If you had only 5 and 11 cent stamps, it would be impossible to make a postage stamp for any amount less than 16 cents.

This is because 16 cents is the smallest amount that can be made with those two denominations of stamps.

To prove this, let's start by looking at the possible combinations of 5 and 11 cent stamps that can be used to make a postage stamp:

5 cent stamps x 11 cent stamps

1 x 0 = 0

1 x 1 = 11

2 x 0 = 10

2 x 1 = 16

As you can see, the smallest possible combination of 5 and 11 cent stamps is 2 five cent stamps and 1 eleven cent stamp, which totals 16 cents. Therefore, it is impossible to make a postage stamp for any amount less than 16 cents using only 5 and 11 cent stamps.

The inequality equations is

a) The point ( -9 , 4 ) lies on the inequality relation

b) The point ( 6 , -2 ) lies on the inequality relation

c) The point ( 0 , -4 ) does not lie on the relation

Inequalities are the mathematical expressions in which both sides are not equal. In inequality, unlike in equations, we compare two values. The equal sign in between is replaced by less than (or less than or equal to), greater than (or greater than or equal to), or not equal to sign.

In an inequality, the two expressions are not necessarily equal which is indicated by the symbols: >, <, ≤ or ≥.

Given data ,

Let the inequality equation be represented as A

a)

Now , let the first point be represented as P ( -9 , 4 )

The shaded region is below 4 in the y axis and less than -4 in the x axis

So , the point ( -9 , 4 ) does lies on the inequality equation graph

b)

Now , let the first point be represented as Q ( 6 , -2 )

The shaded region is below -8 in the y axis and less than 8 and more than 4  in the x axis

So , the point ( 6 , -2 ) does lies on the inequality equation graph

c)

Now , let the first point be represented as R ( 0 , -4 )

The shaded region is above -8 in the y axis and more than -4 in the x axis and less than -1

So , the point ( 0 , -4 ) does not lie on the inequality equation graph

The value of the Kensington car is decreasing according to the function ;

the exponential decay function is : V = Pe^(-0. 12t) ;

the purchase Price(P) of the car is = $20000  ;

we have to find the value of Kensington's car in 8 years ;

So , we substitute the value of P = 20000 and t = 8 years in the exponential decay function ,

we get ;

V  = 20000 × e^(-0. 12 × 8)

V = 20000 × e^(-0.96)

V = 20000/e^(0.96)

where A is a real integer and A ≠ 0.

f(x) = A(x2 + 16)(x - 3)(x + 1)

Answer:

A function is concave downward if its second derivative is negative. To find the values of x for which the graph of y = x^4 - 6x^2 + x is concave downward, we need to find the values of x for which the second derivative of y is negative.

The second derivative of y = x^4 - 6x^2 + x is y'' = 12x^2 - 12x

To find the values of x for which y'' is negative, we need to find the roots of the equation 12x^2 - 12x = 0.

We can factor the equation as: 12x(x-1) = 0

which gives us x = 0 and x = 1 as the roots.

Now, we need to test the sign of the second derivative in the intervals between the roots.

In the interval (0,1)

y'' = 12x^2 - 12x is positive, therefore the function is not concave downward in this interval.

In the interval (-infinity,0)

y'' = 12x^2 - 12x is negative, therefore the function is concave downward in this interval.

In the interval (1,infinity)

y'' = 12x^2 - 12x is negative, therefore the function is concave downward in this interval.

Therefore, the values of x for which the graph of y = x^4 - 6x^2 + x is concave downward are all values of x less than 0 or greater than 1.

Figures used to determine Jennifer's monthly gross compensation

Calculate the overall tax percentage deductions as a first step.

Using this equation

State tax + City tax + Social Security + Medicare = Total tax percentage deductions

Let's enter the formula.

Total tax deductions as a percentage equal: 3.5% + 2.5% + 6.2% + 1.45%

Total tax deductions as a percentage equal 13.65%

Now let's calculate the monthly gross pay

Total tax percentage deductions = 2.5% +1.2% +6.2% +1.45%

Total tax percentage deductions = 11.35%

Now let's calculate the monthly gross pay

Monthly gross pay= ($3,981.22 +87)/(1-11.35%)

Answer:

To factor the equation y = x^2 + 6x + 8, we can use the method of finding the factors of the constant term (8) that add up to the coefficient of the x term (6).

In this case, the factors of 8 are 1 and 8, and -1 and -8. But only -1 and -8 add up to 6, so we can factor the equation as:

(x + 8)(x + 1) = 0

So the solutions are x = -8 and x = -1.

y = 1.87sin(–0.29x + 6.13) + 4.79

y = 1.87sin(–0.29x + 4.79) + 6.13

The mean is 24.2 and the standard deviation is 8.7.

The mean amount of revenue each car generates can be calculated by multiplying the mean number of hours parked by the cost per hour. To find the mean number of hours parked, we need to multiply each possible number of hours by its probability and add them up.

E(X) = (1 * 0.229) + (2 * 0.113) + (3 * 0.114) + (4 * 0.076) + (5 * 0.052) + (6 * 0.027) + (7 * 0.031) = 4.84 hours

So, the mean revenue is 4.84 * 5 = 24.2 dollars

The standard deviation of the revenue can be calculated by finding the standard deviation of the number of hours parked and then multiplying by the cost per hour.

SD(X) = sqrt( (1^2 * 0.229) + (2^2 * 0.113) + (3^2 * 0.114) + (4^2 * 0.076) + (5^2 * 0.052) + (6^2 * 0.027) + (7^2 * 0.031) - (4.84)^2) = 1.74 hours
