Set up an algebraic equation that could represent the following situation:
Nkateko sells bananas at the low but fixed price of R3/kg. In order to ensure that she makes a reasonable profit, she adds a certain fixed amount of money to any quantity of bananas purchased. A customer who bought 4 kg of bananas was observed paying R14.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The profit for any purchased of bananas is R2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 1 kg banana = R 3

Banana purchased = 4 kg

So, the cost of 4 kg bananas = 4 x 3 = R 12

Amount paid = R 14

Profit = R 14 - R 12 = R 2

So, the profit on any purchased of bananas is R 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

This should be the awnser because we know that 15 to 19 is a increase. And next 25% increase is way too much, so 5% should be it.

5% increase? 25% increase would be way to high and it’s going up not down so it’s not decreasing:)

Answer:

133 fishes

Step-by-step explanation:

Units of food A = 400 units

Units of food B = 400 units

Fish Bass required 2 units of A and 4 units of B.

Fish Trout requires 5 units of A and 2 units of B.

i. For food A,

total units of food A required = 2 + 5

                                                 = 7 units

number of bass and trout that would consume food A = 2 x [tex]\frac{400}{7}[/tex]

                                               = 114.3

number of bass and trout that would consume food A = 114

ii. For food B,

total units of food B required = 4 + 2

                                                = 6 units

number of bass and trout that would consume food B = 2 x [tex]\frac{400}{6}[/tex]

                                                 = 133.3

number of bass and trout that would consume food B = 133

Thus, the maximum number of fish that the lake can support is 133.

Kendra reads in Modern Dog Magazine that the average age of dogs currently alive is 4.8 years. To determine if this finding applies to the customers in her pet store, Kendra surveys every fifth customer in her store who owns a dog and asks the age of their dog. She collects data for seven weeks and obtains the following averages.
Week Average Age (in years)
1 3.7
2 3.8
3 4.2
4 4.1
5 3.9
6 3.9
7 4.0
Select the statement that is true about Kendra's sample.
a) Kendra's samples are both accurate and precise.
b) Kendra's samples are precise but not accurate.
c) Kendra's samples are neither accurate nor precise.
d) Kendra's samples are accurate but not precise.

Answers

Answer:

The true statement about Kendra's sample is:

b) Kendra's samples are precise but not accurate.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Average age of dogs currently alive = 4.8 years

Average ages of dogs in Kendra's sample

Week   Average Age (in years)

1                    3.7

2                   3.8

3                   4.2

4                   4.1

5                  3.9

6                  3.9

7                  4.0

Total         27.6

Mean = 3.9 (27.6/7)

b) Accuracy refers to how close Kendra's sample mean age of dogs is to the average age value as stated in the Modern Dog Magazine.  While the Magazine stated an average age of 4.8 years, Kendra's sample produced a mean of 3.9 years.  On the other hand, precision refers to how close Kendra's sample measurements are to each other.  With a mean of 3.9 years, the sample measurements are very close to each other.  Therefore, we can conclude that "Kendra's samples are precise but not accurate."

Answer:

Kendra's samples are precise but not accurate.

Step-by-step explanation:

To be accurate and precise they should be around 4.8 for all the measures. We can see that they are all relatively close to one another (between 3.7 and 4.2), so they are precise. However, they are all are smaller than 4.8, so they are not accurate.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

 (2)  72°

Step-by-step explanation:

In this geometry, the angle at the tangent is half the measure of the intercepted arc.

  ∠CBD = (arc BD)/2 = 144°/2

  ∠CBD = 72°

__

Additional comment

Consider a point X anywhere on long arc BD. The inscribed angle at X will have half the measure of short arc BD, so will be 144°/2 = 72°. This is true regardless of the position of X on long arc BD. Now, consider that X might be arbitrarily close to point B. The angle at X is still 72°.

As X approaches B, the chord XB approaches a tangent to the circle at B. Effectively, this tangent geometry is a limiting case of inscribed angle geometry.

Answers

Answer:

The growth rate of the exponential function exceeds the growth rate of the linear function for 1 > x > 3

Step-by-step explanation:

edg2020 thank me latter

The growth rate of the exponential function exceeds the growth rate of the linear function for 1 ≤ x ≤ 3.

We have,

The graph of the linear function y = 7x is a straight line with a constant slope of 7, while the graph of the exponential function y = 7% is an increasing curve that starts at y = 1 and approaches y = infinity as x increases.

To compare the growth rates of the two functions, we can look at their derivatives.

The derivative of y = 7x is 7, which is a constant, while the derivative of

y = 7% is y' = 0.07y, which is proportional to y.

Now,

For x < 0, the growth rate of the linear function y = 7x exceeds the growth rate of the exponential function y = 7%.

This eliminates options 1 and 3.

