The function f(x) = −x2 + 18x − 72 models the daily profit, in dollars, a gym makes for selling memberships, where x is the number of memberships sold, and f(x) is the amount of profit. Part A: Determine the vertex. What does this calculation mean in the context of the problem? (5 points)

Part B: Determine the x-intercepts. What do these values mean in the context of the problem?

Ialready asked this but i never got an answer. will give a high rating and perhaps brainliest. choose the linear inequality that describes the graph. the gray area represents the shaded region. y ≤ –4x – 2 y > –4x – 2 y ≥ –4x – 2 y < 4x – 2

Amachine that produces a special type of transistor (a component of computers) has a 2% defective rate. the production is considered a random process where each transistor is independent of the others. (a) what is the probability that the 10th transistor produced is the first with a defect? (b) what is the probability that the machine produces no defective transistors in a batch of 100? (c) on average, how many transistors would you expect to be produced before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (d) another machine that also produces transistors has a 5% defective rate where each transistor is produced independent of the others. on average how many transistors would you expect to be produced with this machine before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (e) based on your answers to parts (c) and (d), how does increasing the probability of an event a↵ect the mean and standard deviation of the wait time until success?

You just purchased two coins at a price of $670 each. because one of the coins is more collectible, you believe that its value will increase at a rate of 7.1 percent per year, while you believe the second coin will only increase at 6.5 percent per year. if you are correct, how much more will the first coin be worth in 15 years?
