Step-by-step explanation:

Original job = x men * 40 days = 40x man days  to complete

  now add 8 men     =    x+8  men

                                           man days now is   (x+8) (30)  to complete job

so     40x = (x+8)(30)

        40x = 30x + 240

          10 x = 240

              x = 24 men originally

Answer:

Let's assume the original price of the stock was x.

When the company announced it overestimated demand, the stock price fell by 40%.

So, the new price of the stock after the first decline was:

x - 0.4x = 0.6x

A few weeks later, when the seats were recalled, the stock price fell again by 60% from the new lower price of 0.6x.

So, the new price of the stock after the second decline was:

0.6x - 0.6(0.6x) = 0.24x

Given that the current stock price is $2.40, we can set up the equation:

0.24x = 2.40

Solving for x, we get:

x = 10

Therefore, the stock was originally selling for $10.

Answer:

x = 37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

the top triangle has 2 congruent sides and is therefore isosceles with base angles being congruent, then

base angles = (180 - 75) ÷ 2 = 105 ÷ 2 = 52.5

the angle on the left of the outer triangle is right , then

x + 52.5 = 90 ( subtract 52.5 from both sides )

x = 37.5

this is just a quick addition to the superb reply above by "jimrgrant1"

Check the picture below.

According to the given information, the missing side measure is 14.

What is triangle?

A triangle is a polygon with three sides, three angles, and three vertices. It is the simplest polygon and the fundamental shape used in geometry. A triangle can be classified based on the length of its sides and the measure of its angles.

To find the missing side measure, we can set up a proportion between the corresponding sides of the two similar triangles:

(x + 5) / x = 9.5 / 7

We can then solve for x by cross-multiplying:

7(x + 5) = 9.5x

7x + 35 = 9.5x

35 = 2.5x

x = 14

Therefore, the missing side measure is 14.

Therefore, the slope of the line that passes through (-2, 8) and (4, 6) is -1/3.

What is the slope?

In mathematics, the slope is a measure of the steepness of a line.

The solution provided involves three steps to find the slope of the line that passes through two points: (-2, 8) and (4, 6).

Step 1 involves finding the change in y-coordinates, which is the difference between the y-coordinate of the second point and the y-coordinate of the first point. In this case, the second point has a y-coordinate of 6 and the first point has a y-coordinate of 8.

Therefore, the change in y-coordinates is 6 - 8 = -2.

Step 2 involves finding the change in x-coordinates, which is the difference between the x-coordinate of the second point and the x-coordinate of the first point. In this case, the second point has an x-coordinate of 4 and the first point has an x-coordinate of -2.

Therefore, the change in x-coordinates is 4 - (-2) = 6.

Step 3 involves dividing the change in y-coordinates by the change in x-coordinates to find the slope of the line. In this case, the change in y-coordinates is -2 and the change in x-coordinates is 6, so the slope is -2/6 or -1/3.

Since all the steps are correct and properly executed, there is no error.

Therefore, the slope of the line that passes through (-2, 8) and (4, 6) is -1/3.

Answer:

The value of the derivative at (2, 3) is zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

[tex]g(x)=x+\dfrac{4}{x^2}[/tex]

To differentiate the given function, use the power rule of differentiation.

[tex]\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5.4 cm}\underline{Power Rule of Differentiation}\\\\If $y=x^n$, then $\dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x}=nx^{n-1}$\\\end{minipage}}[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{Rewrite\;the\;function\;using\;the\;exponent\;rule\;\;$a^{-n}=\dfrac{1}{a^n}$}:[/tex]

[tex]\implies g(x)=x+4x^{-2}[/tex]

Apply the power rule:

[tex]\implies g'(x)=1+(-2) \cdot 4x^{-2-1}[/tex]

[tex]\implies g'(x)=1-8x^{-3}[/tex]

[tex]\implies g'(x)=1-\dfrac{8}{x^3}[/tex]

An extremum is a point where a function has a maximum or minimum value. From inspection of the given graph, the minimum point of the function is (2, 3).

To determine the value of the derivative at the minimum point, substitute x = 2 into the differentiated function.

[tex]\begin{aligned}\implies g'(2)&=1-\dfrac{8}{2^3}\\\\&=1-\dfrac{8}{8}\\\\&=1-1\\\\&=0\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the value of the derivative at (2, 3) is zero.

(a) The function x as a function of t is t = 250ln(499x/998)

(b) Half the population will have heard the rumor approximately 109.86 units of time after it was started.

(a) To solve the differential equation dt/dx = kx(N−x), we can separate the variables and integrate

dt/dx = kx(N−x)

dt/(N-x) = kx dx

Integrating both sides, we get

t = -1/k × ln(N-x) - 1/k × ln(x) + C

where C is the constant of integration.

