Answer:
C. The given function is continuous at x=4 because the limit is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function:
[tex]f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{1}{4}x+1 &x\leq 4\\4x-11&x>4\end{array}\right[/tex]
We are to determine if the function is continuous at x=4.
For a function to be continuous at some value c in its domain:
f(c) must be defined.[tex]Lim_{x \to c}$ f(x)[/tex] must exist. [tex]f(c)=Lim_{x \to c}$ f(x)[/tex]Now: at x=4
[tex]f(4)=\dfrac{1}{4}*4+1=2[/tex][tex]Lim_{x \to 4}f(x)=2[/tex]Since the two values are the same, we say that f(x) is continuous at x=4.
The correct option is C.

what is 2043.666666 rounded to 2 decimal places
Answer:
[tex]2043.67[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hundredths is at 2 decimal places.
The thousandths place is higher than 5, so add 1 to the hundredths place.
Answer:
2043.67
Step-by-step explanation:
If you’ve ever rounded a number, you would know that if it’s 5 or higher, round it up, and if it’s 4 or lower, round it down. In this case, the second decimal place reads ’6’ which is higher that 5, so we round up. The rest of the numbers stay the same

A street performer earns 40% of all his daily earnings at the barclays center subway station.He earns about $60 at that station. Assuming he works everyday and earns the same amount, how much does he earn in two weeks?
Answer:
He earns $2,100 in two weeks.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that this street performers earn $60 per day at the Barclays center subway station, and that this earning represents 40% (or a proportion of 0.4) of his daily earnings. We can calculate his daily earnings as:
[tex]0.4D=\$\,60\\\\D=\dfrac{\$\,60}{0.4}=\$\,150[/tex]
If the daily earnings are $150, the earnings in 2 weeks (14 days) will be:
[tex]W=14\cdot\$\,150=\$\,2100[/tex]

The given line segment passes through the points (0, -3) and (-5, -4).
What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (-2, 2)?
Answer:
y= 1/5x + 12/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Points: (0, -3) and (-5, -4)Line: y= mx+bSlope: m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)= (-4+3)/(-5-0)= -1/-5= 1/5Y-intercept: -3= 0*1/5+b ⇒ b= -3So the line is: y= 1/5x - 3Parallel line to this has same slope and passes through the point (-2, 2)
Its y- intercept is: 2= 1/5(-2)+b ⇒ b= 2+2/5= 12/5The required equation in slope- intercept form is:
y= 1/5x + 12/5 the ratio of the ages of Kissi and Esinam is 3:5 and that of Esinam and Lariba is 3:5 and
the sum of the ages of all 3 is 147 years, what is the age difference between oldest the youngest
Answer:
The age difference between oldest the youngest is of 48 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this question using a system of equations.
I am going to say that:
Kissi's age is x.
Esinam's age is y.
Lariba's age is z.
The ratio of the ages of Kissi and Esinam is 3:5
This means that [tex]\frac{x}{y} = \frac{3}{5}[/tex], so [tex]5x = 3y[/tex]
That of Esinam and Lariba is 3:5
This means that [tex]\frac{y}{z} = \frac{3}{5}[/tex], so[tex]5y = 3z[/tex]
The sum of the ages of all 3 is 147 years
This means that [tex]x + y + z = 147[/tex]
What is the age difference between oldest the youngest
z is the oldest
x is the youngest.
First i will find y.
We have that, from the equations above: [tex]x = \frac{3y}{5}[/tex] and [tex]z = \frac{5y}{3}[/tex]
So
[tex]x + y + z = 147[/tex]
[tex]\frac{3y}{5} + y + \frac{5y}{3} = 147[/tex]
The lesser common multiple between 5 and 3 is 15. So
[tex]\frac{3*3y + 15*y + 5*5y}{15} = 147[/tex]
[tex]49y = 147*15[/tex]
[tex]y = \frac{147*15}{49}[/tex]
[tex]y = 45[/tex]
Youngest:
[tex]x = \frac{3y}{5} = \frac{3*45}{5} = 27[/tex]
Oldest:
[tex]z = \frac{5y}{3} = \frac{5*45}{3} = 75[/tex]
Difference:
75 - 27 = 48
The age difference between oldest the youngest is of 48 years.

