

For firework launched from height 100ft with initial velocity 150ft/sec, equation made is correct

(a) equation will be $h(t) = -16t^2+150t+100$

(b) Now we have to see when it will land. At land or ground level height h will be equal to 0. So simply plug 0 in h place in equation made in part (a)

$0 = -16t^2 + 150t + 100$

Now we have to solve this quadratic. We will use quadratic formula method to solve this equation.

$t = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

a = -16, b = 150, c = 100.

Plugging these values in quadratic formula we get

$t = \frac{-150 \pm \sqrt{150^2-4(-16)(100)}}{2(-16)}$

$t = \frac{-150 \pm \sqrt{22500+6400}}{-32}$

$t = \frac{-150 \pm \sqrt{28900}}{-32}$

$t = \frac{-150+170}{-32} = \frac{20}{-32} = -0.625$

time cannot be negative so we will drop this answer

then $t = \frac{-150-170}{-32} = \frac{-320}{-32} = 10$

So 10 seconds is the answer for this

(c) To make table simply plug various value for t like t =0, 2, 4, 6, 8 till 10. Plug values in equation mad in part (a) and find h value for each t as shown

For t =0 seconds, $h = -16(0)^2+150(0)+100 = 100 feet$

For t =2 seconds, $h = -16(2)^2+150(2)+100 =336 feet$

For t =4 seconds, $h = -16(4)^2+150(4)+100 = 444 feet$

For t =6 seconds, $h = -16(6)^2+150(6)+100 = 424 feet$

For t =8 seconds, $h = -16(8)^2+150(8)+100 = 276 feet$

For t =10 seconds, $h = -16(10)^2+150(10)+100 = 0 feet$

(d) Axis of symmetry is given by formula

$x = \frac{-b}{2a}$

$t = \frac{-150}{2(-16)} =\frac{-150}{-32} = 4.6875$

t = 4.6875 is axis of symmetry line

(e) x-coordinate of vertex is again given by formula

$x = \frac{-b}{2a}$

so t = 4.6875

then to find y coordinate we will plug this value of t as 4.6875 in equation made in part (a)

For t =4.6875, $h = -16(4.6875)^2+150(4.6875)+100 = 451.563$

so vertex is at (4.6875, 451.563)

(f) As the firework is launched so in starting time is t=0, we cannot have time before t=0 (negative values) practically. Also we cannnot have firework going down into the ground so we cannot have h value negative physically.
