about

Answers

Answer 1

The market share of the companies is an illustration of fractions.

The market share of each company in the long run (i.e. after 6 months) is 37/108, 35/216 and 1/108, respectively

How to determine the market shares in the long run

The current market shares are:

Company A = 2/9Company B = 4/9Company C = 1/3

After 6 months, we have:

Company A:

Retains 3/4Losses 1/6 to BLosses 1/12 to C

Company B:

Retains 1/2Losses 1/3 to ALosses 1/6 to C

Company C:

Retains 3/8Losses 1/4 to ALosses 3/8 to B

The amount of customers lost by each company is

Lost = Market share * [Share retained - Share lost to the other two companies].

So, we have:

A = 2/9 * [3/4 - 1/6 - 1/12] = 1/9

B = 4/9 * [1/2 - 1/3 - 1/6] = 0

C = 1/3 * [3/8 - 1/4 - 3/8] = -1/12

The amount of customers gained by each company is

Gain = Market share of company gained from * Share gained

So, we have:

A = 1/3 * 4/9 + 1/4 * 1/3 = 25/108

B = 1/6 * 2/9 + 3/8 * 1/3 = 35/216

C = 1/12 * 2/9 + 1/6 * 4/9 = 5/54

The total gain in 6 months is:

Total Gain = Gain + Loss.

This gives

A = 25/108 + 1/9 = 37/108

B = 35/216 + 0 = 35/216

C = 5/54 - 1/12 = 1/108

Hence, the market share of each company in the long run (i.e. after 6 months) is 37/108, 35/216 and 1/108, respectively

width. The corresponding modeling system is 2x + 2y =120 x-y = 20
Solve the system graphically

Answers

The dimension of the rectangle is 40meters by 20meters

What is the perimeter of a figure?

The perimeter of a figure is the sum of all the external sides of the figure

The formula for calculating the perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+w)

If the length is 20 meters longer than the width, then;

l = 20 + w

Substitute

120 = 2(20+2w)

60 = 20 + 2w

30 = 10 + w

w = 20 meters

Since l = 20  + w

l = 20 + 20

l = 40 meters

Hence the dimension of the rectangle is 40meters by 20meters

Options:
[tex](a) $\frac{1}{2}$\\(b) $\frac{2}{5}$[/tex]

Answers

Let

[tex]S_n = \displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^n r^k = 1 + r + r^2 + \cdots + r^n[/tex]

where we assume |r| < 1. Multiplying on both sides by r gives

[tex]r S_n = \displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^n r^{k+1} = r + r^2 + r^3 + \cdots + r^{n+1}[/tex]

and subtracting this from [tex]S_n[/tex] gives

[tex](1 - r) S_n = 1 - r^{n+1} \implies S_n = \dfrac{1 - r^{n+1}}{1 - r}[/tex]

As n → ∞, the exponential term will converge to 0, and the partial sums [tex]S_n[/tex] will converge to

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{n\to\infty} S_n = \dfrac1{1-r}[/tex]

Now, we're given

[tex]a + ar + ar^2 + \cdots = 15 \implies 1 + r + r^2 + \cdots = \dfrac{15}a[/tex]

[tex]a^2 + a^2r^2 + a^2r^4 + \cdots = 150 \implies 1 + r^2 + r^4 + \cdots = \dfrac{150}{a^2}[/tex]

We must have |r| < 1 since both sums converge, so

[tex]\dfrac{15}a = \dfrac1{1-r}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{150}{a^2} = \dfrac1{1-r^2}[/tex]

Solving for r by substitution, we have

[tex]\dfrac{15}a = \dfrac1{1-r} \implies a = 15(1-r)[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{150}{225(1-r)^2} = \dfrac1{1-r^2}[/tex]

Recalling the difference of squares identity, we have

[tex]\dfrac2{3(1-r)^2} = \dfrac1{(1-r)(1+r)}[/tex]

We've already confirmed r ≠ 1, so we can simplify this to

[tex]\dfrac2{3(1-r)} = \dfrac1{1+r} \implies \dfrac{1-r}{1+r} = \dfrac23 \implies r = \dfrac15[/tex]

It follows that

[tex]\dfrac a{1-r} = \dfrac a{1-\frac15} = 15 \implies a = 12[/tex]

and so the sum we want is

[tex]ar^3 + ar^4 + ar^6 + \cdots = 15 - a - ar - ar^2 = \boxed{\dfrac3{25}}[/tex]

