Answer:

K=20

Step-by-step explanation:

There seem to be no randomness in the question.

At 1 per minutes the arrival rate is fixed.

Then compute the average cost for each person to give a four, adding the cost of guide and time waiting cost..

Therefore, K is the number of people hoping will show up.

Number of per minute waiting

= 1/2(K-1)K.

Tour cost 20+1/20(K-1).

Cost per guest= 20/k +1/20(K-1)

If the derivative is set to Zero

K=20

What is the focus of the parabola?<br><br> y=−14x2−2x−2
nataly862011 [7]
First, we need to transform the equation into its standard form (x - h)²=4p(y - k).
Using completing the square method:

y = -14x² - 2x - 2
y = -14(x² + 2x/14) - 2
y = -14(x² + 2x/14 + (2/28)²) -2 + (2/28)²
y = -14(x + 1/14)² - 391/196
-1/14(y + 391/196) = (x + 1/14)²

This is a vertical parabola and its focus <span>(h, k + p) is (-1/14, -391/196 + 1/56) = (-1/14, -775/392).

Or (-0.071,-1.977).</span>
