The percentage of automobile consumers who are under 50 years of age decreased approximately linearly from 58.8% in 1980 to 50.5% in 1995.
(A) Predict when the percentage will be 47%
(B) Predict the percentage in 2005.

Answers

Answer 1

Using a linear function, we have that:

The percentage will be 47% during the year of 2001.The predicted percentage in 2005 is of 44.97%.

Given that, the percentage of automobile consumers who are under 50 years of age decreased approximately linearly from 58.8% in 1980 to 50.5% in 1995.

What is a linear function?

Linear functions are those whose graph is a straight line. The standard form of the linear function is f(x)=y= mx + b. A linear function has one independent variable and one dependent variable.

Where, m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.

b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0 and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

The percentage in 1980 is considered as the initial amount, so b = 58.8. In 15 years, the percentage decreased from 58.8% to 50.5%, hence the slope is given by: m = (50.5 - 58.8)/15 = 0.5533.

Thus, the percentage in t years after 1980 is P(t) = 58.8 - 0.5533t.

Now, t + 1980, for which P(t) = 47.

So, P(t) = 58.8 - 0.5533t

47 = 58.8 - 0.5533t.

0.5533t = 11.8.

t = 11.8/0.5533

t = 21.3.

1980 + 21 = 2001, so the percentage will be 47% during the year 2001.

Now, 2005 is 25 years after 1980, so the percentage is P(25), given as follows: P(25) = 58.8 - 0.5533x25 = 44.97%.

Answers

The probability that 5 would not be working is 0.18665, the probability that at least one machine would be working is 0.00602 and the probability that all would be working is 1.

Given a company has 200 machines. Each machine has a 12% probability of not working.

If we working pick 40 machines randomly then we have to find the probability that 5 would not be working, the probability that at least one machine would be working, and the probability that all would be working.

So

1) probability that 5 would not be working

C(40,5)·0.12⁵·0.88³⁵= 40!/(5!(40-5)!)·0.12⁵·0.88³⁵

the funtions f(x) and g(x) are shown on the graph f(x)=x^2
what is g(x)?

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

A reflection of a graph on the x axis simply adds the opposite sign to the x^2, in this case, since f(x) = x^2 is positive, a reflection would mean that g(x) would be -x^2. As g(x) is also vertically translated down 2 units, the equation would then become g(x) = -x^2 - 2 and the correct answer would be C.

f(x)=x2 what is g(x)

Answers

Answer:

-x^2-2

Step-by-step explanation:

So by looking at the two curves it appears that g(x) is simply a reflection of f(x) over the x-axis and then shifted 2 units down. So to reflect the parabola you simply make the x^2 negative to get -x^2 and then to go 2 units down you subtract 2 from the -x^2. This gives you the equation

[tex]g(x)=-x^2-2[/tex]

There are 25773 foxes in the region in the year 2008

How to determine the function?

The given parameters are:

Initial value, a = 15000Rate, r = 7% or 0.07

Let the number of years after 2000 be x.

So, the function is

f(x) = a * (1 + r)^x

This gives

f(x) = 15000 * (1 + 0.07)^x

In 2008, we have:

x = 8

So, the equation becomes

f(8) = 15000 * (1 + 0.07)^8

Evaluate

f(8) = 25773

Hence, there are 25773 foxes in the region in the year 2008

(12 + 2x)(24 + 2x) = 1408

12*24 + 12*2x + 24*2x + (2x)² = 1408

288 + 72x + 4x² = 1408

4x² + 72x + 288 - 1408 = 0

4x² + 72x - 1120 = 0

x² + 18x - 280 = 0

x² - 10x + 28x - 280 = 0

x(x - 10) + 28(x - 10) = 0

(x - 10)(x + 28) = 0

Answers

The total amount due on the electricity bill is $55.64.

Here given that the last month's electricity consumption is 354 kWh

According to my contract with the electricity company, I agree to pay 11.3 cents per kWh.

So for 354 kWh of last month, I have to pay [tex]=11.3\times354=4000.2[/tex] cents

Now we know that 1 dollar = 100 cents

100 cents = $1

1 cent = [tex]\$\frac{1}{100}[/tex]

4000.2 cents [tex]=\$\frac{4000.2}{100}=\$40.002[/tex]

also, I have to pay a fixed charge of $15.63

So the total bill for last month will be [tex]=\$40.002+\$15.63=\$55.632\approx\$55.64[/tex]

Hence the total due amount on the electricity bill is $55.64 approximating the amount to the next two decimal place number.

The price of admission at a movie theater is $6 for an adult and $4 for a child. In one day, the movie theater sold 80 tickets and made $420. How many adults and how many children bought tickets to the movie theater that day?

6x + 4y = 420
Which is a solution of the system of equations, and what does it represent?
(20, 60); 20 adult tickets and 60 child tickets
(30, 50); 30 adult tickets and 50 child tickets

(50, 30); 50 adult tickets and 30

Answers

Last option: (50, 30); 50 adult tickets and 30 child tickets

What is Linear Equation?

A linear equation is an equation in which the highest power of the variable is always 1.

We have the system of equations:

x + y = 80

6x + 4y = 420

We will use elimination method to solve it:  

Multiply the first equation by -6 and then add the equations:

- 6x - 6y = -480

6x + 4y = 420  

We get:

-2y = -60

After dividing both sides by -2 we get:

y = 30

then plugging 30 in place of y into the original first equation we get:

x+30=80

Then subtracting 30 from both sides we get:

x = 50

The solution to the system is (50, 30)

Then notice the second equation 6x+4y=420 clear indicates that x represents the tickets for adults since the price for adults $6 is the coefficient of the x-term, while the price for children which is $4 is attached as coefficient in front of the y.

Thus, x=50 means there were sold 50 adult tickets. And y=30 that there were sold 30 child tickets.

And we want to find g(f(x)).

To do this, we substitute f(x) as x in x+2 (the expression that is equal to g(x)), as g(f(x)) is saying that f(x) is the value of x in g(x).

So, this will be:

g(f(x)) = x² - 1 + 2

g(f(x)) = x² + 1

The ordered pairs will be calculated as:-

y = x² − 4

At  x = -2

y = ( -2)² - 4 = 4 - 4 = 0

At x = -1

y = (-1)² - 4 = -3

At x = 0

Y = 0² - 4 = -4
