A banner is hung for a party. The distance from a point on the bottom edge of the banner to the floor can be determined by using

the function f(x) = 0.25 x2 − x + 9.5 , where x is the distance, in feet, of the point from the left end of the banner. How high above the floor is the lowest point on the bottom edge of the banner? Explain.

That's possible when function tends to zero

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 0.25x^2-x+9.5=0

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 1/4x^2-x+19/2=0

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow x^2-x+38=0

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow x=\dfrac{1\pm\sqrt{1-152}}{2}

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow x=\dfrac{1\pm\sqrt{151}i}{2}

Answer:

8.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 0.25x^2 - x + 9.5

To find the minimum point of the function, differentiate:

f'(x) = 0.5x - 1

set to zero and solve for x:

f'(x) =0\\ \implies0.5x - 1=0\\\implies x=2

Substitute found value of x into function to find y (height):

f(2) = 0.25(2)^2 - 2 + 9.5=8.5

Therefore, the lowest point on the bottom edge of the banner is 8.5 ft above the floor.

Answer:

NPV = $ 17,200,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Total expenditures = $ 11,000,000

Net cash inflow = $ 3,000,000 per year

total duration of cash inflow = 9 years

Thus, total cash inflow = $ 3,000,000 per year × 9 years = $ 27,000,000

salvage value = $ 1.2 million = $ 1,200,000

NPV = Salvage value + total cash flow - Expenditures

on substituting the values, we get

NPV = $ 1,200,000 + $ 27,000,000 - $ 11,000,000

or

NPV = $ 17,200,000

How many persons are in the line? Ashley is in the line to buy a ticket. There are twice as many people in front of Ashley as th
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

I am pretty sure there are 10 people in line.

Since Ashley is the seventh person in line, we can deduce that <u><em>there are 6 people in front of her</em></u>.

Since the amount of people in front of her is "twice as many people as there are behind her," we can divide the value of the people in front of her in half to get the value of people behind her.

6/2 is 3, so <em>there are </em><u><em>3 people behind Ashley</em></u><em>. </em>

Now, lets add the amount of people in front of Ashley to the amount of people behind her. 3 + 6 = 9, and since Ashley is also in the line, we should add 1 to the sum.

9 + 1 = 10, so <u><em>there are 10 people in the line</em></u>.
