Answer 1

Answer:

the magnitude of a real number without regard to its sign.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, |-3| would just be a 3 in general, no negative sign in the front.

Answer 2
Absolute value describes the distance from zero that a number is on the number line, without considering direction. The absolute value of a number is never negative.

The total cost (in dollars) of printing x dictionaries is C(x) = 20,000 + 10x. Find the average value of the cost function over the interval [0, 700).

Answers

Answer:

The average value of the cost function over the interval  is of $23,500.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average value of a function:

The average value of a function, over an inteval [a,b], is given by:

[tex]A = \frac{1}{b-a} \int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx[/tex]

In this case:

Function [tex]C(x) = 20000 - 10x[/tex], interval with [tex]a = 0,b = 700[/tex]

So

[tex]A = \frac{1}{700} \int_{0}^{700} 20000+10x dx[/tex]

[tex]A = \frac{1}{700} (20000x+5x^2)|_{0}^{700}[/tex]

So

[tex]A = \frac{20000(700)+5(700)^2}{700} = 23500[/tex]

The average value of the cost function over the interval  is of $23,500.

y = mx + b

-10 is b because it´s the y intercept (the y value when x is 0).

now, the slope (m) is rise/run:

this is easier graphed, but you can see that the run is 3 (moving sideways on the x axis) and the rise is 2 (going up or down) so its 2/3.

because we are going down on the y axis, the slope is negative (so is the y intercept).

So y = -2/3 -10 is the answer.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 19

  A = 30°

  B = C = 75°

Step-by-step explanation:

In an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite the congruent sides have the same measures.

  A = B

  3x +18 = 7x -58

  76 = 4x . . . . . . . . add 58-4x

  19 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

Then the equal angles measure ...

  A = B = 3(19) +18 = 75

  C = 2(19) -8 = 30

Angles A, B, C measure 75°, 75°, 30°, respectively.

_____

Alternate solution

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, so you could write ...

  (3x +18) +(7x -58) +(2x -8) = 180

  12x = 228 . . . . . add 48

  x = 19 . . . . . divide by 12

The orange paint is applied to 12 bridges, and the yellow paint is applied to 12 bridges. After a period of 1 year, reflectometer readings were made end pillars. (A higher reading means better visibility.) For the orange paint, the mean reflectometer reading was x19.4, with standard deviation s1-2.5. For the mean was X2-6.5, with standard deviation S2-2.4. Based on these data, can we conclude that the yellow paint has less visibility after 1 year?

Answers

Answer:

a. difference of means

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean , x = 9.4

Standard deviation, [tex]s.d_1[/tex] = 2.5

Number, [tex]n_1[/tex] = 12

Mean, y = 6.5

standard deviation, [tex]s.d_2[/tex] = 2.4

Number, [tex]n_2[/tex] = 12

The null hypothesis is : [tex]$H_0: \mu_1=\mu_2$[/tex]

The alternate hypothesis is : [tex]$H_1: \mu_1>\mu_2$[/tex]

Level of significance, [tex]\alpha[/tex] = 0.1

From the [tex]\text{standard normal table, right tailed,}[/tex] [tex]$t_{1/2}$[/tex] = 1.363

Since out test is right tailed.

Reject [tex]H_0[/tex], if [tex]$T_0>1.363$[/tex]

We use the test statics,

[tex]$t_0=\frac{(x-y)}{\sqrt{\frac{s.d_1}{n_1}+\frac{s.d_2}{n_2}}}$[/tex]

[tex]$t_0=\frac{(9.4-6.5)}{\sqrt{\frac{6.25}{12}+\frac{5.76}{12}}}$[/tex]

[tex]$t_0=2.899$[/tex]

[tex]$|t_0|=2.899$[/tex]

[tex]\text{Critical value}[/tex]

The value of [tex]$|t_{1/2}|$[/tex] with minimum [tex]$\left(n_1-1,n_2-1)$[/tex] that is 11 df is 1.363

We go [tex]$|t_0|=2.899$[/tex] and [tex]$|t_{1/2}|$[/tex] = 1.363

Decision making:

Since the value of [tex]|t_0|>|t_{1/2}|$[/tex]  and we reject the [tex]H_0[/tex]

The p-value : right tail [tex]H_a:(p>2.8988)[/tex]

                                      = 0.00724

Therefore the value of [tex]$p_{0.1} > 0.00724$[/tex], and so we reject the [tex]H_0[/tex]

Thus we are testing 'the difference of means" in this problem.

Answers

Answer:

Question 1: x = 6

Question 2: Correct!

Question 3: x = 11

Question 4: Correct!

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

Angle 22x - 2 DOESN'T equal 50 degrees. Only Alternate Interior Angles will equal each other. These two angles are Same Side Interior Angles, meaning if you added them together, they would equal 180 degrees.

Knowing that adding 22x - 2 and 50 will equals 180 degrees, here's how we solve for x:

First, subtract 50 from 180 to find what angle 22x - 2 will equal:

180 - 50 = 130

130 = 22x - 2

Now use basic algebra to solve for x:

130 = 22x - 2

(add 2 to both sides)

132 = 22x

(divide both sides by 22)

x = 6

Question 3:

Angle 5x + 15 DOESN'T equal 9x + 11. They make up a line, which is 180 degrees, so they are supplementary angles.

With that in mind, to solve for x, add the two equations and set it equal to 180:

5x + 15 + (9x + 11) = 180

Now use basic algebra to solve for x:

5x + 15 + 9x + 11 = 180

(add like terms)

14x + 26 = 180

(subtract 26 from both sides)

14x = 154

(divide 14 from both sides)

x = 11

A bank gives you a loan of 1,500,000 Baht to buy a house. The interest rate of the loan is 0.01% per day (Using 1 year = 365 days) How much interest you pay after 10 years

Answers

Answer:

547 500

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest for 1 year:

0.01%×365=3.65 a year

3.65×10=36.5% for 10 years

36.5×1,500,000÷100=547 500

The interest paid after 10 years is 547 ,500 Baht.

What is Interest ?

Interest is the amount paid or earned when a loan is taken or an investment is done respectively.

It is given that

Principal = 1,500,000 Baht

Rate = 0.01 % per day

Time period = 10 years

Interest = ?

Interest = P *R *T/100

Interest = 1500000 * 0.01 *365* 10 / 100

Interest = 547,500 Baht

Therefore the interest paid after 10 years is 547 ,500 Baht.

From the question we are told that:

Percentage of Dentist Doctors P(D)=49\%

Sample size n=689

Generally the equation for  probability that the proportion of doctors who are dentists will be less than [tex]P(<47\%)[/tex] is mathematically given by

 [tex]P(<47\%)=Z>(\frac{\=x-P(D)}{\sqrt{\frac{P(D)*1-P(D)}{n}}})[/tex]
