If A queen-sized mattress is 20 inches longer than it is wide. A king-sized mattress is 1280 square inches.

In mathematics, a variable is a symbol or letter that represents a value that can change or vary in a given context or problem. The area of the queen-sized mattress is x(x + 20) square inches. The equation to determine the area of the king-sized mattress is (x + 16)(x + 20) = x(x + 20) + 1280

Let x be the width of the queen-sized mattress in inches.

Then the length of the queen-sized mattress is x + 20 inches.

The length of the king-sized mattress is the same as the length of the queen-sized mattress, which is x + 20 inches.

We can use the formula for the area of a rectangle to find the area of each mattress:

Area of queen-sized mattress = length x width = (x + 20) x x = x^2 + 20x

Area of king-sized mattress = length x width = (x + 20) x (x + 16) = x^2 + 36x + 320

Area of king-sized mattress = Area of queen-sized mattress + 1,280

Substituting the expressions we found for the areas, we get:

x^2 + 36x + 320 = x^2 + 20x + 1280

Simplifying and solving for x, we get:

16x = 960

x = 60

So the width of the queen-sized mattress is 60 inches, and its length is 80 inches.

The width of the king-sized mattress is 76 inches, and its length is 80 inches.

The area of the queen-sized mattress is:

60^2 + 20(60) = 4,800 square inches

The area of the king-sized mattress is:

76^2 + 36(76) + 320 = 6,080 square inches

And we can verify that the area of the king-sized mattress is indeed 1,280 square inches more than that of the queen-sized mattress:

6,080 - 4,800 = 1,280

The arc length of the polar curve [tex]r = e^{8\theta}[/tex] from θ = 0 to θ = 5 is[tex]\int_0^5 \sqrt{(64e^{16\theta}+1)} d\theta[/tex].

To find the arc length of a polar curve, we use the formula:

L = [tex]\int_a^b \sqrt{[r(\theta)^2+(dr(\theta)/d\theta)^2]} d\theta[/tex]

where r(θ) is the equation of the polar curve, and a and b are the starting and ending values of θ, respectively.

In this case, the equation of the polar curve is[tex]r = e^{8\theta}[/tex], so we have [tex]r(\theta) = e^{8\theta}[/tex]}. To find dr(θ)/dθ, we use the chain rule of differentiation:

dr(θ)/dθ = d/dθ ([tex]e^{8\theta}[/tex]) = [tex]8e^{8\theta}[/tex]

So now we have r(θ) and dr(θ)/dθ, which we can plug into the formula for arc length:

L = [tex]\int_0^5 \sqrt{[e^{16\theta}+(8e^{8\theta})^2] }[/tex]dθ

Simplifying the expression inside the square root, we get:

L = [tex]\int_0^5 \sqrt{(64e^{16\theta}+1) }[/tex]dθ

Unfortunately, this integral cannot be evaluated in terms of elementary functions, so we leave the answer in this form. We can, however, approximate it using Simpson's method and it comes out to be approximately 1.3526 * 10⁸.

The approximate number of items that should be manufactured so that the profit, P(x) = R(x) - C(x), is maximum is 47 items (option C).

To find the approximate number of items that should be manufactured to maximize profit, we need to first find the profit function P(x) by subtracting the total cost, C(x), from the total revenue, R(x). Then, we need to find the critical points of P(x) and determine which one corresponds to the maximum profit.

Step 1: Find the profit function P(x) = R(x) - C(x)
Given R(x) = 25 ln(6x + 1) and C(x) = ∫x, let's find P(x):
P(x) = R(x) - C(x)
P(x) = 25 ln(6x + 1) - ∫x
Step 2: Find the critical points of P(x)
To find the critical points, we need to take the derivative of P(x) and set it equal to 0:
P'(x) = d/dx [25 ln(6x + 1) - ∫x]
Since the derivative of ln(6x + 1) is (6/(6x + 1)), and the derivative of ∫x is x:
P'(x) = 25 [tex]\times[/tex] (6/(6x + 1)) - x
Now, set P'(x) = 0 and solve for x:
25 [tex]\times[/tex] (6/(6x + 1)) - x = 0

Miguel will wait for 6 minutes in line, there are 6 employees working.

