A trader sold an article for N150 and
made a profit of 20%. What was the
cost price of the article?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

125

Step-by-step explanation:

N150=120%

? =100

150×100/120

=125

Answer 2

The cost price of the good is $125.

What is cost price?

Cost price is the total amount of money that it costs a manufacturer to produce a given product or provide a given service.

Given that a good has been sold for $150 which made a profit of 20% we need to find the cost price of the good,

Let the cost price be x,

So,

x × 120% = 150

x = 150 × 100 / 120

x = 125

Hence the cost price of the good is $125.

What is the mean score of all of these students together? Round to one decimal place.

mean of the scores of all the students

Answers

Answer: 89.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of a data set is the average of all the information given. Therefore, the total combined score is the number of students multiplied by the mean

The total score of the first 44 students: 96.6*44 = 4250.4

The total score of the later 13 students: 66.3*13 = 861.9

(4250.4 + 861.9)/(44 + 13) = 89.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformations of Graphs (functions) is the process by which a function is moved or resized to produce a variation of the original (parent) function.

Transformations

For a > 0

[tex]f(x+a) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:a\:\textsf{units left}[/tex]

[tex]y=a\:f(x) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{stretched parallel to the y-axis (vertically) by a factor of}\:a[/tex]

[tex]y=f(ax) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{stretched parallel to the x-axis (horizontally) by a factor of} \: \dfrac{1}{a}[/tex]

[tex]y=-f(x) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{reflected in the} \: x \textsf{-axis}[/tex]

[tex]y=f(-x) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{reflected in the} \: y \textsf{-axis}[/tex]

Identify the transformations that take the parent function to the given function.

Question 7

[tex]\textsf{Parent function}: \quad f(x)=x^3[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{Given function}: \quad f(x)=x^3-5[/tex]

Comparing the parent function with the given function, we can see that 5 has been subtracted from the parent function.

Therefore, the transformation is:

[tex]f(x)-5 \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:5\:\textsf{units down}[/tex]

Question 8

[tex]\textsf{Parent function}: \quad f(x)=x^3[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{Given function}: \quad f(x)=-x^3[/tex]

Comparing the parent function with the given function, we can see that the parent function has been multiplied by -1.

Therefore, the transformation is:

[tex]y=-f(x) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{reflected in the} \: x \textsf{-axis}[/tex]

Question 9

[tex]\textsf{Parent function}: \quad f(x)=x^3[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{Given function}: \quad f(x)=5x^3[/tex]

Comparing the parent function with the given function, we can see that the parent function has been multiplied by 5.

Therefore, the transformation is:

Answer:

7. Down 5

8. Horizontal Reflection.

9. Vertical Stretch by a factor of 5.

Explanation:

Parent function: f(x) = x^3

7. f(x)= x^3 - 5

Comparing it with f(x) - d which gives function shifted d units down.

Here the function has shifted 5 units down.

8. f(x)= -x^3

Comparing with -f(x) gives reflection over x-axis (horizontal reflection).

Here the function f(x) = (-1x^3) has been reflected horizontally.

9. f(x)= 5x^3​

Comparing with a(f(x)) gives vertical stretch when |a| > 1 or compression when 0 < |a| < 1 by a factor of a.

Here the function f(x) = 5x^3​ has been vertically stretched by a factor of 5.

Find the absolute extreme of the function on the closed interval. y=9e^xsinx , [0,pi]

Answers

For convenience sake, I will let [tex]y=f(x)=9e^{x}\sin x[/tex]

First, we evaluate the function at the endpoints of the interval.

[tex]f(0)=9e^{0}\sin(0)=0\\\\f(\pi)=9e^{\pi}\sin(\pi)=0[/tex]

Then, we need to find the critical points.

We can start by taking the derivative using the power rule.

[tex]f'(x)=9e^{x} \frac{d}{dx} \sin x+9\sin x \frac{d}{dx} e^{x}=9e^{x}(\cos x+\sin x)[/tex]

Setting this equal to 0,

[tex]9e^x (\cos x+\sin x)=0[/tex]

Since [tex]9e^x > 0[/tex], we can divide both sides by [tex]9e^x[/tex].

[tex]\cos x+\sin x=0\\\\\sin x=-\cos x\\\\\tan x=-1\\\\x=\frac{3\pi}{4}[/tex]

[tex]f\left(\frac{3\pi}{4} \right)=9e^{3\pi/4}\sin \left(\frac{3\pi}{4} \right)=\frac{9\sqrt{2}e^{3\pi/4}}{2}[/tex]

So, the absolute minimum is [tex]\boxed{\left(\frac{3\pi}{4}, \frac{9\sqrt{2}e^{3\pi/4}}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}[/tex] and the absolute minima are [tex]\boxed{(0,0), (\pi, 0)}[/tex]

The difference between the rate of change of B and the rate of change of A is 15.

How to get the difference in the rates of change?

First, we need to get the two rates of change.

We have two linear functions.

A: y = 35*x

For function A the rate of change is the slope, wich is 35.

Function B is graphed.

Remember that if a line passes through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂,y₂) then the slope is:

[tex]a = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

In the graph, we can see that line B passes through (0, 0) and (1, 50), then the slope is:

They are producing 1,000 units per week and they are receiving 700 order per week. How long will it take to fill the warehouse to maximum capacity at the current production rate?​

Answers

Answer:

m = 300w OR w = m/300

Step-by-step explanation:

They start with 10k, but that's immediately sold, so they're back at a flat 0. Every week they gain 1000 but lose 700 for a net profit of positive 300.

Therefore, the maximum capacity would be 300 multiplied by the number of weeks. If we know the maximum, then the answer would be m (maximum) divided by 300.

But, we first find out how many times can 1 fit into 100.

No. of times 1 fit into 100 = 100 / 1 = 100 times

Now we know 1 is 10 times of 0.1, so we multiply the above by 10,
