Answer:

120 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

if you represent 2 1/2 hours in 5 sections of 30 minute and devide 150 by 5 you get 30 so the train is traviling 1 mile per minute so just subtract 30 and you get 120

Of the last 24 balloons sold at a party store 6 were white. Find the experimental probability that the next balloon sold will be

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: 1 out of 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divided the total amount of balloons that were sold by the amount of white balloons, it would be 4. The 1 comes from 1 in 4 being the probability of them being white. You can check this by multiplying the 1 and 4 by 6 and it would be 6 out of 24, which shows our answer is correct.

A company has a budget of $280,000 for computing equipment. Tablets cost $500 each, laptops cost $2000 each, and servers cost $5

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The number of tablets 200

the number of laptops 40

and, the number of servers 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of tablets be 'x'

the number of laptops be 'y'

and, the number of servers be 'z'

According to the given question

Total budget = $280,000

Tablets cost = $500 each

laptops cost = $2000 each

servers cost = $5000 each

Thus,

500x + 2000y + 5000z = 280,000 ..............(1)

also,

x = 5y ................(2)

and,

y = 2z

z = $\frac{\textup{y}}{\textup{2}}$ ............(3)

substituting y from 2 and 3 in equation 1, we get

(500 × 5y) + (2000 × y) + (5000 × $\frac{\textup{y}}{\textup{2}}$ ) = 280,000

2500y + 2000y + 2500y = 280,000

7000y = 280,000

y = 40

substituting y in equation 2, we get

x = 5 × 40 = 200

substituting y in equation 3 we get

z = $\frac{\textup{40}}{\textup{2}}$

z = 20

hence,

the number of tablets 200

the number of laptops 40

and, the number of servers 20

Consider the function f ( x ) = − 2 x 3 + 27 x 2 − 108 x + 9 . For this function there are three important open intervals: ( − [

Darya [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Increasing and Decreasing Intervals of Functions</u>

Given f(x) as a real function and f'(x) its first derivative.

If f'(a)>0 the function is increasing in x=a

If f'(a)<0 the function is decreasing in x=a

If f'(a)=0 the function has a critical point in x=a

As we can see, the critical points may define open intervals where the function has different behaviors.

We have

$f ( x ) = - 2 x^3 + 27 x^2 - 108 x + 9$

Computing the first derivative:

$f' ( x ) = - 6 x^3 + 54 x - 108$

We find the critical points equating f'(x) to zero

$- 6 x^3 + 54 x - 108=0$

Simplifying by -6

$x^2 -9 x +18=0$

We get the critical points

$x=3,\ x=6$

They define the following intervals

$(-\infty,3),\ (3,6),\ (6,+\infty)$

Thus A=3 and B=6
