Company X tried selling widgets at various prices to see how much profit they would
make. The following table shows the widget selling price, x, and the total profit
earned at that price, y. Write a quadratic regression equation for this set of data,
rounding all coefficients to the nearest tenth. Using this equation, find the profit, to
the nearest dollar, for a selling price of 14.25 dollars.

Company X Tried Selling Widgets At Various Prices To See How Much Profit They Wouldmake. The Following

Answers

Answer 1

Regression equations are used to represent the relationship between the x and y variables.

The quadratic regression equation is [tex]\mathbf{y =-6.407 X^2 +216.721 X -975.561}[/tex]The profit for a selling price of $14.25 is $812

To determine the quadratic regression equation, we make use of a graphic calculator

Using a graphing calculator, we have the quadratic regression equation to be [tex]\mathbf{y =-6.407 X^2 +216.721 X -975.561}[/tex]

When the selling price is $14.25, it means that:

[tex]\mathbf{x = 14.25}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{y =-6.407 \times 14.25^2 +216.721 \times 14.25 -975.561}[/tex]

Evaluate the exponents

[tex]\mathbf{y =-6.407 \times 203.0625+216.721 \times 14.25 -975.561}[/tex]

Evaluate the products

[tex]\mathbf{y =-1301.0214375+3088.27425 -975.561}[/tex]

Evaluate like terms

[tex]\mathbf{y =811.6918125}[/tex]

Approximate to the nearest dollar

[tex]\mathbf{y =812}[/tex]

Hence, the profit for a selling price of $14.25 is $812

The square of the sum of two numbers is 144 and the sum of their squares is 80. Find the numbers.(Use completing the square method)
Please help me

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + y)^2 = 144

x^2 + y^2 = 80

----

x + y = 12 ---> y = 12 - x

x^2 + y^2 = 80

x^2 + (12-x)^2 = 80

2x^2 - 24x + 64 = 0

x^2 - 12x + 32 = 0

x = 4, x = 8

y = 8, y = 4

============================

x + y = -12 ---> y = -12 - x

x^2 + y^2 = 80

x^2 + (-12-x)^2 = 80

2x^2 + 24x + 64 = 0

x^2 + 12x + 32 = 0

x = -4, x = -8

y = -8, y = -4

-------------

One number is + or -4, the other is + or -8,

and the absolute value of the sum is 12.

Answer:

(4,8);(8,4);(-4,-8);(-8,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, let's start writing down the two conditions:

[tex]\left \{ {(x+y)^2 = 144} \atop {x^2+y^2=80}} \right.[/tex]

Mumble.  The second almost look like a square, if only there was the [tex]2xy[/tex] term. Let's add (and subtract, so we aren't creating something new) term to the second:

[tex](x+y)^2-2xy = 80[/tex] But we know what the first term is, it's 144. Let's replace and do some number tricks to get:[tex]144-2xy=80 \rightarrow 72-xy=40\\72-40=xy \rightarrow xy=32[/tex]

At this point, let' stare at it for a while. You can tell that the system is simmetrical (if you replace x with y you still get a solution). Moreover, x and y have the same sign: it means that if (a,b) is a solution, then also (b,a), (-a,-b) and (-b, -a) are solutions, and since it's a 4th degree system (the degree of a system is the product of the degrees of the single equations, and they're both quadratic) there are no other solution.

Let's find one pair then. We're tasked to find two numbers that sum to [tex]\sqrt{144} = 12[/tex] and whose product is 32. that is, the root of the polynomial

[tex]z^2+12z+32= (z+4)(z+8)[/tex] (or if you can't see the factors right away, bruteforce it with quadratic formula, it's always good practice). That tells us that one of the two is -4, and the other is -8. From what we said above, the solutions are by combining them with plus or minus.

[tex](4,8);(8,4);(-4,-8);(-8,-4)[/tex]

Write the equation of the line passes through the point (10, 2) and is perpendicular to the line: y=-5x+7

Please show work

Answers

Answer:

Perpendicular line: y = ⅕x + 0 or y = ⅕x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the point, (10, 2), and the linear equation, y = -5x + 7:

In order to find the equation of the perpendicular line that passes through (10, 2), we must first determine the definition of perpendicular lines.

Definition:

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes ⇒ this means that when you take and multiply the slopes of both lines, it results in a product of -1.

In other words, since the slope of the given line, y = -5x + 7 is m = -5, then it means that the slope of the other line must be m₂ = ⅕ because:

                    m₁ × m₂  = -1

                     -5 ×  ⅕  = -1

Solution:

Now that we have the slope of the other line, m₂ = ⅕, and the given point, (10, 2), substitute these values into the slope-intercept form to solve for the y-intercept, b :

y = mx + b

2 = ⅕(10) + b

2 = 2 + b

Subtract 2 from both sides:

2 -2 = 2 -2 + b

0 = b

Hence, the y-intercept is b = 0.

Equation:

The linear equation of the perpendicular line that passes through point (10, 2) is: y = ⅕x + 0 or   y = ⅕x

Without graphing, find the slope of the line that goes through (2,-1) and (6,1)

One person can mow a lawn in 30 minutes. A second person requires 45 minutes to mow that lawn. How long will it take the two people, working together, to mow the lawn?

Answers

Answer:  16 1/4 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the mowing rate for the first person, and B the rate for the second. X will be the time spent mowing.

We are told that A = 30 min/lawn.  B = 45 min/lawn.  These are conversion factors, so we can invert them to:

A =  1 lawn/30 min.  B = 1 lawn/45 min

If both work together, the amount of lawn that is mowed working togehterwould be the time, X (in minutes), spent times their individual rates:

X*(A + B) = Lawn Mowed

We want to know the time, X, it would take to mow the same 1 lawn together.  [Lawn Mowed = 1].  Use the equation:

X*(A + B) = Lawn Mowed

X*((1 lawn/30 min) + (1 lawn/45 min)) = 1

X/(30 min) + X/(45 min) = 1

X/30 + X/45= 1

X + X(30/35) = 30  {Multiply both sides by 30]

(1 + 30/35)X = 30

(65/35)X = 30

X = 30*(35/65)

X = 30/(7/13)

X = 30*(7/13)

X = 210/13

X =  16 1/4 minutes
