A consumer is considering two different purchasing options for the car of their choice. The first option, which is leasing, is described by the equation 250x - y + 4000 = 0 where x represents the number of months of ownership and y represents the total paid for the car after ‘x' months. The second option, which is the financing option, will cost $400 for 0 months of ownership, (0,400), and $4400 for 10 months of ownership, (10, 4400). Part A: Find the equations, in slope/y-intercept form, for each of the purchasing options. Explain the significance of the slope and y-intercept for each purchasing option. Part B: Graph each equation on the same set of axes and compare. Under what conditions is each purchasing option the best choice? Be sure to provide a thorough answer. Use detailed information from your graph to back up your choices.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A:

First option leasing:

[tex]y = 250x + 4000[/tex]

Second option financing:

[tex]y = 400x + 400[/tex]

The slope of the second option is greater than the first option meaning that monthly payments are greater for the second option as compared to the first option.

The y-intercept of the first option is greater than the second option meaning that the initial payment of the first option is much greater than the second option.

Part B:

As you can see in the graph, the second option is better when x is less than 24 months and the first option is better when x is greater than 24 months.

The second option has less initial payment but greater monthly payment that is why it is better for the short term (for less number of months)

On the other hand, the first option has a greater initial payment but less monthly payment that is why it is better for the long term (for greater number of months)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

First option leasing:

The standard slope-intercept form is given by

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

Convert the given equation into slope-intercept form.

[tex]250x - y + 4000 = 0 \\\\y = 250x + 4000[/tex]

where x represents the number of months of ownership and y represents the total paid for the car after ‘x' months and 250 is the slope that indicates the rate of change of y with respect to x.

Second option financing:

We are given two points,

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (0,400)[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (10,4400)[/tex]

The slope m is given by

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

[tex]$ m = \frac{4400 - 400}{10 - 0} $[/tex]

[tex]m = 400[/tex]

To find the value of the y-intercept (b),

substitute [tex](x_1,y_1) = (0,400)[/tex]

 [tex]y = 400x + b \\\\400 = 400(0) + b \\\\b = 400[/tex]

So the equation of the second option is

[tex]y = 400x + 400[/tex]

Comparison:

The slope of the second option is greater than the first option meaning that monthly payments are greater for the second option as compared to the first option.

The y-intercept of the first option is greater than the second option meaning that the initial payment of the first option is much greater than the second option.

Part B:

Refer to the attached graph,

The point of intersection is obtained when we equate both equations,

[tex]250x + 4000 = 400x + 400 \\\\4000 - 400 = 400x - 250x \\\\3600 = 150x \\\\x = 3600/150 \\\\x = 24[/tex]

x = 24 months is the break-even point meaning that at this point both options are equally good.

As you can see in the graph, the second option is better when x is less than 24 months and the first option is better when x is greater than 24 months.

The second option has less initial payment but greater monthly payment that is why it is better for the short term (for less number of months)

On the other hand, the first option has a greater initial payment but less monthly payment that is why it is better for the long term (for greater number of months)

Answers

Answer:

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the least amount of paper needed to wrap the entire cylinder. Therefore, we simply need to find the surface area of the cylinder.

Recall the formula for the surface area of a cylinder:

[tex]SA=2\pi r^2+2\pi rh[/tex]

We know the diameter is eight inches, so the radius is four inches. We also know the height is 12. Using 3.14 for π, substitute:

[tex]SA=2(3.14)(4)^2+2(3.14)(4)(12)[/tex]

[tex]SA\approx 401.92\text{ in}^2[/tex]

24 athletes threw the shot put at a track and field meet. If this was 15/100 of all the athletes in the meet, how many athletes competed in the meet total?

Answers

Answer:

160 athletes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of athletes in the meet be x

Given that 24 athletes who  threw the shot put at a track and field meet are 15/100 of all the  athletes in the meet .

If we write this in mathematical algebraic expression

15/100 of all the  athletes in the meet = 24

15/100 * x = 24

=> x = 24*100/15 = 24*100/3*5 = 160

Thus, 160 athletes competed in the meet.

Trevor drew lines of best fit for two scatter plots, as shown. Which statement describes the placement of the lines Trevor drew?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Best fit line :A line through a scatter plot of data points that best expresses the relationship between those points is called best fit line

The least-squares method provides the closest relationship between the dependent and independent variables by minimizing the distance between the residuals and the line of best fit

By considering both the given graphs

We can see that Line A gives the minimum distance between residuals and line of best fit whereas Line B does not give the minimum distance between residuals and line of best fit

So,Option A is true

A)Only Line A is well placed line of best fit

Answers

Answer:

The probability that the sample mean is greater than 2.1 but less than 2.6 is 0.2236.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X follows a discrete uniform distribution.

The probability mass function of X is:

[tex]f(x)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{3}};\ x=1,2,3 \atop {0;\ \text{otherwise}}} \right.[/tex]

Then,

a = 1

b = 3

The mean and standard deviation of the random variable X are:

[tex]\mu=\frac{b+a}{2}=\frac{3+1}{2}=2\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{(b-a+1)^{2}-1}{12}}=\sqrt{\frac{(3-1+1)^{2}-1}{12}}=0.8165[/tex]

The sample size is, n = 39.

