Distance =  speed * time
Upstream
d = 5 * (x - 3)
Downstream
d = 3.5(x + 3)        where d = distance beween piers  and x =  speed of the boat
    Equating:-
5x - 15 = 3.5x + 10.5
1.5x = 25.5
so x =   17 mph 

so d = 5(17) - 15 = 85-15  = 70 miles Answer

9.5 miles, I think. (If not, I'm sorry!)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I use  84+ CE

stat edit, then fill in the #s

then

vars 5

then

2'nd stat plot, on

then, click stat

Click arrow 1 time to the left to get to Calc

then click (4)(LinReg(ax+b))

then click enter 5 times

(y=-25.31428571x+1000.285714

y=-25.3x+1000.3

now, lets use computer:

y=-25.31(543)+1000.3

y=-12743.03

round to the biggest whole number )

this doesn't really work, so I will put 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 instead of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and do the same thing

now I get

y=-25.31428571x+51603.54286

y=-25.3x+51603.5

now, lets use computer:

y=-25.3(543)+51603.5

y=37865.6

round to the biggest whole number:

y=37866

so, year 37866

If there are no notebooks purchased, then Eula may buy 5 binders. If no binders are bought, then Eula may buy 10 notebooks. If 7 notebooks are purchased, then one binder may be purchased; this will also cause Eula to have $2 extra (maybe for tax).

A basic cellular package costs $20 per month for 60 minutes of calling, with an additional charge of $0.20/min beyond that time.
Anika [276]

Answer: you can use 260 min, 60 min at a fixed price ($20) and extra 200.

Step-by-step explanation:

C(x) = 20 + 0.20(x − 60)

C(x) ≤ 60

20 + 0.20(x − 60) ≤ 60

0.20(x − 60) ≤ 60 - 20

0.20x - 12 ≤ 40

0.20x ≤ 40 + 12

0.20x ≤ 52

x ≤ 52/0.2

x ≤ 260

This way, you can use 260 min, 60 min at a fixed price ($20) and extra 200.

A bar graph titled Album Type Sold per Year has year on the x-axis and number of albums sold on the y-axis. For C D s, in 2008 t
stira [4]

Answer:

True, True, False, True, False, True

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>CDs have a higher mean than digital</u>

<u />

Let's check.  CD mean is (1000 + 800 + 800 + 600 + 400 + 200)/6 = 633.33

Digital mean: (100 + 300 + 300 + 500 + 700 + 900)/6 = 466.67

CD's mean is higher.  Since you are dividing byt he same number you also could have just added the amount and found which was a larger number.  But yes, this is true.

<u>The range of digital is 800</u>

<u />

The range is the highest number inus the lowest number.  For digital the highest is 900 and lowest is 100 so the ange is 900-100 = 800.  So this is true.

<u>The median of CDs is 400. </u>

<u />

The median is the middle value for odd numbers of values, or the average of the two middle values.  6 total values means you have to take the third and fourth and average them.  in CDs the middle values are 800 and 600, the average is 700, so that is what the median is.  this is false.

<u>Both have the same interquartile range. </u>

<u />

Interquartile range is to find the middle number or numbers like in median, then take the two parts it is split into and find the "median" of those.  Then subtract the larger one fromt he smaller one.

IQR of CD the first half is 200, 400, 600 so the middle here is 400, second half has a middle number of 800 so IQR here is 800-400=400

IQR of digital is 700-300 = 400 so yes both are the same.

<u>Both have the same median</u>

<u />

We know the medan of CDs is 700 then findign the median of digital is (300+500)/2 = 400.  So no, the medians are not the same.

<u>Digital’s mean is around 467. </u>

<u />

We founf the mean for digital to be 466.67 which rounds up to 467, So I would say it is true.

A print shop makes bumper stickers for election campaigns. If x stickers are ordered (where x &lt; 10,000), then the price per s
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

P(x) = (0.049x - 0.0000015x²)

Step-by-step explanation:

price per sticker is 0.14 − 0.000002x dollars

total cost of producing the order is 0.091x − 0.0000005x² dollars.

P(x) = profit = Revenue - Cost

Let the number of units of stickers made be x

Revenue = (price per sticker) × (total units sold) = (0.14 − 0.000002x) × (x)

= (0.14x - 0.000002x²) dollars.

Cost of producing x units in the order = (0.091x − 0.0000005x²)

P(x) = 0.14x - 0.000002x² - (0.091x − 0.0000005x²) = 0.14x - 0.091x - 0.000002x² + 0.0000005x²

= (0.049x - 0.0000015x²)

P(x) = (0.049x - 0.0000015x²)

Hope this Helps!!!
