A map has a scale of 1 cm = 5 km

Find an equation of variation in which y varies inversely as x and y=5 and x=21. Then find the value of y when x=10.

finlep [7]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is

y = $\frac{k}{x}$ ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 5 , x = 21

k = yx = 5 × 21 = 105

y = $\frac{105}{x}$ ← equation of variation

When x = 10, then

y = $\frac{105}{10}$ = 10.5

The local supermarket buys lettuce each day to ensure really fresh produce. Each morning any lettuce that is left from the previ

jekas [21]

Given Information:

Cost price = $4

Selling price = $10

Salvage value = $1.50

Average demand = μ = 250 boxes

Standard deviation = σ = 34 boxes

Required Information:

Number of lettuce boxes = ?

Answer:

The supermarket should purchase 268 boxes of lettuce

Step-by-step explanation:

The required number of lettuce boxes that supermarket should purchase is given by

Number of lettuce boxes = μ + (z*σ)

Where μ is the average demand of lettuce boxes, σ is the standard deviation, and z is the z-score which is given by

p = C_us/(C_us + C_os)

The z-score corresponding to probability p will be obtained.

The cost of under stocking is given by

C_us = Selling price - Cost price

C_us = $10 - $4

C_us = $6

The cost of over stocking is given by

C_os = Cost price - Salvage value

C_os = $4 - $1.50

C_os = $2.50

p = C_us/(C_us + C_os)

p = 6/(6 + 2.50)

p = 0.7058

p = 70.58%

The z-score corresponding to 70.58% probability is approximately 0.54

Number of lettuce boxes = μ + (z*σ)

Number of lettuce boxes = 250 + (0.54*34)

Number of lettuce boxes = 250 + (18.36)

Number of lettuce boxes = 268.36

Number of lettuce boxes ≈ 268

Therefore, the supermarket should purchase 268 boxes of lettuce.

How to use z-table?

Step 1:

In the z-table, find the probability you are looking for and note down the two-digit number of the given row. (e.g 0.5, 2.2, 0.5 etc.)

Step 2:

Then look up at the top of z-table and note down the value in the column for the remaining decimal point in the range of 0.00 to 0.09.

Step 3:

Finally, add the numbers obtained from step 1 and step 2.

Let f(x)=3x-6 and g(x)=x-2 find f(g(5))-ie. (f • g)(5) and its domain

Molodets [167]

Solution for f(g(5)):

The notation f(g(5)) or (f • g)(5) means that we first plug 5 into the function g(x), simplify, then plug the answer that we got to f(x). We will do this step-by-step:

Step 1: Plugging 5 to g(x)

$g(5)=5-2=3$

Step 2: Plugging the answer to f(x)

$f(3)=3(3)-6=9-6=3$

ANSWER: f(g(5)) is equal to 3.

Domain:

For the function f(g(x)), we can find the domain by analyzing the domains of each individual functions separately and excluding certain values depending on the restrictions from the outermost function.

However, since both functions have all real numbers as its domain, we will not need to do any exclusion anymore.

ANSWER: The domain of the function is all real numbers.
