Jean, Stellah and Dee start a company. They agree to share any profits/loss made by the company in the same ratio as their capital contributions to the start-up capital of the company. If Jean, Stellah and Dee’s respective contributions to the start-up capital are R225 000,00, R150 000,00, and R75 000,00, and Dee’s share of the profit in the company’s first year of operation is R40 000,00, what was the total profit made by the company that year?

if the probability of observing 4 or fewer years with 5 hurricanes is much lower (e.g., less than 5%), then we might conclude that the Poisson distribution does not work well for this particular scenario.

a. The probability of observing 5 hurricanes in a year can be calculated using the Poisson distribution formula:

[tex]P(X=5) = (e^(-λ) * λ^5) / 5![/tex]

where λ is the mean number of hurricanes per year. In this case [tex], λ = 7.7[/tex] . Thus,

[tex]P(X=5) = (e^(-7.7) * 7.7^5) / 5! = 0.0834[/tex]   (rounded to four decimal places)

Therefore, the probability of observing 5 hurricanes in a year is approximately  [tex]0.0834[/tex] or   [tex]8.34[/tex] %.

b. The number of hurricanes in a 45-year period follows a Poisson distribution with mean [tex]λ = 7.7 \times 45 = 346.5[/tex] . The expected number of years with 5 hurricanes in a 45-year period is then:

[tex]E(X) = λ = 346.5[/tex]

Therefore, we expect about [tex]346.5/45 ≈ 7.7[/tex] % or 8 years out of 45 to have 5 hurricanes.

c. If in a recent period of 45 years, only 4 years had 5 hurricanes, we can compare this to the expected number of years with 5 hurricanes based on the Poisson distribution. Using the same mean λ = 346.5, we can calculate the probability of observing 4 or fewer years with 5 hurricanes in a 45-year period:

[tex]P(X ≤ 4) = Σ(i=0 to 4) [(e^(-λ) * λ^i) / i!] ≈ 0.2088[/tex]

This means that there is about a 20.88% chance of observing 4 or fewer years with 5 hurricanes in a 45-year period, based on the Poisson distribution with [tex]λ = 346.5[/tex]  .

Therefore,  This is not a very low probability, so the observed 4 years with 5 hurricanes in the recent [tex]45[/tex]  -year period is not necessarily inconsistent with the Poisson distribution.

The numbers which replaces the capital letters are A is -1, B is 1, C is 3, D is 0, E is 5 and F is -2.

A logarithm is a mathematical function that measures the relationship between two quantities, by expressing one quantity in terms of another. More specifically, a logarithm is the power to which a base must be raised to produce a given number.

a) [tex]2^(A) * 2^(B) = 2^0[/tex] can be rewritten as [tex]2^(A+B) = 2^0[/tex].

To find the values of A and B, we need to solve the equation [tex]2^(A+B) = 2^0\\[/tex].

Since [tex]2^0[/tex] = 1, we have [tex]2^(A+B)[/tex] = 1, which means A + B = 0. One possible solution is A = -1 and B = 1, since (-1) + 1 = 0.

Therefore, the equation becomes [tex]2^(-1) * 2^1 = 2^0[/tex], which is true.

(A) = -1

(B) = 1

b) [tex](2^3)/(2^(C)) = 2^(D)[/tex] can be simplified as [tex]2^(3-C) = 2^(D)[/tex].

To find the values of C and D, we need to set the exponents equal to each other. So, we have 3 - C = D, which means C = 3 - D.

One possible solution is C = 3 and D = 0, since 3 - 0 = 3.

Therefore, the equation becomes [tex](2^3)/(2^3) = 2^0[/tex], which is true.

(C) = 3

(D) = 0

c) [tex]2^(-3) * (E)^(-3) = 10^(F)[/tex] can be rewritten as [tex](1/2^3) * (1/E^3) = 10^F[/tex]. Multiplying both sides by [tex]2^3 * E^3[/tex], we get [tex]1 = 10^F * 2^3 * E^3[/tex].