Step-by-step explanation:
The line y = kx + 4, where k is a constant, is
graphed in the xy-plane. If the line contains the
point (c,d), where c ≠ 0 and d ≠ 0, what is the slope
of the line in terms of c and d ?
Answer:
(d - 4) / c
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line in terms of c and d is (d - 4) / c.
Here, we have,
To find the slope of the line in terms of the coordinates of the point (c, d), we can use the slope-intercept form of a line, y = mx + b, where m represents the slope.
In the given equation, y = kx + 4, we can see that the coefficient of x is k, which represents the slope of the line.
Since the line contains the point (c, d), we can substitute these values into the equation:
d = kc + 4
To isolate the slope term, we rearrange the equation:
d - 4 = kc
Now, divide both sides by c:
(d - 4) / c = k
Therefore, the slope of the line in terms of c and d is (d - 4) / c.

Assuming that a cheese sandwich consists of 2 slices of bread and 3 slices of cheese, determine the number of whole cheese sandwiches that can be prepared from 32 slices of bread and 51 slices of cheese. g
Answer:
Only 16 whole sandwiches can be produced
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we know that we will need two slices of bread to make a full sandwich.
We can divide the number of slices of bread by two to check how many full sandwiches can be made.
Number of complete sets of bread = 32/2 = 16 sets
Similarly, we can divide the number of slices of cheese by 3 to find out the number of complete sets of cheese that will be there:
Number of complete sets of cheese = 51/3 = 17 sets
Since we have more cheese than bread, the number of whole sandwiches that can be made will be limited to the number of sets of bread available. (in this case, the ingredient smaller in quantity will be used to limit the production) which is = 16
Therefore only 16 whole sandwiches can be produced

A marine biologist is preparing a deep-sea submersible for a dive. The sub stores breathing air under high pressure in a spherical air tank that measures wide. The biologist estimates she will need of air for the dive. Calculate the pressure to which this volume of air must be compressed in order to fit into the air tank. Write your answer in atmospheres. Round your answer to significant digits.
The complete question is;
A marine biologist is preparing a deep-sea submersible for a dive. The sub stores breathing air under high pressure in a spherical air tank that measures 78.0 cm wide. The biologist estimates she will need 2600 L of air for the dive. Calculate the pressure to which this volume of air must be compressed in order to fit in to the air tank. Write you answer in atmospheres
Answer:
10.5 atm
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for Volume of a sphere is;
V = (4/3)πr³
r = 78/2 = 39 cm
V = (4/3)π(39)³
V = (4/3)*π*59319
V = 248475 cm³
Now, from conversions, 1000 cm³ = 1L
So,
V = 248475/1000
V = 248.5 L
This is the volume of the storage tank
If we assume that the 2600 L of air is measured at 1 atmosphere pressure, then we will obtain the following relationship:
From Boyles law,
P1 × V1 = P2 × V2
Thus;
(1 atm) × (2600 L) = (P2) × (248.5 L)
P2 = 2600/248.5
P2 = 10.463 atmospheres
Approximating to 3 significant figures is; P2 = 10.5 atm
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 7.1% of the labor force in Wenatchee, Washington was unemployed in February 2019. A random sample of 100 employable adults in Wenatchee, Washington was selected. Using the normal approximation to the binomial distribution, what is the probability that 6 or more people from this sample are unemployed
Answer:
73.24% probability that 6 or more people from this sample are unemployed
Step-by-step explanation:
Binomial probability distribution
Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.
Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.
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]
Normal probability distribution
Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].
In this problem, we have that:
[tex]n = 100, p = 0.071[/tex]
So
[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 10*0.071 = 7.1[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{100*0.071*0.929} = 2.5682[/tex]
What is the probability that 6 or more people from this sample are unemployed
Using continuity correction, this is [tex]P(X \geq 6 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 5.5)[/tex], which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 5.5. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{5.5 - 7.1}{2.5682}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.62[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.62[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.2676
1 - 0.2676 = 0.7324
73.24% probability that 6 or more people from this sample are unemployed

