1. A newspaper headline claims: "Apple spends far less on Research & Development
than any of its rivals." Further into the story, the reporter writes that Apple spends a
paltry 2% of revenues compared with 14% at Google and Microsoft.
a. What is the mistaken assumption here?
b. Why is that assumption incorrect?
c. Is there a situation where the headline is still correct?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The mistaken assumption is that Apple spends "far less" on Research and Development than any of its rivals.

b)

The assumption is incorrect because it took cognizance of the percentage used, and not the actual money spent. In truth, Apple generates far more income than the other two rivals. With Apple generating over $100bn in the said time span, and Google generating $37bn. At the end of the day, Apple spends $2.1bn on Research and Development, while Google spends $5.3bn on the same. This is quite close than the quoted distance of 14% - 2%

c)

Yes, I think so. But only when the 3 companies generate almost the same revenue.

Answer 2

Based on the description of the headline given in the scenario, the solution to the problems posed are :

A.)

The mistake in the assumption is that, the headline focused just on the percentage of the revenue made by each company that is spent on R&D.

B.)

The assumption is incorrect because, the revenue generated by the companies aren't the same. Hence, making comparison based on the percentage alone is incorrect.

C.)

The headline may be correct only when the revenue generated by each company is the same.

Answer:

m<B = 62°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ∆ABC is congruent to ∆TUV, it follows that their corresponding angles are equal to each other. Therefore:

m<B = m<U

m<B = (3y + 2)°

m<U = (4y - 18)°

Thus,

3y + 2 = 4y - 18

Collect like terms

18 + 2 = 4y - 3y

20 = y

y = 20

m<B = (3y + 2)°

Plug in the value of x

m<B = 3(20) + 2

m<B = 60 + 2

m<B = 62°

Based on △GHI below, which of the following inequalities is true?

Answers

Answer:

C. [tex] \overline{GI} < \overline{GH} < \overline{HI} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, the longest side is opposite to the largest measure of angle. The medium side is opposite to the medium angle, while the shortest side is opposite to the smallest angle.

In ∆GHI,

✍️m<G = 95°, it is opposite to [tex] \overline{HI} [/tex]

<G is the largest angle, therefore, [tex] \overline{HI} [/tex] is the longest side.

✍️m<I = 180 - (95 + 38) = 47°.

<I is opposite to [tex] \overline{GH} [/tex]

<I is the medium angle, therefore, [tex] \overline{GH} [/tex] is the medium side.

✍️m<H = 38°, it is opposite to [tex] \overline{GI} [/tex]

<h is the smallest angle, therefore, [tex] \overline{GI} [/tex] is the shortest side.

✅This means:

First find slope: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
The points: (-3,-1), (6,-7)
(-7+1)/(6+3) = -6/9 = -2/3
Use equation: y = mx + b
y = -2/3x + b
Plot in any point
-1 = -2/3(-3) + b
-1 = 2 + b, b = -3
Final equation in slope intercept form:
Y = -2/3x -3

Answer:

y = -[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of the equation of the line (linear equation) is:

y = ax + b

The line passes through (-3, -1) and (6, -7), i.e:

(1) (x=-3, y=-1) is a point that verifies the equation of the line, and

(2) (x=6, y=-7) also verifies the equation.

So we can put up a system of 2 equations to obtain a and b:

y = ax + b

(1) -1 = a (-3) + b

(2) -7 = a (6) + b

______________

substracting (1) - (2) we can obtain a:

-1 - (-7) = a (-3-6) ⇒ 6 = -9 a  a = -2/3

by replacing a in (1) we can obtain b:

-1 = -2/3 (-3) + b ⇒ -1 -2 = b b = -3

so, the equation is:  y = ax + b ⇒ y = -2/3 x - 3

Verification: (2) giving x= 6, let's see if y=-7 is obtained:

y = -2/3 6 - 3 ⇒  y = -4 - 3 = 7 ⇒ RIGHT!

Answers

Answer:

The acceleration is 2.9m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Determine the acceleration

This question will be answered using Newton's first equation of motion.

[tex]v = u + at[/tex]

Substitute values for v, u and t

[tex]35 = 6 + 10 * a[/tex]

[tex]35 = 6 + 10 a[/tex]

10k=50

k=5

Answer:

[tex]k = 5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]12k - 15 = 35 + 2k[/tex]

Our goal is to isolate k

[tex]12k - 15 = 35 + 2k\\\;\;\;\;+15 \;\;\;\;\;\;\; +15[/tex]

[tex]12k = 50 + 2k\\-2k \;\;\;\;\;\;\;\; -2k[/tex]

[tex]10k = 50[/tex]

Now we have k isolated to one side. Our final step is to have k be just k, no coefficient. We can do this by dividing each side by the coefficient.

[tex]\large\frac{10k}{10} = \frac{50}{10} \\\\10k\;\div\;10 = k\\50\;\div\;10 = 5\\[/tex]

A ping pong ball has a diameter of 4cm. How many ping pong balls will fit in a room that is 9.5 meters long, 7.5 meters wide, and 3 meters high?(Hint: 1 meter = 100 centimeters)

Answers

Answer:

6042915 balls.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a ping pong ball is;

V = (4/3)πr³

diameter of ping pong ball is given 4cm = 0.04 m

Radius; r = 0.04/2 = 0.02 m

V = (4/3)π(0.02³)

V = 0.00003351032 m³

Room is 9.5 meters long, 7.5 meters wide, and 3 meters high.

Volume; V = 9 × 7.5 × 3 = 202.5 m³

Number of ping pong balls that will fit into the room = volume of room/volume of ping pong balls = 202.5/0.00003351032 = 6042914.540956151

Approximately 6042915 balls.

first, i’d put the fraction into a decimal, then distribute, for example the fraction would be multiplied by y and 3 separately. then equal that to 40. it should now be a simple equation

Answer:

y = 69

Step-by-step explanation:

start with the distributive property:

5/9 * y and 5/9 * 3

and now you have: 5/9y + 15/9 = 40

and we have to isolate y so subtract 15/9 from both sides:

5/9y + 15/9 = 40

        - 15/9     -15/9

and now you have 5/9y = 345/9

and now divide both sides by 5/9 so: 5/9y divided by 5/9 = y

and 345/9 divided by 5/9 = 345/5 and lets simplify....

y= 69

A mixture of purple paint contains 8 teaspoons of red paint and 12 teaspoons of blue paint. To make the same shade of purple paint using 36 teaspoons of blue paint, how much red paint would you need?

Answers

Answer:

24 teaspoons of red paint would be needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the initial mixture contains 8 teaspoons of red paint and 12 teaspoons of blue paint, this mixture contains a total of 20 units of paint, of which 8 are red, that is, 8 out of 20. Therefore, the proportion of red paint is 40%, while the proportion of blue paint is 60% remaining.

Therefore, in the case of making the same mixture (with the same proportion) using 36 teaspoons of blue paint, the necessary amount of red paint is determined through the following calculation:

60 = 36

40 = X

((40 x 36) / 60) = X

1,440 = 60 = X

24 = X

Thus, 24 teaspoons of red paint would be needed.

16.50

Now you need to look at the 10th number which is 5 and to round it up you need to look at the number after that which would be 0, we know that anything that is 4 or below gets rounded down so your answer for this question is simply 16.5.

I hope that helped you and good luck!
