An employee compiled sales data for a company once each month. The scatter plot below shows the sales (in multiples of $1000) fo

r the company over time (in months). The equation represents the linear model for this data.
y = 0.94x + 12.5

According to the model, how much do the company's sales increase per month?

$940

$1250

$5000

$9400

$12,500

Answer:

940

Step-by-step explanation:

The scatter plot below shows the sales (in multiples of $1000) for the company over time (in months).

Also the sales can be modeled by the help of a linear function as:

y = 0.94x + 12.5.

Now we know that the company's sales increase per month is the slope of the linear function by which this situation is modeled.

We know that for any linear function of the type:

y=mx+c

'm' represents the slope and 'c' represents the y-intercept of the line.

Hence, by looking at the equation we get:

m=0.94

but as the sales are multiplied by 1000.

Hence,

0.94×1000=$ 940.

Hence, the company's sales increase per month is:

$ 940

The sum of two terms of gp is 6 and that of first four terms is 15/2.Find the sum of first six terms.

Gnoma [55]

Given:

The sum of two terms of GP is 6 and that of first four terms is $\dfrac{15}{2}.$

To find:

The sum of first six terms.

Solution:

We have,

$S_2=6$

$S_4=\dfrac{15}{2}$

Sum of first n terms of a GP is

$S_n=\dfrac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}$ ...(i)

Putting n=2, we get

$S_2=\dfrac{a(1-r^2)}{1-r}$

$6=\dfrac{a(1-r)(1+r)}{1-r}$

$6=a(1+r)$ ...(ii)

Putting n=4, we get

$S_4=\dfrac{a(1-r^4)}{1-r}$

$\dfrac{15}{2}=\dfrac{a(1-r^2)(1+r^2)}{1-r}$

$\dfrac{15}{2}=\dfrac{a(1+r)(1-r)(1+r^2)}{1-r}$

$\dfrac{15}{2}=6(1+r^2)$ (Using (ii))

Divide both sides by 6.

$\dfrac{15}{12}=(1+r^2)$

$\dfrac{5}{4}-1=r^2$

$\dfrac{5-4}{4}=r^2$

$\dfrac{1}{4}=r^2$

Taking square root on both sides, we get

$\pm \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{4}}=r$

$\pm \dfrac{1}{2}=r$

$\pm 0.5=r$

Case 1: If r is positive, then using (ii) we get

$6=a(1+0.5)$

$6=a(1.5)$

$\dfrac{6}{1.5}=a$

$4=a$

The sum of first 6 terms is

$S_6=\dfrac{4(1-(0.5)^6)}{(1-0.5)}$

$S_6=\dfrac{4(1-0.015625)}{0.5}$

$S_6=8(0.984375)$

$S_6=7.875$

Case 2: If r is negative, then using (ii) we get

$6=a(1-0.5)$

$6=a(0.5)$

$\dfrac{6}{0.5}=a$

$12=a$

The sum of first 6 terms is

$S_6=\dfrac{12(1-(-0.5)^6)}{(1+0.5)}$

$S_6=\dfrac{12(1-0.015625)}{1.5}$

$S_6=8(0.984375)$

$S_6=7.875$

Therefore, the sum of the first six terms is 7.875.

If 1800ml of a juice drink is 15% grape juice, how much grape juice should be added to make a drink that is 20% grape juice?

Svetach [21]

Answer:

112.5 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of grape juice to add. Then the total amount of grape juice in the mix is ...

0.15(1800) +x = 0.20(1800+x)

270 +x = 360 + 0.2x . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

0.8x = 90 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 270+0.2x

x = 90/0.8 = 112.5 . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

112 mL of grape juice should be added to make a mix that is 20% grape juice.
