The slope of the budget line for a consumer who has $100 to spend per day, with product A at $7/unit on the horizontal axis and product B at $15/unit on the vertical axis, is -0.47. More consumption of one good requires a sacrifice in the consumption of the other.

The subject of this question is the slope of the budget line in microeconomics, which represents the trade-off between two goods, product A and product B. It can be determined by dividing the price of the good on the horizontal axis (product A) by the price of the good on the vertical axis (product B). Hence, the slope of the budget line is $7/$15 = 0.47 (rounded to two decimal places). The slope is negative reflecting the fact that to obtain more of one good, a consumer needs to give up some of the other.

The slope of the budget line is -7/15 or approximately -0.467.

       In this case, the slope = - (7 / 15).

After calculating, we get the slope as - 7/15 or approximately -0.467. This slope indicates the rate at which the consumer can trade product A for product B while staying within their budget.

IS THE ANSWER

Answer:

The average revenue per passenger = E(x) = $15.70

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^{2}} = \sqrt{398} \approx 19.95[/tex]

b)$1,884 ± $20

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Refer  attached fig for probability model,

i)The average revenue per passenger = E(x) = $15.70

[tex]\sigma^{2} = V[X] \sum _{x} (x-\mu )^{2} \times P(X=x)[/tex]

[tex]\sigma^{2} = (0-15.7)^{2} \times 0.54+(25-15.7)^{2} \times 0.34 +(60-15.7)^{2} \times 0.12[/tex]

[tex]\sigma^{2} = 133.1 + 29.4 + 235.5 = 398[/tex]

Standard Deviation = [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^{2}} = \sqrt{398} \approx 19.95[/tex]

ii)  average revenue per passenger = E(x) = $15.70

b) Revenue should the airline expect for a flight of 120 passengers

revenue = 120 * $15.70 = $1,884 ± $20 (or 19.95 rounded up)

use same σ

The average revenue per passenger is $15.2 and the standard deviation is $18.45. For a flight of 120 passengers, the airline may expect around $1824 with standard deviation of $202.33. We're assuming that each passenger's baggage habits are independent.

To solve this, first we'll construct a probability model. Let X be a random variable denoting the revenue from each passenger. Then X can take three possible outcomes: $0 (with probability 0.54), $25 (with probability 0.34) or $60 (with probability 0.12).

The average revenue from each passenger E(X), also known as the expected value of X, is calculated as follows:

E(X) = 0*0.54 + 25*0.34 + 60*0.12 = $15.2

The standard deviation of X, denoted σ(X), is computed as follows:

σ(X) = sqrt[(0-15.2)^2*0.54 + (25-15.2)^2*0.34  + (60-15.2)^2*.12] = $18.45

Given this, for a flight of 120 people, the total expected revenue is 120*$15.2 = $1824 and the standard deviation of total revenue would be sqrt(120)*$18.45 = $202.33.

The underlying assumption here is that the baggage habits of passengers are independent, which is reasonable in this case.

Original price × (1 - reduction percentage) = Reduced price. £635.71 × (1 - 0.053) ≈ £602.97 (rounded to 2 DP).

let's break it down step by step:

1. Calculate the reduction amount:

  Multiply the original price (£635.71) by the reduction percentage (5.3% or 0.053).

  Reduction Amount = £635.71 * 0.053

2. Subtract the reduction amount from the original price:

  Subtract the reduction amount from the original price to find the reduced price.

  Reduced Price = £635.71 - Reduction Amount

Now, let's plug in the values:

1. Calculate the reduction amount:

  Reduction Amount = £635.71 * 0.053

                   ≈ £33.73763

2. Subtract the reduction amount from the original price:

  Reduced Price = £635.71 - £33.73763

                ≈ £602.97237

Rounded to two decimal places:

Reduced Price ≈ £602.97

So, after the 5.3% reduction, Terry's car insurance costs approximately £602.97.

Answer:Lilah's speed on the train is 60 mph and Mason's speed is 75 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of Lilah.

Lilah is moving from Portland to Seattle. It takes her 3 hours to go by train.

Distance = speed × time

Distance covered by Lilah in moving from Portland to Seattle would be

3 × x = 3x

It takes him 2.4 hours to get to Seattle, driving at 15 miles per hour faster than the speed of the train.

It means that Mason's speed is

x + 15

Distance covered by Mason would be

2.4(x + 15) = 2.4x + 36

Since the distance from Portland to Seattle is the same, then

3x = 2.4x + 36

3x - 2.4x = 36

0.6x = 36 x = 36/0.6 = 60 mph

Mason's speed would be 60 + 15 = 75 mph

Answer:

  34 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

First, consider the value if they were all dimes. That would be 61×$0.10 = $6.10. Next, realize this is more than the actual amount by 1.70. Of course, replacing one of the 61 dimes by a nickel reduces the total amount by $.05, so we must have ...

