Opportunity cost when 3 military outfits are produced is 30

Opportunity cost when 4 military outfits are produced is - 35.

Opportunity cost when 5 military outfits are produced is -50.

As military outfit increases, opportunity cost declines.

<h3>What is the opportunity cost?</h3>

Opportunity cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives

<h3>What is the opportunity cost of producing military outfits? </h3>

Opportunity cost = change in the total pounds of butter produced / change in total outfit produced

Opportunity cost when 3 military outfits are produced = (85 - 115) / (3 - 2) = 30

Opportunity cost when 4 military outfits are produced = (50 - 85) / (4 - 3) = - 35

Opportunity cost when 5 military outfits are produced = (0 - 50) / (5 - 4) = -50

Answer:

$y=-\sqrt{3}x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the equation of a straight line that cuts off an intercept of 2 from the y-axis, and whose perpendicular distance from the origin is 1.

We will let Point M be (x, y). As we know, Point R will be (0, 2) and Point O (the origin) will be (0, 0).

First, we can use the distance formula to determine values for M. The distance formula is given by:

$\displaystyle d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Since we know that the distance between O and M is 1, d=1.

And we will let M(x, y) be (x₂, y₂) and O(0, 0) be (x₁, y₁). So:

$\displaystyle 1=\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2}$

Simplify:

$1=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$

We can solve for y. Square both sides:

$1=x^2+y^2$

Rearranging gives:

$y^2=1-x^2$

Take the square root of both sides. Since M is in the first quadrant, we only need to worry about the positive case. Therefore:

$y=\sqrt{1-x^2}$

So, Point M is now given by (we substitute the above equation for y):

$M(x,\sqrt{1-x^2})$

We know that Segment OM is perpendicular to Line RM.

Therefore, their <em>slopes will be negative reciprocals</em> of each other.

So, let’s find the slope of each segment/line. We will use the slope formula given by:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Segment OM:

For OM, we have two points: O(0, 0) and M(x, √(1-x²)). So, the slope will be:

$\displaystyle m_{OM}=\frac{\sqrt{1-x^2}-0}{x-0}=\frac{\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x}$

Line RM:

For RM, we have the two points R(0, 2) and M(x, √(1-x²)). So, the slope will be:

$\displaystyle m_{RM}=\frac{\sqrt{1-x^2}-2}{x-0}=\frac{\sqrt{1-x^2}-2}{x}$

Since their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other, this means that:

$m_{OM}=-(m_{RM})^{-1}$

Substitute:

$\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x}=-\Big(\frac{\sqrt{1-x^2}-2}{x}\Big)^{-1}$

Now, we can solve for x. Simplify:

$\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x}=\frac{x}{2-\sqrt{1-x^2}}$

Cross-multiply:

$x(x)=\sqrt{1-x^2}(2-\sqrt{1-x^2})$

Distribute:

$x^2=2\sqrt{1-x^2}-(\sqrt{1-x^2})^2$

Simplify:

$x^2=2\sqrt{1-x^2}-(1-x^2)$

Distribute:

$x^2=2\sqrt{1-x^2}-1+x^2$

So:

$0=2\sqrt{1-x^2}-1$

Adding 1 and then dividing by 2 yields:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}=\sqrt{1-x^2}$

Then:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}=1-x^2$

Therefore, the value of x is:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\frac{1}{4}-1&=-x^2\\-\frac{3}{4}&=-x^2\\ \frac{3}{4}&=x^2\\ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}&=x\end{aligned}$

Then, Point M will be:

$\begin{aligned} \displaystyle M(x,\sqrt{1-x^2})&=M(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \sqrt{1-\Big(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\Big)^2)}\\M&=(\frac{\sqrt3}{2},\frac{1}{2})\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the slope of Line RM will be:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}m_{RM}&=\frac{\frac{1}{2}-2}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}-0} \\ &=\frac{\frac{-3}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}\\&=-\frac{3}{\sqrt3}\\&=-\sqrt3\end{aligned}$

And since we know that R is (0, 2), R is the y-intercept of RM. Then, using the slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$

We can see that the equation of Line RM is:

$y=-\sqrt{3}x+2$

Find the probability of being dealt a full house. (Round your answer to six decimal places.)?

vesna_86 [32]

I'm assuming a 5-card hand being dealt from a standard 52-card deck, and that there are no wild cards.

A full house is made up of a 3-of-a-kind and a 2-pair, both of different values since a 5-of-a-kind is impossible without wild cards.

Suppose we fix both card values, say aces and 2s. We get a full house if we are dealt 2 aces and 3 2s, or 3 aces and 2 2s.

The number of ways of drawing 2 aces and 3 2s is

$\dbinom42\dbinom43=24$

and the number of ways of drawing 3 aces and 2 2s is the same,

$\dbinom43\dbinom42=24$

so that for any two card values involved, there are 2*24 = 48 ways of getting a full house.

Now, count how many ways there are of doing this for any two choices of card value. Of 13 possible values, we are picking 2, so the total number of ways of getting a full house for any 2 values is

$2\dbinom{13}2\dbinom42\dbinom43=3744$

The total number of hands that can be drawn is

$\dbinom{52}5=2,598,960$

Then the probability of getting a full house is

$\dfrac{2\binom{13}2\binom42\binom43}{\binom{52}5}=\dfrac6{4165}\approx\boxed{0.001441}$

3<br> Which expression is closest in value to 5.66?

Free_Kalibri [48]

Let's consider the standard and usually used value of irrational numbers given in the question.

It is asked to see which is closed to 5.66

So, let's see the options:

A) GiveN:

$\dfrac{\pi}{2} + \pi$

Let consider π = 3.14

$\dfrac{3.14}{2} + 3.14$

$1.57 + 3.14$

$4.71 \: (approx.)$

B) GiveN:

$2\pi - 1$

Here also, let's consider the value be 3.14

$2 \times 3.14 - 1$

$6.28 - 1$

$5.28 \: (approx.)$

C) GiveN:

$4 \sqrt{2}$

Let's consider the value of √2 be 1.414

$4 \times 1.414$

$5.6516 \: (approx.)$

D) GiveN:

$8 - \sqrt{3}$

Let's consider the value of √3 be 1.732

$8 - 1.732$

$6.268 \: (approx.)$

So, we can see that we have got the approximate value of all the numericals, and the closest to 5.66 is 5.6516 which is the answer of Option C.

So, Correct answer is C
