State when f(x) is increasing , decreasing , concave up , concave down .

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

f(x) = sec x. tan x

⇔ f(x) = 1/cosx . cosx/sinx

⇔ f(x) = sin x

+) when f(x) is increasing => sin x increases

=> x will increase

+) f(x) is decreasing => x will decrease

+) f(x) is concave up => x ∈ (-pi/2; 0)

+) f(x) concave down => x ∈ (0; pi/2)

Customers arrive at a grocery store at an average of 2.1 per minute. Assume that the number of arrivals in a minute follows the

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

a) P(2)=0.270

b) P(X>3)=0.605

c) P=0.410

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that customers arrive at a grocery store at an average of 2.1 per minute. We use the Poisson distribution:

$\boxed{P(k)=\frac{\lambda^k \cdot e^{-\lambda}}{k!}}$

a) In this case: $\lambda=2.1$

$P(2)=\frac{2.1^2 \cdot e^{-2.1}}{2}\\\\P(2)=0.270$

Therefore, the probability is P(2)=0.270.

b) In this case: $\lambda=2\cdot 2.1=4.2$

$P(X>3)=1-P(X\leq 3)\\\\P(X>3)=1-\sum_{x=0}^3 \frac{4.2^x \cdot e^{-4.2}}{x!}\\\\P(X>3)=1-0.395\\\\P(X>3)=0.605$

Therefore, the probability is P(X>3)=0.605.

c) We know that two customers came in in the first minute. That is why we calculate the probability of at least 5 customers entering the other 2 minutes.

In this case: $\lambda=2\cdot 2.1=4.2$

$P(X\geq 5)=1-P(X$

Therefore, the probability is P=0.410.

Tickets to a concert cost $2 for children, $3 for teenagers and $5 for adults. When 570 people attended the concert, the total t

-Dominant- [34]

Let

x--------> the number of children

y------> the number of teenagers

z------> the number of adults

we know that

$2x+3y+5z=1,950$ ------> equation A

$x+y+z=570$ -----> equation B

$y=\frac{3}{4}x$

$x=\frac{4}{3}y$ -------> equation C

Substitute equation C in equation A and equation B

$2[\frac{4}{3}y]+3y+5z=1,950$

$\frac{17}{3}y+5z=1,950$ --------> equation D

$[\frac{4}{3}y]+y+z=570$

$\frac{7}{3}y+z=570$ --------> equation E

Multiply equation E by $-5$

$-\frac{35}{3}y-5z=-2,850$ --------> equation F

Adds equation D and equation F

$\frac{17}{3}y+5z=1,950\\\\-\frac{35}{3}y-5z=-2,850\\\\---------\\\\-\frac{18}{3}y=-900\\\\y=3*900/18\\\\y=150\ teenagers$

therefore

<u>the answer is the option</u>

$150\ teenagers$
