Final answer:
The algebraic expression representing 'two less than twice a number is the same as four times the number' is solved, resulting in the number being -1.
Explanation:
The student's question involves solving a simple algebraic equation. We are given that two less than twice a number is the same as four times the number. To represent this algebraically, let's let the unknown number be n. The phrase 'twice a number' can be written as 2n. 'Two less than' this expression would be 2n - 2. The statement implies this is equal to four times the number, which is 4n. Therefore, the equation we need to solve is 2n - 2 = 4n. To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable n on one side of the equals sign.
Subtract 2n from both sides: -2 = 2n.
Divide both sides by 2 to find the value of n: n = -1.
In conclusion, the number that satisfies the condition given is -1.
Given f(x) = x2 + 4x − 1 and g(x) = 5x − 7, identify (fg)(x).
The product of the functions[tex]\( f(x) = x^2 + 4x - 1 \) and \( g(x) = 5x - 7 \) is \( 5x^3 + 13x^2 - 33x + 7 \).[/tex]
The correct answer is indeed [tex]{C} \),[/tex] which matches [tex]\( 5x^3 + 13x^2 - 33x + 7 \).[/tex]
To find the product[tex]\( (f \cdot g)(x) \)[/tex], where [tex]\( f(x) = x^2 + 4x - 1 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( g(x) = 5x - 7 \),[/tex]we need to perform the multiplication of these two functions.
Start by expanding [tex]\( f(x) \cdot g(x) \):[/tex]
1. Write down ( f(x) ):
[tex]\[ f(x) = x^2 + 4x - 1 \][/tex]
2. Write down ( g(x) ):
[tex]\[ g(x) = 5x - 7 \][/tex]
3. Perform the multiplication [tex]\( f(x) \cdot g(x) \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ f(x) \cdot g(x) = (x^2 + 4x - 1)(5x - 7) \][/tex]
4. Distribute [tex]\( x^2 + 4x - 1 \)[/tex] across ( 5x - 7 ):
[tex]\[ f(x) \cdot g(x) = x^2 \cdot (5x - 7) + 4x \cdot (5x - 7) - 1 \cdot (5x - 7) \][/tex]
5. Perform the multiplications:
[tex]\[ x^2 \cdot (5x - 7) = 5x^3 - 7x^2 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 4x \cdot (5x - 7) = 20x^2 - 28x \][/tex]
[tex]\[ -1 \cdot (5x - 7) = -5x + 7 \][/tex]
6. Combine all the terms:
[tex]\[ f(x) \cdot g(x) = 5x^3 - 7x^2 + 20x^2 - 28x - 5x + 7 \][/tex]
7. Simplify by combining like terms:
[tex]\[ f(x) \cdot g(x) = 5x^3 + (20x^2 - 7x^2) + (-28x - 5x) + 7 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ f(x) \cdot g(x) = 5x^3 + 13x^2 - 33x + 7 \][/tex]
Therefore, the product [tex]\( (f \cdot g)(x) \) is \( 5x^3 + 13x^2 - 33x + 7 \).[/tex]
The correct answer is indeed [tex]{C} \),[/tex] which matches [tex]\( 5x^3 + 13x^2 - 33x + 7 \).[/tex]

Barry’s Bagel Emporium sells a dozen bagels for $5.00. This price is no longer high enough to create a profit. The owner decides to raise the price. He does not want to alarm his customers with too large of an increase. He is considering four different plans. Plan A: Raise the price by $0.05 each week until the price reaches $8.00. Plan B: Raise the price by 10 percent each week until the price reaches $8.00. Plan C: Raise the price by the same amount each week for 6 weeks, so that in the sixth week the price is $8.00. Plan D: Raise the price by $0.25 each week until the price reaches $8.00. Which plan will result in the price of the bagels reaching $8.00 fastest? plan A plan B plan C
Answer:
Plan B is correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Raise the price by 10 percent each week until the price reaches $8.00.
Week 1. Starting price $5
[tex]0.1\times5=0.5[/tex]
price becomes = [tex]5+0.5=5.5[/tex]
Week 2.
[tex]0.1\times5.5=0.55[/tex]
Price becomes = [tex]5.5+0.55=6.05[/tex]
Week 3.
[tex]0.1\times6.05=0.605[/tex]
Price become = [tex]6.05+0.605=6.655[/tex]
Week 4.
[tex]0.1\times6.655=0.6655[/tex]
Price becomes = [tex]6.655+0.6655=7.320[/tex]
Week 5.
[tex]0.1\times7.320=0.732[/tex]
Price becomes = [tex]7.320+0.732=8.052[/tex]
So, we can see that in 5 weeks the price becomes $8 from $5. Therefore, plan B is the best plan.