Identify the rational function whose graph is given below. Note the x-intercept of the graph is x=4 and the y-intercept of the graph is y=−3. The graph has one vertical asymptote at x=2

Answers

Using the vertical asymptote of the function, it is found that it is given by:

[tex]f(x) = -1.5\frac{(x - 4)}{x - 2}[/tex]

What are the asymptotes of a function f(x)?The vertical asymptotes are the values of x which are outside the domain, which in a fraction are the zeroes of the denominator.The horizontal asymptote is the value of f(x) as x goes to infinity, as long as this value is different of infinity.

In this problem, the x-intercept of the graph is x=4, hence the numerator is a(x - 4).

The graph has one vertical asymptote at x=2, hence the denominator is x - 2.

Hence:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{a(x - 4)}{x - 2}[/tex]

The y-intercept of the graph is y=−3, hence:

[tex]-3 = \frac{a(0 - 4)}{0 - 2}[/tex]

[tex]-4a = 6[/tex]

[tex]a = -1.5[/tex]

Thus, the function is:

[tex]f(x) = -1.5\frac{(x - 4)}{x - 2}[/tex]

Researchers would like to assess the overall health of white pine trees in a state park. The park has a paved road that runs through the middle of the park. To select trees to assess for damage, the ranger parks at the side of the road and chooses 100 trees near the road to assess for damage. Which of the following statements best describes the bias that may arise from the results?

Because only 100 trees were selected, the overall damage of trees in the park may be underestimated.
The ranger should take another sample of trees near the road and compare it to the first sample to reduce bias.
Because a random sample of trees was chosen, the sample should provide a suitable estimate of the overall health of the trees.
Trees near the road may have more damage than trees away from it, so the results may overestimate the overall damage of the trees.

TYSM IF SOMEONE HELPS

Answers

Answer:

Minimum

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros of a quadratic equation are the points at which the parabola intersects the x-axis.

[tex]\sf x=3 \implies x-3=0[/tex]

[tex]\sf x=7 \implies x-7=0[/tex]

[tex]\sf \implies y=a(x-3)(x-7)[/tex]   (for some constant a)

[tex]\sf \implies y=ax^2-10ax+21a[/tex]

The optimal value is the y-coordinate of the vertex.  

[tex]\sf \implies vertex=(x,-3)[/tex]

The x-coordinate of the vertex is the midpoint of the zeros:

[tex]\sf x=\dfrac{7-3}{2}+3=5[/tex]

[tex]\sf \implies vertex=(5,-3)[/tex]

Therefore, the vertex will be in Quadrant IV and so the parabola opens upwards into Quadrant I.  

So the optimal value is a MINIMUM since the vertex is the minimum point of the curve.

Additional Information to create the equation of the quadratic

Vertex form of quadratic equation:  [tex]\sf y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]

where (h, k) is the vertex

[tex]\sf \implies y=a(x-5)^2-3[/tex]

[tex]\sf \implies y=ax^2-10ax+25a-3[/tex]

To find the value of a, compare the constants of both equations:

[tex]\sf 21a=25a-3[/tex]

[tex]\sf \implies -4a=-3[/tex]

[tex]\sf \implies a=\dfrac34[/tex]

So the final equation is:

[tex]\sf factor \ form \implies y=\dfrac34(x-3)(x-7)[/tex]

[tex]\sf standard \ form\implies y=\dfrac34x^2-\dfrac{15}{2}x+\dfrac{63}{4}[/tex]

He is using an app to manage all the sales, but if keeps fraction of every sales.

The equation which represents his net pay is P(x)=[tex]x^{2}+20x-196[/tex]

How many sales does martin need ?

We have to solve the given quadratic equation.

Here, x= (-b±[tex]\sqrt{ b^{2}-4ac }[/tex])/2a

⇒ x= (-20±[tex]\sqrt{400+4*196}[/tex])/2

⇒ x= (-20±[tex]\sqrt{1184}[/tex])/2

⇒ x= -10±[tex]\sqrt{296}[/tex]

We habe to take the maximum value of x. So we neglect the negative sign.

Hence, x= -10+17.2 = 7.2 = 8 (approx) ,here we can not take 7 because if he sales 7 pieces then the money should less than $1000.
