Arturiano [62]2 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a trick question. Since they only get three purchases in by 7 weeks, the answer will be 15 times 3 or 45.

(If I'm wrong and it's not a trick question, then it's 15 times 3.5 or 52.5)

Hope this helps!

Suppose the x intercept of the graph of y=f(x) are 2 and 3. what are the x-intercepts of y=8f(x)

Yuliya22 [10]

We are given: Function y=f(x).

First x-intercept of the y=f(x) is 2.

x-intercept is a point on x-axis, where y=0.

Replacing y by 0 and x by 2 in above function, we get

0=f(2)

Second x-intercept of the y=f(x) is 3.

Replacing y by 0 and x by 2 in above function, we get

0=f(3)

We are given another function y=8f(x).

Here only function f(x) is being multiplied with 8.

That is y values of function should be multiply by 8.

Because we have y value equals 0. On multiplying 8 by 0 gives 0 again and it would not effect the values of x's.

Therefore,

x-intercepts of y=8f(x) would remain same, that is 2 and 3.

assume that when adults with smartphones are randomly selected 15 use them in meetings or classes if 15 adult smartphones are ra

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The probability that at least 4 of them use their smartphones is 0.1773.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that when adults with smartphones are randomly selected 15% use them in meetings or classes.

Also, 15 adult smartphones are randomly selected.

Let X = Number of adults who use their smartphones

The above situation can be represented through the binomial distribution;

$P(X = r) = \binom{n}{r}\times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r} ; n = 0,1,2,3,.......$

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 15 adult smartphones

r = number of success = at least 4

p = probability of success which in our question is the % of adults

who use them in meetings or classes, i.e. 15%.

So, X ~ Binom(n = 15, p = 0.15)

Now, the probability that at least 4 of them use their smartphones is given by = P(X $\geq$ 4)

P(X $\geq$ 4) = 1 - P(X = 0) - P(X = 1) - P(X = 2) - P(X = 3)

= $1- \binom{15}{0}\times 0.15^{0} \times (1-0.15)^{15-0}-\binom{15}{1}\times 0.15^{1} \times (1-0.15)^{15-1}-\binom{15}{2}\times 0.15^{2} \times (1-0.15)^{15-2}-\binom{15}{3}\times 0.15^{3} \times (1-0.15)^{15-3}$

= $1- (1\times 1\times 0.85^{15})-(15\times 0.15^{1} \times 0.85^{14})-(105 \times 0.15^{2} \times 0.85^{13})-(455 \times 0.15^{3} \times 0.85^{12})$

= 0.1773

Square root of 22801 by long division method

mezya [45]

First step: partition the number you want to square root into a block of 2 digits, starting from the last digit (first diagram)

Second step: As our number is a five-digits, we ends up with 2 28 01. Pick a number that could be squared to get the first partition, 2. This number is 1, since 1×1=1

Third step: Write 1 on the top and on the side, as shown in the second graph

Fourth step: Double the number on the side, which is 1+1=2 and use this number as the first digit for the next multiplier. Meanwhile, subtract 1 from 2 inside the root sign to get 1, then pull the other two digits, 28

Fifth step: We need a value in the boxes that when we multiply together will give a number less than 128. We choose 5 as 25×5=125

Sixth step: Subtract 125 from 128 to give 3, and as the same concept with long division, bring down the 0 and the 1. So we have 301

Seventh step: Add 5 to the multiplier on the left, so 20+5=30, which we will use on the side as the hundred and ten digits.

Final step: Find a number to fit in the boxes. We choose 1 since 301×1=301

And hence the square root of 228801 is 151

You plan on financing a new road bike for $2,500. The bike shop offers a 13.5% APR for a 24 month loan. Use this information, an

Mila [183]

This question can be approached using the present value of annuity formula. The present value of annuity is given by $PV=P\left( \frac{1-\left(1+ \frac{r}{t} \right)^{-nt}}{ \frac{r}{t} } \right)$ , where: PV is the present value/amount of the loan, P is the periodic (monthly in this case) payment, r is the APR, t is the number of payments in one year and n is the number of years.

Given that the financing is for a new road bike of $2,500 and that the bike shop offers a 13.5% APR for a 24 month loan.

Thus, PV = $2,500; r = 13.5% = 0.135; t = 12 payments (since payment is made monthly); n = 2 years (i.e. 24 months)

Thus,

 $2500=P\left( \frac{1-\left(1+ \frac{0.135}{12} \right)^{-2\times12}}{ \frac{0.135}{12} } \right) \\ \\ =P\left( \frac{1-\left(1+ 0.01125 \right)^{-24}}{ 0.01125 } \right)=P\left( \frac{1-\left(1.01125 \right)^{-24}}{ 0.01125 } \right) \\ \\ =P\left( \frac{1-0.764531}{ 0.01125 } \right)=P\left( \frac{0.235469}{ 0.01125 } \right)=20.9306P \\ \\ \Rightarrow P= \frac{2500}{20.9306} =119.44$

Therefore, his monthly payment is $119.44
