For the function f(x) = 7/2x-16, what is the difference quotient for all nonzero values of h?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h} = \frac{7}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]f(x) = \frac{7}{2}x - 16[/tex]

Required

The difference quotient for h

The difference quotient is calculated as:

[tex]\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h}[/tex]

Calculate f(x + h)

[tex]f(x) = \frac{7}{2}x - 16[/tex]

[tex]f(x+h) = \frac{7}{2}(x+h) - 16[/tex]

[tex]f(x+h) = \frac{7}{2}x+ \frac{7}{2}h- 16[/tex]

The numerator of [tex]\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h}[/tex] is:

[tex]f(x + h) - f(x) = \frac{7}{2}x+ \frac{7}{2}h- 16 -(\frac{7}{2}x - 16)[/tex]

[tex]f(x + h) - f(x) = \frac{7}{2}x+ \frac{7}{2}h- 16 -\frac{7}{2}x + 16[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]f(x + h) - f(x) = \frac{7}{2}x -\frac{7}{2}x + \frac{7}{2}h- 16 + 16[/tex]

[tex]f(x + h) - f(x) = \frac{7}{2}h[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h} = \frac{7}{2}h \div h[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h} = \frac{7}{2}h * \frac{1}{h}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h} = \frac{7}{2}[/tex]

Kelly Slater and Andy Irons are in a surf competition among 10 competitors.
If all surfers are at an equal surfing level, then what is the probability that Kelly will place 1st and Andy will place
2nd? Write your answer as a simplified fraction.

Answers

Answer:

The probability that Kelly will place 1st and Andy will place 2nd is 1/90, or 1.11%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Kelly Slater and Andy Irons are in a surf competition among 10 competitors, to determine, if all surfers are at an equal surfing level, then what is the probability that Kelly will place 1st and Andy will place 2nd, the following calculation must be performed:

1/10 x 1/9 = X

0.1 x 0.11 = X

0.01111 = X

1/90 = 0.011111 = X

Therefore, the probability that Kelly will place 1st and Andy will place 2nd is 1/90, or 1.11%.

The number of new customers n that visit a dry cleaning shop in one year is directly related to the
amount a in dollars) spent on advertising. This relationship is represented by n3 = 13,824a. To
attract 480 new customers, how much should the owners spend on advertising during the year?

Answers

Answer:

$15,264 cost amount on new advertising.

Shown as new equation that includes (original + new customer base)

n3=15264a

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find original amount of customers as 3 represents a multiple of n

n3=13824a

n3 means n x 3 then customer base is one third

= 1/3 x 13,824  = 4608 original customers per year

= 4608 original customers +480 new customers

4608 + 480 = 5088 total orig+initial  customers

5088 x 3 = 15264 cost

= ($)15,264 cost

Answers

Answer:

Volume of regular pentagonal prism = 1.72 cm³ (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Side of regular pentagonal prism = 1 cm

Height of regular pentagonal prism = 1 cm

Find:

Volume of regular pentagonal prism

Computtaion:

Volume of regular pentagonal prism = (1/4)[√5(5+2√5)]a²h

Volume of regular pentagonal prism = (1/4)[√5(5+2√5)](1)²(1)

Volume of regular pentagonal prism = (1/4)[√5(5+2√5)]

Volume of regular pentagonal prism = (0.25)[√5{5+4.472}]

Volume of regular pentagonal prism = (0.25)[√5{9.472}]

Thanks Harlan for helping me understand this problem

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of the whole prism - smaller inner prism

Bigger Prism (apothem = 4, height = 6)

360/5 = 72   72/2 = 36

4 · tan (36) = 2.906

2.906 · 4 = 11.6247

11.6247 · 5 = 58.1234  ← The area of the Pentagon

58 · 6 = 348.740 ← The Bigger Prism Volume

Smaller Prism (apothem = 3, height = 4)

Keep in mind that the bottom, sides, and top of the box is one centemeters thick ⇒ smaller pentagon ⇒ (apothem = 4-1, height = 6 - 2)

3 · tan (36) = 2.1796

2.1796 · 3 = 6.5389

6.5389 · 5 = 32.6944  ← small Pentagon Area

32.6944 · 4 = 130.7777  ← Small Pentagon Prism Volume

Final Step

Area of big prism - small prism

348.74041 - 130.7777 = 217.9627

Round to the nearest tenth ⇒ 218.0

I'm going to refer to the two separate triangles in this problem by their missing angles. So the smaller triangle is triangle 1, and the larger triangle is triangle 2.

