Problem 2

An online retailer advertises the following shipping and handling fees for every order:


Order Amount ($)

0 – 49.99

50 – 75.99

76+

Shipping and Handling ($)

3.95

11.95

5.95


The sales tax in Arizona on online orders is 5.6%. Use this information to answer the following questions.

**Assume that the shipping and handling is added after the sales tax is applied to the order.

Part a)

Using the information above, write an equation that represents the total cost as a function of the order amount in a customer’s “cart”. (Remember: Identify your input and output variables, and use proper notation – I recommend you handwrite your function and add a picture in to this document)



Part b)

Genevieve, who lives in Prescott, has a cart total of $74.50. How much will her total cost be? (Remember: Show all your work for full credit)


Part c)

Rafael, who lives in Tucson, paid $89.20 for his items. How much was his cart total? (Remember: Show all work, and make sure you get all of the answers)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the 'cart' total is x and total payment is y.

The sales tax is 5.6% added to the 'cart' amount and then shipping and handling fee added.

Part A

There are three intervals as below and function added accordingly:

0 < x ≤ 49.99      ⇒ y = x + 5.6% + 3.95 = 1.056x + 3.9550 ≤ x ≤ 75.99    ⇒ y = x + 5.6% + 11.95 = 1.056x + 11.95x ≥ 76                  ⇒ y = x + 5.6% + 5.95 = 1.056x + 5.95Part Bx = 74.50, this falls in the second intervaly = 74.50*1.056 + 11.95 = $90.62 (rounded )Part C

y = 89.20, this is close to the number we got in part B and we assume it is same - the middle interval.

89.20 = 1.056x + 11.951.056x = 89.20 - 11.951.056x = 77.25x = 77.25 / 1.056x = 73.15 (rounded )

-----------------------------------------

Note. Shipping and Handling charges seems incorrectly ordered. If so the answers above all should change accordingly.

Find the equation of a line perpendicular to -3x + 5y = -1 that contains the point (0, -5)

Answers

Answer:

y = -5/3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

convert -3x + 5y = -1 to slope-intercept form:

5y = 3x - 1

y = 3/5x - 1/5

slope of a line perpendicular to the above equation would be -5/3

y = mx + b

-5 = -5/3(0) + b

b = -5

y = -5/3x - 5

Scientists are conducting an experiment with a gas in a sealed container. The mass of the gas is measured, and the scientists realize that the gas is leaking over time in a linear way. Its mass is leaking by 9.7 grams per minute. Eight minutes since the experiment started, the remaining gas had a mass of 339.5 grams. Let x be the number of minutes that have passed since the experiment started, and let y be the mass of the gas in grams at that moment. Use a linear equation to model the weight of the gas over time.
a. This line's slope-intercept equation is ___________
b. 31 minutes after the experiment started, there would be ____________ grams of gas left.
c. If a linear model continues to be accurate,______________ minutes since the experiment started, all gas in the container will be gone.

Answers

Answer: a. This line's slope-intercept equation: y=-9.7x+417.1

b. 31 minutes after the experiment started, there would be 116.4 grams of gas left.

c. If a linear model continues to be accurate,43 minutes since the experiment started, all gas in the container will be gone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equation: y=mx+c  (slope-intercept equation)

, where m= rate of change in y with respect to change in x , c= Initial value.

Let y=   Mass of remaining gas after x minutes.

m= -9.7 (given)

At x= 8, y=339.5

Thus,

[tex]339.5=(-9.7)(8)+c\\\\\Rightarrow\ 339.5=-77.6+c\\\\\Rightarrow\ c= 339.5+77.6=417.1[/tex]

a. This line's slope-intercept equation: y=-9.7x+417.1

b. At x= 31 minutes

y=-9.7(31)+417.1

⇒ y=-300.7+417.1

⇒ y=116.4

31 minutes after the experiment started, there would be 116.4 grams of gas left.

c. Put y=0, we get

[tex]0=-9.7x+417.1\\\\ x=\dfrac{417.1}{9.7}\\\\ x=43[/tex]

If a linear model continues to be accurate,43 minutes since the experiment started, all gas in the container will be gone.

When it can come at the same time, two events are exclusive to each other. A whole term, that implies excluding each other is disjoined. If had some are united, the chance of them both happening on one is 0, throughout this question, both heart and club can't be cards at the very same time.

A committee of 3 is to be formed from 5 men and 6 women. (a) What is the probability that a random committee is made up of 2 women and 1 man? (b) Suppose now that the committee consists of different positions: Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, and Treasurer. What is the probability that the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson are both women and the Treasurer is a man?