For x > 0, the growth rate of the exponential function y = 7% exceeds the growth rate of the linear function y = 7x, since the derivative of the exponential function is proportional to the function itself.

This eliminates option 2.

Thus,

The growth rate of the exponential function exceeds the growth rate of the linear function for 1 ≤ x ≤ 3.

A recent study suggested that 70% of all eligible voters will vote in the next presidential election. Suppose 20 eligible voters were randomly selected from the population of all eligible voters. What is the probability that fewer than 11 of them will vote

Answers

Answer:

0.0479 = 4.79% probability that fewer than 11 of them will vote

Step-by-step explanation:

For each voter, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will vote, or they will not. The probability of a voter voting is independent of any other voter, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

70% of all eligible voters will vote in the next presidential election.

This means that [tex]p = 0.7[/tex]

20 eligible voters were randomly selected from the population of all eligible voters.

This means that [tex]n = 20[/tex]

What is the probability that fewer than 11 of them will vote?

This is:

[tex]P(X < 11) = P(X = 10) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 0)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 10) = C_{20,10}.(0.7)^{10}.(0.3)^{10} = 0.0308[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 9) = C_{20,9}.(0.7)^{9}.(0.3)^{11} = 0.0120[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 8) = C_{20,8}.(0.7)^{8}.(0.3)^{12} = 0.0039[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 7) = C_{20,7}.(0.7)^{7}.(0.3)^{13} = 0.0010[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{20,10}.(0.7)^{6}.(0.3)^{12} = 0.0002[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{20,5}.(0.7)^{5}.(0.3)^{15} \approx 0[/tex]

The probability of 5 or less voting is very close to 0, so they will not affect the outcome. Then

[tex]P(X < 11) = P(X = 10) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 0) = 0.0308 + 0.0120 + 0.0039 + 0.0010 + 0.0002 = 0.0479[/tex]

0.0479 = 4.79% probability that fewer than 11 of them will vote

What is system of equations?

A system of equations is a collection of two or more equations with a same set of unknown variables.

What is solution to the system of equation?

A solution to a system of equations is a set of values for the variable that satisfy all the equations simultaneously.

What is substitution method?

The substitution method is a method to solve simultaneous linear equations. In which the value of one variable from one equation is substituted in the other equation.

According to the given question

we have a system of equations

[tex]6x + 3y = 24..(i)[/tex]

and, [tex]3x -4y = -21..(ii)[/tex]

From equation (i)

[tex]6x + 3y = 24[/tex]

⇒ [tex]2x + y = 8[/tex]

⇒ [tex]y = 8-2x[/tex]

Substitute the value of y in equation (ii)

⇒[tex]3x - 4(8-2x)=-21[/tex]

⇒[tex]3x-32+8x =-21[/tex]

⇒[tex]11x = 32-21[/tex]

⇒[tex]11x = 11[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x =1[/tex]

Substitute, x = 1 in either the equations (i) and (ii)

⇒[tex]3(1)-4y =-21[/tex]

⇒[tex]3 -4y=-21[/tex]

⇒[tex]-4y = -21-3[/tex]

⇒-4y = -24

⇒[tex]y =6[/tex]

Hence, the value of x and y for the given system of equations is 1 and 6 respectively.

A farmer finds that if she plants 55 trees per acre, each tree will yield 25 bushels of fruit. She estimates that for each additional tree planted per acre, the yield of each tree will decrease by 4 bushels. How many trees should she plant per acre to maximize her harvest

Answers

Answer:

31 trees per acre will maximize the harvest

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Plant \to 55[/tex] trees/acre

[tex]Yield \to 25[/tex] bushels

[tex]x \to trees[/tex]

Required

Number of trees to maximize harvest

From the question, we understand that:

Yield will decrease by 4 i.e. 25 - 4x

For every additional tree planted, i.e. 55 + x

So, the function is:

[tex]F(x) = (25- 4x)*(55+x)[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]F(x) = 25 * 55 -4x * 55 + 25 * x -4x*x[/tex]

[tex]F(x) = 1375 - 220x + 25x -4x^2[/tex]

[tex]F(x) = 1375 -195x -4x^2[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]F(x) = -4x^2 -195x +1375[/tex]

The maximum of a quadratic function is calculated as:

[tex]Max = -\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

In the above equation:

[tex]a = -4; b =-195; c = 1375[/tex]

So:

[tex]x = -\frac{-195}{2 * -4}[/tex]

[tex]x = -\frac{195}{8}[/tex]

[tex]x = -24.375[/tex]

Recall that the number of trees to be planted is: 55 + x

So, we have:

[tex]Trees = 55+x[/tex]

[tex]Trees = 55-24.375[/tex]

[tex]Trees = 30.625[/tex]

Approximate
