A company's profit (in millions of dollars) can be represented by x^2-6x+12, where x is the number of years since the company st

arted. When did the company have a profit of $4 million?
I got two years, but I wanted to check this against something. Thanks in advance!

The function that models the profit of the company in million of dollars is:

P= x^{2} -6x+12

where x represents the number of years since the company started. We want to find when the profit of the company was $4 million. Setting P as 4 in above equation, we can find the value of x when the profit was $4 million.

4= x^{2} -6x+12 \\  \\ 
 x^{2} -6x+8=0 \\  \\ 
 x^{2} -2x-4x+8=0 \\  \\ 
x(x-2)-4(x-2)=0 \\  \\ 
(x-2)(x-4)=0 \\  \\ 
x=2, x=4

Thus, we can conclude that the profit of the company was $4 million in 2nd and 4th year

DBE is obtained by enlarging ABC. If the area of ABC is 3 square units, what is the area of DBE?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

The area of DBE = 27 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of ABC = 3 square units

In the figure, we can see that ABC was enlarged so that BDE is formed where side BD = 6 and AB was = 2

Hence ABC was enlarged 3 times its size.

We know by formula that:

Area of ABC = 1/2(base x perpendicular)

3 = 1/2(2 x p)

=> p = 3

As ABC was enlarged 3 times its size, the perpendicular of BDE must be 3*p

= 3*3 = 9

AREA OF DBE = 1/2(base*perp)

= 1/2(6*9)

= 27 square units

A psychologist obtains a random sample of 2020 mothers in the first trimester of their pregnancy. The mothers are asked to play
leva [86]

Answer:

First of all, we need to determine the system of hypothesis, which must have a null and alternative hypothesis.

In all hypothesis proof procedure, we must work with the null one, rejecting it or accepting it. If we reject the null hypothesis, it will mean that our principal hypothesis is true.

According to the problem, the null hypothesis must be: H_{o} : u = 100; because it says that 100 is the normal mean that is used.

The alternative hypothesis must be: H_{a} : u > 100; because the question is asking if there's enough evidence to say that they children have a higher IQ than 100.

Then, we must calculate the P-value, which is the probability value that we are gonna use to accept or reject the null hypothesis. This P-value we can calculate it with the formula: Z=\frac{x-u}{\frac{o}{\sqrt{n} } }; where x is the sample mean, u is the hypothetical mean parameter, o is the sample deviation and n is the sample.

Extracting all values from the problem: x = 104.3; u = 100; o = 14 and n = 20.

Applying all values to the formula: Z=\frac{104.3 - 100}{\frac{14}{\sqrt{20} } } = \frac{4.3}{\frac{14}{ 4.5} }=\frac{4.3}{3.1}=1.4

Then, this Z-value will give us the P-value by using the Z-table with the 0.05 level of significance. In table attached, we can see that the result is 0.9265. However, the P-value is 1 - 0.9265 = 0.735. We need to do this subtraction because, the result 0.9265 belong to the bigger area (as it's shown is the image in blue colour), and we need the smaller area, which belong to the 0.05 level of significance.

<em>In this problems, if the P-value is more than the level of significance, the null hypothesis is accepted. If the P-value is less than the level of significance the null hypothesis is rejected.</em>

Therefore, there is no enough evidence to say that the sample children have higher IQs, because the P-value is higher than the level of significance. (0.735>0.05).

Jamal used 1/3 yard of ribbon to tie a package and 1/6 yard of ribbon to tie a bow how many yards of ribbon did Jamal use?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

1/2 yard

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 yard x 6/6 = 6/18 yard

1/6 yard x 3/3 = 3/18 yard

6/18 + 3/18 = 9/18 = 1/2 yard

Find the area under the curve y = 13/x3 from x = 1 to x = t. Evaluate the area under the curve for t = 10, t = 100, and t = 1000
zvonat [6]

Answer:

t = 10

A = 32496.75

t = 100

A = 324999996.8

t = 1000

A=3.25\times 10^{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

The area under the curve is calculated by using the following definite integral:

A = \int\limits^t_ {1} \,{13\cdot x^{3}}  dx

A = 13 \int\limits^t_1 {x^{3}} \, dx

A = \frac{13}{4}\cdot (t^{4}-1)

Evaluated areas are presented below:

t = 10

A = 32496.75

t = 100

A = 324999996.8

t = 1000

A=3.25\times 10^{12}
