Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

3 red sections, 2blue sections, and 1 purple section = 6 sections

P( red) = red/total = 3/6 =1/2

P( blue) = blue/total = 2/6 =1/3

P( purple) = purple/total = 1/6

The unit cost, in dollars, to produce bins of cat food is $3 and the fixed cost is $6972. The price-demand function, in dollars

stellarik [79]

Answer:

Revenue , Cost and Profit Function

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given the Price/Demand Function as

P(x) = 253-2x

which means when the demand of Cat food is x units , the price will be fixed as 253-2x per unit.

Now let us revenue generated from this demand i.e. x units

Revenue = Demand * Price per unit

R(x) = x * (253-2x)

= $253x-2x^2$

Now let us Evaluate the Cost Function

Cost = Variable cost + Fixed Cost

Variable cost = cost per unit * number of units

= 3*x

= 3x

Fixed Cost = 6972 as given in the problem.

Hence

Cost Function C(x) = 3x+6972

Let us now find the Profit Function

Profit = Revenue - Cost

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

= $253x-2x^2 - (3x + 6972)$

= $253x-3x-2x^2-6972\\= 250x-2x^2-6972\\=-2x^2+250x-6972\\$

Now we have to find the quantity at which we attain break even point.

We know that at break even point

Profit = 0

Hence P(x) = 0

$-2x^2+250x-6972=0\\$

now we have to solve the above equation for x

Dividing both sides by -2 we get

$x^2-125x+3486=0$

Now we have to find the factors of 3486 whose sum is 125. Which comes out to be 42 and 83

Hence we now solve the above quadratic equation using splitting the middle term method .

Hence

$x^2-42x-83x+3486=0\\x(x-42)-83(x-42)=0\\(x-42)(x-83)=0\\$

Either (x-42) = 0 or (x-83) = 0 therefore

if x-42= 0 ; x=42

if x-83=0 ; x=83

Smallest of which is 42. Hence the number of units at which it attains the break even point is 42.

A motorcycle has an initial speed of u m/s. It accelerates to a speed of 1.2u in 10 seconds. The motorcycle then travels at a co

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A motorcycle has an initial speed of u m/s. It accelerates to a speed of 1.2u in 10 seconds

V = U + at

1.2u = u + a*10

=> a = 0.02u

S= ut + (1/2)at²

Distance in 1st 10 secs

S = u(10) + (1/2)(0.02)(10)²

=> S = 10u + u

=> S = 11u m

Constant speed 1.2u for 15 secs

S = 1.2u * 15

=> S = 18u m

Total Distance Covered d = 11u + 18u = 29u m

t Technodynamics, Inc., a randomly-selected hiring committee of 3 people is formed from a group of 4 employees in marketing an

atroni [7]

Answer: a) 0.25, b) 0.78, c) 0.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of employees in marketing = 4

Number of employees in management = 7

We need to hire committee of 3 people.

a) Find the probability that the committee has exactly 2 employees from marketing.

So, Probability becomes

$\dfrac{^4C_2\times ^7C_1}{^{11}C_3}\\\\=\dfrac{42}{165}\\\\=0.25$

b) Find the probability that the committee has at least one employee from marketing.

$P(x\geq 1)=1-P(x=0)\\\\P(x\geq 1)=1-\dfrac{^7C_3}{^{11}C_3}=1-0.212=0.78$

c) Find the probability that the committee has at most one employee from management.

$P(x\leq 1)=P(x=0)+P(x=1)\\\\P(x\leq 1)=\dfrac{^7C_3}{^{11}C_3}+\dfrac{^7C_2\times ^4C_1}{^{11}C_3}\\\\P(x\leq 1)=0.21+0.50=0.71$

Hence, a) 0.25, b) 0.78, c) 0.71

Minato drove 390 miles. Part of the drive was along local roads, where his average speed was 20 mph, and the rest was along a hi

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

45 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the:

Total distance covered = 390 miles

Total time = 8 hours

Let the distance covered along the local way = L

And the distance covered along the highway = H

Along with local way,

Speed = distance/ time

20 = L / T

T = L /20 .... (1)

Along the highway,

Distance covered H = 390 - L

Let the time = t

Speed = distance/time

60 = (390 - L)/t

t = ( 390 - L)/60

But total time = T + t

That is

8 = L/20 + (390 - L)/60

The LCM at right hand side will be 60

8 = ( 3L + 390 - L )/60

Cross multiply

480 = 2L + 390

Collect the like terms

2L = 480 - 390

2L = 90

L = 90/2

L = 45 miles.

Therefore, the distance Minato drive along local roads is 45 miles
