Two companies, A and B, drill wells in a rural area. Company A charges a flat fee of 3681 dollars to drill a well regardless of

its depth. Company B charges 1168 dollars plus 10 dollars per foot to drill a well. The depths of wells drilled in this area have a normal distribution with a mean of 260 feet and a standard deviation of 40 feet. Find the probability that Company B would charge more than Company A to drill a well.

Answer:

Mean costing =  $3,768

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mean A(x) = 260

Rate = $10 per feet

Fixed charge = $1,168

Computation:

Assume;

depth = x ft

So,

Cost of company B = 10x + 1,168

So,

Mean costing = 10A(x) + 1,168

Mean costing =  10(260) + 1,168

Mean costing =  2,600 + 1,168

Mean costing =  $3,768

Find the intersection between the<br><br>lines 2x + 3y = 5 and 3x + 4y = 6
Archy [21]
An intersection point, is a shared coordinate. If the equations share a coordinate we can say they are "equal". There are two ways (algebraically) to find this point. Substitution or linear combination. Because the coefficients are different, let's use linear combination

First stack the equations on top of each other.

2x + 3y = 5
3x + 4y = 6

Next let's manipulate one or both of the equations to get coefficients that are equal, but opposite. For this I'm going to turn the coefficient of x into 6 and -6 respectively by multiplying the first equation by 3 and the second by -2 to get 

6x + 9y = 15
-6x -8y = -12

Now we can combine the equations with addition and the x's will cancel leaving a single variable (which we can solve)

y = 3

Now plug this back into either original equation to find the x coordinate.

2x + 3(3) = 5

2x + 9 = 5

2x = -4

x = -2.

So your intersection point is (-2,3)

The table shows Ava's checking account activity for several weeks. Ava's beginning balance was $685. What was her ending balance
Dafna11 [192]
B. Deposit means she added money to her account so you would add 175 and 180 to 685 (giving you 1040). Withdrawal means she took money out of her account so you would subtract 240, 140, and 350 from 1040 giving you your answer of $310 :)

Find the value of x: 7e(×/3)=14
velikii [3]
<span>7e^(×/3)=14
</span><span>e^(×/3)=14/7
</span>e^(×/3)=2
take ln of both sides;
lne^(×/3)=ln2
****You should be familiar that lne^x=x as ln is the inverse function of e and vice versa****
then;
x/3=ln2
x=3ln2
x approximately is equal to 2.1
