A construction firm is trying to decide which of two models of a crane to purchase. Model A costs $100,000 and requires $4,000 per year to maintain. Model B has an initial cost of $78,000 and a maintenance cost of $13,000 per year. For how many years must model A be used before it becomes more economical than B? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

Answers

Answer 1
Let A and B be the functions which calculate the cost of purchase and maintenance of the models for x years.

The functions are as follows: 

A(x)=100,000+4,000x                                (dollars)

B(x)=78,000+13,000x                              (dollars)


Model A becomes more economical than Model B when A(x)<B(x), 

so we solve:

100,000+4,000x<78,000+13,000x  

100,000-78,000<13,000x-4,000x
 
         22,000< 9000x
               
                 22<9x

                    x>22/9=2.444

Model A becomes more economical in the third year, that is after the first 2 years.

a rectangle has a perimeter,p, length,l, and width,w. which of the following represents l in terms of p and w?

Answers

P = 2 (l + w)
l = length
w = width

so
l + w = P/2
l = P/2 - w
Final answer:

To find the length (l) of a rectangle in terms of the perimeter (p) and width (w), use the formula l = (p - 2w) / 2.

Explanation:

To find the length (l) of a rectangle in terms of the perimeter (p) and width (w), we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, which is given by:



p = 2l + 2w



Now, solve the equation for l by subtracting 2w from both sides:



p - 2w = 2l



Finally, divide both sides by 2:



l = (p - 2w) / 2

What are the 3 numbers in Marlene's puzzle if the quotient of a & c is 8, the quotient of a & b is -16, the quotient of b & c is -0.5, the product of a & c is 2, the product of a & b is -1,?

Answers

a = 4, b = -0.25, c = 0.5

or a = -4, b = 0.25, c = -0.5



Write down what you know in the form of equations:

a / c = 8

a / b = -16

b / c = -0.5

a * c = 2

a * b = -1



Now see if you can express one variable in terms of another. The a * c = 2 expression looks like a nice place to begin.

a * c = 2



Divide both sides by c

a = 2/c



Now look for another expression that uses a and c. The expression a/c = 8 looks like a good possibility.



a/c = 8



Substitute the expression defining a in terms of c into the expression

(2/c)/c = 8



Multiply both sides by c

2/c = 8c



Multiply both sides by c again

2 = 8c^2



divide both sides by 8

2/8 = c^2

1/4 = c^2



Take the square root of both sides

1/2 = c

0.5 = c



Now that we know the value for c, Calculate a using the a = 2/c expression we made.

a = 2/c = 2/.5 = 4



So we now know that a = 4, and c = 0.5

Look for an expression using b that we can solve. a / b = -16 looks like a good place to try

a / b = -16



Substitute the known value of a

4 / b = -16



Multiply both sides by b

4 = -16 b



Divide both sides by -16

-4/16 = b



Simplify

-0.25 = b



So a = 4, b = -0.25, c = 0.5

Verify using the equations given

a / c = 8: 4 / 0.5 = 8 Correct.

a / b = -16: 4 / (-0.25) = -16 Correct

b / c = -0.5: -0.25 / 0.5 = -0.5 Correct

a * c = 2: 4 * 0.5 = 2 Correct

a * b = -1: 4 * -0.25 = -1 Correct



All of the quotients and products come out as they should, so the values determined for a,b,c are correct.



Note: Since the square root was taken for the equation

0.25 = c^2

0.5 = c

The value of either 0.5, or -0.5 is correct for c. So this problem actually has 2 solutions.

They are a = 4, b = -0.25, c = 0.5

or a = -4, b = 0.25, c = -0.5

Draw one card at random from a standard deck of cards. the sample space s is the collection of the 52 cards. assume that the probability set function assigns 1/52 to each of the 52 outcomes. let a = {x: x is a jack, queen, or king}, b = {x: x is a 9, 10, or jack and x is red}, c = {x: x is a club}, d = {x: x is a diamond, a heart, or a spade}.

Answers

In probability problems, look out for the word OR and AND.

OR means adding the probability
AND means multiplying the probability

P(a) = P(jack) + P(queen) + P(king) = (4/52) + (4/52) + (4/52) = 12/52 = 3/13

P(b) = [P(9) + P(10) + P(jack)] × P(red) = [(4/52) + (4/52) + (4/52)] × (26/52)
P(b) = (12/52) × (26/52) = 3/26

P(c) = 13/52 = 1/4

P(d) = P(a diamond) + P(a heart) + P(a spade) =  (13/52) + (13/52) + (13/52) = 3/4

Which is a correct classification for the triangle? equiangular triangle obtuse triangle acute triangle right triangle Triangle with two angles labeled 22 degrees and 63 degrees

Answers

None of the classifications.  22 + 22+ 63 = 107 degrees but a triangle mus t have 180 degrees.

Answer:

The triangle is obtuse triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two angles of triangle labelled as 22° and 63°. we have to classify the triangle.

Let the third angle be x°

By angle sum property of triangle,

22°+63°+x=180°

⇒ 85°+x=180° ⇒ x=95°

An equiangular triangle is a triangle where all interior angles are equal.          

An obtuse triangle is a triangle in which one of the angles is obtuse angle.

An acute triangle is a triangle have all three angles acute.

For right triangle one angle must be of 90°.

Hence, one angle of the triangle is 95° which is obtuse i.e greater than 90°

∴ Given triangle is obtuse.

The probability that a given computer chip will fail is 0.02. find the probability that of 5 delivered chips, exactly 2 will fail.

