By selling a book for Rs.400 a student got two successive profits of 12% and 40% respectively. Then his total profit is
a.62%
b.50%
c.55%
d.56.8%​

Answers

Answer 1

The total profit made by the student is 56.8%

The correct answer is D

Given parameters:

final price in which he book was sold = Rs.400

the first profit made by the student = 12% = 0.12

the final profit made by the student = 40% = 0.4

To find:

the total profit of the student

To find the total profit made by the student, we have to find the initial cost price of the book.

The cost price of the book before the student made the profit of 40%.

Let this cost price = y

100%y + 40%y = 400

140%y = 400

1.4y = 400

[tex]y = \frac{400}{1.4} \\\\y = 285.71[/tex]

This cost price become the new selling price before the student made the profit of 12%.

The cost price of the book before the student made the profit of 12%.

Let this cost price = x

100%x + 12%x = 285.71

112%x = 285.71

1.12x = 285.71

[tex]x = \frac{285.71}{1.12} \\\\x = 255.1[/tex]

This is the initial cost price of the book

The total profit made by the student is calculated as;

[tex]Profit \ \%= \frac{selling \ price - cost \ price }{cost \ price} \times 100\%\\\\Profit \ \%=(\frac{400 - 255.1}{255.1} )\times 100\%\\\\Profit \ \%= 56.8\%[/tex]

Thus, the total profit made by the student is 56.8%

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 11% of children in the United States lived with at least one grandparent in 2009 (USA TODAY, June 30, 2011). Suppose that in a recent sample of 1640 children, 225 were found to be living with at least one grandparent. At a 2% significance level, can you conclude that the proportion of all children in the United States who currently live with at least one grandparent is higher than 11%? Use both the p-value and the critical-value approaches.

Round your answers for the observed value of z and the critival value of z to two decimal places, and the p-value to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is  

There is no sufficient evidence to show that  the proportion of all children in the United States who currently live with at least one grandparent is higher than 11%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The population proportion is [tex]p = 0.11[/tex]

   The sample size is  n =  1640

   The number found to be living with at least one grandparent is [tex]k = 225[/tex]

   The level of significance is  [tex]\alpha = 0.02[/tex]

   The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : p = 0.11[/tex]

   The alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a : p > 0.11[/tex]

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as

     [tex]\^ p = \frac{ k }{n}[/tex]

=>  [tex]\^ p = \frac{ 225 }{1640 }[/tex]

=>  [tex]\^ p = 0.1372[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

     [tex]z= \frac{\^ p - p }{ \sqrt{\frac{p(1- p)}{n} } }[/tex]

=>[tex]z = \frac{ 0.1372 - 0.11 }{ \sqrt{\frac{0.11(1- 0.11)}{1640} } }[/tex]

=>[tex]z = 0.0077[/tex]

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to  0.0077  is  

    [tex]p-value = P(Z > 0.0077) = 0.4969[/tex]

From the value obtained we see that [tex]p-value > \alpha[/tex] hence

The decision rule is  

Reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is  

 There is no sufficient evidence to show that  the proportion of all children in the United States who currently live with at least one grandparent is higher than 11%

f(x) = 3x2 – In x (1,3)

The answer is 5x-y-2=0 but I don’t know how to get to it.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the tangent line is equal to the derivative.

f(x) = 3x² − ln x

f'(x) = 6x − 1/x

f'(1) = 6(1) − 1/1

f'(1) = 5

Use point-slope form:

y − 3 = 5 (x − 1)

Simplify:

y − 3 = 5x − 5

0 = 5x − y − 2

Which expressions correctly show "the sum of the product of 3 and 8 and the product of 12 and 2"? Select two that are correct. *

3 + 8 + 12 + 2
(12 × 2) + (3 × 8)
3 × 8 × 12 × 2
(3 + 8) × (12 + 2)
(3 × 8) + (12 × 2)

Answers

Answer:

The two correct expressions are:

(12 × 2) + (3 × 8)(3 × 8) + (12 × 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'a' and 'b' be the two numbers.

When we say the product of 'a' and 'b', it

algebraically means: a × b

Let 'c' and 'd' be the two numbers.

When we say the product of 'c' and 'd', it

algebraically means: c × d

And when we say the sum of the product of 'a' and 'b' and the product of 'c' and 'd', it algebraically means:

(a × b) + (c × d)

or

(c × d) + (a × b)

as

(a × b) + (c × d) = (c × d) + (a × b)

So when we say "the sum of the product of 3 and 8 and the product of 12 and 2".

It algebraically means:

(12 × 2) + (3 × 8)

or

(3 × 8) + (12 × 2)

as

(12 × 2) + (3 × 8) = 24 + 24      ∵ 12 × 2 = 24, 3 × 8 = 24

                           = 48

(3 × 8) + (12 × 2) = 24 + 24      ∵  3 × 8 = 24, 12 × 2 = 24,

                          = 48

Therefore, the two correct expressions are:

(12 × 2) + (3 × 8)(3 × 8) + (12 × 2)

Answer:

∑ₙ₌₀°° 8 (-1)ⁿ x⁴ⁿ⁺¹ / (9ⁿ (2n)!)

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the Maclaurin series for cos x.

cos x = ∑ₙ₌₀°° (-1)ⁿ x²ⁿ / (2n)!

Substitute ⅓ x².

cos (⅓ x²) = ∑ₙ₌₀°° (-1)ⁿ (⅓ x²)²ⁿ / (2n)!

cos (⅓ x²) = ∑ₙ₌₀°° (-1)ⁿ (⅓)²ⁿ x⁴ⁿ / (2n)!

cos (⅓ x²) = ∑ₙ₌₀°° (-1)ⁿ x⁴ⁿ / (9ⁿ (2n)!)

Multiply by 8x.

8x cos (⅓ x²) = ∑ₙ₌₀°° 8x (-1)ⁿ x⁴ⁿ / (9ⁿ (2n)!)

8x cos (⅓ x²) = ∑ₙ₌₀°° 8 (-1)ⁿ x⁴ⁿ⁺¹ / (9ⁿ (2n)!)

-3x+2y=9
First you have to find the slope which you would do by labeling your coordinates So -5 is X1 and 3 is X2 and -3 is Y1 and -3 and Y2 is -6. This will help with finding the slope of you equation. So the set up would be Y2-Y1/X2-X1 so the equation would be -6- -3/ 3-5 which would give you 3/2. Then you take one of the coordinate points and your slope in a slope intecpet equation. So -3=3/2(-5)+b then solve. Which would be 9/2 then put you slope and b into a slope intercept equation so y= 3/2x+9/2 then to get it into Standard form you need to move your ex to the other side of the equation so -3/2x+y=9/2 in this equation can be simplified by multiplying two to each side so (2)3/2x+y=9/2(2) which would equal to 3x+2y=9
