Since the stock went up by 30% and fell by 30%, the net increase is 0%. So x = 0.

The function p(x) = -2(x-9)2 + 100 used to determine the profit on T-shirts sold for x dollars. What would the profit from sales

Elden [556K]

Answer:

$28.

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) = -2(x - 9)^2 + 100

If the prices (x) = 15 dollars we work out the profit by substituting x = 15 in the above formula:

p(15) = -2(15 - 9)^2 + 100

= -2 * 6^2 + 100

= $28.

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

5 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the question: Jinghua hiked 4 1/2 miles through the woods in 2 1/4 hours. She hiked the return trip at the same average rate but by a different route taking 2 1/2 hours. How many miles did Jinghua hike on the return trip ?

First of all, we will find Jinghua's speed using given information as:

$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

Convert mixed fractions into improper fractions:

$4\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow \frac{9}{2}$

$2\frac{1}{4}\Rightarrow \frac{9}{4}$

$\text{Jinghua's speed}=\frac{\frac{9}{2}\text{ Miles}}{\frac{9}{4}\text{ Hours}}$

Using property $\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}}=\frac{ad}{bc}$ :

$\text{Jinghua's speed}=\frac{9*4\text{ Miles}}{9*2\text{ Hours}}$

$\text{Jinghua's speed}=\frac{2\text{ Miles}}{\text{ Hour}}$

We know that distance is equal to the product of speed and time.

$\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}\times\text{Time}$

Since we have been given that Jingua hiked the return trip at the same average rate, so distance covered by her on return trip would be speed (2 miles her hour) times given time (2 1/2 hours).

$\text{Distance covered by Jingua on return trip}=\frac{2\text{ Miles}}{\text{ Hour}}\times 2\frac{1}{2}\text{ Hours}$

$\text{Distance covered by Jingua on return trip}=2\text{ Miles}\times \frac{5}{2}$

$\text{Distance covered by Jingua on return trip}=5\text{ Miles}$

Therefore, Jingua hiked 5 miles on her return trip.

Which statements are true about circle Q? Select three options. The ratio of the measure of central angle PQR to the measure of

kkurt [141]

Answer:

<h3>- The ratio of the measure of central angle PQR to the measure of the entire circle is One-eighth. </h3><h3>- The area of the shaded sector depends on the length of the radius. </h3><h3>- The area of the shaded sector depends on the area of the circle</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given central angle PQR = 45°

Total angle in a circle = 360°

Ratio of the measure of central angle PQR to the measure of the entire circle is $\frac{45}{360} = \frac{1}{8}$ . This shows ratio that <u>the measure of central angle PQR to the measure of the entire circle is one-eighth</u>.

Area of a sector = $\frac{\theta}{360}*\pi r^{2}$

$\theta$ = central angle (in degree) = 45°

r = radius of the circle = 6

Area of the sector

$= \frac{45}{360}*\pi (6)^{2}\\ = \frac{1}{8}*36 \pi\\ = 4.5\pi units^{2}$

<u>The ratio of the shaded sector is 4.5πunits² not 4units²</u>

From the formula, it can be seen that the ratio of the central angle to that of the circle is multiplied by area of the circle, this shows <u>that area of the shaded sector depends on the length of the radius and the area of the circle.</u>

Since Area of the circle = πr²

Area of the circle = 36πunits²

The ratio of the area of the shaded sector to the area of the circle = $\frac{4.5\pi }{36 \pi } = \frac{1}{8}$

For length of an arc

$= \frac{45}{360}*2\pi r\\= \frac{45}{360}*2\pi (6)\\= \frac{45}{360}*12 \pi \\= \frac{12\pi }{8} \\= \frac{3\pi }{2} units$

ratio of the length of the arc to the area of the circle = $\frac{\frac{3\pi}{2} }{36\pi} = \frac{3}{72} =\frac{1}{24}$

It is therefore seen that the ratio of the area of the shaded sector to the area of the circle IS NOT equal to the ratio of the length of the arc to the area of the circle

In the figure, angle ZYX is measured in degrees. The area of the shaded sector can be determined using the formula StartFraction

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

<u>The given options are:</u>

(A)the central angle measure of the sector divided by the total angle measure of a circle multiplied by the area of the circle will yield the area of the sector.

(B)the central angle measure of the sector divided by the total angle measure of a circle multiplied by the circumference of the circle will yield the area of the sector.

(C)the central angle measure of the sector multiplied by the area of the circle will yield the area of the sector.

(D)the central angle measure of the sector multiplied by the circumference of the circle will yield the area of the sector.

Answer:

(A)the central angle measure of the sector divided by the total angle measure of a circle multiplied by the area of the circle will yield the area of the sector.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the shaded sector can be determined using the formula:

$\frac{m\angle ZYX}{360^\circ} \cdot \pi r^2$

$m\angle XYZ=$Central angle of XYZ\\\pi r^2$=Area of a Circle$

$360^\circ =$Total Angle$

Therefore, the formula is:

$\dfrac{m\angle ZYX}{360^\circ} \cdot \pi r^2\\\text{Area of XYZ}=\dfrac{\text{Cental Angle of XYZ}}{\text{Total Angle}} X \text{Area of the Circle}$

Therefore, the formula is best explained by Option A.
