This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
If 8 people invest $500 each in a stamp collection and after a year the collection is worth $3,800, how much did each person lose? show work
Answer:
Each person lost $25
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Number people that invested = 8
Amount each invested = $500
worth after a year the collection = $3,800
Now, the amount each person lost will be;
[tex]Lost_{each-person[/tex] = Total loss / total number of persons
[tex]Lost_{each-person[/tex] = [ ( 500 × 8 ) - 3800 ] / 8
[tex]Lost_{each-person[/tex] = [ 4000 - 3800 ] / 8
[tex]Lost_{each-person[/tex] = 200 / 8
[tex]Lost_{each-person[/tex] = 25
Therefore, each person lost $25

Answer: Choice D)
(-1.5, -1) and (0, 1)
=============================================================
Explanation:
Exponents can be a bit clunky if you have too many of them, and if they're nested like this. Writing something like e^(x^2) may seem confusing if you aren't careful. I'm going to use a different notation approach. I'll use "exp" notation instead.
So instead of writing something like e^(x^2), I'll write exp(x^2).
The given derivative is
f ' (x) = exp(x^4-2x^2+1) - 2
and this only applies when -1.5 < x < 1.5
Apply the derivative to both sides and we'll find the second derivative
f ' (x) = exp(x^4-2x^2+1) - 2
f '' (x) = d/dx[ exp(x^4-2x^2+1) - 2 ]
f '' (x) = exp(x^4-2x^2+1)*d/dx[ x^4-2x^2+1 ]
f '' (x) = exp(x^4-2x^2+1)*(4x^3-4x)
f '' (x) = (4x^3-4x)*exp(x^4-2x^2+1)
From here, we need to find the roots of f '' (x).
Set f '' (x) equal to zero and solve to get...
f '' (x) = 0
(4x^3-4x)*exp(x^4-2x^2+1) = 0
4x^3-4x = 0 ..... or .... exp(x^4-2x^2+1) = 0
4x(x^2-1) = 0
4x(x+1)(x-1) = 0
4x = 0 or x+1 = 0 or x-1 = 0
x = 0 or x = -1 or x = 1
Those are the three roots. We ignore the equation exp(x^4-2x^2+1) = 0 because it doesn't have any real number solutions.
---------------------
The three roots of x = 0 or x = -1 or x = 1 represent possible locations of points of inflection (POI). Recall that a POI is where the function changes concavity. To determine if we have a POI or not, we'll need to a sign test.
Draw out a number line. Plot -1, 0, and 1 in that order on it. Pick something to the left of -1 but larger than -1.5, lets say we pick x = -1.2. Plugging this into the second derivative function leads to...
f '' (x) = (4x^3-4x)*exp(x^4-2x^2+1)
f '' (-1.2) = (4(-1.2)^3-4(-1.2))*exp((-1.2)^4-2(-1.2)^2+1)
f '' (-1.2) = -2.563
That value is approximate. The actual value itself doesn't matter. What does matter is the sign of the result. The negative second derivative value tells us we have a concave down region. So we just found that f(x) is concave down for the interval -1.5 < x < -1, which converts to the interval notation (-1.5, -1)
Repeat the process for something between x = -1 and x = 0. I'll pick x = -0.5 and it leads to f '' (-0.5) = 2.63 approximately. The positive result tells us that we have a concave up region. Therefore, -1 < x < 0 is not part of the answer we're after.
Repeat for something between x = 0 and x = 1. I'll pick x = 0.5 and it produces f '' (0.5) = -2.63 approximately. So the region 0 < x < 1 is also concave down. Meaning that the interval notation (0,1) is also part of the answer.
So far we have the interval notation of (-1.5, -1) and (0,1) as part of our solution set.
Lastly, we need to check something to the right of x = 1, but smaller than 1.5; let's go for x = 1.2
You should find that f '' (1.2) = 2.563 which allows us to rule out the region on the interval 1 < x < 1.5
Overall, the final answer is (-1.5, -1) and (0, 1)

The length of a rectangle is 5 more than the width. The area is 500 square feet. Find the length and width of the rectangle.
Answer:
length = 25ft, width = 20ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x= width, so length = x+5
Area = l x w so A = x(x+5)
Since the area is given as 500 sqft, your equation is x(x+5)=500.
Although the numbers are easy enough to factor in your head, mathematically the equation can be solved as a quadratic, as follows:
x^2 + 5x -500 = 0
Using either factoring or quadratic formula, x = 20 (the other value is negative). Therefore the width is 20ft and the length is 25ft.
Suppose that the middle 68% of speeding ticket fines on a highway fall between 93.18 and 118. Give an approximate estimate of the standard deviation of the speeding ticket fines. Assume the fine amount has a normal distribution
Answer:
The approximate estimate of the standard deviation of the speeding ticket fines is of 12.41.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:
Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
Middle 68% of speeding ticket fines on a highway fall between 93.18 and 118.
This means that 93.18 is one standard deviation below the mean and 118 is one standard deviation above the mean. That is, the difference between 118 and 93.18 is worth two standard deviations. So
[tex]2s = 118 - 93.18[/tex]
[tex]s = \frac{(118 - 93.18)}{2}[/tex]
[tex]s = 12.41[/tex]
The approximate estimate of the standard deviation of the speeding ticket fines is of 12.41.

