The area of this rectangle is x*y. But, this problem requires that you represent the variable "y" in terms of "x" only.
A hint here is that the variable "y" represent a point on the line that connects the end points (0,b) and (a,0).
The first step to solve this problem is to get the expression of this line.
The slope of this line is: m = (0 - b)/(a - 0) = -b/a
Because the point (x,y) is on this line we have: y - b = m(x - 0)
y = (-b/a)x + b
Solution: Area of the rectangle = x*y = x*((-b/a)x + b) = (-b/a)x2 +bx
257 1/2 should be the correct answer
The probability that the new UNC-CH logo will be profitable is <u>0.9897 </u>while the probability for NC State will be <u>0.9600.</u>
<h3 /><h3>What is the probability that the brands will be successful?</h3>
The probability that the UNC-CH logo is successful is:
= Favorable odds / Total odds
= 96 / (96 + 1)
= 0.9897
The probability that the NC State logo is profitable is:
= Favorable odds / Total odds
= 24 / (24 + 1)
= 0.9600
There is less than a 3% variation in both logos' profitablility probability so the company should not spend 4 times more on UNC-CH.
