Answer:
<h3>x = -14</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation
1/4x +4 = 1/2
Solving for x
Subtract 4 from both sides
1/4x +4 - 4 = 1/2 - 4
1/4 x = (1-8)/2
1/4 x = -7/2
Cross multiply
2x = -7*4
2x = -28
x = -28/2
x = -14
Hence the value of x is -14
Answer:
a. The expected or average costs for all weekly rat purchases is $20.00
Step-by-step explanation:
a. A mean value of $20.00 means that over a period of 52 weeks, the company can expect to spend $20.00 per week on rat purchases.
b. This is incorrect since individual values don't interfere in the mean. For instance, if half the weeks had a cost of $19.00 and the other half had a cost of $21.00, the mean cost would still be $20.00 even though no particular week had a $20.00 cost
c. Incorrect. The median is the central value in a distribution; the median and the mean are not necessarily the same.
d. Incorrect, same as item b.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information:
The diagrammatic interpretation of what the question is all about can be seen in the diagram attached below.
Now, let V(x) be the time needed for the runner to reach the buoy;
∴ We can say that,
In order to estimate the point along the shore, x meters from B, the runner should stop running and start swimming if he want to reach the buoy in the least time possible, then we need to differentiate the function of V(x) and relate it to zero.
i.e
The differential of V(x) = V'(x) =0
=
squaring both sides; we get
By cross multiplying; we get
