0 km. How many more times does he need to run around the track to achieve this?

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Currently, Peter has run a total distance of $400\cdot 23 =9200\:\text{m}$ . His goal is 10 km, as stated in the problem, which equates to 10,000 meters. Thus he will need to run $10,000-9,200=800$ more meters to achieve his goal. Since the track is 400 meters, he needs to run around the track $\frac{800}{400}=\boxed{2}$ more times to achieve his goal.

Solve using the quadratic frmula 2x^2-5x=3

Mnenie [13.5K]

2x2−5x=3

I think the first step would be to

Subtract 3 from both sides

2x2−5x−3=3−3

2x2−5x−3=0

Then

For this equation: a=2, b=-5, c=-3

2x2+−5x+−3=0

Lastly you would

Use quadratic formula with a=2, b=-5, c=-3

I think your answer would then have to be...

x = 3 or x = −1 /2

Suppose 10000 people are given a medical test for a disease. About1% of all people have this condition. The test results have a

Alina [70]

Answer:

The percent of the people who tested positive actually have the disease is 38.64%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>X</em> = a person has the disease

<em>P</em> = the test result is positive

<em>N</em> = the test result is negative

Given:

$P(X)=0.01\\P(P|X^{c})=0.15\\P(N|X)=0.10$

Compute the value of P (P|X) as follows:

$P(P|X)=1-P(P|X^{c})=1-0.15=0.85$

Compute the probability of a positive test result as follows:

$P(P)=P(P|X)P(X)+P(P|X^{c})P(X^{c})\\=(0.85\times0.10)+(0.15\times0.90)\\=0.22$

Compute the probability of a person having the disease given that he/she was tested positive as follows:

$P(X|P)=\frac{P(P|X)P(X)}{P(P)}=\frac{0.85\times0.10}{0.22} =0.3864$

The percentage of people having the disease given that he/she was tested positive is, 0.3864 × 100 = 38.64%.

Based on the results from part C, which two statements correctly interpret actions the business should take? If material 2 is us

Serjik [45]

The profit function is the difference between the cost and the revenue functions.

The true statement is (a) If material 2 is used, Carrie will earn a profit if she sells chairs for more than $150 each.

<h3>How to determine the true profit functions</h3>

From the complete questions, the profit functions are calculated as follows:

<u>Material 1</u>

$P(x) = 5000000- 20000x - 200000x + 2000x^2$

$P(x) = 5000000-220000x + 2000x^2$

<u>Material 2</u>

$P(x) = 4000000 - 10000x - 160000x+ 1000x^2$

$P(x) = 4000000-170000x+ 1000x^2$

<u>Material 3</u>

$P(x) = 2000000 - 5000x - 54000x - 270x^2$

$P(x) = 2000000 -59000x - 270x^2$

Next, we test the options

Option 1: When material 2 is used

A price is greater than $150 is $151.

Calculate P(151) using $P(x) = 4000000-170000x+ 1000x^2$

So, we have:

$P(151) = 4000000-170000 * 151+ 1000* 151^2$

$P(151) = 1131000$

P(151) is greater than 0; this represents a profit

Hence, option (1) is true

Option 2: When material 1 is used

A price is less than $50 is $49.

Calculate P(49) using $P(x) = 5000000-220000x + 2000x^2$

So, we have:

$P(49) = 5000000-220000 * 49 + 2000* 49^2$

$P(49) =-978000$

P(49) is less than 0; this represents loss

Hence, option (2) is false

Option 3: When material 3 is used

Calculate P(45) and P(160) using $P(x) = 2000000 -59000x - 270x^2$

So, we have:

$P(45) = 2000000 -59000 * 45 - 270 * 45^2$

$P(45) = -1201750$

P(45) is less than 0; this represents loss

Hence, option (3) is false

Option 1: When material 2 is used

Calculate P(30) and P(120) using $P(x) = 4000000-170000x+ 1000x^2$

So, we have:

$P(30) = 4000000-170000*30+ 1000*30^2$

$P(30) = -200000$

P(30) is less than 0; this represents a loss

Hence, option (4) is false

Option 2: When material 1 is used

Calculate P(40) and P(70) using $P(x) = 5000000-220000x + 2000x^2$

So, we have:

$P(40) = 5000000-220000*40 + 2000*40^2$

$P(40) = -600000$

P(49) is less than 0; this represents loss

Hence, option (5) is false

The above means that:

The true statement is (a) If material 2 is used, Carrie will earn a profit if she sells chairs for more than $150 each.
