Answer:

Numbers in the solution set of this problem = ( -5, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

Two-fifths of one less than a number =\frac{2}{5}(x-1)

Three-fifths of one more than a number =\frac{3}{5}(x+1)

We have two-fifths of one less than a number is less than three-fifths of one more than that number

That is

             \frac{2}{5}(x-1)-5

Numbers in the solution set of this problem = ( -5, ∞)

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The population that gives the maximum sustainable yield is 45000 swordfishes.

The maximum sustainable yield is 202500 swordfishes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be f(p) = -0.01\cdot p^{2}+9\cdot p, the maximum sustainable yield can be found by using first and second derivatives of the given function: (First and Second Derivative Tests)

First Derivative Test

f'(p) = -0.02\cdot p +9

Let equalize the resulting expression to zero and solve afterwards:

-0.02\cdot p + 9 = 0

p = 450

Second Derivative Test

f''(p) = -0.02

This means that result on previous part leads to an absolute maximum.

The population that gives the maximum sustainable yield is 45000 swordfishes.

The maximum sustainable yield is:

f(450) = -0.01\cdot (450)^{2}+9\cdot (450)

f(450) =2025

The maximum sustainable yield is 202500 swordfishes.

Rachael ordered early learning software for her daughter from an online retailer. Each item costs $6.50, and there is a shipping
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Total cost = (7 items * Cost per item) + Shipping fee = 7*6.5 + 8.5 = $54

(b)

Modelling the above equation with symbols:

c = s*6.5 + 8.5 = 6.5s + 8.5

(c)

For a total cost of 80$, c = 80:

80 = 6.5s + 8.5

Calculating, we get:

s =  11 items

Rachel ordered a total of 11 items

Art wants to know how much he'll have to invest today to receive an annuity of $8,000 for three years if interest is earned at 1
Svet_ta [14]
He should invest $80,000 if he wants $8,000 at 10% interest. He can withdraw $8,000 at the end of each year. This is because if $8,000 is 10% of what he has in his bank account, to get the full amount (100%), we can multiply by 10, because 10% x 10= 100%. So $8,000 x 10= $80,000.
