Answer:

x = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x - 10 and f(x) = - 12, then equating gives

2x - 10 = - 12 ( add 10 to both sides )

2x = - 2 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = - 1

According to a survey conducted by Netpop Research, 65% of new car buyers use online search engines as part of their car-buying
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

(a) 0.76

(b) 0.46

(c) 0.58

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first list the probabilities of each event:

Buyers using online search engine: 0.65

Buyers skipping test drive = 0.11

Buyers that use search engines AND skip test drives = 0.65 * 0.11 = 0.07

(a) To find this probability, we simply need to add the probabilities of the above conditions that meet the criteria of the question. Since all of the above conditions meet the criteria set by the question, we have:

Probability = 0.65 + 0.11

Probability = 0.76

(b) The probability of buyers that do not use search engines = 1 - 0.65 = 0.35

Probability of buyers that do not use search engines OR do skip the test drive = 0.35 + 0.11 = 0.46

(c) Probability of buyers buyers that do not skip test drive = 1 - 0.11 = 0.89

Probability of buyers using online search engine AND not skipping the test drive = 0.65 * 0.89 = 0.58

(It must be noted that question c is phrased wrong. Since both events are independent, i.e buying a car OR skipping the test drive would mean 0.65 + 0.89 = 1.54 (not possible) )

Ana has won a lottery. She was offered two options to receive the award: She can either take it in five installments of $60,000
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

She can either take it in five installments of $60,000 annually, starting from now; or she can take a lump-sum of $255,000 now.

<u>First, we determine the value of the 5 installments using a 5% annual compounded rate.</u>

We calculate the future value, and then the present value:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual payments

FV= {60,000*[(1.05^5) - 1]} / 0.05

FV= $331.537.88

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= $259,768.60

At an annual rate of 5% compounded annually, she should choose the five installments instead of the $255,000.

<u>Now, if the annual rate is 6% continuously compounded.</u>

<u>First, we need to calculate the effective interest rate:</u>

r= e^i - 1

r= effective inerest rate

r= e^0.06 - 1

r= 0.0618

FV= {60,000*[(1.0618^5) - 1]} / 0.0618

FV= 339,443.23

PV= 339,443.23/1.0618^5

PV= $251,509.01

At an annual rate of 6% compounded continuously, she should choose the $255,000.

Total profit P is the difference between total revenue R and total cost C. Given the following​ total-revenue and​ total-cost fu
gavmur [86]

Answer:

The profit function is:

P(x)=-x^2+1280x-3300

The maximum value is 406, 300 occurring when x = 640.

Step-by-step explanation:

The revenue function is:

R(x)=1300x-x^2

And the cost function is:

C(x)=3300+20x

Then the total profit function will be:

P(x)=R(x)-C(x)=(1300x-x^2)-(3300+20x)=-x^2+1280x-3300

This is a quadratic function.

Therefore, the maximum value of the total profit will occur at its vertex point.

The vertex of a quadratic is given by:

\displaystyle \Big(-\frac{b}{2a}, f\Big(-\frac{b}{2a}\Big)\Big)

In this case, a = -1, b = 1280, and c = -3300.

Then the point at which the maximum profit occurs is at:

\displaystyle x=-\frac{1280}{2(-1)}=640

And the maximum profit will be:

P(640)=-(640)^2+1280(640)-3300=406300
