Demand for an electric fan is related to its selling price p (in dollars) by the equation n = 1960 − 70 p where n is the number

of fans that can be sold per month at a price p . Find the selling price that will maximize the revenue.

Answer:

$14

Step-by-step explanation:

The revenue from sales of fans is the product of the number of fans sold and the price at which they are sold:

R(p) = n·p = (1960-70p)p

R(p) = 70(28 -p)p

This equation describes a parabola that opens downward and has zeros at p=0 and p=28. The axis of symmetry is halfway between those zeros, at p=14. It goes through the vertex or point of maximum revenue.

The price for maximum revenue is p = 14 dollars.

1) The population

Is the set of all the terms that the teacher taught this semester and which he wrote down on the note cards and put in the paper bag.

2) The sample is every set of five cards that is selected by each student.

3) I think the sample is representative because all ther terms have the same probability of being selected.

Further, given that the cards are replaced every time all the students will face the same population when they are going to select a sample.

A survey of 125 households was done to investigate whether households have laptops, tablets, or

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

3) 0.326

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Number of surveyed households =125

We want to determine the probability that a randomly selected household would have a laptop given that it does not have a tablet.

Written in Probability notation: P(Laptop|No Tablet)

$P(Laptop|No Tablet)=\dfrac{P(L\cap T')}{P(T')} \\=\dfrac{31/125}{95/125}\\=\dfrac{31}{95}\\\\=0.326$

The correct option is C,

LORAN is a long range hyperbolic navigation system. Suppose two LORAN transmitters are located at the coordinates (-100,0) and (

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

$\frac {(x)^{2}}{8100}+\frac {(y)^{2}}{1900}=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

center of the hyperbola is (0,0) = (h, k)

c = the distance form the center to either focal point = 100

$c^{2} =100^{2}=10000$

The differences from the receiver to the transmitters = 2a

2a = 180 miles

a = 180/2=90 miles

$a^2 =90^{2}= 8100$

$b^{2}= c^{2} - a^{2}$

$b^{2}= 100^{2}-90^{2}=1900$

$b^{2}=1900$

The standard form is

$\frac {(x-h)^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac {(y-k)^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$

$\frac {(x-0)^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac {(y-0)^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$

$\frac {(x)^{2}}{8100}+\frac {(y)^{2}}{1900}=1$

A water trough has two congruent isosceles trapezoids as ends and two congruent rectangles as sides.

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Part a) The exterior surface area is equal to $160\ ft^{2}$

Part b) The volume is equal to $240\ ft^{3}$

Part c) The volume water left in the trough will be $84\ ft^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) we know that

The exterior surface area is equal to the area of both trapezoids plus the area of both rectangles

so

<em>Find the area of two rectangles</em>

$A=2[12*5]=120\ ft^{2}$

<em>Find the area of two trapezoids</em>

$A=2[\frac{1}{2}(8+2)h]$

Applying Pythagoras theorem calculate the height h

$h^{2}=5^{2}-3^{2}$

$h^{2}=16$

$h=4\ ft$

substitute the value of h to find the area

$A=2[\frac{1}{2}(8+2)(4)]=40\ ft^{2}$

The exterior surface area is equal to

$120\ ft^{2}+40\ ft^{2}=160\ ft^{2}$

Part b) Find the volume

We know that

The volume is equal to

$V=BL$

where

B is the area of the trapezoidal face

L is the length of the trough

we have

$B=20\ ft^{2}$

$L=12\ ft$

substitute

$V=20(12)=240\ ft^{3}$

Part c)

<em>step 1</em>

Calculate the area of the trapezoid for h=2 ft (the half)

the length of the midsegment of the trapezoid is (8+2)/2=5 ft

$A=\frac{1}{2}(5+2)(2)=7\ ft^{2}$

<em>step 2</em>

Find the volume

The volume is equal to

$V=BL$

where

B is the area of the trapezoidal face

L is the length of the trough

we have

$B=7\ ft^{2}$

$L=12\ ft$

substitute

$V=7(12)=84\ ft^{3}$