Joni will wait 3 minutes to order when 8 employees are working.

Here are the steps to answer your questions:

1. If Miguel waits 6 minutes in line to order, predict the number of employees working:

We have the trend line equation y = -1.5x + 15, where y is the waiting time in minutes, and x is the number of employees. We are given that Miguel waits for 6 minutes, so we'll plug y = 6 into the equation and solve for x:

6 = -1.5x + 15

To solve for x, first subtract 15 from both sides of the equation:

6 - 15 = -1.5x
-9 = -1.5x

Now, divide both sides by -1.5:

x = -9 / -1.5
x = 6

So, when Miguel waits 6 minutes in line, there are 6 employees working.

2. Joni arrives at the restaurant when 8 employees are working. Predict the amount of time Jodi will wait to order:

We'll use the same trend line equation and plug in x = 8 to find the waiting time for Joni:

y = -1.5(8) + 15

Multiply -1.5 by 8:

y = -12 + 15

Now, add 15:

y = 3

Joni will wait 3 minutes to order when 8 employees are working.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression represented by the given number line is f(x) = -k(x+2.5)(x-3) where k > 0.

The expression represented by the given number line can be determined by identifying the values that correspond to the endpoints of each arrow and the direction of the arrow.

Starting from the left endpoint, the arrow goes from -2.5 to -1. This means that the expression is positive between -2.5 and -1. To determine the exact expression, we need to know the interval of the arrow.

The arrow starts at 0 and ends at 3, which means the expression is positive between 0 and 3. Finally, the arrow goes from 3 to -2.5, which means the expression is negative between 3 and -2.5.

Putting all of this information together, we can write the expression as:

f(x) = k(x+2.5)(x-3)

where k is a constant that determines the overall scale of the expression. Since the expression is positive between -2.5 and -1, we know that k must be negative. Since the expression is negative between 3 and -2.5, we know that k must be positive.

Therefore, the expression represented by the given number line is:

f(x) = -k(x+2.5)(x-3) where k > 0.

To test the claim that the outcomes of rolling the modified die are not equally likely, we can use a chi-square goodness-of-fit test. We will use a significance level of 0.05.

The null hypothesis is that the outcomes are equally likely. The alternative hypothesis is that the outcomes are not equally likely.

First, we need to calculate the expected frequencies assuming that the outcomes are equally likely.

Since the die has six sides, each outcome has a probability of 1/6. Therefore, the expected frequency for each outcome is 200/6 = 33.33.

To calculate the test statistic [tex]x^2[/tex], we can use the formula:

[tex]x^2 = Σ (observed frequency - expected frequency)^2 / expected frequency[/tex]

where Σ is the sum over all outcomes.

Using the observed and expected frequencies given in the problem, we get:

[tex]x^2 = (27 - 33.33)^2 / 33.33 + (31 - 33.33)^2 / 33.33 + (42 - 33.33)^2 / 33.33 + (40 - 33.33)^2 / 33.33 + (28 - 33.33)^2 / 33.33 + (32 - 33.33)^2 / 33.33[/tex]

[tex]x^2 = 3.02[/tex]

The degrees of freedom for this test is 6 - 1 = 5 (since there are 6 sides on the die).

Using a chi-square distribution table (or calculator), we can find the critical value for a significance level of 0.05 and 5 degrees of freedom to be 11.070.

Since the test statistic x^2 = 3.02 is less than the critical value of 11.070, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore, we do not have enough evidence to conclude that the outcomes of rolling the modified die are not equally likely.

To write the equation of a circle with a center at the point (-3, 6) and passing through the point (9, 1), we can use the general equation of a circle: (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2, where (h, k) is the center of the circle, and r is the radius.

