Answer:

Your total utility first increased then decreased with the first three pies you ate.

Step-by-step explanation:

You really enjoyed the first two pies, the third one was okay, but as soon as you ate the fourth one you became ill and lost the contest.

Your total utility first increased then decreased with the first three pies you ate.

As the amount of commodity consumed increases, the utility goes on decreasing with each next consumption.

A store uses the expression –2p + 50 to model the number of backpacks it sells per day, where the price, p, can be anywhere from
Rus_ich [418]
Revenue = price * number of backpacks
number of backpacks = -2p + 50

p = 9 ; -2(9) + 50 = -18 + 50 = 32
revenue = 9 * 32 = 288

p = 12 ; -2(12) + 50 = -24 + 50 = 26
revenue = 12 * 26 = 312

<u>p = 12.50 ; -2(12.50) + 50 = -25 + 50 = 25</u>
<u>revenue = 12.50 * 25 = 312.50</u>   GIVES THE MAXIMUM REVENUE

p = 15 ; -2(15) + 50 = -30 + 50 = 20
revenue = 15 * 20 = 300

Morgan is walking her dog on an 8-meter-long leash. She is currently 500 meters from her house, so the maximum and minimum dista
algol [13]

Answer: The minimum and maximum distances that Morgan's dog may be from the house are 508 meters and 492 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to solve the given equation: |x – 500| = 8.

The modulus can take a positive value (x - 500) or a negative value (-x+500).

  • <em>For the positive value: </em>

x -500 = 8

x = 8+500

x =508

  • <em>For the negative value: </em>

- (x -500) =8

-x +500 =8  

500 -8 = x

492 =x

So, the minimum and maximum distances that Morgan's dog may be from the house are 508 meters and 492 meters.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

The curve produced by the water coming from a fountain is sketched on the graph.
Bas_tet [7]
Answer: B. -(x-2)^2 + 3

The vertex of the parabola is (2,3) so we can plug in those values into the equation for vertex form. And the parabola is facing down, so we know the function is multiplied by -1.

Therefore the equation is -(x-2)^2 + 3

Look at the attached image to see what vertex form is

An urn contains 3 red and 7 black balls. Players and withdraw balls from the urn consecutively until a red ball is selected. Fin
Sliva [168]

Correct question:

An urn contains 3 red and 7 black balls. Players A and B withdraw balls from the urn consecutively until a red ball is selected. Find the probability that A selects the red ball. (A draws the first ball, then B, and so on. There is no replacement of the balls drawn).

Answer:

The probability that A selects the red ball is 58.33 %

Step-by-step explanation:

A selects the red ball if the first red ball is drawn 1st, 3rd, 5th or 7th

1st selection: 9C2

3rd selection: 7C2

5th selection: 5C2

7th selection: 3C2

9C2 = (9!) / (7!2!) = 36

7C2 = (7!) / (5!2!) = 21

5C2 = (5!) / (3!2!) = 10

3C2 = (3!) / (2!) = 3

sum of all the possible events = 36 + 21 + 10 + 3 = 70

Total possible outcome of selecting the red ball = 10C3

10C3 = (10!) / (7!3!)

         = 120

The probability that A selects the red ball is sum of all the possible events divided by the total possible outcome.

P( A selects the red ball) = 70 / 120

                                         = 0.5833

                                         = 58.33 %
