a. The revenue function R(x) = 75x - 3x² graph plotted below.

b. Value of x is 12.5 and maximum revenue produces $468.75

c. Wholesale price/chip that produces the maximum revenue is $37.50

A company's or business's revenue is the total amount of money it receives from sales of its products or services over a given time period.

a) To sketch a graph of the revenue function R(x), we first need to calculate R(x) using the given formula:

⇒ R(x) = x P(x)

⇒ R(x) = x(75 - 3x)

⇒ R(x) = 75x - 3x²

Now we can plot this function on a rectangular coordinate system. Below is an sketch of the graph.

b) Taking the derivative of R(x) and setting it equal to 0:

⇒ R'(x) = 75 - 6x = 0

⇒ 6x = 75

⇒  x = 12.5

So, x = 12.5 is the value of x that will produce the maximum revenue. To find the maximum revenue, we can substitute x = 12.5 into the revenue function R(x) = x (75 - 3x)

⇒ R(12.5) = 12.5 (75 - 3 (12.5)) = 468.75

⇒ R(12.5) = $ 468.75

Therefore, the maximum revenue is $468.75

c) To find the wholesale price per chip that produces the maximum revenue, we can substitute x = 12.5 into the price function, P(x) = 75 - 3x​

⇒ P(12.5) = 75 - 3(12.5)

⇒ P(12.5) =  $37.50 per chip

Therefore, the wholesale price per chip that produces the maximum revenue is $37.50.

Answer:

11/15 : 7/18 = 15 / 11 : 18 / 7=  270 / 77

Step-by-step explanation:

The top and lower sums for n =2,4, and 8 and f(x) = 2 +sin(x),0  x   are as follows:

n = 2: Upper Sum = 7.85398; Lower sum ≈ 7.85398

n = 4: Upper sum ≈ 6.43917; Lower sum ≈ 6.43917

n = 8: Upper sum ≈ 6.35258; Lower sum ≈ 6.352

It is necessary to first divide the range [0, ] into n subintervals of identical width x, where x = ( - 0)/n = /n, in order to calculate the upper and lower sums for the equations f(x) = 2 + sin(x), 0 x for n = 2, 4, and 8. The endpoints of these subintervals are:

x0 = 0, x1 = Δx, x2 = 2Δx, ..., xn-1 = (n-1)Δx, xn = π.

Then, for each subinterval [xi-1, xi], we can approximate the area under the curve by the area of a rectangle whose height is either the maximum or minimum value of f(x) on that interval. The sum of these areas' overall subintervals gives us the upper and lower sums.

For n = 2:

[0, π/2]: f(π/2) = 2 + sin(π/2) = 3

[π/2, π]: f(π) = 2 + sin(π) = 2

[0, π/2]: f(0) = 2 + sin(0) = 2

[π/2, π]: f(π/2) = 2 + sin(π/2) = 3

[3π/4, π]: f(3π/4) = 2 + sin(3π/4) ≈ 2.29289

For n = 8:

[0, π/8]: f(π/8) = 2 + sin(π/8) ≈ 2.25882

[π/8, π/4]: f(π/4) = 2 + sin(π/4) ≈ 2.70711

[π/4, 3π/8]: f(3π/8) = 2 + sin(3π/8) ≈ 2.96593

[3π/8, π/2]: f(π/2) = 2 + sin(π/2) = 3

The new average handling time for Agent D would be 90% of their original handling time.

A percentage is a way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100. It is typically represented using the percent sign (%) and is often used to describe the amount or proportion of something in relation to a whole. Percentages are commonly used in a variety of fields, such as finance, mathematics, and statistics.

Let's say the original average handling time for Agent D was "x" units (e.g. seconds, minutes, etc.). If Agent D was able to reduce their average handling time by 10%, their new average handling time would be:

New average handling time = x - 0.1x

Purple: 13÷8= 1.625

Teal: 15÷6= 2.5

The ratios don't have the same scale factor. Therefore they are not equivalent fractions.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since A and B are independent events, we can use the formula:

P(A ∩ B) = P(A) x P(B)

P(A ∩ B) = 0.10 x 0.60

P(A ∩ B) = 0.06

So the probability of both events A and B occurring is 0.06.

To find P(A U B), we can use the formula:

P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)

P(A U B) = 0.10 + 0.60 - 0.06

P(A U B) = 0.64

Therefore, the probability of either A or B occurring (or both) is 0.64.

Five-number summary: Minimum = 30, Q1 = 35, Median = 50, Q3 = 65, Maximum = 70. Bοx and whisker plοt: Bοx spans frοm 35 tο 65 with median at 50, whiskers extend frοm 30 tο 70, nο οutliers.

Tο find the five-number summary and cοnstruct a bοx and whisker plοt, we need tο first οrganize the given data in ascending οrder:

30, 40, 50, 60, 70

The five-number summary cοnsists οf the minimum value, the first quartile (Q1), the median (Q2), the third quartile (Q3), and the maximum value.