Complete question:
Mai is making personal pizzas. For 4 pizzas, she uses 10 ounces of cheese.
a. How much cheese does Mai use per Pizza
b. At this rate how much cheese will she need to make 15 Pizza's
Answer:
a. ounces of cheese per pizza = 10/4 = 2.5 ounces of cheese
b. amount of cheese to make 15 pizzas= 2.5 × 15 = 37.5 ounces of cheese
Step-by-step explanation:
Mai is making a personal pizzas .For 4 pizza she uses 10 ounces of cheese. This means Mai uses 10 ounces of cheese in weight to make just 4 pizzas.
a. How much cheese does Mai use per Pizza
Not she uses 10 ounces of cheese to make 4 pizzas. Therefore,
If 4 pizzas requires 10 ounces of cheese
1 pizza will require ? ounces of cheese
cross multiply
ounces of cheese per pizza = 10/4 = 2.5 ounces of cheese
b. At this rate how much cheese will she need to make 15 Pizza's
Since she requires 2.5 ounces of cheese to make 1 pizza
? ounces of cheese will be required to make 15 pizzas
cross multiply
amount of cheese to make 15 pizzas = 2.5 × 15 = 37.5 ounces of cheese

Which of the options is the response variable?
A. The number of adults.
B. The type of training exercises performed by each participant.
C. The size of the physiological blind spot.
D. The number of times an adult performed training exercises.
Question:
The physiological blind spot refers to a very small zone of functional blindness in the eye where the optic nerve passes through the retina. We do not notice it because our nervous system compensates for it. Can eye training reduce the size of a person's physiological blind spot? Researchers recruited a representative sample of 10 adults with normal vision. Each participant performed training exereises with one eye for three weeks. The size of the physiological blind spot was measured (in degrees of visual angle squared) with a motion detection task both prior to training and again after the training was completed. Which of the options is the response variable?
A) The size of the physiological blind spot
B) The number of adults.
C) The type of training exercises performed by each participant.
D) The size of the physiological blind spot.
E) The number of times an adult performed training exercises.
Answer:
The correct answer is A)
Explanation:
The response variable (when experimenting) is the variable or factor about which the researcher is concerned. It can also be (as the name entails) the variable which respond to changes in the experiment.
The changes in the experiment is the training. The variable which the researcher is concerned about and which may or may not change with the introduction of training is the size of the physiological blind spot.

Find the point of diminishing returns (x comma y )for the function R(x), where R(x) represents revenue (in thousands of dollars) and x represents the amount spent on advertising (in thousands of dollars).
Complete Question
The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image
Answer:
The point of diminishing returns (x , y ) is (11, 21462)
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The function is [tex]R(x) = 10,000 -x^3 - 33x^2 + 800x , \ \ 0 \le x \le 20[/tex]
Here R(x) represents revenue (in thousands of dollars) and x represents the amount spent on advertising (in thousands of dollars).
Now differentiating R(x) we have
[tex]R'(x) = -3x^2 +66x + 800[/tex]
Finding the second derivative of R(x)
[tex]R''(x) = -6x +66[/tex]
at inflection point [tex]R''(x) = 0[/tex]
So [tex]-6x +66 = 0[/tex]
=> [tex]x= 11[/tex]
substituting value of x into R(x)
[tex]R(x) = 10,000 -(11)^3 - 33(11)^2 + 800(11) ,[/tex]
[tex]R(x) = 21462[/tex]
Now the point of diminishing returns (x , y ) i.e (x , R(x) ) is