Answers

Since the chip either passes or fails, this problem is one in binomial probability, with p(fail)=0.02 and n=5.
                 
If your calculator features probability functions such as binompdf(n, p), use it.
Mine is a TI-83 Plus.

The probability that exactly two chips will fail is

binompdf(5,0.02,2) = 0.0038.  This is quite a small probability.



Probability of an event is the measure of its chance of occurrence. The probability that of 5 delivered chips, exactly 2 will fail is 0.003764768 or approx 0.0004

How to find that a given condition can be modeled by binomial distribution?

Binomial distributions consists of n independent Bernoulli trials.

Bernoulli trials are those trials which end up randomly either on success (with probability p) or on failures( with probability 1- p = q (say))

Suppose we have random variable X pertaining binomial distribution with parameters n and p, then it is written as

[tex]X \sim B(n,p)[/tex]

The probability that out of n trials, there'd be x successes is given by

[tex]P(X =x) = \: ^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

For the given case, as failing or working of chips usually doesn't depend on other chips' working condition, so they're independent(assuming). There are two cases for each chip's working(random experiment) that it is either working or failed.

If we take Success of the considered binomial experiment(working status of chip) = Chip working fine

Then, as per given data, we have

P(chip working fine ) = 1  - P(chip not working) = 1 - 0.02 = 0.98 = Probability of success in Bernoulli experiment (chip's working status).

There are n = 5 chips, p = probability of success = 0.98, q = 1-p = 0.02

If we take X = number of chips of of 5 chips working, then:

[tex]X \sim B(n = 5, p = 0.98)[/tex]

Then, the needed probability is P(Exactly two chips fail) = P(Exactly 5-2 = 3 chips work) = P(X  = 3)

And thus,  the needed probability is calculated as:

[tex]P(X = 3) = \: ^5C_3(0.98)^3(0.02)^2 = \dfrac{5.4.3}{3.2.1} \times 0.941192 \times 0.0004 = 0.003764768[/tex]

(using the probability mass function of binomial distribution).

Thus, the probability that of 5 delivered chips, exactly 2 will fail is 0.003764768 or approx 0.0004

(15-6)-3 = 15 - (6 -3) dose this make sense or nonsense?

Answers

No it does not make sense. You misused the parenthesis and the "-" multiplied the variables within the parenthesis and as a result one of them subtracted (15 - 6) by 3 and the other added, which is why the final values are 6 apart. This is not how you use properties in math.
(15 - 6) - 3 = 9 - 3 = 6
15 - (6 - 3) = 15 - 3 = 12
(15 - 6) - 3 = 15 - (6 - 3)

First, let's simplify everything on the left side.

9 - 3 = 15 - (6 - 3)

Now, let's simplify everything on the right side.

9 - 3 = 15 - 3

Then, simplify both sides.

A drivers uses 2.7 gallons of gasoline to drive her car 72.9 miles. what was her cars mileage?

Answers

divide 72.9 by 2.7

72.9 / 2.7 = 27 miles per gallon

Answer:

27 mi/gal

Step-by-step explanation:

The car mileage refers to the number of miles that a vehicle can run per gallon of fuel. A higher car mileage is desirable because it means that the vehicle has a better performance (travels more distance per gallon of fuel.) A driver uses 2.7 gallons of gasoline to drive her car 72.9 miles. The car mileage is:

72.9 miles / 2.7 gallon = 27 miles/gallon

The car can travel 27 miles per gallon of gasoline.

Answers

let's say she charges "x" for her consulting services.

so. she charges then for every hour 1 1/5x.  First let's convert that mixed fraction to "improper" and check what is "x".  Bearing in mind that, the 470 is for 7 hours of work, but the hourly rate only applies to the 1 1/5x, NOT the fixed consulting fee rate.

[tex]\bf x+7\left( 1\frac{1}{5}x \right)=470\implies x+7\left( \cfrac{1\cdot 5+1}{5}x \right)=470 \\\\\\ x+7\left( \cfrac{6}{5}x \right)=470\implies x+\cfrac{42x}{5}=470\implies \cfrac{5x+42x}{5}=470 \\\\\\ 5x+42x=2350\implies 47x=2350\implies x=\cfrac{2350}{47}\implies \boxed{x=50}[/tex]

what's her hourly rate? well (6/5)x

A vacant lot is being converted into a community garden. The garden and the walkway around its perimeter have an area of 238 ft2. Find the width of the walkway if the garden is 12 ft wide by 15 ft long. ft

Answers

Let us say that:

x = width of walkway

 

So the area is:

(12 + 2x) (15 + 2x) = 238

2x because we must add x on both sides of length and width

Expanding:

180 + 24x + 30x + 4x^2 = 238

4x^2 + 54x = 58

By completing the square:

x^2 + 13.5x + 45.5625 = 60.0625

(x + 6.75)^2 = 60.0625

x + 6.75 = ±7.75

x = -14.5, 1

 

Since dimension cannot be negative, therefore:

width = 1 ft

Final answer:

The width of the walkway around the garden is 3.87 ft.

Explanation:

The width of the walkway around the garden can be found by subtracting the area of the garden from the total area of the garden with the walkway.

Calculate the total area of the garden with the walkway by multiplying the length and width: 12 ft * 15 ft = 180 ft2.Subtract the area of the garden from the total area (238 ft2 - 180 ft2) to find the area of the walkway: 58 ft2.Since the walkway surrounds the garden, divide the walkway's area by the length or width of the garden to find the width of the walkway: 58 ft / 15 ft = 3.87 ft.