Minimum value: 30

Q1 (first quartile): the median οf the lοwer half οf the data set, which is (30 + 40)/2 = 35

Median (Q2): the middle value οf the data set, which is 50

Q3 (third quartile): the median οf the upper half οf the data set, which is (60 + 70)/2 = 65

Maximum value: 70

Sο, the five-number summary is:

Minimum = 30

Q1 = 35

Median = 50

Q3 = 65

Maximum = 70

To construct a box and whisker plot, we draw a number line that includes the range of the data (from the minimum value to the maximum value), and mark the five-number summary on the number line. Then we draw a box that spans from Q1 to Q3, with a vertical line inside the box at the median (Q2). In addition, we draw "whiskers" from the box to the minimum and maximum values.

The box and whisker plot for the given data is as follows:

[tex]v = \frac{ \sqrt{6} }{3} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Use trigonometry:

[tex] \tan(60°) = \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{v} [/tex]

Use the property of proportion to find v:

[tex]v = \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{ \tan(60°) } = \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{ \sqrt{3} } = \frac{ \sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3} } = \frac{ \sqrt{6} }{3} [/tex]

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find u:

The rule for f in the desired form is: f(x) = (3x^2 + 12x + 13r(x) + 52) / (x + 4)

To rewrite the rule for f in the form f(x) = q(x) + d(r), we need to first write g(x) in terms of r(x).

We know that g(x) = r(x) / (x + 4) + 1, so we can rewrite it as:

g(x) = r(x) / (x + 4) + (x + 4) / (x + 4)

g(x) = (r(x) + x + 4) / (x + 4)

Now, we can see that f(x) is a transformation of g(x) with q(x) = 3x and d(r) = 13. So, we can write:

f(x) = q(x) + d(r)

f(x) = 3x + 13(r(x) + x + 4) / (x + 4)

f(x) = (3x(x + 4) + 13r(x) + 52) / (x + 4)

Therefore, the rule for f in the desired form is: f(x) = (3x^2 + 12x + 13r(x) + 52) / (x + 4)

The Triangle Proportionality Theorem, also known as the Side Splitter Theorem, states that if a line is parallel to one side of a triangle, then it divides the other two sides proportionally.

Triangle Proportionality Theorem:

To prove this theorem, we begin by drawing a ΔABC with a line DE parallel to side AB. We then draw lines BD and CE, which intersect the parallel line DE at points F and G, respectively. By the properties of parallel lines, we know that ∠ADE and ∠ABD are congruent, and ∠AED and ∠ADB are congruent. Similarly, ∠CDE and ∠BDC are congruent, and ∠CED and ∠DCB are congruent.

We can then use the properties of similar triangles to show that ΔADE and ΔABC are similar, as are  ΔCDE and ΔACB. This means that the ratios of corresponding side lengths are equal:

BA/DE = CA/CE and CB/DE = AB/BD

We can then substitute CA - BA for CB in the first equation, and BD for AB in the second equation:

BA/DE = (CA - BA)/CE and CB/DE = BD/(CA - BA)

Cross-multiplying both equations, we obtain:

BA * CE = DE * (CA - BA) and CB * DE = BD * (CA - BA)

Adding the two equations, we get:

BA * CE + CB * DE = (DE + CE) * CA

Dividing both sides by CB * DE, we obtain:

BA/CB = (DE + CE)/CE * CA/DE = DE/CD

Thus, we have proven the Triangle Proportionality Theorem.

A function called f(x) accepts an input of "x" and outputs "y". You can write it out as y = f. (x).‘x’ is a variable that represents an input to a function.

To translate a function, we need to replace x with (x-a) in the function f(x) where ‘a’ is the amount of translation.

To translate a function 5 units right, we need to replace x with (x-5) in the function f(x).

So, g(x) = f(x-5) = -7(x-5-5)²+ 3 = -7(x-10)²+ 3.

The graph of the function tan(x/2) represents the tangent of half of the angle x in radians.

The tangent function has vertical asymptotes at odd multiples of π/2, which means that the function is undefined at those points. Therefore, the graph has vertical asymptotes at x = π/2, 3π/2, 5π/2, ....

The function also has zeros at even multiples of π, which occur when tan(x/2) = 0. This happens when x/2 = kπ where k is an integer, so x = 2kπ.

Between each pair of vertical asymptotes, the function oscillates between positive and negative infinity. The function is positive in the intervals (2kπ, (2k+1)π) and negative in the intervals ((2k-1)π, 2kπ) for all integers k.

What is Histogram ?

A histogram is a graphical representation of the distribution of a dataset. It is a way to display the frequency of occurrence of different values or ranges of values in a dataset.

The correct answer is IQR, because it is more robust to outliers and is not affected by extreme values like Range.

Although the question provides information about the shape of the histograms, it does not indicate whether the distributions are symmetric or skewed. Therefore, the choice of IQR over Range is not based on the shape of the data but on the fact that IQR is a more appropriate measure of variability when dealing with skewed data or data with outliers.