The table of values represents a function f(x).
How much greater is the average rate of change over the interval [7, 9] than the interval [4, 6]?
Enter your answer in the box.
Answer:
It is 603 units greater
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for table
Average rate of change over (a,b) is calculated as:
[tex]Rate = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]
For interval [7,9], we have:
[tex][a,b] = [7,9][/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]Rate = \frac{f(9) - f(7)}{9-7}[/tex]
[tex]Rate = \frac{f(9) - f(7)}{2}[/tex]
From the table:
[tex]f(9) = 3878[/tex]
[tex]f(7) = 1852[/tex]
So:
[tex]Rate = \frac{f(9) - f(7)}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Rate = \frac{3878 - 1852}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Rate = \frac{2026}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Rate = 1013\\[/tex]
For interval [4,6], we have:
[tex][a,b] = [4,6][/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]Rate = \frac{f(6) - f(4)}{6-4}[/tex]
[tex]Rate = \frac{f(6) - f(4)}{2}[/tex]
From the table:
[tex]f(6) = 1178[/tex]
[tex]f(4) = 358[/tex]
So:
[tex]Rate = \frac{f(6) - f(4)}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Rate = \frac{1178 - 358}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Rate = \frac{820}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Rate = 410[/tex]
Calculate the difference (d) to get how much greater their rate of change is:
[tex]d = 1013 - 410[/tex]
[tex]d = 603[/tex]

Match each equation on the left with the number and type of its solutions on the right.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1). Given equation is,
2x² - 3x = 6
2x² - 3x - 6 = 0
To find the solutions of the equation we will use quadratic formula,
x = [tex]\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]
Substitute the values of a, b and c in the formula,
a = 2, b = -3 and c = -6
x = [tex]\frac{3\pm\sqrt{(-3)^2-4(2)(-6)}}{2(2)}[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{3\pm\sqrt{9+48}}{4}[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{3\pm\sqrt{57}}{4}[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{3+\sqrt{57}}{4},\frac{3-\sqrt{57}}{4}[/tex]
Therefore, there are two real solutions.
2). Given equation is,
x² + 1 = 2x
x² - 2x + 1 = 0
(x - 1)² = 0
x = 1
Therefore, there is one real solution of the equation.
3). 2x² + 3x + 2 = 0
By applying quadratic formula,
x = [tex]\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{3^2-4(2)(2)}}{2(2)}[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{9-16}}{4}[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{-3\pm i\sqrt{7}}{4}[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{-3+ i\sqrt{7}}{4},\frac{-3- i\sqrt{7}}{4}[/tex]
Therefore, there are two complex (non real) solutions.

Answer:
The cost for 4 snacks is 18 dollars.
Cost for x snacks: 4.5x
Step-by-step explanation:
4 x 4.5 = 18
Answers:
Cost for 4 snacks = 70 dollarsCost for x snacks = 4.50x+52 dollarsThe algebraic expression shown above is the same as writing 52+4.50x
You may not need to type in "dollars" or a dollar sign, as your teacher may just want the numbers and algebraic symbols.
=====================================================
Explanation:
There are four people going to the movies, and each ticket costs $13 a piece, so that means the total so far is 4*13 = 52 dollars.
If we want to include snacks, then it costs $4.50 per snack. Buying 4 packages will cost an additional 4.50*4 = 18 dollars. In total, if Kiran wants to buy four snacks, then he'll need 52+18 = 70 dollars.
---------------------
Instead of computing 4.50*4 to get 18, we can leave the "4.50*4" like it is. Adding it onto the 52 found earlier leads to the expression 52+4.50*4
Now imagine that instead of "4", we just had a generic placeholder x take over. The x is standing in for any positive real number, or it could stand in for 0 if Kiran decides to not buy any snacks at all.
If we replace that "4" with x, then the expression
52+4.50*4
is the same as
52+4.50*x
Often times, you'll see the multiplication symbol omitted and the expression could look like 52+4.50x
Because we can add two numbers in any order, that expression above is the same as 4.50x+52
-------------------
Extra info (optional section):
The useful thing about something like 4.50x+52 is that we can graph y = 4.50x+52 and/or set up a table to be able to quickly determine how much money it will cost for buying any amount of snacks.
For example, let's say he wants to buy 10 snacks. That means we replace x with 10 and evaluate like so
4.50x+52 = 4.50*10+52 = 45+52 = 97
Buying 10 snacks, on top of the 4 movie tickets, cost $97 in total.

The following measurements (in picocuries per liter) were recorded by a set of carbon dioxide detectors installed in a manufacturing facility: 799.2,784.3,803.8,806.8,780.5,794.8 Using these measurements, construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean level of carbon dioxide present in the facility. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 3 of 4: Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.
Answer:
(783.806 ; 805.994)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the sample :
X : 799.2,784.3,803.8,806.8,780.5,794.8
Sample size, n = 6
Sample mean, xbar = Σx / n = 794.9
Sample standard deviation, s = 10.574 ( calculator)
Tcritical at 95%, df = 6 - 1 = 5 equals 2.57
Confidence interval :
Xbar ± standard error
Standard Error = Tcritical * s/√n
Standard error = 2.57 * 10.574/√6 = 11.094
Lower boundary = (794.9 - 11.094) = 783.806
Upper boundary = (794.9 + 11.094) = 805.994
(783.806 ; 805.994)
Write the equation of the lines which have the following parameters. Write the equation in slope intercept form.
1. slope = 3; y-intercept = 5
2. slope = 2/5; y-intercept =-10
3. slope = -3/2; y-intercept = -2
4. slope = 18; y-intercept = 0
5. slope = -3.253; y-intercept =-14.159
6. Challenge problem: x-intercept = -2; y-intercept = 6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope intercept form is :
y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
So, given slope and y-intercept, all you have to do is plug in slope for m and y-intercept for b.
1.) y = 3x + 5
2.) y = 2/5x - 10
3.) y = -3/2x - 2
4.) y = 18x
5.) y = -3.253x - 14.159
For question 6, you need to calculate the slope given the two points then plug in the slope and y-intercept to get the equation.
So to find slope, you use the equation below:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (6-0) / (0 - -2) = (6) / (2) =3
6.) y = 3x + 6