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.4545 = 45.45% probability that a random committee is made up of 2 women and 1 man.

b) 0.1515 = 15.15% probability that the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson are both women and the Treasurer is a man

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

If the order of the people chosen is important, we use the permutations formula. If the order is not important, we use the combinations formula.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

[tex]P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}[/tex]

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

(a) What is the probability that a random committee is made up of 2 women and 1 man?

Order is not important, so we use the combinations formula.

Desired outcomes:

2 women from a set of 6, and a men from a set of 5. So

[tex]D = C_{6,2}*C_{5,1} = \frac{6!}{2!4!}*\frac{5!}{1!4!} = 15*5 = 75[/tex]

Total outcomes:

3 people from a set of 6 + 5 = 11. So

[tex]T = C_{11,3} = \frac{11!}{3!8!} = 165[/tex]

Probability:

[tex]p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{75}{165} = 0.4545[/tex]

0.4545 = 45.45% probability that a random committee is made up of 2 women and 1 man.

(b) Suppose now that the committee consists of different positions: Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, and Treasurer. What is the probability that the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson are both women and the Treasurer is a man?

Now, the order is important, which means that we use the permutations formula.

Desired outcomes:

2 women from a set of 6, and a men from a set of 5. So

[tex]D = P_{6,2}*P_{5,1} = \frac{6!}{4!}*\frac{5!}{4!} = 30*5 = 150[/tex]

Total outcomes:

3 people from a set of 11. So

[tex]T = P_{11,3} = \frac{11!}{8!} = 990[/tex]

Probability:

[tex]p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{150}{990} = 0.1515[/tex]

0.1515 = 15.15% probability that the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson are both women and the Treasurer is a man

An elementary school class ran 1 mile in an average of 11 minutes with a standard deviation of 3 minutes. Rachel, a student in the class, ran 1 mile in 8 minutes. A junior high school class ran 1 mile in an average of 9 minutes, with a standard deviation of 2 minutes. Kenji, a student in the class, ran 1 mile in 8.5 minutes. A high school class ran 1 mile in an average of 7 minutes with a standard deviation of 4 minutes. Nedda, a student in the class, ran 1 mile in 8 minutes.

Required:
a. Why is Kenji considered a better runner than Nedda, even though Nedda ran faster than he?
b. Who is the fastest runner with respect to his or her class? Explain why.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

Kenji ran faster than the class average by 0.25 of a standard deviation while Nedda was slower than the average in her class.

b.

Rachel: average - 1st deviation

Kenji: average - 0.25 standard deviation

Nedda: slower than average so it's definitely not her.

Since Rachel is faster than the average and differs by the most standard deviations compared with Kenji,

So, Rachel is the faster one.

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-2,3) a
and
(-9,6).

Answers

Answer:   Slope = -3/7

===================================================

Apply the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (6-3)/(-9-(-2))

m = (6-3)/(-9+2)

m = 3/(-7)

m = -3/7

This means each time you go down 3 units, you go to the right 7 units.

Slope = rise/run = -3/7

rise = -3 and run = 7

LMNP is a rectangle. Find the length of each diagonal. LN=x and MP=2x-9

Answers

Answer:

LN = MP = 9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In rectangle LMNP, LN and MP are diagonals .

Measures of the diagonals of a rectangle are equal.

Therefore,

MP = LN

2x - 9 = x

2x - x = 9

x = 9

LN=x = 9 units

MP=2x-9 = 2*9 - 9 = 18 - 9 = 9 units

Write an equation in slope-intercept form that describes the relationship between the number of minutes, x, and the amount charged, y.​

Answers

Answer:

y = 1/20x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of minutes is your x-value. The amount charged is your y-value.

Let's convert the numbers in the table into coordinates.

(30, 7.5)

(120, 12)

(220, 17)

Now, we will take two points and use the slope formula to plug into the slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b

I chose the first and last points given. All three points do not lie on the same line, but using the first and last point should be closer to the line of best fit.

(30, 7.5) & (220, 17)

m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

m = (17 - 7.5) / (220 - 30)

m = (9.5) / (190)

m = 0.05 = 5/100 = 1/20

m = 1/20

Plug m into your equation.

y = 1/20x + b

To find b, plug in a point for x and y.

17 = 1/20(220) + b

17 = 11 + b

b = 6

Plug b into your equation.

y = 1/20x + 6