1. Identify the center (h, k) as (-3, 6).
2. Calculate the radius using the distance formula between the center and the given point (9, 1):
  r = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
  r = √((9 - (-3))^2 + (1 - 6)^2)
  r = √((12)^2 + (-5)^2)
  r = √(144 + 25)
  r = √169
  r = 13

3. Substitute the values of h, k, and r into the equation of a circle:
  (x - (-3))^2 + (y - 6)^2 = 13^2
  (x + 3)^2 + (y - 6)^2 = 169

The 1,000 feet and 200 feet distances of the top and the base of the skyscraper from the point on the ground, indicates, using Pythagorean Theorem that the height of the skyscraper is 400·√6 feet

Pythagorean Theorem states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse side of a right triangle is equivalent to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

The distance of the top of the skyscraper from a point on the ground = 1000 feet

The distance of the base of the skyscraper from the same point = 200 feet

Therefore, according to the Pythagorean Theorem, in the right triangle formed by the ray from the top of the skyscraper to the point on the ground, the height, h, of the skyscraper, and the distance of the point on the ground from the skyscraper, we get;

1000² = h² + 200²

h² + 200² = 1000²

h² = 1000² - 200² = 960,000

The profit is positive, the firm makes a profit of $21,243 at the optimal level of production.

Cost of producing 40 units

We know that the total cost of producing 30 units is $6000. Let's denote the total cost function by C(x), where x is the number of units produced. Then, we have:

C(30) = $6000

The marginal cost function is given as MC = 8x + 70. Integrating this function, we get the total cost function as:

C(x) = [tex]4x^2[/tex] + 70x + C

To find the value of the constant C, we use the fact that C(30) = $6000:

4[tex](30)^2[/tex] + 70(30) + C = $6000

Solving for C, we get:

C = $300

Therefore, the total cost function is:

C(x) = [tex]4x^2[/tex] + 70x + $300

To find the cost of producing 40 units, we evaluate C(40):

C(40) = [tex]4(40)^2[/tex] + 70(40) + $300

C(40) = $7000

Therefore, the cost of producing 40 units is $7000.

Optimal level of production:

The optimal level of production is the value of x that maximizes the profit function. To find this value, we need to set the marginal cost equal to the marginal revenue:

MC = MR

8x + 70 = -6x + 55

Solving for x, we get:

x = 5/7

Since the optimal level of production should be a whole number, we round x up to 1 unit.

Therefore, the optimal level of production is 1 unit.

Profit function:

The profit function is given as:

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

where R(x) is the revenue function and C(x) is the cost function.

The marginal revenue function is given as MR = -6x + 55. Integrating this function, we get the revenue function as:

R(x) = -[tex]3x^2[/tex] + 55x + D

To find the value of the constant D, we use the fact that the revenue at x = 80 is $14,920:

[tex]-3(80)^2[/tex] + 55(80) + D = $14,920

Solving for D, we get:

D = $21,520

Therefore, the revenue function is:

R(x) = -[tex]3x^2[/tex] + 55x + $21,520

Substituting the cost function and revenue function in the profit function, we get:

P(x) = ([tex]-3x^2[/tex] + 55x + $21,520) - (4x^2 + 25x + $300)

Simplifying, we get:

P(x) = -[tex]7x^2[/tex] + 30x + $21,220

Therefore, the profit function is P(x) = [tex]-7x^2[/tex] + 30x + $21,220.

Profit or loss at the optimal level:

To find the profit or loss at the optimal level, we evaluate the profit function at x = 1:

P(1) = [tex]-7(1)^2[/tex] + 30(1) + $21,220

P(1) = $21,243

Since the profit is positive, the firm makes a profit of $21,243 at the optimal level of production.

Latoya may experience some fluctuations in her winnings and losses in the short run, in the long run, her average winnings will approach $0.50 per selection.

What is the expected value of playing the game and what Latoya can expect after playing the game many times?

(a) To find the expected value of playing the game, we need to multiply the amount that Latoya can win or lose by the probability of each outcome, and then add up the results. Let p(i) be the probability of selecting the ball with the number i. Since there are 8 balls in total and each ball is equally likely to be selected, we have:

p(i) = 1/8 for i = 1, 2, ..., 8

Now we can calculate the expected value:

E(X) = ∑[i=1 to 5] (i * p(i)) + ∑[i=6 to 8] (-1 * p(i))

= (1/8)(1) + (1/8)(2) + (1/8)(3) + (1/8)(4) + (1/8)(5)

- (1/8)(1) - (1/8)(1) - (1/8)(1)

= 0.5

Therefore, the expected value of playing the game is $0.50.

