Answer:

The geometric object that matches the definition is the parabola.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola is the set of all points in a plane equidistant from a fixed point (the focus) and a fixed-line (the directrix) that lie in the plane.

A circle is the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a given point called the center of the circle.

An angle bisector is a line or ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles.

A hyperbola is the set of all points in a plane such that the absolute value of the difference of the distances between two fixed points stays constant.

Therefore the geometric object that matches the definition is the parabola.

A carpool service has 2,000 daily riders. A one-way ticket costs $5.00. The service estimates that for each $1.00 increase to th

solmaris [256]

Answer:

Total number of riders that ride on carpool daily = 2000

Total Cost of one way ticket = $ 5.00

Total Amount earned if 2000 passengers rides daily on carpool = 2000 × 5

= $10,000

If fare increases by $ 1.00

New fare = $5 + $1

= $6

Number of passengers riding on carpool = 2,000 - 100 = 1,900

If 1,900 passengers rides on carpool daily , total amount earned ,if cost of each ticket is $ 6 = 1900 × $6 = $11400

As we have to find the inequality which represents the values of x that would allow the carpool service to have revenue of at least $12,000.

For $ 1 increase in fare = (2,000 - 1 × 100) passengers

For $ x increase in fare, number of passengers = 2,000 - 100·x

= (2,000 - 100·x) passengers

New fare = 5 + x

New Fare × Final Number of passengers ≥ 12,000

(5+x)·(2,000 - 100 x) ≥ 12,000

5 (2,000 - 100 x) + x(2,000 - 100 x) ≥ 12,000

10,000 - 500 x + 2,000 x - 100 x² ≥ 12,000

100 - 5 x + 20 x - x² ≥ 120

- x² + 15 x +100 - 120 ≥ 0

-x² + 15 x -20 ≥ 0

x² - 15 x + 20 ≤ 0

⇒ x = 1.495

x ≥ $ 1.495, that is if we increase the fare by this amount or more than this the revenue will be at least 12,000 or more .

Also, f'(x) = 0 gives x = 7.5

⇒ The price of a one-way ticket that will maximize revenue is $7.50

9. Gold miners in Alaska have found, on average, 12 ounces of gold per 1000 tons of dirt excavated with a standard deviation of

netineya [11]

Answer:

9.18% probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 12, \sigma = 3$

What is the probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 16. So

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

$Z = \frac{16 - 12}{3}$

$Z = 1.33$

$Z = 1.33$ has a pvalue of 0.9082

1 - 0.9082 = 0.0918

9.18% probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated

Which shows how to solve the equation Three-fourths x = negative 6 for x in one step?

My name is Ann [436]

option A i.e. Three-fourths (four-thirds) x = negative 6 (four-thirds).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have , The given expression as Three-fourths x = negative 6 , which can be written as $\frac{3}{4} (x) = -6$ . Now in order to solve this equation in one step , we must notice that coefficient of x must be 1 but it's $\frac{3}{4}$ , Let's make coefficient of x as 1 by multiplying both side of equations by 4/3:

$\frac{3}{4} (x) = -6$

⇒ $\frac{3}{4} (x) = -6$

⇒ $\frac{3}{4}(\frac{4}{3} ) (x) = -6(\frac{4}{3} )$

⇒ $x = -6(\frac{4}{3} )$

⇒ $x = -2(4)$

⇒ $x = -8$

Therefore, x= -8 & correct option to solve the equation Three-fourths x = negative 6 for x in one step is option A i.e. Three-fourths (four-thirds) x = negative 6 (four-thirds).
