For a future reference, for these types of questions you would divide the percentage by 100. So in this case would be 0.50 then you would take the whole number which is the 39, and you would multiply it by .50 so your final answer is 19.5

Dominic is 1.75 meters tall. At 2 p.m., he measures the length of a tree's shadow to be 37.95 meters. He stands 33.7 meters away

Mama L [17]

Using similarity principle, the height of the tree is 1.97 meters

<h3>How to find height of the tree?</h3>

He is 1.75 meters tall.

His shadow = 33.7 meters

The length of the tree shadows = 37.95 meters

Using similarity principles where the corresponding length are a ratio of each other.

Therefore,

1.75 / x = 33.7 / 37.95

cross multiply

37.95 × 1.75 = 33.7x

66.4125 = 33.7x

divide both sides by 33.7

x = 66.4125 / 33.7

x = 1.97069732938

x = 1.97 meters

To make the chocolate shake, Dona added 40 mL of chocolate syrup,

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

0.225 L of milk, would be required if she uses 450 m L of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, to make the shake, ingredients used by Dina are:

40 m L of chocolate syrup,

200 m L of milk, and 400 m L of water.

So, here Amount of water used = 2 x ( Amount of Milk used) ....... (1)

Now,again the amount of water used by Dona = 450 m L

Let us assume the milk used by her = k m L

⇒ 450 m L = 2 x ( k m L) ( from (1))

or, 450 = 2 k

⇒ k = 450/2 = 225

⇒ k = 225 m L

Also, 1 m L = 0.001 L

So, 225 m L = 225 x 0.001 = 0.225 L

⇒ k = 0.225 L

Hence, 0.225 L of milk, would be required if she uses 450 m L of water.

The power generated by an electrical circuit (in watts) as function of its current x (in amperes) is modeled by: P(x)=-12x^2 +12

Minchanka [31]

Given:

The power generated by an electrical circuit (in watts) as function of its current x (in amperes) is modeled by:

$P(x)=-12x^2+120x$

To find:

The current that will produce the maximum power.

Solution:

We have,

$P(x)=-12x^2+120x$

Here, leading coefficient is negative. So, it is a downward parabola.

Vertex of a downward parabola is the point of maxima.

If a parabola is $f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$ , then

$Vertex=\left(\dfrac{-b}{2a},f(\dfrac{-b}{2a})\right)$

In the given function, a=-12 and b=120. So,

$-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{120}{2(-12)}$

$-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{120}{-24}$

$-\dfrac{b}{2a}=5$

Putting x=5 in the given function, we get

$P(5)=-12(5)^2+120(5)$

$P(5)=-12(25)+600$

$P(5)=-300+600$

$P(5)=300$

Therefore, 5 watt current will produce the maximum power of 300 amperes.

Suppose a computer manufacturer has the total cost function

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

(a) P(x) = 300 x - 3600

(b) P(340) = $ 98400

Step-by-step explanation:

Part (a):

The Profit function is the difference between the revenue function (R(x)) and the Cost (C(x)) function:

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

P(x) = 384 x - [84 x + 3600]

P(x) = 384 x - 84 x - 3600

P(x) = 300 x - 3600

Part (b):

The profit on 340 items is:

P(340) = 300 (340) - 3600

P(340) = 102000 - 3600

P(340) = $ 98400

Part (c):

To avoid losing money, the profit P(x) has to be larger or equal than zero. That is:

P(x) $\geq$ 0

300 x -3600 $\geq$ 0

300 x $\geq$ 3600

x $\geq$ 3600/300

x $\geq$ 12

So at least 12 items must be sold to avoid losing money.
