If you run a plane like in the picture below, I don't think you could get an isosceles triangle, namely, a triangle with two equal sides.

The following function represents the profit P(n), in dollars, that a concert promoter makes by selling tickets for n dollars ea

Gre4nikov [31]

A) zeroes

P(n) = -250 n^2 + 2500n - 5250

Extract common factor:

P(n)= -250 (n^2 - 10n + 21)

Factor (find two numbers that sum -10 and its product is 21)

P(n) = -250(n - 3)(n - 7)

Zeroes ==> n - 3 = 0 or n -7 = 0
Then n = 3 and n = 7 are the zeros.

They rerpesent that if the promoter sells tickets at 3 or 7 dollars the profit is zero.

B) Maximum profit

Completion of squares

n^2 - 10n + 21 = n^2 - 10n + 25 - 4 = (n^2 - 10n+ 25) - 4 = (n - 5)^2 - 4

P(n) = - 250[(n-5)^2 -4] = -250(n-5)^2 + 1000

Maximum ==> - 250 (n - 5)^2 = 0 ==> n = 5 and P(5) = 1000

Maximum profit =1000 at n = 5

C) Axis of symmetry

Vertex = (h,k) when the equation is in the form A(n-h)^2 + k

Comparing A(n-h)^2 + k with - 250(n - 5)^2 + 1000

Vertex = (5, 1000) and the symmetry axis is n = 5.

The mean rent of a 3-bedroom apartment in Orlando is $1300. You randomly select 10 apartments around town. The rents are normall

lana [24]

Answer:

96.49% probability that the mean rent is more than $1100

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 are 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 normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 1300, \sigma = 350, n = 10, s = \frac{350}{\sqrt{10}} = 110.68$

What is the probability that the mean rent is more than $1100?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1100. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{1100 - 1300}{110.68}$

$Z = -1.81$

$Z = -1.81$ has a pvalue of 0.0351

1 - 0.0351 = 0.9649

96.49% probability that the mean rent is more than $1100

HALP Can someone explain why this is a math question

erica [24]

Answer:

If the robot has more mass, then it will take a bigger force to lift up another object. If the robot is going to lift something up, it will use its arms, and its arms have mass, and the object has a mass as well. If the robot's arms have a mass of 10kg, and the object has a mass of 12kg, it will use a certain amount of force to lift up the object using it's arms. If the the robots arms were 5kg instead, it would take less force to lift of the same object using its arms.