(b) In the long run, after playing the game many times, Latoya can expect to break even (neither gain nor lose money) on average per selection. This means that over a large number of selections, she can expect to win some money on some selections and lose some money on others, but on average, her total winnings and losses will balance out to zero.

To see why this is the case, consider that the expected value of a single selection is $0.50. If Latoya plays the game many times, the law of large numbers tells us that the average winnings per selection will converge to the expected value of $0.50. So even though Latoya may experience some fluctuations in her winnings and losses in the short run, in the long run, her average winnings will approach $0.50 per selection.

x⁴- 2x³ - 16x² + 2x + 15.

First, look for any common factors among the terms. In this case, there are none.

Next, try factoring by grouping. To do this, group the first two terms and the last three terms: (x⁴ - 2x³) - (16x² - 2x - 15).

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group: x³(x - 2) - 1(16x² - 2x - 15).

Now, we have a difference of two expressions, but there isn't a common factor to factor further. Therefore, we must use other methods to factor the quadratic expression 16x²- 2x - 15.

Factor the quadratic expression using the "ac method." Multiply the leading coefficient (16) by the constant term (-15) to get -240. Find two numbers that multiply to -240 and add up to the linear coefficient (-2). These numbers are 12 and -20.

Rewrite the middle term using the two numbers found: 16x² + 12x - 20x - 15.

Group the terms in pairs: (16x² + 12x) + (-20x - 15).

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group: 4x(4x + 3) - 5(4x + 3).

Factor out the common binomial factor: (4x + 3)(4x - 5).

Now, put everything together: x³(x - 2) - (4x + 3)(4x - 5).

So, the factored form of the polynomial x⁴ - 2x³- 16x² + 2x + 15 is [x³(x - 2) - (4x + 3)(4x - 5)].

Answer:

  20°

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the measure of angle G in triangle GPQ with side lengths GP=74, PQ=31, QG=88 meters.

The law of cosines tells you the relevant relationship is ...

  PQ² = GP² +GQ² -2·GP·GQ·cos(G)

Solving for angle G gives ...

  G = arccos((GP² +GQ² -PQ²)/(2·GP·GQ))

  G = arccos((74² +88² -31²)/(2·74·88)) = arccos(12259/13024)

  G ≈ 19.735° ≈ 20°

The golfer must play the shot within an angle of about 20°.

Let's assume that the pieces am and N have heights of h_am and h_N respectively, and let k be the number of times the height of piece N fits into the height of piece am (i.e., k is the ratio of the height of piece am to the height of piece N).

We know that the volume of each stack is equal. Let's use the following variables:
- h for the height of each piece of A
- k for the height of each piece of N
- 10 for the number of pieces in stack A
- 8 for the number of pieces in stack N

The equation for the volume of each stack is:
Volume of stack A = h x 10
Volume of stack N = k x 8

Since we know the volumes are equal, we can set the two equations equal to each other:
h x 10 = k x 8

To create an equation relating h and k, we can solve for one variable in terms of the other:
h = (8/10)k
or
k = (10/8)h

Either equation shows how h and k are related to each other. For example, if we know the value of h, we can use the first equation to find k.

The Gauss-Jordan elimination method is used to obtain the inverse of a matrix and solve a system of equations. The solution for the given system is x1 = 2/3, x2 = 5/3, x3 = 2/3.

We can represent the given system of equations in the matrix form as

| 4   3   1 |   | x1 |   | 2 |

| 1   1   1 | * | x2 | = | 3 |

| 2   5   2 |   | x3 |   | 1 |

Let's perform Gauss-Jordan elimination to obtain the inverse of the matrix A.

