9. The ticket at right has a perimeter of 42 cm.

1 answer:

4 0

Perimeter simply represents the sum of all side lengths of a shape. The length of the missing side of the ticket is 5 cm; the length of gold line on each ticket is 20 cm, and 2 bottles of gold ink are required to draw gold lines on 200 tickets.

I've added the image of the ticket as an attachment.

(a) The missing side length

From the attachment, the 4 unknown side lengths are equal. Represent this side length with L.

So, we have:

$Perimeter =2\times 11 + 4 \times L$

This gives

$2\times11 + 4 \times L = 42$

$22 + 4 \times L = 42$

Collect like terms

$4 \times L = 42-22$

$4 \times L = 20$

Divide both sides by 4

$L =5cm$

(b) The length of the gold lines

There are 4 slant lines and the length of one of the slant lines is 5 cm (as calculated above).

So, the length of the gold line is:

$Gold = 4 \times L$

$Gold = 4 \times 5cm$

$Gold = 20cm$

$n = 200$ --- number of tickets

The length of all gold line in the 200 tickets is:

$Length = 200 \times Gold$

$Length = 200 \times 20cm$

$Length = 4000 cm$

$Length = 4000 \times 0.01m$ ---- convert to meters

$Length = 40m$

Given that:

$Bottle = 20m$ --- 1 bottle for 20 m

The number of bottles (n) is:

$n = \frac{Length}{Bottles}$

$n = \frac{40m}{20m}$

$n = 2$

Hence, 2 bottles of gold ink are enough.

quester [9]

Answer:

There are 96 ways different 4 digit numbers which can be made from these 5 digits.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5 different digits. The first one must be

1 3 5 or 7

So you can have 4 for the first one. Now the zero can be put into the mix.

Damm [24]

Complete question is;

Keegan is printing and selling his original design on t-shirts. He has concluded that for x shirts, in thousands sold his total profits will be p(x) = -x³ + 4x² + x dollars, in thousands will be earned. How many t-shirts (rounded to the nearest whole number) should he print in order to make maximum profits? What will his profits rounded to the nearest whole dollar be if he prints that number of shirts?

Answer:

Number of t-shirts to make maximum profit = 2790 shirts

Maximum profit = $12,209

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are given that the profit function is;

p(x) = -x³ + 4x² + x

For the maximum value of the profit function,

(dp/dx) = 0 and (d²p/dx²) < 0

Since, p(x) = -x³ + 4x² + x

Then,

(dp/dx) = -3x² + 8x + 1

at maximum point (dp/dx) = 0, thus;

-3x² + 8x + 1 = 0

Solving this using quadratic formula, the roots are;

x = -0.12 or 2.79

Also, (d²p/dx²) = -6x + 8

Now, let's put the roots of x into -6x + 8 and check for maximum value conditon;

at x = -0.12

(d²p/dx²) = -6(0.12) + 8 = 7.28 > 0

At x = 2.79

(d²p/dx²) = -6(2.79) + 8 = -8.74 < 0

Maximum has to be d²p/dx² < 0

So, the one that meets the condition is -8.74 < 0 at x = 2.79

Thus, the maximum of the profit function exists when the number of shirts, x = 2.79 (in thousands) = 2790

Now, the maximum profits that corresponds to this number of t-shirts of 2.79(in thousands) is obtained by putting 2.79 for x in the profit function;

So,

p(2.79) = -(2.79)³ + 4(2.79²) + 2.79

p(x) = -21.7176 + 31.1364 + 2.79

p(x) = 12.2088 (in thousand dollars) ≈ $12,209

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

d. backward sloping.

Step-by-step explanation:

The roommate receives a pay raise at her part-time job from $9 to $11 per hour and now decides to work 20 hours per week instead to 25 hours per week.

We can see that her rate is decreasing, so her labor supply curve is backward sloping or also called backward bending.

It is mostly found that worker's labor supply curve, slopes upward when they get lower wages and the curve bends backward when they get higher wages because a worker tends to work less when his wage rate rises.

G(x)=-x^2-1-2x f(x)=x+5 Find (g-f)(x)

nikitadnepr [17]

(g-f)(x) is x² - 3x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Given g(x) = x² - 1 - 2x, f(x) = x + 5. Find (g-f)(x)

(g-f)(x) = x² - 2x - 1 - (x + 5) = x² - 2x - 1 - x - 5 = x² - 3x - 6