  $1.70/$0.05 = 34

nickels in the mix.

Abby has 34 nickels.

_____

Alternate solution methods

I like to solve these using number sense, as above. Equivalently, an equation can be written using n to represent the number of nickels. The total value is then ...

  .05n + .10(61 -n) = 4.40

  -.05n +6.10 = 4.40 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  -.05n = -1.70 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6.10

  n = -1.70/-.05 = 34

Hopefully, you notice some similarities between this solution and the one in words, above.

Often, you will see this sort of problem formulated using two equations.

  n + d = 61 . . . . . . . . . . number of coins (d=#of dimes)

  .05n +.10d = 4.40 . . . .value of coins

If we solve this by substitution, we can use d=61-n, and get ...

  .05n +.10(61-n) = 4.40 . . . . . . looks like our equation in the previous section

By creating two equations for the total value of coins and the total number of coins Abby has, we can solve for both the number of dimes and nickels she holds. After doing the required calculations, we find that Abby has 34 nickels.

The subject of this question is algebra and it involves solving a system of equations. This is a classic problem that can be solved using two equations because we have two unknowns: the number of dimes and the number of nickels.

Answer:

1. Ernest has $82.5 and Gene has $117.5

2. c) 125x + 1500 = $20000

Step-by-step explanation:

If we mark Gene's half dollars with x, then it is given that Ernest has 8 more, which is x+8.

It is also given that Ernest has no quarters, but Gene has them as many as Ernest has half dollars, which is x+8.

And it is given that they both have 45 dimes each, which is $4.5 each.

Now, let's add up all these numbers:

Ernest: (x+8)•0.5 + 0•0.25 + 4.5 = 0.5x + 8.5

Gene: x•0.5 + (x+8)•0.25 + 4.5 = 0.75x + 6.5

They collected $200 together which means:

0.5x + 8.5 + 0.75x + 6.5 = $200

1.25x + 15 = $200

If we want to avoid decimal number, we can multiply whole equation with 100:

125x + 1500 = $20000

so, the correct answer is C.

Finally, to find x:

125x = 18500

x = 148

Ernest had 0.5x + 8.5 which is $82.5

Gene had 0.75x + 6.5 which is $117.5

Answer:

(-138) is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perfect square numbers between 15 and 25 inclusive are 16 and 25.

Sum of perfect square numbers 16 and 25 = 16 + 25 = 41

Sum of the remaining numbers between 15 and 25 inclusive means sum of the numbers from 17 to 24 plus 15.

Since sum of an arithmetic progression is defined by the expression

[tex]S_{n}=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d][/tex]

Where n = number of terms

a = first term of the sequence

d = common difference

[tex]S_{8}=\frac{8}{2} [2\times 17+(8-1)\times 1][/tex]

   = 4(34 + 7)

   = 164

Sum of 15 + [tex]S_{8}[/tex] = 15 + 164 = 179

Now the difference between 41 and sum of perfect squares between 15 and 25 inclusive = [tex]41-179[/tex]

= -138

Therefore, answer is (-138).

The sum of the perfect squares (16 and 25) between 15 and 25 is 41. The sum of all the other numbers between 15 and 25 is 179. So, when we subtract 179 from 41, we get -138.

To find the answer, we first need to identify which numbers between 15 and 25, inclusive, are perfect squares. A perfect square is a number which can be expressed as the product of an integer with itself. In this range, 16 and 25 are the perfect squares.

The sum of these perfect squares is 16 + 25 = 41.

Next, we need to find the sum of all the other numbers between 15 and 25, inclusive, that are not perfect squares. These numbers are 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24. Adding these numbers together gives a sum of 179.

Now subtract this second sum from the first to get the answer: 41 - 179 = -138

Step-by-step explanation:

Let call x side of the square to be cut from cornes, then:

First side of rectangular base

L = 14 - 2*x

And the other side

d = 8 -2*x

Then Volume of the box

V(b) = L*d*x

V(x) =  ( 14- 2*x ) * ( 8 -2*x)*x

V(x) = ( 112 -  28*x  -16*x + 4*x² )*x    ⇒  4*x³ - 44*x² + 112*x

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get:

V´(x) = 12*x² - 88*x +112

V´(x) = 0       ⇒     12*x² - 88*x +112 = 0

Final answer:

The statement is true; the centroid of a triangle is the point that lies 2/3 of the way from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. The centroid is the same point for all three vertices, which can be shown using vector operations that equate to (A+B+C)/3 for a triangle with vertices A, B, and C.

