Jimmy decides to mow lawns to earn money. The initial cost of his electric lawnmower is ​$350. Electricity and maintenance costs

are ​$4 per lawn. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (c).a. Formulate a function C(x) for the total cost of mowing x lawns. b. Jimmy determines that the total-profit function for the lawn mowing business is given by p(x) = 9x - 350. Find a function for the total revenue from mowing x lawns. How much does jimmy charge per lawn? c. How many lawns must jimmy mow before he begins making a profit?

Answer:

a) C(x) = 4x + 350

b) 13x; $13

c) 39

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Initial cost of lawnmower = $350

Maintenance cost for 1 lawn = $4

Maintenance cost for x lawns = 4x

Total cost function, C(x) = 4x + 350

b) Revenue = Cost + Profit

= C(x) + P(x)

= 4x + 350 + 9x - 350

= 13x

Charge per lawn = \frac{\text{Revenue}}{\text{Number of lawns}}

= \frac{13x}{13} = \$13

c) For Jimmy to make a profit, P(x) must be greater than zero i.e.

P(x) >0

9x-350 >0

9x >350

The smallest integer value of x that satisfies this inequality is 39. Therefore, Jimmy needs to mow 39 lawns in order to start making profit.

A small manufacturer constructs refrigerators. The fixed monthly cost is $200,000, and it costs $450 to produce one refrigerator
kaheart [24]

Answer: Horizontal asymptote of c(x) is 450.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost to produce one refrigerator = $450

Fixed monthly cost = $200,000

So, Average cost function to produce x refrigerators is given by

c(x)=\dfrac{200000+450x}{x}

Horizontal asymptote of c(x) would be

\dfrac{450x}{x}\\\\=450

Hence, Horizontal asymptote of c(x) is 450.

Carl scored 32 on the ACT mathematics Test and 730 on the mathematics portion of the SAT. If the ACT Math Test had a mean score
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Carl's ACT grade had a higher z-score, which means that he earned a better score with respect to his peers on the ACT test.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

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.

On which exam did Carl earn a better score with respect to his peers?

On whichever exam he had the higher z-score.

SAT

Scored 730, mean 516, standard deviation 116. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{730 - 516}{116}

Z = 1.84

ACT

Scored 32, mean 21, standard deviation 5.3. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{32 - 21}{5.3}

Z = 2.08

Carl's ACT grade had a higher z-score, which means that he earned a better score with respect to his peers on the ACT test.

Point T is at (–3, 7). What are the coordinates of point T' after Ry-axis ∘ Rx-axis?
dimaraw [331]

Given:

The point is T(-3,7).

To find:

The image T' after R_{y-axis}\circ R_{x-axis}.

Solution:

R_{y-axis}\circ R_{x-axis}, it means reflection across x-axis is followed by reflection across y-axis.

If a point is reflected across the x-axis, then

(x,y)\to (x,-y)

T(-3,7)\to T_1(-3,-7)

Then point is reflected across the y-axis. So,

(x,y)\to (-x,y)

T_1(-3,-7)\to T'(3,-7)

Therefore, the coordinates of point T' are (3,-7).
