You have a summer job detailing cars. You charge $5 to wash a car, $25 to wax a car, and $2 to vacuum a car. What algebraic expr

ession models the total amount you can earn? If you wash 8 cars, wax 2 cars, and vacuum 6 cars, how much will you earn in all?

Answer:

$T = 5x+25y+2z$ algebraic expression models the total amount you can earn .

You earn $102 in total If you wash 8 cars, wax 2 cars, and vacuum 6 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the no. of cars you washed

Cost of washing 1 car = $5

Cost of washing x cars = 5x

Let y be the no. of cars waxed

Cost of waxing 1 car = $25

Cost of waxing y cars = 25y

Let z be the no. of cars vacuumed

Cost of vacuuming 1 car = $2

Cost of vacuuming z cars = 2z

Let T be the total cost

So, $T = 5x+25y+2z$

So, $T = 5x+25y+2z$ algebraic expression models the total amount you can earn .

Now we are supposed to find that you wash 8 cars, wax 2 cars, and vacuum 6 cars, how much will you earn in all?

x = 8

y= 2

z=6

Substitute the value in the expressions

$T = 5(8)+25(2)+2(6)$

$T = 102$

Hence You earn $102 in total If you wash 8 cars, wax 2 cars, and vacuum 6 cars

0% probability that at least 1,500 will agree to respond

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

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.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

$n = 15000, p = 0.09$

So

$\mu = E(X) = np = 15000*0.09 = 1350$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{15000*0.09*0.91} = 35.05$

What is the probability that at least 1,500 will agree to respond

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1500-1 = 1499. So

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

$Z = \frac{1499 - 1350}{35.05}$

$Z = 4.25$

$Z = 4.25$ has a pvalue of 1.

1 - 1 = 0

0% probability that at least 1,500 will agree to respond

Choose the function whose graph is given by:

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

D. $y=\tan (x-\pi)+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the graph of the transformed tangent function.

As, we can see that the graph is shifted 2 units upwards.

That is, the parent function is translated 2 units up.

So, the new function will be of the form, $y=\tan (x)+2$ .

Thus, options A and C are not correct.

Moreover, 'If a function f(x) has period P, then the function cf(bx) will have period $\frac{P}{|b|}$ .

Also, form the figure, we see that the period of the graphed function is $\pi$ .

Since, $y=\tan (x)$ have period $\pi$ .

So, function in option B will have period $\frac{\pi}{2}$ , which is not possible.

<em>Further, function in option D have period $\pi$ .</em>

Thus, the equation of the graphed function is, $y=\tan (x-\pi)+2$ .