Taking the logarithm of both sides, we get log(1) = [tex]log(10^F * 2^3 * E^3)[/tex]. Since log(1) = 0, we have 0 = F log(10) + 3log(2) + 3log(E), which simplifies to F = -2 - 3log(E)/log(10) with one possible solution of E = 5 and F = -2. Therefore, the equation becomes [tex]2^(-3) * 5^(-3) = 10^(-2)[/tex], which is true.

(E) = 5

(F) = -2

Step-by-step explanation: So, if the area of a square is 121 sq. in, the sides that could be multiplied to get 121 are 11 x 11. Then, you multiply by four to get the perimeter.

As a result, the expression can be expressed in the following standard form: -32 sin(102) + 32i cos = 32i (cos(102) + I sin(102)) (102).

In mathematics, programming, or other subjects, an expression is typically a grouping of numbers, symbols, and operators that denotes a value or computation. When used to indicate a mathematical relationship or formula, an expression in mathematics can be made up of a number of different variables, operators, and digits. For instance, the statement 3x + 2y denotes a linear equation. A combination of variables, constants, operators, and functions can make up an expression in programming, which can then be evaluated to create a value. For instance, the expression 5 + 3 evaluates to 8 as an expression.

given

First, we can use De Moivre's theorem to simplify the expression:

(cis(22.5+67.5)) = (cis(22.5+67.5)) = cis(22.5+90) = I

We then have:

Cos(12) + I sin(12) = 32cis (12)

When we multiply these two outcomes, we obtain:

32i cis(90+12) = 32i cis(i * 32cis(12)) = 32i cis102

Thus, the phrase can be worded as follows:

(cis22.5) (5cis67.5) (5cis67.5) 32(cos (12) + I sin (12)) = 32i cis (102).

Using Euler's formula, cis102 can be written as follows:

102 + I sin + cos(102) = cis102 (102)

As a result, the expression can be expressed in the following standard form: -32 sin(102) + 32i cos = 32i (cos(102) + I sin(102)) (102)

The final response is thus: Z = 32i cos + 32sin(102) (102)

The answer of the given question based on function is  g(t) = 1.7 * 0.8^t models exponential decay.

Exponential decay is a type of mathematical function that represents a process in which the value of a quantity decreases over time or through a series of events at a constant proportional rate. In exponential decay, the rate of decrease is proportional to the current value of the quantity.

Exponential decay is often modeled by the following equation:

y = a * e^(-kt)

The function g(t) = 1.7 * 0.8^t models exponential decay.

In this function, the base of the exponent is 0.8, which is a number between 0 and 1. When a base of an exponential function is between 0 and 1, it represents exponential decay. This means that as the value of t increases, the value of g(t) decreases at an increasingly rapid rate.

Additionally, the coefficient of the exponent (1.7 in this case) represents the initial value of the function. Since the coefficient is positive, the initial value is also positive. Therefore, the function represents exponential decay from a positive initial value.

The area of the archway is (π + 24) square meters, as the total area of the two rectangular pillars is 24 square meters, area of semicircle is (9π) / 2 square meters.

Radius is a term used in geometry to refer to the distance from the center of a circle or sphere to its edge. It is usually represented by the symbol "r". In a circle, all points on the edge, also called the circumference, are at the same distance from the center. This distance is equal to the radius. The radius is half the length of the diameter, which is the distance across the circle passing through its center.

To determine the area of the archway, we need to calculate the area of the two rectangular pillars and the semicircle top arch, and then add them together.

