Answer: 4 pairs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Profit on selling 'x' pairs of shoes is P(x)=-4x^2+32x-39

Find the derivative of the function to find out the critical points

\Rightarrow -8x+32=0\\\Rightarrow x=4

Thus, for 4 pair of shoes profit is maximize.

3. if kx² + 2x + k = -kx have equal roots, find the values of k.<br>​
crimeas [40]

Answer:

k = - \frac{2}{3} , k = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the discriminant Δ = b² - 4ac

The condition for equal roots is b² - 4ac = 0

Given

kx² + 2x + k = - kx ( add kx to both sides )

kx² + 2x + kx + k = 0 , that is

kx² + (2 + k)x + k = 0 ← in standard form

with a = k, b = 2 + k and c = k , thus

(2 + k)² - 4k² = 0 ← expand and simplify left side

4 + 4k + k² - 4k² = 0

- 3k² + 4k + 4 = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 )

3k² - 4k - 4 = 0 ← in standard form

(3k + 2)(k - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for k

3k + 2 = 0 ⇒ 3k = - 2 ⇒ k = - \frac{2}{3}

k - 2 = 0 ⇒ k = 2

Hyperloop, a new mode of travel, aims to reach a speed of 170170 \dfrac{\text{m}}{\text{s}} s m ​ . This is 50\%50% less than th
liraira [26]

Answer:

Speed of sound is 340 meter per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of sound = x meter per second.

It is given that,

The new mode of travel has the speed 170 meter per second, which is 50% less than the speed of sound.

So, we get,

x - 50%x = 170

i.e. x - 0.5x = 170

i.e. 0.5x = 170

i.e. x = 340 meter per second

Hence, the speed of sound is 340 meter per second.

HELP PLEASE ASAP IM SO CONFUSED!!!!!!!!
liubo4ka [24]

The slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept → (0, b)

We have the points (-4, -6) and (2, 6). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{6-(-6)}{2-(-4)}=\dfrac{12}{6}=2\\\\y=2x+b

Put the coordinates of the point (2, 6) to the equation of a line:

6=2(2)+b\\\\6=4+b\qquad|-4\\\\2=b\to b=2

<h3>Answer: y = 2x + 2</h3>

Suppose three players go on multiple rounds of kart race. In each round, every player has a winning probability of 1/3, independ
zepelin [54]

Answer:

a) 0.3246

b) 0.0043

Step-by-step explanation:

  • For player 1 ; Probability of winning = P(W) = 1/3
  • Probability of loosing; P(winning) + P( Loosing) = 1
  • P(L) = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

a) To find Find P(N <= 10) = P(2)+P(3)+P(4)+P(5)+P(6)+P(7)+P(8)+P(9)+P(10)

= (1/3)^2 + (1/3)^2 x 2/3 + (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^2 + (1/3)^2x (2/3)^3 + (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^4

X (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^5 + (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^6 + (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^7 + (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^8

= 0.3246

b) Find P(N = 10) = (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^8 = 0.0043
