Help Me Plz Find The Value Of X For Which QR Is Parallel To RS

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

QR is parallel to RS.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

In the given figure, we have,

[tex]PR=12[/tex]

[tex]RT=2x-2 [/tex]

[tex]QS=21[/tex]

[tex]ST=3x-1[/tex]

Using basic proportionality theorem (BPT), we get

[tex]\dfrac{PR}{RT}=\dfrac{QS}{ST}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{12}{2x-2}=\dfrac{21}{3x-1}[/tex]

On cross multiplication, we get

[tex]12(3x-1)=21(2x-2)[/tex]

[tex]36x-12=42x-42[/tex]

[tex]36x-42x=12-42[/tex]

[tex]-6x=-30[/tex]

Divide both sides by -6.

[tex]x=\dfrac{-30}{-6}[/tex]

[tex]x=5[/tex]

Therefore, the value of x is 5.

a. Sketch a graph to model Seattle's cost structure over the domain [0, 42,000]. Be sure to label the axes and any endpoints where the graph breaks.


b. Describe the function over each part of its domain. State whether it is constant, increasing or decreasing, and state the slope over each part. ​

Answers

Part (a)

The graph is shown below. It's a piecewise function composed of 3 parts: Two flat horizontal segments and a decreasing segment.

Note the use of open holes at points C and E. They tell the reader that the specific point is not part of the function. For example, point C at (8000,0.75) is an open hole since the second piece has x = 8000 excluded. In other words, the domain for the second piece is [tex]8,000 < x \le 20,000[/tex] which says to exclude 8000 but to include 20,000.

============================================================

Part (b)

The flat parts are due to the two first pieces being constant functions. Regardless of what x is on those portions, the cost per unit stays the same. We see that the cost starts off at 35 cents per unit (green segment), then it jumps to 75 cents per unit (blue segment).

So far the costs have been constant, but once we get to the red curve portion, then the costs decrease as x increases. Note that 1/(200,000) = 0.000005 which means the costs are decreasing by 0.000005 dollars per unit. Let's multiply that by 10,000 to get 10,000*0.000005 = 0.05

So for the red portion, the costs are decreasing by $0.05 per 10,000 units, or they are decreasing by 5 cents per 10,000 units. When x > 20000, the lowest we can get the cost is at 62 cents per unit. This is when production is at max capacity (42,000 units).

If you wanted the cost per unit to be as small as possible, and x didn't have to be larger than 20 thousand, then you'd stick to the green line. However, the drawback here is that you can only produce at max 8000 units.

: If Newton Manufacturers has an accounts receivable turnover of 4.8 times and net sales of $7,812,379, what would its receivables be?

Answers

Answer:

$1,627,579

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The account receivable turnover is 4.8 times

And, the net sales is $7,812,379

We need to find out the receivable

So as we know that

accounts receivable turnover = net sales ÷ average accounts receivables

Therefore the accounts receivables is

= ($7,812,379 ÷ 4.8)

= $1,627,578.96

= $1,627,579

The probability that a tennis set will go to a tiebreaker is 16%. In 220 randomly selected tennis sets, what is the mean and the standard deviation of the number of tiebreakers

Answers

Answer:

The mean number of tiebreakers is of 35.2 and the standard deviation is of 5.44.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each set, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it goes to a tiebreak, or it does not. The probability of a set going to a tiebreak is independent of any other set, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

The probability that a tennis set will go to a tiebreaker is 16%.

This means that [tex]p = 0.16[/tex]

220 randomly selected tennis sets

This means that [tex]n = 220[/tex]

What is the mean and the standard deviation of the number of tiebreakers?

[tex]E(X) = np = 220*0.16 = 35.2[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{220*0.16*0.84} = 5.44[/tex]

The mean number of tiebreakers is of 35.2 and the standard deviation is of 5.44.

Which choices are equations for the line shown below? Check all that apply.
(-2, 4)
(1-2)

Answers

Answer:

A, C and F.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line:

The equation of a line has two formats:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

Slope-intercept format, in which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept(which is the value of x when y = 0).

