-- They're losing employees . . . so you know that the line will slope down, and
its slope is negative;
-- They're losing employees at a steady rate . . . so you know that the slope is
the same everywhere on the line; this tells you that the graph is a straight line.
I can see the function right now, but I'll show you how to go through the steps to
find the function. I need to point out that these are steps that you've gone through
many times, but now that the subject pops up in a real-world situation, suddenly
you're running around in circles with your hair on fire screaming "What do I do ?
Somebody give me the answer !".
Just take a look at what has already been handed to you:
0 months . . . 65 employees
1 month . . . . 62 employees
2 months . . . 59 employees
You know three points on the line !
(0, 65) , (1, 62) , and (2, 59) .
For the first point, 'x' happens to be zero, so immediately
you have your y-intercept ! ' b ' = 65 .
You can use any two of the points to find the slope of the line.
You will calculate that the slope is negative-3 . . . which you
might have realized as you read the story, looked at the numbers,
and saw that they are <u>firing 3 employees per month</u>.
("Losing" them doesn't quite capture the true spirit of what is happening.)
So your function ... call it ' W(n) ' . . . Workforce after 'n' months . . .
is <em>W(n) = 65 - 3n</em> .
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x³ + 14x² + 120x
= -2x(x² - 7x - 60)
= -2x(x - 12)(x + 5).
The other 2 dimensions are -2x and (x + 5).
When using a graphing calculator to maximise the volume of the prism, we get x = 7.378. However this value is not reasonable as it makes -2x and (x - 12) negative, which are the sides of the prism.
No the vertex should be at (-3,-2) (I checked on my calculator)
<h2>area of shaded portion = 49.5 yd²</h2><h2>____________________</h2>
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
radius of circle = 5 yd ------ ( <em>g</em><em>i</em><em>v</em><em>e</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>)</em>
height of triangle = 16 yd --- ( <em>g</em><em>i</em><em>v</em><em>e</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>)</em>
base of triangle = 16 yd ----- ( <em>g</em><em>i</em><em>v</em><em>e</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>)</em>
area of triangle = 1/2 × base × height
= 1/2 × 16 × 16
= 128 yd²
area of circle = π × radius²
= 3.14 × 5 × 5 --- ( π = 3.14 )
= 78.5 yd²
<h2>---------------------------------------</h2>
area of shaded portion = area of triangle - area of circle
area of shaded portion= 128 yd²-78.5 yd²
area of shaded portion = 49.5 yd²

Answer: Hello your question is poorly written attached below is the complete question
answer:
0.1515
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of bets = 200
mean number of losses = $0.2
Standard deviation = $2.74
<u>Determine P ( winning after 200 bets ) </u>
Average of 200 bets > 0. i.e. P( X > 0 )
considering normal distribution : μ = -0.2 , б = 2.74 , n = 200
applying Z - distribution
z = 0 - ( - 0.2 ) / ( 2.74 / √200 ) ≈ 1.03
∴ P ( z > 1.03 ) = 1 - P ( z < 1.03 )
= 1 - 0.8485 ( value gotten from z-table )
= 0.1515