Let's work on triangle 1 first.

We can easily find the supplementary angle to the 115 degree angle in the middle there, which is in triangle 1.

180 - 115 = 65

Now that we know two of the angles in the triangle, and we know that the sum of the interior angles in a triangle is 180, we can find our missing angle 1.

80 + 65 + <1 = 180

145 + <1 = 180

<1 = 35 degrees

Now let's go ahead and move on to triangle 2.

We can again find the supplementary angle to the 115 degree angle in the middle there, which is in triangle 2 also.

180 - 115 = 65

Then, we can use the same principle as we did with triangle 1 to find our missing angle 2 in triangle 2.

85 + 65 + <2 = 180

150 + <2 = 180

<2 = 30 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The profit equation can be simplified.

  P = 350n -(150n +1000)

  P = 200n -1000 . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  P = 200(n -5) . . . . . . . . . . . factor out 200

For the given numbers n, we have ...

  P = 200({8, 12, 20, 30} -5) = 200{3, 7, 15, 25} = {600, 1400, 3000, 5000}

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN:    dx / dt=5 in./min.  and  dy/ dt=−6 in./min.

FIND:    dz/ dt when x=12 in. and y=9 in.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to get the equation

x2+y2=z2

Now differentiate this equation with repect to time t getting

D{x2+y2}=D{z2}   ⟶

2xdxdt+2ydydt=2zdzdt   ⟶  

(Multiply both sides of the equation by 1/2.)

x dx/ dt+y dy/ dt= z dz/ dt              (DE)

Now let x=12 and y=9 and solve for z using the Pythagorean Theorem.

tex2html_wrap_inline125

122+92=z2   ⟶   z2=225   ⟶   z=15

Plug in all given rates and values to the equation (DE) getting

dz/ dt=615=25 in/min.

Wilcox, chief executive officer and chairman of the board of directors, owned 60 percent of the shares of Sterling Corporation. When the market price of Sterling’s shares was $22 per share, Wilcox sold all of his shares in Sterling to Conrad for $29 per share. The minority shareholders of Sterling brought suit against Wilcox demanding a pro rata share of the amount Wilcox received in excess of the market price. a. What are the arguments to support the minority shareholders’ claim for a pro rata share of the amount Wilcox received in excess of the market price? b. What are the arguments to reject the minority shareholders’ claim for a pro rata share of the amount Wilcox received in excess of the market price? c. Which side should prevail?

Answers

Answer:

Sterling Corporation

a. Arguments to support the minority shareholders' claim include:

1. If there is a provision to this effect in the Shareholders' agreement,

2. If the minority shareholders can prove that Wilcox oppressed the minority shareholders by selling off his shares in the corporation, and

3. If the Shareholders' agreement forbids Wilcox from selling off his shareholdings.

b. The arguments to reject the minority shareholders' claim include:

1. As the majority shareholder, Wilcox dictates the direction of firm until the sale-off.

2. Wilcox is within his rights to sell his shares to Conrad.

3. Wilcox does not oppress the minority shareholders with the sale to Conrad.

c.  Wilcox should prevail.  Apparently, he did not act illegally or contrary to agreement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Shareholding of Wilcox (chief executive officer and chairman of the BOD) = 60%, which is > 50%.

Shareholding of Minority shareholders = 40%, which is <50%

Market price per share of Sterling Corporation = $22

Selling price of Wilcox's shares = $29

Excess of the market price = $7 ($29 - $22)
