Charlotte works in a calling center making appointments for a local lawn care service. She earns $40 each full workday plus an additional $2 for each appointment that she schedules. Today, Charlotte needs to earn at least $75. Write an inequality to describe this situation. In two or more complete sentences, describe the solution set of this inequality and what it means for Charlotte.

Answers

Answer 1

x = number of appointments

y = total amount earned in dollars

The total earnings equation is y = 2x+40

The 2x is from her earning $2 per appointment. If she makes x of them, then she earns 2x dollars. This is on top of the $40 from working the full day.

She wants to earn at least $75. This means she wants to earn $75 or more.

This means,

[tex]y \ge 75\\\\2x+40 \ge 75\\\\2x \ge 75-40\\\\2x \ge 35\\\\x \ge \frac{35}{2}\\\\x \ge 17.5[/tex]

Since x is the number of appointments, and we can't have a fractional number of appointments, we must round up to x = 18. This is the lowest number of appointments she can do and earn $75 or larger.

If x = 17, then

y = 2x+40 = 2*17+40 = 34+40 = 74

which is not 75 or larger

But if x = 18, then

y = 2x+40 = 2*18+40 = 36+40 = 76

which is larger than 75, so we've cleared the hurdle.

We can say the solution set is [tex]x \ge 18[/tex] where x is a whole number. So she could book x = 18, x = 19, x = 20, x = 21, etc as the number of appointments to reach her goal.

In summary, she must schedule at least 18 appointments to earn $75 or more.

Answer 2

Since she makes $2 for every appointment she makes we would need to use 40+2n so she would get $2 per appointment no matter how many appointments she makes. Also, we wouldn't use an equal sign because they didn't say she needed to earn exactly $75. They said she needed to earn "at least" $75. At least means equal to or greater than ≥. So the inequality would be 2n+40≥75. PRO TIP: Any time it asks you to write an inequality you will use either <, >, ≤, or ≥ not an =.An equation uses =, an inequality uses the other symbols

Hello!!!!! Could someone please explain to me in a simple manner what the slope intercept form is as well as what the point slope form is? Are they the same thing? What does form mean? Thank you soooo much in advance!!!

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

They're both ways of expressing the equation of a line. Depending on the information you're given, it's easier to use one or the other. Like if you're given the slope and y intercept, it might be easier to use slope intercept equation. If you're given 2 points on a line, it might be easier to calculate the slope between them and then use the pointslope equation using one of the two points given to find the euqation of the line.

explain how you got it.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The longer leg of this triangle is √3 times longer than the shorter leg. Since the longer leg is 5√3, then the shorter leg will be 5. The hypotenuse is twice the size of the shorter leg, so 5*2 is 10.

The values are missing in the question. They are : 16.3,12.8,13,32.2,28.1,34.4,46.4,53,15.4,18.2

Step-by-step explanation:

16.3,12.8,13,32.2,28.1,34.4,46.4,53,15.4,18.2

We calculate sample mean and std deviation from given data.

Sample Mean,    =269.8/10=26.98

Sample Variance,     =1859.496/9=206.610667

Sample std dev,s==√206.610667≈14.373958

We want to test two tailed hypothesis:

: σ=12

: σ≠12

Given: s=14.373958⇒  =206.610667,n=10

Significance level, a=0.1 Degrees of freedom, df=n-1=9

Since this is two tailed test, we need area of α=0.1 on either side of critical value. This means area of 0.05 on right of positive critical value.

Critical values are given by   with 9 degrees of freedom.

We can use chi-square table or following excel commands:

CHISQ. INV(0.95,9)=3.32511284307

CHISQ. INV (0.05,9)=16.9189776046

Critical Values, =3.325  and =16.919

Since this is two tailed test, the decision rule or rejection criteria is:

Reject null hypothesis if test statistic is less than or equal to left critical value OR more than or equal to right critical value, i.e,

Reject    if ≤3.325  OR ≥16.919

Test statistic is given by  =((9)*206.610667)/144=12.913167    

Test statistic, =12.913

since test statistic is between two critical values, we (do not reject ) (i.e, we fail to reject .

Conclusion: There is (not sufficient) evidence to conclude that standard deviation is not equal to 12 .

Alternatively, we can use p-value approach. The decision rule or rejection criteria is: reject null hypothesis if p-value is less than or equal to significance level (α), i.e, reject  if p-value ≤0.1

P-value is twice the (smaller) tail area of test statistic because this is two tailed test. We can use excel function to find this. 2*M IN (CHISQ.DIST (12.913167,9,  TRUE ) 1-CHISQ.DIST 12.913167,9,  TRUE ) =0.333149809868

P-value =0.3331

since p-value is greater than significance level (α),we (do not reject ) (i.e, we fail to reject ).

Conclusion: There is (not sufficient) evidence to conclude that standard deviation is different from 12 .

write an inequality to represent the product of x and 7 is at least 15

Answers

Answer:

[tex]7x\geq 15[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem lays out pretty clearly what needs to be done.

First, we know that we are writing an inequality.

Then, it tells us that we need 'the product of x and 7'. A product is the result of multiplication, so we can multiply 7 and x together to get 7x.

Next, it tells us that the product (7x) is at least 15. At least means that the product has to greater than or equal to 15. That clue tells us which inequality symbol will be used.  

Put it all together and:

[tex]7x\geq 15[/tex]

Answer:

1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The only way to get 3 as an answer to (6-m) is if m were to equal 3. Think about how many numbers can you replace m with to make the statement true. For example, try putting 1 as your m and see if it works. 6-1=3 -> 5=3. as you can see, this statement isnt true. The only solution that would work to make this statement true is one number, 3.

Select the sequences that are geometric.
18, 36, 54, 72,...
4.1, 8.2, 16.4, 32.8,...

Answers

answer:

Both sequences are geometric

Step-by-step explanation:

because both have common differences of 2 times

Answer:

4.1, 8.2, 16.4, 32.8,... is a geometric sequence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the first sequence

18, 36, 54, 72,...

we know that the geometric sequence is the sequence that has the same common ratio 'r' (constant ratio).

Computing the ratios of all the adjacent terms:

[tex]\frac{36}{18}=2,\:\quad \frac{54}{36}=1.5,\:\quad \frac{72}{54}=1.33333\dots[/tex]

As the ratio is not constant.

Hence, 18, 36, 54, 72,... is NOT the geometric sequence.

Given the second sequence

4.1, 8.2, 16.4, 32.8,...

we know that the geometric sequence is the sequence that has the same common ratio 'r' (constant ratio).

Computing the ratios of all the adjacent terms:

[tex]\frac{8.2}{4.1}=2,\:\quad \frac{16.4}{8.2}=2,\:\quad \frac{32.8}{16.4}=2[/tex]

As the ratio of all the adjacent terms is the same (constant ratio).

Hence, 4.1, 8.2, 16.4, 32.8,... is a geometric sequence.

Therefore, 4.1, 8.2, 16.4, 32.8,... is a geometric sequence.