To find C, we can use the initial condition that two people start the rumor at t=0, so x=2:

0 = -1/k * ln(N-2) - 1/k * ln(2) + C

C = 1/k * ln(N-2) + 1/k * ln(2)

Substituting C back into the equation, we get:

t = -1/k * ln(N-x) - 1/k * ln(x) + 1/k * ln(N-2) + 1/k * ln(2)

Simplifying, we get

t = 1/k * [ln((N-2)x/(2(N-x)))]

Substituting k=1/250 and N=1000, we get:

t = 250ln(499x/998)

(b) We want to find the time t when half the population has heard the rumor, so x = N/2 = 500. Substituting this into the equation we obtained in part (a), we get

t = 250ln(499(500)/998) = 250ln(249/499)

t ≈ 109.86

Therefore, half the population will have heard the rumor approximately 109.86 units of time after it was started.

Using the properties of  absolute value function, proved that |x - y| > |x| - |y| is true for all x and y.

To prove that |x - y| > |x| - |y|, we can consider two cases

Case 1

x >= 0 and y >= 0

In this case, |x - y| = x - y and |x| - |y| = x - y. So we have

|x - y| = x - y

| x | - | y | = x - y

Substituting these expressions into the original inequality, we get:

x - y > x - y

This inequality is true for all x and y where x >= 0 and y >= 0, since the difference between x and y is always greater than or equal to zero.

Case 2

x < 0 and y < 0

In this case, |x - y| = -(x - y) and |x| - |y| = -x + y. So we have:

|x - y| = -(x - y)

| x | - | y | = -x + y

Substituting these expressions into the original inequality, we get

-(x - y) > -x + y

Simplifying both sides, we get

y - x > -x + y

Adding x to both sides, we get

y > 0

This inequality is true for all x and y where x < 0 and y < 0, since both x and y are negative and the difference between x and y is always less than or equal to zero.

Answer:

The formula to calculate the amount of loan with flat rate interest is:

Amount = Principal + (Principal x Rate x Time)

Where,

Principal = the amount of loan

Rate = the interest rate per year

Time = the time period in years

Given,

Principal = K40,000.00

Rate = 9% per year

Time = 2.5 years

Substituting the values in the formula, we get:

Amount = K40,000.00 + (K40,000.00 x 0.09 x 2.5)

Amount = K40,000.00 + K9,000.00

Amount = K49,000.00

Therefore, the amount he will pay the bank is K49,000.00.

The value of function f(0) after putting the value of x = 0 we get the value o which is not DNE.

A relation between a collection of inputs and outputs is known as a function. A function is, to put it simply, a connection between inputs in which each input is connected to precisely one output. Each function has a range, codomain, and domain. The usual way to refer to a function is as f(x), where x is the input. A function is often represented as y = f. (x).

Solving a system of equations we the length and width of the playground is length = 9 yards, width = 12 yards

Remember that the area of a rectangle of length L and width W is:

Area = L*W

Here we know that the area is 108 square yards, and we know that he width is 3 yards longer than the length, then we can write a system of equations:

W =L + 3

108 = L*W

Replacing the first equation into the second one we will get:

108 = (L + 3)*L

108 = L² + 3L

Then we have the quadratic equation:

L² + 3L - 108 = 0

Using the quadratic formula we get the solutions:

[tex]L = \frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{3^2 - 4*1*-18} }{2}[/tex]

We only care for the positive solution, which is:

To find the largest integer[tex]n $ such that $3^n$ is a factor of $1 \times 3 \times 5 \times \dots \times 97 \times 99$[/tex], we need to count how many factors of 3 are in the product of the odd integers from 1 to 99.

One way to do this is to factor each odd integer into its prime factors and count how many factors of 3 are present. However, this would be quite tedious and time-consuming.

A quicker approach is to use the fact that every third odd integer is a multiple of 3. Thus, we can count how many multiples of 3 are present in the product of the odd integers from 1 to 99.

Let [tex]$m$[/tex] be the number of multiples of 3 in the range from 1 to 99. Then we have:

[tex]m = \left\lfloor \frac{99}{3} \right\rfloor = 33[/tex]

This is because there are 33 multiples of 3 in the range from 1 to 99 (namely, 3, 6, 9, ..., 96, 99).

Each multiple of 3 contributes at least one factor of 3 to the product of the odd integers. However, some multiples of 3 contribute two or more factors of 3, depending on how many factors of 3 they contain.

To count how many multiples of 3 contribute two or more factors of 3, we need to count how many multiples of 9, 27, and 81 are present in the range from 1 to 99.

There are [tex]$\left\lfloor \frac{99}{9} \right\rfloor = 11$[/tex]multiples of 9, namely 9, 18, 27, ..., 81, 90, 99. Each multiple of 9 contributes at least two factors of 3 to the product of the odd integers.

There are [tex]$\left\lfloor \frac{99}{27} \right\rfloor = 3$[/tex] multiples of 27, namely 27, 54, 81. Each multiple of 27 contributes at least three factors of 3 to the product of the odd integers.

There is only one multiple of 81 in the range from 1 to 99, namely 81, which contributes at least four factors of 3 to the product of the odd integers.