Suppose you want to buy a new car and are trying to choose between two models: Model A: costs $16,500 and its gas mileage is 25 miles per gallon and its insurance is $250 per year. Model B: costs $24,500 and its gas mileage is 40 miles per gallon and its insurance is $450 per year. If you drive approximately 40,000 miles per year and the gas costs $3 per gallon:
1. Find a formula for the total cost of owning Model A where the number of years you own the car is represented by x.
2. Find a formula for the total cost of owning Model B where the number of years is the independent variable.
3. Find the total cost for each model for the first five years. If you plan to keep the car for 4 years, which model is more economical?
4. Find the number of years in which the total cost to keep the two cars will be the same.
5. Identify the number of months where neither car holds a cost of ownership advantage.
6. What effect would the cost of gas doubling have on cost of ownership?
7. If you can sell neither car for 40% of its value at any time, how does the analysis change?
Answer:
1. CA=16,500+5,050x
2. CB=24,500+3,450x
3. CA(x=5)=CB(x=5)=41,750
If keeped 4 years, Model A is more economical.
4. 5 years
5. From month 49 to 61.
6. The cost of ownership of Model A increases more than Model B, as it is less gas efficient. The break-even point for x is reduced from x=5 to x=2.35.
7. The fixed cost are reduced by a 40%, so the variable cost, the ones that depend on time of ownership, are increased in importance.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can express the cost of ownership as the sum of the purchase cost, gas cost and insurance cost.
1. For model A we have:
[tex]\text{Cost of ownership}=\text{Purchase cost}+\text{Gas cost}+\text{Insurance cost}\\\\\text{Cost of ownership}=\$16,500+3 \dfrac{\$}{gal}\cdot\dfrac{1\,gal}{25\,miles}\cdot \dfrac{40,000\,miles}{year}\cdot x+\$250\cdot x\\\\\\\text{Cost of ownership}=\$16,500+\$4,800x+\$250x\\\\\\\text{Cost of ownership}=$16,500+\$5,050x[/tex]
2. For model B we have:
[tex]\text{Cost of ownership}=\text{Purchase cost}+\text{Gas cost}+\text{Insurance cost}\\\\\text{Cost of ownership}=\$24,500+3 \dfrac{\$}{gal}\cdot\dfrac{1\,gal}{40\,miles}\cdot \dfrac{40,000\,miles}{year}\cdot x+\$450\cdot x\\\\\\\text{Cost of ownership}=\$24,500+\$3,000x+\$450x\\\\\\\text{Cost of ownership}=$24,500+\$3,450x[/tex]
3. If x=5, the costs for each car are:
[tex]\text{CoOwn A}=16,500+5,050\cdot(5)=16,500+25,250=41,750\\\\\\\text{CoOwn B}=24,500+3,450\cdot(5)=24,500+17,250=41,750[/tex]
5 years is the break-even point for the cost of ownership between these two cars.
If you plan to keep the car for 4 years, the costs are:
[tex]\text{CoOwn A}=16,500+5,050\cdot(4)=16,500+20,200=36,700\\\\\\\text{CoOwn B}=24,500+3,450\cdot(4)=24,500+13,800=38,300[/tex]
For a 4 year period ownership, the model A is more economical ($36,700).
4. This happens for 1 year, the fifth year, in which the two models have the same cost of ownership.
5. At the 5th year, the cost for both models are the same.
Then, this corresponds to the months 4*12+1=48+1=49 and 5*12+1=61.
6. If the cost of gas doubles, the cost of ownership would rise for both model, but more for the Model A, which is less gas efficient and hence has a higher gas cost.
Model A
[tex]\text{Cost of ownership}=\text{Purchase cost}+\text{Gas cost}+\text{Insurance cost}\\\\\text{Cost of ownership}=\$16,500+6 \dfrac{\$}{gal}\cdot\dfrac{1\,gal}{25\,miles}\cdot \dfrac{40,000\,miles}{year}\cdot x+\$250\cdot x\\\\\\\text{Cost of ownership}=\$16,500+\$9,600x+\$250x\\\\\\\text{Cost of ownership}=$16,500+\$9,850x[/tex]