And in point-slope form:

[tex]y - y(0) = m(x - x(0))[/tex]

In which (x(0),y(0)) is the point and m is the slope.

Slope:

When we have two points on a line, the slope is given by the change in y divided by the change in x. We have points (-2,4), (1,-2). So

Change in y: -2 - 4 = -6

Change in x: 1 - (-2) = 1 + 2 = 3. So

m = -6/3 = -2.

Equation in slope-intercept:

The y-intercept is y = 0, so b = 0. The equation in slope-intercept formula is:

[tex]y = -2x[/tex], so option A is marked.

Equation if point-slope:

Point (-2,4) means that [tex]x_0 = -2, y_0 = 4[/tex]. So

[tex]y - y(0) = m(x - x(0))[/tex]

[tex]y - 4 = -2(x - (-2))[/tex]

[tex]y - 4 = -2(x + 2)[/tex]

So option C is correct.

Point (1,-2) means that [tex]x_0 = 1, y_0 = -2[/tex]. So

[tex]y - y_0 = m(x - x(0))[/tex]

[tex]y - (-2) = -2(x - 1)[/tex]

[tex]y + 2 = -2(x - 1)[/tex]

So option F is correct.

Answer:

Options A, C and F are correct.

Answers

Answer: Choice B

Each time we're adding 122 to each term to get the next term

232+122 = 354354+122 = 476476+122 = 598

This goes on forever because of the three dots, hence the set is infinitely large.

We say that the common difference is 122. Subtracting any two adjacent terms gets us this value. Eg: 354-232 = 122.

and tip? Round to the nearest cent. Show your work.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

bill was $56.80

tip was 20% so was 56.80/ 5( because 5 of 20% will make 100%)= $11.36

tax was 8% so was 56.80*8/100= $4.54

total money paid

56.80+4.54+11.36 = 72.70

Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 24 years, its mass decreases by
half. Given that the initial mass of a sample of Element X is 70 grams, how long
would it be until the mass of the sample reached 61 grams, to the nearest tenth of a
year?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We get to use the simple version of the half life equation:

[tex]N=N_0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{H}[/tex] where N is the amount of radioactive element left after a specific number of years,

N0 is the initial amount of the element,

t is the number of years (our unknown), and

H is the Half life of the element. For us,

N is 61

N0 is 70,

t is unknown,

H is 24 years. Filling in:

[tex]61=70(.5)^{\frac{t}{24}[/tex]. We begin by dividing both sides by 70 to get:

[tex].8714285=(.5)^{\frac{t}{24}[/tex] and then take the natural log of both sides:

[tex]ln(.8714285=ln(.5)^{\frac{t}{24}[/tex] which allows us to bring down the exponent to the front on the right side:

[tex]ln(.8714285)=\frac{t}{24}ln(.5)[/tex]. We divide both sides by ln(.5) to get:

[tex].1985457976=\frac{t}{24}[/tex] and then multiply both sides by 24 to get:

t = 4.8 years

On a particular day, 112 of 280 passengers on a particular DTW-LAX flight used the e-ticket check-in kiosk to obtain boarding passes. In a random sample of eight passengers, use the binomial model to find the approximate hypergeometric probability that four will have used the e-ticket check-in kiosk to obtain boarding passes.

Answers

Answer:

0.2348 = 23.48% probability that four will have used the e-ticket check-in kiosk to obtain boarding passes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x sucesses is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

In which:

x is the number of sucesses.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

In this question:

Population of 280, which means that [tex]N = 280[/tex]

112 use e-ticket check-in kiosk, which means that [tex]k = 112[/tex]

Sample of eight passengers means that [tex]n = 8[/tex]

Find the approximate hypergeometric probability that four will have used the e-ticket check-in kiosk to obtain boarding passes.

This is P(X = 4). So

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = h(4,280,8,112) = \frac{C_{112,4}*C_{168,4}}{C_{280,4}} = 0.2348[/tex]

0.2348 = 23.48% probability that four will have used the e-ticket check-in kiosk to obtain boarding passes.