Explanation:

The statement that points lying 2/3 of the way from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side for any triangle in ℝ² (the real number plane) are all the same point, and this point is called the centroid of the triangle, is True. To prove this, consider a triangle ABC with vertices A, B, and C. If M is the midpoint of side BC, N is the midpoint of side AC, and O is the midpoint of side AB, then the points two-thirds of the way from the vertices A, B, and C to the midpoints of the opposite sides, respectively, can be represented by the vectors (2M+A)/3, (2N+B)/3, and (2O+C)/3.

Applying the midpoint formula and vector addition, we find that these points are equivalent to (B+C)/3, (A+C)/3, and (A+B)/3 respectively, which, when simplified, all yield to (A+B+C)/3, illustrating that the points coincide and thus prove the existence of a single centroid.

In a geometric context, the centroid is the point where the triangle’s medians intersect, and it also serves as the triangle's center of mass. The centroid divides each median in a 2:1 ratio, with the larger portion being closer to the vertex. This property is intrinsic to triangles and can be demonstrated using vector algebra or geometric arguments.

The equation representing the problem is [tex]x=\frac{24\times 6}{32}[/tex].

Mr. Patel used 5 bags of seeds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of times bird feeder refilled =24

Number of cups of seeds used each time = 6 cups

Number of seeds each bag holds = 32 cups.

We need to write the equation to represent the problem.

Solution.

Let the total number of bag of seed be 'x'.

First we will find the Total number of cups of seeds used.

Now we can say that;

Total number of cups of seeds used can be calculated by multiplying Number of times bird feeder refilled by Number of cups of seeds used each time.

framing in equation form we get;

Total number of cups of seeds used = [tex]24\times6 \ cups[/tex]

Now We know that;

1 bag holds = 32 cups

Total number of bags required = [tex]24\times6 \ cups[/tex]

So we can say that;

Total number of bags required is equal to Total number of cups of seeds used divided by number of seed hold by each bag.

framing in equation form we get;

[tex]x=\frac{24\times 6}{32}[/tex]

Hence the equation representing the problem is [tex]x=\frac{24\times 6}{32}[/tex].

On solving we get;

[tex]x=4.5[/tex]

Since bags cannot be bought in half or in decimal value.

Hence we can say Mr. Patel used 5 bags of seeds.

The desired function is y = 2·sin((π/7)x).

Answer:

Itself is a Reflexive Pronoun.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reflexive pronouns are words that end with prefixes "self or selves".When the object and the subject in the sentence are same then reflexive pronoun is  used. That is  It is to denote that the subject is doing something by or to itself .These reflexive pronoun can act either as a direct object or indirect object . It is preceded by the adverb, adjective, pronoun, or noun  to which it refers to. They  also allow us to point back to, or reflect on, the subject of the sentence with clarity. The nine English reflexive pronouns are

To find the point of intersection between the given exponential function and the horizontal line, substitute the y-value (115) into the equation and solve for x.

To find the point of intersection between the exponential function y=(1-25)^x-2/5 and the horizontal line y=115, we can substitute the given y-value (115) into the equation and solve for x. By substituting y=115 into y=(1-25)^x-2/5, we can rewrite the equation as 115=(1-25)^x-2/5. This allows us to solve for x and find the x-coordinate of the point of intersection.

To find the intersection point, substitute the y-coordinate (115) into the exponential function and solve for x using ln(1-25).

To find the intersection point between the exponential function and the horizontal line, we substitute the y-coordinate of the intersection point (which is 115) into the given exponential function. We then solve for x.

Substituting y = 115 into the exponential function, we have (1-25)^(x-2/5) = 115. Taking the natural logarithm of both sides, we get (x-2/5)ln(1-25) = ln(115). Solving for x, we divide both sides by ln(1-25) and add 2/5 to get x = ln(115)/ln(1-25) + 2/5.

Therefore, the intersection point is (x, 115), where x = ln(115)/ln(1-25) + 2/5.

Answer: his speed when skateboarding is 6 mph and when walking is 3 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent Marlon's walking speed.

Marlins speed on his skateboard is 2 times his walking speed. This means that his skating speed would be 2x.

At 1:30 Marlon left his house to go to the beach a distance of 6.75 mi. He rode his skateboard until 2:15. This means that the total time he spent skating is 45 minutes = 45/60 = 0.75 hours

Distance = speed × time

Distance covered while skating would be

2x × 0.75 = 1.5x

He walked the rest of the way. He arrived at the beach at 3:00. This means that the time that he spent walking is 45 minutes = 0.75 hours.

Distance covered while walking would be

x × 0.75 = 0.75x

Total distance covered is 6.75 miles. Therefore

1.5x + 0.75x = 6.75

2.25x = 6.75

x = 6.75/2.25

x = 3 miles per hour

His skating speed = 2 × 3 = 6 miles per hour.