Model B
[tex]\text{Cost of ownership}=\text{Purchase cost}+\text{Gas cost}+\text{Insurance cost}\\\\\text{Cost of ownership}=\$24,500+6 \dfrac{\$}{gal}\cdot\dfrac{1\,gal}{40\,miles}\cdot \dfrac{40,000\,miles}{year}\cdot x+\$450\cdot x\\\\\\\text{Cost of ownership}=\$24,500+\$6,000x+\$450x\\\\\\\text{Cost of ownership}=$24,500+\$6,450x[/tex]
The breakeven point goes from x=5 (for $3 per gallon) to x=2.35 (for $6 per gallon).
[tex]16,500+9,850x=24,500+6,450x\\\\(9,850-6,450)x=24,500-16,500\\\\x=8,000/3400=2.35[/tex]
7. If we can sell any car for 40% of its value at any time, the cost of ownership becames:
Model A:
[tex]\text{Cost of ownership}=16,500+5,050x-0.4\cdot16,500\\\\\text{Cost of ownership}=9,900+5,050x[/tex]
Model B
[tex]\text{Cost of ownership}=24,500+3,450x-0.4\cdot24,500\\\\\text{Cost of ownership}=14,700+3,450x[/tex]
The fixed costs are lowered by 40%, so the variable costs (the ones that depend on time) became more important.
Describe the difference between a probability derived from the analytic view (logical analysis), the Relative Frequency view (sampling from a distribution with known characteristics), and the Subjective (feeling) view. Describe situations in which each view of probability could be useful.
Answer:
See the explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Analytic View:If and event can occur in A number of way and fail in B number of ways, then probability of its occurrence is:
[tex]P(A)= \frac{A}{A+B}[/tex]
or probability of its failing is:
[tex]P(B)=\frac{B}{A+B}[/tex]
Example:Rolling a number smaller than 3 in a dice.
A= 2 (1,2)
B = 4 (3,4,5,6)
[tex]P(A)= \frac{2}{2+4}=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Relative Frequency View:Definition of Probability in terms of past performances (data). It can be taken as how often things happens divided by all outcomes.
Example:A batter has 50 safe hits at 200 bats, which makes his batting average [tex]\frac{50}{200}= 0.25[/tex] which is the probability.
Subjective View:When you define a probability due to personel beleif in the likelihood of an outcome. It involve no formal calculations and varies from person to person, depending on their past experience.
Example:A person beleives that probability that the batter will hit safely in the next bat is 0.75
Given the following information, find the probability that a randomly selected dog will be a golden retriever or a poodle. Number of dogs who are poodles: 31, golden retrievers: 58, beagles: 20, pugs: 38a) 39.5%b) 60.5%c) 58.0%d) 46.9%
Answer: a) 39.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
For random selections, we assume that all the dogs have the same probability of being selected.
In this case, the probability will be equal to the number of golden retrievers divided the total number of dogs.
We have 58 golden retrievers, and the total number of dogs is:
31 + 58 +20 + 38 = 147
Then the probability is:
P = 58/147 = 0.395
If we multiply it by 100%, we obtain the percentage form:
0.395*100% = 39.5%
So the correct option is a.
$17,500,000 is what percent of $70,000,000?
Answer: 1/4 of 70,000,000
Step-by-step explanation: 17,500,000 / 70,000,000 = 0.25
Answer:
[tex]25\%[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{17,500,000}{70,000,000}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{4}=0.25=25/100=25\%[/tex]