According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have an unknown population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and appropriately huge random samples (n > 30) are selected from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample mean will be approximately normally distributed.  

Then, the mean of the sample means is given by,

[tex]\mu_{\bar x}=\mu[/tex]

And the standard deviation of the sample means is given by,

[tex]\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

As n = 39 > 30, the sampling distribution of sample mean of X will follow a Normal distribution approximately.

Compute the probability that the sample mean is greater than 2.1 but less than 2.6 as follows:

[tex]P(2.1<\bar X<2.6)=P(\frac{2.1-2.0}{0.8165/\sqrt{39}}<\frac{\bar X-\mu_{\bar x}}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}<\frac{2.6-2.0}{0.8165/\sqrt{39}})[/tex]

                          [tex]=P(0.76<Z<4.59)\\\\=P(Z<4.59)-P(Z<0.76)\\\\=1-0.77637\\\\=0.22363\\\\\approx 0.2236[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the sample mean is greater than 2.1 but less than 2.6 is 0.2236.

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to the line
y-4=‐2/3(x-6) and passes through the point (-2, -2)?
y=-x-10
y=-2x19
y=x-1
y=x+1​

Answers

Answer:

y=3/2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

y-4= -⅔(x-6)

y-4=-⅔x+4

y=-⅔x+4+4

(equation of line 1) y= -⅔x+8 gradient= -⅔

(line 2)gradient=3/2

note* the gradients of perpendicular lines multiplied result to -1

gradient=y²-y²

x²-x¹

3 =y+2

2. x+2

multiply both sides by 2(x+2)to remove the denominators

3(x+2)=2(y+2)

3x+6=2y+4

3x+6-4=2y

3x+2=2y

divide all sides by 2

3/2x+1=y

Find the vertex of the function given below y=x^2-2x+1

Answers

Hey there! :)

Answer:

(1, 0).

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert from standard form to vertex form by completing the square:

y = x² - 2x + 1

Move 1 to the other side:

-1 = x² - 2x

Complete the square. Remember to add to both sides:

-1 + (1) = x² -2x + 1

Simplify:

0 = (x - 1)²

The function in vertex form is:

y = (x - 1)²

Therefore, the vertex is:

Raise -2 to the double of b and divide the result by the quadruple of a. A=-4 and B =+3.

Answers

Answer: - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that A = - 4, B = 3

According to the instruction :

Raise -2 to the double of b and divide the result by the quadruple of a. A=-4 and B =+3

Raise - 2 to the double of b ;

Result = (-2)^(2*3) = (-2)^6 = 64

Divide result by quadruple of a

a = - 4 ;

Quadruple of 'a' means 4 times as many as 'a' = '4 * a' quadruple of a = (-4) * 4 = - 16

= (-2)^6 / -16

64 / - 16

64 / - 16 = - 4

Answers

Answer:

y - 8 = - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex](x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] x + 8 ← is in slope- intercept form with slope m = - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] and (a, b) = (- 3, 8), thus

y - 8 = - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] (x - (- 3)), that is

where

I = Initial amount

R = Rate of growth,

And T = Time.

So in the given case, the rate is 0.07, or 7% while on the other hand the growth RATE remains constant and the growing amount would be increased each year.

Therefore the rate of change would be the same for all the year

Cone W has a radius of 8 cm and a height of 5 cm. Square pyramid X has the same base area and height as cone W. Paul and Manuel disagree on how the volumes of cone W and square pyramid X are related. Examine their arguments. Which statement explains whose argument is correct and why?

Answers

This question is incomplete because it lacks the appropriate attachment containing the argument of Paul and Manuel

Kindly find attached the appropriate attachment necessary to solve this question.

The attachment was sourced online

Answer:

a) Paul's argument is correct, Manuel used the wrong formula to find the volume of square pyramid X

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we are given two shapes: Cone W and Square Pyramid

Cone W: Radius = 8cm, Height = 5cm

Volume of a Cone = 1/3 πr²h

Where π = 3.14

Volume of Cone X = 1/3 × 3.14 × 8² × 5

= 334.93cm³

For Square pyramid X

Volume = 1/3 × Base Area × Height

Base Area of Cone W = Base Area of square pyramid X = πr²

Where π = 3.14

Base area = 3.14 × 8² = 200.96cm²

Height of Square pyramid X = Height of Cone W = 5cm

Volume of Square pyramid = 1/3 ×200.96cm² × 5cm

= 334.93cm³

Therefore, from my above calculation and compared with the arguments of Paul and Manuel, Option a) "Paul's argument is correct, Manuel used the wrong formula to find the volume of square pyramid X" is the correct option.

The reason why is because the correct formula for the volume of a square pyramid = 1/3 × Base area × Height

This was the formula Paul used.

Manuel on the other hand used the formula: Base Area × Height to find the volume of cone W. This formula is wrong.

Option a, is the correct answer.

Answer: A. Paul's argument is correct; Manuel used the incorrect formula to find the volume of square pyramid X.
