Answer:

D. R(x) = 850x +9600

Detailed explanation:

Selling 10 additional machines increased revenue from $18100 to $26600, which reflects an increase of...

... $26,600 minus $18,100 equals $8,500

This indicates that revenue rose by $8500 divided by 10, which equals $850 per machine.

Only one option contains this value:

... D. R(x) = 850x+9600

_____

Verification

R(10) = 850·10 +9600 = 8500 +9600 = 18,100.... Correct

R(20) = 850·20 +9600 = 17000 +9600 = 26,600.... Correct

_____

Comments on choice selection

In multiple-choice scenarios, it's often not required to solve the entire problem accurately. Generally, it's enough to identify the single number that distinguishes the correct from the incorrect options.

In reality, problems are seldom multiple-choice. One must go through the process thoroughly and determine whether the answer is accurate.

Here, we delved deep enough to find the slope, representing the revenue gain when one unit increase in sales occurs. Different methods can determine the intercept. One such method is to identify the value that aligns revenue with one of the "x" values:

... R(10) = 850·10 +b = 18100

... b = 18100 -8500 = 9600

therefore...

... R(x) = 850x +9600

We can verify this answer by calculating R(20) as shown previously.

A department store sells logo shirts at an original price of $20. Every month that a shirt doesn’t sell, the store reduces the s
Inessa [12174]

Answer: Macy's pre-tax shirt price is $5.63

Step-by-step explanation:

Details:

Original cost = 20

sale price drops by 25% every month it remains unsold.


First markdown month:

20 * (100%-25%) = 20 * 75% = 15


Second markdown month:

15 * 75% = 11.25


Macy, being an employee, enjoys a 50% discount on the current price.

11.25 * 50% = 5.625

11.25 - 5.625 = 5.625 or rounded to 5.63

Hope this helps!:)

When jumping, a flea rapidly extends its legs, reaching a takeoff speed of 1.0 m/s over a distance of 0.50 mm . part a what is t
zzz [11864]

The flea experiences an acceleration of 1,000 m/s².

Detailed explanation

This scenario involves motion with constant acceleration.

The relevant variables include the following.

\boxed{u \ or \ v_i = initial \ velocity}

\boxed{u \ or \ v_t \ or \ v_i = terminal \ or \ final \ velocity}

\boxed{a = acceleration \ (constant)}

\boxed{d = distance \ travelled}

We know the flea attains a takeoff velocity of 1.0 m/s over a distance of 0.50 mm.

The flea starts from rest, so the initial velocity is zero. The question asks for the flea's acceleration during leg extension.

The equation we apply is:

\boxed{ \ v^2 = u^2 + 2ad \ }

  • a = acceleration (m/s²)
  • u = initial speed = 0 m/s
  • v = takeoff velocity = 1.0 m/s
  • d = displacement = 0.50 mm

First, convert 0.50 mm to meters: \boxed{0.50 \ mm = 0.50 \times 10^{-3} \ m = 5.0 \times 10^{-4} \ m}

Solution steps:

Rearrange the formula to isolate acceleration (a).

\boxed{ \ v^2 = u^2 + 2ad \ }

\boxed{ \ v^2 - u^2 = 2ad \ }

\boxed{ \ 2ad = v^2 - u^2 \ }

\boxed{ \ a = \frac{v^2 - u^2}{2d} \ }

Insert the given values into the rearranged equation.

\boxed{ \ a = \frac{(1.0)^2 - (0)^2}{2(5.0 \times 10^{-4})} \ }

\boxed{ \ a = \frac{1}{10 \times 10^{-4}} \ }

\boxed{ \ a = \frac{1}{1 \times 10^{-3}} \ }

\boxed{ \ a = 1 \times 10^{3}\ = 1,000 \ m/s^2 \ }

This yields the flea's acceleration as 1,000 m/s².

A mercury thermometer records a temperature of 8 degrees Fahrenheit at 10:00am.If the Temperature drops by 3 degrees Fahrenheit
Svet_ta [12294]

Given:

The temperature recorded at 10:00 am is 8 degrees Fahrenheit.

The temperature decreases by 3 degrees Fahrenheit each hour.

To find:

The temperature at 2:00 pm on the same day.

Solution:

Let y represent the temperature after x hours since 10:00 am.

The temperature at 10:00 am serves as the initial temperature.

Thus, the y-intercept of the linear equation is 8.

The temperature reduces by 3 degrees Fahrenheit every hour.

This indicates the slope of the linear equation is -3, with the negative sign indicating a decrease.

The slope-intercept form of a linear function is indicated by

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Inserting m=-3 and y=8 into the above equation gives us the required values.

y=-3x+8

From 10:00 am to 2:00 pm spans 4 hours; therefore, substitute x=4 into the above equation.

y=-3(4)+8

y=-12+8

y=-4

Consequently, the temperature at 2:00 pm is -4 degrees Fahrenheit.

There is a safety fence around a circular pool with a gate. The gate is 150 cm wide. What is the length of the fence not includi
zzz [11864]

Response:

The fence's length is expressed as 6.28x - 150 cm.

Detailed Breakdown:

Assuming the circular pool has a radius (r) of x cm.

As the pool is circular, its circumference represents the length of the fence. Additionally, subtracting the 150 cm for the gate gives us the actual length of the fence.

Length of fence = Circumference of pool – gate's width.

Length of fence = 2 π r – 150

Length of fence = 2 × 3.14 × x – 150

Therefore, the fence length is 6.28x – 150 cm.

A waterbed filled with water has the dimensions 8ft by 7 ft by .75 ft taking the density of water to be 1.00/gm cubed how many k
Svet_ta [12294]

Density can be defined as:

D = \frac{m}{V}

Where:

m is mass

V stands for volume

To isolate the mass, we derive:

m = DV

Volume can be expressed as:

V = (8) * (7) * (0.75)

V = 42ft ^ 3

We then use the following conversion:

1foot = 0.3048m

After applying the conversion, we arrive at:

V = 42 * (0.3048) ^ 3

V = 1.19m ^ 3

Additionally, we have these conversions:

1m = 100cm

1Kg = 1000g

When we apply these conversions for density, we conclude:

D = (1\frac{g}{cm^3})((\frac{100}{1})^3\frac{cm^3}{1m^3})(\frac{1}{1000}\frac{Kg}{g})=1000\frac{Kg}{m^3}

Finally, the mass of the water required is:

m = (1000) * (1.19)

m = 1190

Answer:

A total of 1190 kilograms of water is needed to fill the waterbed.
