A company models its net income, in thousands of dollars, with the function f(x) = 9x² – 54x – 144, where x is the number of units of its product sold. How many units of its product does the company need to sell in order for the net income to equal $0?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Income = 0

  so    0   = 9x^2 - 54x - 154  

             you can go straight to the Quadratic Formula to find the answer, or you can try factoring as follows ....

    divide both sides of the equation by 9 to get

           x^2 -6x -16   = 0  which easily factors to :

          (x -8)(x+2) = 0     <===== this shows x = 8   or -2(throw out)

2. A used PlayStation 4 is on sale for 10% off the regular price of $160.00. If the sales tax rate is 9%, how much would I pay for the DVD player?​

Answers

Answer:

$156.96

Step-by-step explanation:

10% off of $160.00 would be $16.00 so minus that by $160.00. Which then equals $144.00. Sales tax should be reduced to the sale price. So that would make it 144 times 0.09 for the 9% which equals $12.96 then add the $144.00 which then makes it $156.96. Hope it helps and I'm not wrong about sales tax:)

Which of the following tables represents a function?

Answers

Answer:  Choice B

Reason:

Choices A, C and D have repeated x values. It allows us to rule them out.

Table A has x = 6 repeating. Table C has x = 3 and x = -3 repeated. Table D has x = 4 and x = 5 show up twice each.

Whenever we have repeated x values, it indicates we do not have a function. A function is only possible when each x value goes to exactly one y value only.

Table A has the input x = 6 lead to y = 2 and y = -2 at the same time. Table C and table D are a similar story. So this is another way to rule out choices A, C and D.

Luckily table B has no repeated x values. Each x input leads to exactly one and only one y output. Therefore, table B is a function.

Side Note: the y values can repeat, but the function won't be one-to-one.

A group of friends are playing a trivia game. players spin a spinner 2 times to find the 2 categories of trivia questions they will be asked. the spinner has 5 sections. the "music" and "sports" sections are each 1-half the size of the 3 larger sections.


to the nearest percentage, what is the probability that a player will be asked a math question ,begin emphasis,and then,end emphasis, a music question? enter the answer in the box.

Answers

The probability that a player will be asked a math question and then a music question is 0.03125

How to determine the probability?

The size of the sections are given as:

Music = 0.5

Sport = 0.5

Others = 1

So, the total size is:

Total = 0.5 + 0.5 + 1 + 1 + 1

Evaluate

Total = 4

The probability of asking a math question is:

P(Math) = 1/4 = 0.25

The probability of asking a music question is:

P(Music) = 0.5/4 = 0.125

The required probability is:

P(Math and Music) = P(Math) * P(Music)

This gives

P(Math and Music) = 0.25 * 0.125

Evaluate

P(Math and Music) = 0.03125

Hence, the probability that a player will be asked a math question and then a music question is 0.03125

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of the money after 27 years will be $4800.

What is the amount?

The quantity of money anyone has is termed as the amount. The solution to the question is given as follows:-

Given that investments double every 9 years and you start with a $600 investment. how much money would you have after 27 years?

We know that the amount is getting double in every 9 years so the number of times the amount will get doubled will be = 27 / 9 = 3

Future amount = 600(1+1)³

Future amount  = 600 ( 2 )³

If f¹ is supposed to say f⁻¹ : rewrite f(4x + 5) as an "obvious" function of 4x + 5, then replace 4x + 5 with x. By "obvious", I mean make it clear how 4x + 5 is the argument to f.

[tex]f(4x+5) = 12x+18 = 3 (4x + 6) = 3 (4x + 5 + 1) = 3 (4x + 5) + 3[/tex]

If the length of a rectangle is 6 more than twice the width and the total perimeter is 84cm, what is the rectangle's length?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

length = 2×width + 6

84 = 2×length + 2×width

now using the first in the second equation :

84 = 2×(2×width + 6) + 2×width = 4×width + 12 + 2×width

Here is a diagram of a black circle inside a white square and a diagram of a small grey square inside a white square.
The two white squares are the same size.


AB = 8x.

The sides of the square are tangents to the circle at the points E, F, G and H.
W, X, Y and Z are the midpoints of AB, BC, CD and DA respectively.

Work out the ratio of the area of the black circle to the area of the white square to the area of the grey square. Give your answer in its simplest form.

Hi, I don't understand this. Can someone please explain? It's 50 points.

Answers

The ratio of the area of the black circle to the area of the white square to the area of the gray square is π : 4 : 2

How to determine the ratio of the areas?

The side length AB is given as:

AB = 8x

The area of the white square is calculated as

White = (AB)²

This gives

White = (8x)²

Evaluate

White = 64x²

The side length AB represents the diameter of the black circle.

So, the radius is:

r =AB/2

This gives

r = 8x/2 = 4x

The area is then calculated as:

Circle = πr²

This gives

Circle = π(4x)²

Evaluate

Circle = 16πx²

Next, calculate AW and AZ using:

AZ = AW = AB/2

Evaluate

AZ = AW = 8x/2 = 4x

Calculate WZ using the following Pythagoras theorem

WZ² = AW² + AZ²

This gives

WZ² = (4x)² + (4x)²

Evaluate

WZ² = 2(4x)²

Take the square root of both sides

WZ = 4x√2

The area of the gray square is:

Gray = WZ²

This gives

Gray = 2(4x)²

Evaluate

Gray = 32x²

At this point, the areas are:

White = 64x²Circle = 16πx²Gray = 32x²

The ratio is then represented as:

Ratio = Circle : White : Gray

This gives

Ratio = 16πx² : 64x² : 32x²

Divide through by 16x²

Ratio = π : 4 : 2

Hence, the ratio of the area of the black circle to the area of the white square to the area of the gray square is π : 4 : 2

Gabby is a makeup artist and carries a lot of makeup around with her. she has 20 cosmetics in her bag, including 4 eye shadows. what is the probability that a randomly selected makeup item from her bag will be an eye shadow? write your answer as a fraction or whole number.

Answers

The probability that a randomly selected makeup item from her bag will be an eye shadow is 1/5 or 20%.

The probability of selecting an eye shadow from Gabby's bag can be calculated by dividing the number of eye shadows in the bag by the total number of cosmetics in the bag.

There are 4 eye shadows in Gabby's bag, and a total of 20 cosmetics. Therefore, the probability of selecting an eye shadow is:

P(eye shadow) = 4/20 = 1/5

This means that there is a 1 in 5 chance, or a 20% chance, that a randomly selected makeup item from Gabby's bag will be an eye shadow.

The probability can be expressed as a fraction or a whole number, depending on the context of the problem. In this case, we can express the probability as the fraction 1/5, which means that out of 20 possible cosmetics, only 4 are eye shadows.

We can also express the probability as the whole number 0.2 or 20%, which represents the proportion of eye shadows in Gabby's bag.