The area of each rectangular pillar is:

Area of each pillar = length x width

= 4 meters x 3 meters

= 12 square meters

So the total area of the two rectangular pillars is:

Total area of pillars = 2 x 12 square meters

= 24 square meters

Now we need to calculate the area of the semicircle top arch. The radius of the semicircle is half of the distance between the two pillars, which is:

Radius of semicircle = (6 meters / 2) = 3 meters

The area of the semicircle is:

Area of semicircle = (π x r²) / 2

= (π x 3²) / 2

= (9π) / 2 square meters

We also need to subtract the area of the rectangle sections at the top of each pillar from the semicircle to get the area of the archway. Each of these rectangles has a length of 3 meters and a height of the difference between the radius of the semicircle and the height of the pillars, which is:

Height of rectangle = (3 meters - 4 meters) = -1 meter

Since we can't have a negative height, we take the absolute value of this difference:

|Height of rectangle| = 1 meter

The area of each rectangle is:

Area of each rectangle = length x width

= 3 meters x 1 meter

= 3 square meters

So the total area of the two rectangles is:

Total area of rectangles = 2 x 3 square meters

= 6 square meters

Therefore, the area of the archway is:

Area of archway = Area of pillars + Area of semicircle - Area of rectangles

= 24 square meters + (9π) / 2 square meters - 6 square meters

= (π + 24) square meters

Hence, the area of the archway is (π + 24) square meters.

Let u = tan⁻¹x, then du/dx = 1/(1+x²).

Using the formula for the derivative of inverse tangent, we have:

tan(u) = x

sec²(u) du/dx = 1

du/dx = cos²(u)

Substituting into the original expression, we get:

∫(tan⁻¹x × e^tan⁻¹x)/(1+x²) dx = ∫(tan⁻¹x × e^u × cos²(u)) du

Using integration by parts with u = tan⁻¹x and dv = e^u × cos²(u) du, we get:

v = (1/2) e^u (sin(u) + u cos(u))

∫(tan⁻¹x × e^u × cos²(u)) du = (1/2) e^u (sin(u) + u cos(u)) tan⁻¹x - ∫[(sin(u) + u cos(u)) / (1+x²)] dx

Substituting back u = tan⁻¹x, we get:

∫(tan⁻¹x × e^tan⁻¹x × cos²(tan⁻¹x)) dx = (1/2) e^tan⁻¹x (x sin(tan⁻¹x) + cos(tan⁻¹x)) tan⁻¹x - ∫[(x cos(tan⁻¹x) + sin(tan⁻¹x)) / (1+x²)] dx

Using the identity sin(tan⁻¹x) = x / √(1+x²) and cos(tan⁻¹x) = 1 / √(1+x²), we simplify the expression to:

∫(tan⁻¹x × e^tan⁻¹x × cos²(tan⁻¹x)) dx = (1/2) x e^tan⁻¹x + (1/2) ∫[e^tan⁻¹x / (1+x²)] dx

The remaining integral can be solved using another substitution with v = tan⁻¹x, which results in:

∫(tan⁻¹x × e^tan⁻¹x × cos²(tan⁻¹x)) dx = (1/2) x e^tan⁻¹x + (1/2) ln(1+x²) + C, where C is the constant of integration

Answer:

Yes, (x - 4) is a factor of polynomial function P(x) = x⁵ + 4x⁴ - 17x³ - 60x².

Step-by-step explanation:

The Factor Theorem states that if f(x) is a polynomial, and f(a) = 0, then (x - a) is a factor of f(x).

Therefore, according to the Factor Theorem, if (x - 4) is a factor of P(x) then P(4) = 0.

To determine if (x - 4) is a factor of P(x), substitute x = 4 into the function and solve.

[tex]\begin{aligned}x=4 \implies P(4)&=(4)^5+4(4)^4-17(4)^3-60(4)^2\\&=1024+4(256)-17(64)-60(16)\\&=1024+1024-1088-960\\&=2048-1088-960\\&=960-960\\&=0\end{aligned}[/tex]

What is the fraction?

A fraction is a number that represents a part of a whole or a ratio between two quantities. It is written with a numerator (the top number) and a denominator (the bottom number) separated by a horizontal line. The numerator represents the number of parts being considered, while the denominator represents the total number of parts that make up a whole unit.

