Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using cosine triangle formula, we know that;

c² = a² + b² - 2ac(cos C)

From our diagram;

a = 2x

b = x + 1

c = 7

C = 60°

Thus;

7² = (2x)² + (x + 1)² - 2(2x)(x + 1)cos 60

49 = 4x² + (x² + 2x + 1) - (4x² + 4x)(0.5)

49 = 5x² + 2x + 1 - 2x² - 2x

3x² + 1 - 49 = 0

3x² - 48 = 0

3x² = 48

x² = 48/3

x² = 16

x = √16

x = 4

A company produces and sells 211,600 boxes of t-shirts each year. Each production run has a fixed cost of $400 and an additional
Illusion [34]

Answer:x=46

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Company Produces and sells 211600 boxes of T-shirt each year

Fixed cost =$ 400

Additional cost = $ 3 per box

storage cost =$ 2

let x be the no of production run

therefore

Holding cost per year =holding\ cost\times average\ holding\ items=2\times \frac{211600}{2x}=\frac{211600}{x}

Yearly\ ordering\ cost=cost\ during\ each\ order\times number\ of\ order\ Placed\ per\ year

yearly ordering cost=400x+3\times \frac{211600}{x}

Total cost C(x)=\frac{211600}{x}+400x+3\times \frac{211600}{x}

differentiate C(x) w.r.t to x we get

\frac{\mathrm{d} C(x)}{\mathrm{d} x}=400-\frac{3\times 211600}{x^2}-\frac{1}{211600}

Put \frac{\mathrm{d} C(x)}{\mathrm{d} x}=0 to get max/min value

400-\frac{211600}{x^2}-\frac{3\times 211600}{x^2}=0

x^2=\frac{211600}{100}

x=\sqrt{2116}

x=46

therefore 46 runs must be performed

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Matching each vocabulary word with its corresponding example:

(1). All Americans = f. Population (a group of items, units or subjects under reference of study e.g. inhabitants of a region, numbers of cars in a city, workers in a factory and so on)  

(2). The proportion of all Americans who strongly agree that prisoners with life sentences who have Alzheimer's should be released = c. Parameter ( the number that summarizes some characteristic of a population)  

(3). The proportion of the 85 Americans surveyed who strongly agree that prisoners with life sentences who have Alzheimer's should be released = d. Statistic (the sample characteristic corresponding to a population parameter used when a sample is used to make statistical inference about a population)

(4). The answer-Strongly Agree' or 'Agree, or Disagree, or Strongly Disagree = b. Variable (any quality, characteristic, quantity or number that can be counted or measured)

(5). The 85 Americans who participated in the survey = e. Sample (a part or fraction of a population selected on some basis)

(6). The list of answers that the 85 Americans gave = a. Data (the pieces of information collected to be used for the analysis)

Sam is designing a fence post for his yard. He will need to construct a perpendicular line through the point above the line to m
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

D is correct.  The idea here is to ensure that the point on the post is equidistant from the bottom of the post (where it meets the ground), which in turn ensures that the angle between ground and post is 90° in at least two places on the ground.