Augment the matrix with an identity matrix of the same order:

| 4   3   1 |   | 1  0  0 |   | ? ? ? |

| 1   1   1 | * | 0  1  0 | = | ? ? ? |

| 2   5   2 |   | 0  0  1 |   | ? ? ? |

Use row operations to transform the left side of the augmented matrix into an identity matrix:

| 4   3   1 |   | 1  0  0 |   | ? ? ? |   | 1  0  0 |

| 1   1   1 | * | 0  1  0 | = | ? ? ? | =>| 0  1  0 |

| 2   5   2 |   | 0  0  1 |   | ? ? ? |   | 0  0  1 |

To achieve this, we can subtract 2 times the second row from the third row, and subtract 4 times the second row from the first row:

| 4   3   1 |   | 1  0  0 |   | ? ? ? |   | 1  0  0 |

| 1   1   1 | * | 0  1  0 | = | ? ? ? | =>| 0  1  0 |

| 0   3   0 |   | 0 -2  1 |   | ? ? ? |   | 0  0  1 |

Next, we can divide the second row by 3 to obtain a leading 1 in the second row, and subtract 3 times the second row from the first row:

| 1   0  -1 |   | 1 -1  1/3 |   | ? ? ? |   | 1  0  0 |

| 0   1  0  | * | 0  1  0   | = | ? ? ? | =>| 0  1  0 |

| 0   0  1  |   | 0 -2  1   |   | ? ? ? |   | 0  0  1 |

Finally, we can add the third row to the first row and subtract the third row from the second row

| 1   0  0 |   | 1 -1  4/3 |   | ? ? ? |   | 1  0  0 |

| 0   1  0 | * | 0  1  2   | = | ? ? ? | =>| 0  1  0 |

| 0   0  1 |   | 0 -2  1   |   | ? ? ? | =>| 0  0  1 |

Hence, we have obtained the inverse of the matrix A as

| 1 -1  4/3 |

| 0  1  2   |

| 0 -2  1   |

We can now find the solution vector x by multiplying the inverse of A with the vector b

| x1 |   | 1 -1  4/3 |   | 2 |

| x2 | = | 0  1  2   | * | 3 |

| x3 |   | 0 -2  1   |   | 1 |

Performing the matrix multiplication, we get

| x1 |   | 2/3 |

| x2 | = | 5/3 |

| x3 |   | 2/3 |

Therefore, the solution of the given system of equations is

x1 = 2/3

x2 = 5/3

x3 = 2/3

The coordinates of point M are:

Coordinates of M = (4.5 + sqrt(34)/5, 5)
Coordinates of M = (5.86, 5)

To find the coordinates of point M, we first need to find the coordinates of the midpoint of segment PQ.

The midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2).

Using this formula, we can find the midpoint of PQ as follows:

Midpoint = ((6 + 3)/2, (2 + 8)/2)
Midpoint = (4.5, 5)

Now we can use the fact that PM/MQ = 2/3 to find the coordinates of point M.

Let's start by finding the distance between P and the midpoint:

Distance between P and midpoint = sqrt((4.5 - 6)^2 + (5 - 2)^2)
Distance between P and midpoint = sqrt(4.25)

Since PM/MQ = 2/3, we know that PM is 2/5 of the total distance between P and Q, and MQ is 3/5 of the total distance.

Let's call the total distance between P and Q "d". Then we have:

PM = (2/5)d
MQ = (3/5)d

We can use these expressions to find the distance between M and the midpoint:

Distance between M and midpoint = PM - MQ
Distance between M and midpoint = (2/5)d - (3/5)d
Distance between M and midpoint = -(1/5)d

Finally, we can use the distance formula to find the coordinates of point M:

Coordinates of M = (4.5, 5) + (Distance between M and midpoint in the x direction, Distance between M and midpoint in the y direction)

In other words, the x-coordinate of M is 4.5 plus the distance between M and the midpoint in the x direction, and the y-coordinate of M is 5 plus the distance between M and the midpoint in the y direction.

We already know that the distance between M and the midpoint in the y direction is 0 (since M lies on the same horizontal line as the midpoint), so we only need to find the distance between M and the midpoint in the x direction:

Distance between M and midpoint in the x direction = sqrt((1/5)d^2)

Since d is just the distance between P and Q, we can find it using the distance formula:

d = sqrt((6 - 3)^2 + (2 - 8)^2)
d = sqrt(34)

So we have:

Distance between M and midpoint in the x direction = sqrt((1/5)(sqrt(34))^2)
Distance between M and midpoint in the x direction = sqrt(34)/5