First, let's factor in the denominator of the given function:

x² - 2x - 15 = (x - 5)(x + 3)

Now we can use partial fraction decomposition to express the given function as the sum of simpler fractions:

f(x) = (x⁴ + 2x³ - 29x² - 47x + 77) / (x² - 2x - 15)

= (x⁴ + 2x³ - 29x² - 47x + 77) / ((x - 5)(x + 3))

= (Px² + Qx + R) + V/(x + 3) + W/(x - 5)

where P, Q, and R are constants to be determined, and V and W are constants to be determined as well.

To find the values of P, Q, and R, we can use polynomial long division to divide the numerator by the denominator:

        x² + 5x - 2

x² - 2x - 15 | x⁴ + 2x³ - 29x² - 47x + 77

- (x⁴ - 2x³ - 15x²)

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

4x³ - 14x² - 47x

- (4x³ - 8x² - 60x)

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

-6x² + 47x

- (-6x² + 12x + 90)

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

35x - 90

Therefore,

f(x) = (x⁴ + 2x³ - 29x² - 47x + 77) / (x² - 2x - 15)

= x² + 5x - 2 - (6x² - 35x + 90) / ((x - 5)(x + 3))

= -5/2 + (13/2)x + (3/2)x² + V/(x + 3) + W/(x - 5)

Comparing this to the given form, we can see that:

P = 3/2

Q = 13/2

R = -5/2

V = -6

W = 15

Therefore, we have:

f(x) = (3/2)*x² + (13/2)*x - 5/2 - 6/(x + 3) + 15/(x - 5)

The price that maximizes revenue is $10 per ticket, which will bring in $1,500,000 in revenue. 60,000 people will attend at that price.

Price is the amount of money that is required to purchase or obtain a good or service. It is a numerical value that is assigned to a particular product or service and is used to indicate its value in the market. The price of a product or service is determined by a variety of factors, including the cost of production, supply and demand, competition, and market conditions.

In the given question,

To maximize revenue, we need to find the price per ticket that will bring in the greatest total revenue. Let's start by figuring out how many people will attend at various price points:

At $20 per ticket, 40,000 people attend.

At $15 per ticket, 50,000 people attend.

At $10 per ticket, 60,000 people attend.

At $5 per ticket, 70,000 people attend.

Now we can calculate the total revenue at each price point:

At $20 per ticket, revenue is 40,000 × $20 + 40,000 × $5 = $1,000,000.

At $15 per ticket, revenue is 50,000 × $15 + 50,000 × $5 = $1,250,000.

At $10 per ticket, revenue is 60,000 × $10 + 60,000 × $5 = $1,500,000.

At $5 per ticket, revenue is 70,000 × $5 + 70,000 × $5 = $700,000.

From these calculations, we can see that the price that maximizes revenue is $10 per ticket, which will bring in $1,500,000 in revenue. 60,000 people will attend at that price.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]P+Q-R=(2x^2+3xy-5y^2)+(-5x^2+2xy+3y^2)-(-3x^2+5xy-2y^2)[/tex]

                  [tex]=2x^2+3xy-5y^2-5x^2+2xy+3y^2+3x^2-5xy+2y^2[/tex]

                  [tex]=2x^2-5x^2+3x^2-5y^2+3y^2+2y^2+3xy+2xy-5xy[/tex]

                  [tex]=0[/tex]

Answer:

To show that P + Q - R = 0, we need to substitute the expressions for P, Q, and R into the equation and simplify.

P + Q - R = (2x² + 3xy - 5y²) + (-5x² + 2xy + 3y²) - (-3x² + 5xy - 2y²)

Simplifying the brackets on the right-hand side:

P + Q - R = 2x² + 3xy - 5y² - 5x² + 2xy + 3y² + 3x² - 5xy + 2y²

Grouping like terms together:

P + Q - R = (2x² - 5x² + 3x²) + (3xy + 2xy - 5xy) + (-5y² + 3y² + 2y²)

Simplifying the expressions in the brackets:

P + Q - R = 0x² + 0xy + 0y²

Therefore, P + Q - R = 0.
