Answer:

$110, $44

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the total cost to Stefan

Jim buys for:

bicycle: $138

helmet: $16

total: $138 + $16 = $154

Jim's price of $154 is 140% of Stefan's cost, x.

154 = 140% × x

1.4x = 154

x = 110

Stefan spent $110.

Stefan's profit:

$154 - $110 = $44

Answer: $110, $44

How do you go from Vertex To standard Form?
Lynna [10]

The vertex form:

y=a(x-h)^2+k

The standard form:

y=ax^2+bx+c


y=a(x-h)^2+k\qquad\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\y=a(x^2+2xh+h^2)+k\qquad\text{use distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\y=ax^2+2ahx+ah^2+k

I have the answer I just have this one question. Will all the paint fit into the bucket?
klasskru [66]

Answer:

brandon

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, there id 4 pints of green paint in the bucket.

As the green paint is made from equal amounts of yellow paint and blue paint, so, the initial amount of yellow and blue paint in the bucket  is 2 pint each.

Let x pints of yellow paint to be added to the bucket to make the desired shade.

Total amount of the paint in the bucket, after addition of  pints of yellow color become  pint, in which the ampunt of yellow color is  pints.

As, the ampunt of yellow color is 80% of the total amount of the mixture, so

So, 6 pints of yellow paint to be added to the bucket to make the desired shade.

Hence, Brandon is correct.

Population Growth A lake is stocked with 500 fish, and their population increases according to the logistic curve where t is mea
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) For this case we just need to see what is the value of the function when x tnd to infinity. As we can see in our original function if x goes to infinity out function tend to 1000 and thats our limiting size.

c) p'(t) =\frac{19000 e^{-\frac{t}{5}}}{5 (1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^2}

And if we find the derivate when t=1 we got this:

p'(t=1) =\frac{38000 e^{-\frac{1}{5}}}{(1+19e^{-\frac{1}{5}})^2}=113.506 \approx 114

And if we replace t=10 we got:

p'(t=10) =\frac{38000 e^{-\frac{10}{5}}}{(1+19e^{-\frac{10}{5}})^2}=403.204 \approx 404

d) 0 = \frac{7600 e^{-\frac{t}{5}} (19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1)}{(1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^3}

And then:

0 = 7600 e^{-\frac{t}{5}} (19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1)

0 =19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1

ln(\frac{1}{19}) = -\frac{t}{5}

t = -5 ln (\frac{1}{19}) =14.722

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete problem: "A lake is stocked with 500 fish, and the population increases according to the logistic curve p(t) = 10000 / 1 + 19e^-t/5 where t is measured in months. (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function. (b) What is the limiting size of the fish population? (c) At what rates is the fish population changing at the end of 1 month and at the end of 10 months? (d) After how many months is the population increasing most rapidly?"

Solution to the problem

We have the following function

P(t)=\frac{10000}{1 +19e^{-\frac{t}{5}}}

(a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function.

If we use desmos we got the figure attached.

(b) What is the limiting size of the fish population?

For this case we just need to see what is the value of the function when x tnd to infinity. As we can see in our original function if x goes to infinity out function tend to 1000 and thats our limiting size.

(c) At what rates is the fish population changing at the end of 1 month and at the end of 10 months?

For this case we need to calculate the derivate of the function. And we need to use the derivate of a quotient and we got this:

p'(t) = \frac{0 - 10000 *(-\frac{19}{5}) e^{-\frac{t}{5}}}{(1+e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^2}

And if we simplify we got this:

p'(t) =\frac{19000 e^{-\frac{t}{5}}}{5 (1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^2}

And if we simplify we got:

p'(t) =\frac{38000 e^{-\frac{t}{5}}}{(1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^2}

And if we find the derivate when t=1 we got this:

p'(t=1) =\frac{38000 e^{-\frac{1}{5}}}{(1+19e^{-\frac{1}{5}})^2}=113.506 \approx 114

And if we replace t=10 we got:

p'(t=10) =\frac{38000 e^{-\frac{10}{5}}}{(1+19e^{-\frac{10}{5}})^2}=403.204 \approx 404

(d) After how many months is the population increasing most rapidly?

For this case we need to find the second derivate, set equal to 0 and then solve for t. The second derivate is given by:

p''(t) = \frac{7600 e^{-\frac{t}{5}} (19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1)}{(1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^3}

And if we set equal to 0 we got:

0 = \frac{7600 e^{-\frac{t}{5}} (19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1)}{(1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^3}

And then:

0 = 7600 e^{-\frac{t}{5}} (19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1)

0 =19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1

ln(\frac{1}{19}) = -\frac{t}{5}

t = -5 ln (\frac{1}{19}) =14.722

Find the area of a circle in feet with the radius being 3'.
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

28.27 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

A=\pi r^2 where r is the radius

Plug in 3 for the radius

A=\pi (3)^2\\A=9\pi

A=28.27 (approximate answer when rounded to the nearest hundredth)

Therefore, the area of the circle is 28.27 ft².

I hope this helps!