Thus, the total number of factors of 3 in the product of the odd integers from 1 to 99 is:

[tex]n = m + 2\times\text{number of multiples of 9} + 3\times\text{number of multiples of 27} + 4\times\text{number of multiples of 81}[/tex]

[tex]n = 33 + 2\times 11 + 3\times 3 + 4\times 1 = 62[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]the $ largest integer $n$ such that $3^n$ is a factor of $1 \times 3 \times 5 \times \dots \times 97 \times 99$ is $\boxed{62}$.[/tex]

The value of the quadratic equation in the standard form is y = -x² -6x + 2.

y = ax² + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants and an is not equal to 0, is a quadratic equation in standard form. A parabolic function's vertex, axis of symmetry, and intercepts with the x- and y-axes are all expressed by the quadratic equation in standard form. While the positions of the vertex and intercepts are determined by the factors b and c, the direction and form of the parabola are determined by the coefficient a. Every quadratic equation may be changed into standard form by applying the quadratic formula or the square method, which simplifies the analysis and comparison of various functions.

The standard form of the quadratic equation is given by:

y = ax² + bx + c

Substituting the values of x and y from the table we have:

For (-4, 10):

10 = a(-4)² + b(-4) + c

10 = 16a - 4b + c......(1)

For (-3, 11):

11 = a(-3)² + b(-3) + c

11 = 9a -3b + c......(2)

For (-2, 10):

10 = 4a - 2b + c .........(3)

Equation 1 can be written as follows:

10 = 16a - 4b + c

c = 10 - 16a + 4b

Substitute the value of c in equation 2 and 3:

11 = 9a -3b + c

11 = 9a - 3b + 10 - 16a + 4b

1 = - 7a + b .........(4)

And,

10 = 4a - 2b + c

10 = 4a - 2b + 10 - 16a + 4b

0 = -12a + 2b

12a = 2b

b = 6a .......(5)

Substitute the value of b in equation 4:

1 = - 7a + 6a

1 = -a

a = -1

Substitute the value of a in equation 5:

b = -6

Now, substitute the value of a and b in equation 1:

10 = 16a - 4b + c

10 = 16(-1) - 4(-6) + c

10 = -16 + 24 + c

10 = 8 + c

c = 2

Substituting the value in the quadratic equation we have:

y = -x² -6x + 2

Hence, the value of the quadratic equation in the standard form is y = -x² -6x + 2.

AD^2 = 5^2 - 1.71^2 = 22.0759

AD = 4.70

BD = AB - AD = 6 - 4.70 = 1.30

for △BCD, BC is hypotenuse

BC^2 = BD^2 + CD^2 = 1.30^2 + 1.71^2 = 4.61

BC = √4.61 = 2.1

Answer: 2s²(39 - 74s - 280s)(s - 2)(s + 7/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor the polynomial 78s - 148s³ - 560s² completely, we can first factor out a common factor of 2s²:

2s²(39 - 74s - 280s)

Then, we can factor the quadratic expression inside the parentheses using the quadratic formula:

s = [-(-74) ± √((-74)² - 4(39)(-280))] / 2(39)

s = [74 ± √(54724)] / 78

s = [74 ± 2√13681] / 78

s = [74 ± 2×117] / 78

Therefore, the roots of the quadratic expression are:

s = 2 or s = -7/2

Substituting these values back into the factored expression, we get:

2s²(39 - 74s - 280s) = 2s²(39 - 74(2) - 280(2)) = -1240s²

2s²(39 - 74s - 280s) = 2s²(39 - 74(-7/2) - 280(-7/2)) = 2450s²

So the completely factored form of the polynomial is:

2s²(39 - 74s - 280s)(s - 2)(s + 7/2)

Answer: In the table x part, it increases from -2 all the way to 4. In the table y part, it decreases from 17 to -1, but then increases back from -1 to 17.

The point of intersection of the two lines is (-3.4, -1.2).

Step 1: The slope of a line passing through two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) can be found using the formula:

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Using this formula, we can find the slope of the first line:

m1 = (−2−3)/(-5 -5) = −5/(-10) = 1/2

And the slope of the second line:

m2 = (−4−4)/(2 -(-6)) = -8/4 = -2

Step 2: Find the y-intercept of each line

The y-intercept of a line in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) is the value of y when x=0. We can use one of the two given points on each line to find the y-intercept:

For the first line passing through points (5,3) and (−5,−2):

y = mx + b

3 = (1/2)(5) + b

b = 3 - 5/2

b = 1/2

So the first line can be written as y = 1/2x + 1/2

For the second line passing through points (−6,4) and (2,−4):

y = mx + b

4 = (-2)(−6) + b

b = 4 - 12

b = -8

So the second line can be written as y = -2x - 8

Step 3: Each line in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):

First line: y = 1/2x + 1/2

Second line: y = -2x - 8

Step 4: To find the point of intersection of the two lines, we need to solve the system of equations. We can solve for x by setting the two right-hand sides equal to each other:

1/2x + 1/2 = -2x - 8

(x + 1)/2 = -2x - 8

x + 1 = -4x - 16

5x = -16 - 1

5x = -17

x = -17/5

x = -3.4

Now that we know x, we can find y by substituting x=10 into one of the two equations:

y = -2x - 8

y = -2(-3.4) - 8

y = - 1.2

Thus, the point of intersection of the two lines is (-3.4, -1.2).
