Using a System to Break Even
andreev551 [17]

Answer: P^2 - 10p + 24 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a company’s weekly revenue, in thousands, is modeled by the equation

R = -p2 + 14p,

where p is the price of the product it makes. The company is considering hiring an outside source to distribute its products, which will cost the company 4p + 24 thousand dollars per week.

If the company want to break even, the cost of hiring distributors will be equal to the revenue per week.

Therefore,

-P^2 + 14p = 4p + 24

Collect the like terms

-P^2 + 14p - 4p - 24 = 0

-P^2 + 10p - 24 = 0

Multiply all by minus sign

P^2 - 10p + 24 = 0

Find the value of $x$ for the right triangle. A right triangle with base labeled x and hypotenuse labeled 12 units. Angle betwee
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

6 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle described in the question has been sketched in the picture attached below :

From the triangle, we could solve for X, which is the base of the triangle using trigonometry :

Sinθ = opposite / hypotenus

Sin 30° = x / 12

0.5 = x / 12

x = 12 * 0.5

x = 6 feets

Hence base, x = 6 feets

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

(a) 0.6

(b) 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

If I am reading the little table right, You have made 9 shots, and have missed 6 of them. Therefore, in total, you have made 9+6=15 shots.

The definition of probability is the number of events of a desired outcome divided by the total number of outcomes. Since you wish to make a shot for part a, the number of desired outcomes thus far is 9, out of 15 total shots. Thus,

P(making a shot)=\frac{9}{15}=\frac{3}{5}=0.6

Since making a shot and not making a shot are mutually exclusive events, and the only two events that could occur when shooting a basket, the probability of not making a shot and the probability of making a shot are all of the possible outcomes, and is thus equal to 1.

P(making a shot)+P(missing a shot) =1

P(missing a shot)=1-P(making a shot)

P(missing a shot)=1-0.6=0.4