Find the base of a parallelogram with an area (
a. of 60 square inches and height (h) of 4 inches. Use the formula for the area of a parallelogram
The base of parallelogram is 15 inches.
What is parallelogram?A parallelogram is a two-pair quadrilateral with parallel sides. A parallelogram has opposite sides that are the same length and have opposite angles that are the same size. Additionally, the interior angles on the same transversal side are supplemental. 360 degrees is the sum of all the interior angles.
Given area of a parallelogram is 60 square inches
area of parallelogram is given by product of base and height,
Area = b × h
where b = base and h = height
height = 4 inches
Area = b × h
60 = b × 4
b = 60/4 = 15 inches
Hence the base is 15 inches.

75% of our 1000 products are shipped on time each month the remainder have defects that take two weeks to fix and ship our clients complain about 10% of the anti-products are defective and 5% of the product shipped late or defective what is the overall percentage of defective products
Final answer:
Calculating the overall percentage of defective products from the given data, we find that 150 out of 1000 products are defective, leading to an overall defect rate of 15%.
Explanation:
The question asks us to calculate the overall percentage of defective products based on the given scenarios. Firstly, it's mentioned that 75% of 1000 products are shipped on time, which means 750 are shipped on time and 250 are initially defective.
Since clients complain that 10% of the products are defective and 5% of the products are shipped late or are defective, we need to consider these percentages in our calculations.
To find the number of defective products, we can assume the 10% complaint rate on the entire batch of products which would lead to 100 out of 1000 products being defective. This is the initial estimated number of defective products.
To address the 5% of the products that are both shipped late and are defective, we consider this as an additional defect rate on top of the existing one, which would be another 50 products.
Total defects would then be the sum of defects from the complaints about defects and the defects because of shipping delay, which amounts to 100 + 50 = 150 defective products. To find the overall percentage, we divide 150 by 1000 and multiply by 100, giving us an overall defect rate of 15%.
The local theater has three types of seats for broadway plays: main floor, balcony, and mezzanine. main floor tickets are $59, balcony tickets are $50, and mezzanine tickets are $40. one particular night, sales totaled $73,785. there were 435 more main floor tickets sold than balcony and mezzanine tickets combined. the number of balcony tickets sold is 78 more than 33 times the number of mezzanine tickets sold. how many of each type of ticket were sold?
Final answer:
10 mezzanine tickets, 408 balcony tickets, and 853 main floor tickets were sold.
Explanation:
Let's solve this problem step-by-step to find out how many of each type of ticket were sold:
Let's assume that the number of mezzanine tickets sold is x. Therefore, the number of balcony tickets sold is 33x + 78 (since it is 78 more than 33 times the number of mezzanine tickets sold).
The number of main floor tickets sold is 435 + (33x + 78) + x = 435 + 34x + 78 = 34x + 513 (since there were 435 more main floor tickets sold than balcony and mezzanine tickets combined).
The total sales amount is $73,785.
Now, we can set up an equation to solve for x:
$40x + $50(33x + 78) + $59(34x + 513) = $73,785
Simplifying the equation:
40x + 1650x + 3900 + 59(34x + 513) = 73785
40x + 1650x + 3900 + 2006x + 30567 = 73785
3696x + 34467 = 73785
3696x = 39318
x = 39318/3696
x = 10.65
Since we can't have a fraction of a ticket, we can round down to the nearest whole number. So, x = 10.
Therefore, 10 mezzanine tickets were sold, 33x + 78 = 408 balcony tickets were sold, and 34x + 513 = 853 main floor tickets were sold.

Conditional probabilities are based on some event occurring given that something else has already occurred?
The answer is true. A conditional probability is a measure of the probability of an event given that (by assumption, presumption, assertion or evidence) another event has occurred. If the event of interest is A and the event B is known or assumed to have occurred, "the conditional probability of A given B", or "the probability of A in the condition B", is usually written as P (A|B). The conditional probability of A given B is well-defined as the quotient of the probability of the joint of events A and B, and the probability of B.
