Answer:

20 Bicycles

Step-by-step explanation:

The function for the average cost,C(x) [in hundred of dollars] per bicycle whenever x hundred bicycles are built is given as:

$C(x)=0.5x^2-0.2x+6.756$

The minimum value of C occurs at the axis of symmetry.

Axis of Symmetry, $x=-\frac{b}{2a}$

Comparing with the standard form of a quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$

a=0.5, b=-0.2

$x=-\frac{(-0.2)}{2*0.5}\\x=0.2$

x=0.2 Hundreds =0.2 X 100 =20

When Aki's Bicycle Designs produces 20 Bicycles, the cost is minimized.

Two streams flow into a reservoir. Let X and Y be two continuous random variables representing the flow of each stream with join

zlopas [31]

Answer:

c = 0.165

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x, y) = cx y(1 + y) for 0 ≤ x ≤ 3 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 3,

f(x, y) = 0 otherwise.

Required:

The value of c

To find the value of c, we make use of the property of a joint probability distribution function which states that

$\int\limits^a_b \int\limits^a_b {f(x,y)} \, dy \, dx = 1$

where a and b represent -infinity to +infinity (in other words, the bound of the distribution)

By substituting cx y(1 + y) for f(x, y) and replacing a and b with their respective values, we have

$\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {cxy(1+y)} \, dy \, dx = 1$

Since c is a constant, we can bring it out of the integral sign; to give us

$c\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {xy(1+y)} \, dy \, dx = 1$

Open the bracket

$c\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {xy+xy^{2} } \, dy \, dx = 1$

Integrate with respect to y

$c\int\limits^3_0 {\frac{xy^{2}}{2} +\frac{xy^{3}}{3} } \, dx (0,3}) = 1$

Substitute 0 and 3 for y

$c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{x* 3^{2}}{2} +\frac{x * 3^{3}}{3} ) - (\frac{x* 0^{2}}{2} +\frac{x * 0^{3}}{3})} \, dx = 1$

$c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{x* 9}{2} +\frac{x * 27}{3} ) - (0 +0) \, dx = 1$

$c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{9x}{2} +\frac{27x}{3} ) \, dx = 1$

Add fraction

$c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{27x + 54x}{6}) \, dx = 1$

$c\int\limits^3_0 {\frac{81x}{6} \, dx = 1$

Rewrite;

$c\int\limits^3_0 (81x * \frac{1}{6}) \, dx = 1$

The $\frac{1}{6}$ is a constant, so it can be removed from the integral sign to give

$c * \frac{1}{6}\int\limits^3_0 (81x ) \, dx = 1$

$\frac{c}{6}\int\limits^3_0 (81x ) \, dx = 1$

Integrate with respect to x

$\frac{c}{6} * \frac{81x^{2}}{2} (0,3) = 1$

Substitute 0 and 3 for x

$\frac{c}{6} * \frac{81 * 3^{2} - 81 * 0^{2}}{2} = 1$

$\frac{c}{6} * \frac{81 * 9 - 0}{2} = 1$

$\frac{c}{6} * \frac{729}{2} = 1$

$\frac{729c}{12} = 1$

Multiply both sides by $\frac{12}{729}$

$c = \frac{12}{729}$

$c = 0.0165 (Approximately)$
