Answer:

116 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by first writing an equation for the cost of the car rental. To begin, the base cost is $17.95, so any further costs must be added to that. Next, the car costs 19 cents (0.19 dollars) for each mile driven, so for each mile, we add 19 cents. This can be written as 0.19 *x if x represents the amount of miles driven. Therefore, we can add the two input costs of the car (the base cost and cost per mile) to get

17.95 + 0.19 * x = total cost.

After that, we want to maximize x/the number of miles with only 40 dollars. We can do this by setting this equal to the total cost, as going over the total cost is impossible and going under would be limiting the amount of miles (this because we are adding money for each mile, so more money means more miles). Therefore, we have

17.95 + 0.19 * x = 40

subtract 17.95 from both sides to isolate the x and its coefficient

22.05 = 0.19 * x

divide both sides by 0.19 to isolate x

22.05/0.19 = x = 116.05

The question asked us to round down, and 116.05 rounded down is 116 for our answer

Rewrite this radicand as two factors, one of which is a perfect square.

seropon [69]

Answer:

$2 \sqrt{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) rewrite 60 as it's prime factors.

$\sqrt{2 \times 2 \times 3 \times } 5$

2) group the smae prime factors into pairs.

$\sqrt{(2 \times 2)} \times 3 \times 5$

3) Rewrite each pair in exponent form.

$\sqrt{ {2}^{2} \times 3 \times 5 }$

4) use this role:

$\sqrt{ {x}^{2} } = x$

$2 \sqrt{3 \times 5}$

5) Simplify.

$4 \sqrt{15}$

So, therefor, the answer is option 1.

What is the importance of polynomial functions and how this real life applications improve or contribute to the value of life

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

What is the importance of polynomial functions?

Polynomials are an important part of the "language" of mathematics and algebra. They are used in nearly every field of mathematics to express numbers as a result of mathematical operations. Polynomials are also "building blocks" in other types of mathematical expressions, such as rational expressions.

How these real-life applications improve or contribute to the value of life?

Since polynomials are used to describe curves of various types, people use them in the real world to graph curves. Combinations of polynomial functions are sometimes used in economics to do cost analyses, for example. Engineers use polynomials to graph the curves of roller coasters and bridges.

The operation manager at a tire manufacturing company believes that the mean mileage of a tire is 48,564 miles, with a standard

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

0.0091 = 0.91% probability that the sample mean would be less than 48,101 miles in a sample of 281 tires if the manager is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$