In general, the IQR is a better measure of variability than the range when the data is skewed or contains outliers, as it only considers the middle 50% of the data and is not affected by extreme values.

Therefore, The range, on the other hand, is affected by extreme values and may not be a good representation of the spread of the data in these cases.

The Griffins ended up paying a total of $575,647.60 for the house. The Griffins paid a total of $331,647.60 in interest over the 30-year period

Interest rate refers to the percentage of the principal amount charged by a lender to a borrower for the use of money over a certain period of time.

(a) The total amount they ended up paying for the house can be calculated by adding the down payment to the total amount paid in monthly mortgage payments over the 30-year period:

Total amount paid = down payment + (monthly payment x number of payments)

Number of payments = 30 years x 12 months/year

                                    = 360

Total amount paid = $48,000 + ($1462.91 x 360)

                               = $48,000 + $527,647.60

                               = $575,647.60

Therefore, the Griffins ended up paying a total of $575,647.60 for the house.

(b) The total amount of interest paid on the mortgage can be calculated by subtracting the amount borrowed (i.e., the purchase price minus the down payment) from the total amount paid over the 30-year period:

Total interest paid = total amount paid - amount borrowed

Amount borrowed = $292,000 - $48,000 = $244,000

Total interest paid = $575,647.60 - $244,000 = $331,647.60

The linear inequality for the shaded region with slope -4 is:

[tex]y < -4x + 4[/tex]

In mathematics, a linear inequality is an inequality involving a linear function in one or more variables. It describes a region in the coordinate plane that satisfies the inequality.

In mathematics, the slope is a measure of the steepness of a line. It describes how much a line rises or falls as we move from left to right along it.

According to the given information,

To write the linear inequality for the graph passing through points (0,4) and (1,0), we need to find the equation of the line first.

The slope of the line passing through these two points is:

[tex]m = (y_{2} - y_{1} ) / (x_{2} - x_{1})[/tex]

= (0 - 4) / (1 - 0)

= -4

Using the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, we can find the equation of the line passing through these two points:

[tex]y = -4x + 4[/tex]

Now, to write the linear inequality for this line, we need to determine which side of the line is shaded. We can use the test point (0,0) to check which side of the line contains the solutions to the inequality.

If we plug in (0,0) into the equation [tex]y = -4x + 4[/tex], we get:

0 = -4(0) + 4

0 = 4

Since 0 is not less than 4, the point (0,0) is not a solution to the inequality. Therefore, we need to shade the side of the line that does not contain the origin (0,0).

The linear inequality for the shaded region is:

[tex]y < -4x + 4[/tex]

So any point below the line [tex]y = -4x + 4[/tex]satisfies this inequality.

Answer: Jake solved it incorrectly.

Step-by-step explanation: His equation was supposed to be (7/2*35/2) *18

So the area of the living room on the scale drawing is 334128.48 square centimeters.

Area is a measure of the size of a two-dimensional surface or region, typically expressed in square units. It is the amount of space inside a flat, enclosed shape or surface, and is calculated by multiplying the length and width of the shape or surface. For example, the area of a rectangle can be calculated by multiplying its length by its width, while the area of a circle can be calculated by multiplying pi (3.14) by the square of its radius. Area is a fundamental concept in mathematics and is used in a wide range of fields, from geometry and physics to engineering and architecture.

Here,

First, we need to determine the actual dimensions of the living room. Since each 4 cm on the scale drawing is equal to 8 feet, we can set up a proportion:

4 cm : 8 feet = 12 cm : x

Solving for x, we get:

x = (12 cm x 8 feet) / 4 cm

= 24 feet

So the actual length and width of the living room are 24 feet and 24 feet, respectively.

The area of the living room is then:

Area = length x width

= 24 feet x 24 feet

= 576 square feet

Now, we need to determine the area of the living room on the scale drawing. Since the length and width of the scale drawing are both 12 cm, the area is:

Area = length x width

= 12 cm x 12 cm

= 144 square cm

Finally, we can determine the scale factor for the area by dividing the actual area by the scale area:

Scale factor = actual area / scale area

= 576 square feet / 144 square cm

Since we need the area in square centimeters, we can convert square feet to square centimeters by multiplying by 929.03:

Scale factor = (576 square feet / 144 square cm) x (929.03 square cm/square feet)

= 2324.12

Therefore, the area of the living room on the scale drawing is:

Area = scale area x scale factor

= 144 square cm x 2324.12

= 334128.48 square cm

Answer:

The selling price of the automobile after the $500 rebate is:

$18,340 - $500 = $17,840

The markdown is the difference between the original selling price and the selling price after the rebate, expressed as a percentage of the original selling price. The markdown can be calculated as follows:

Markdown = [(Original Price - Discounted Price) / Original Price] × 100%

Markdown = [(18,340 - 17,840) / 18,340] × 100%

Markdown = (500 / 18,340) × 100%

Markdown ≈ 2.72%

Rounding to the nearest tenth of a percent, the percent markdown is approximately 2.7%.
