$x-number\ of\ skiers\\x+1250-numbers\ of\ snowboarders\\\\\frac{skiers}{snowboarders}=\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow\frac{x}{x+1250}=\frac{1}{2}\ \ \ \ |cross\ multiply\\\\2x=x+1250\ \ \ \ \ \ |subtract\ x\ from\ both\ sides\\\\x=1250\\\\x+1250=1250+1250=2500\\\\Answer:There\ are\ 1250\ skiers\ and\ 2500\ snowboarders.$

Answer:

The maximum variance is 250.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

$V(x)=1000x(1-x)$

$V(x)=1000x-1000x^2$

Differentiate the above function as shown:

$V'(x)=1000-2000x$

The double derivative of the provided function is:

$V''(x)=-2000$

To find maximum variance set first derivative equal to 0.

$1000-2000x=0$

$x=\frac{1}{2}$

The double derivative of the function at $x=\frac{1}{2}$ is less than 0.

Therefore, $x=\frac{1}{2}$ is a point of maximum.

Thus the maximum variance is:

$V(x)=1000(\frac{1}{2})-1000{\frac{1}{2}}^2$

$V(x)=250$

Hence, the maximum variance is 250.

How many numbers are between 1 and 3 ?

kramer

If we are talking about whole numbers, the only number in between 1 and 3 is 2 but if we are talking about numbers in general, there are an infinite amount of numbers (for example, 1.1, 1.12, 1.004, and 1.80543285 are all in between 1 and 3).

What is a mixed number for 5/2

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer: 2 1/2

Step-by-step explanation: Divide using long division. The whole number portion will be the number of times the denominator of the original fraction divides evenly into the numerator of the original fraction, and the fraction portion of the mixed number will be the remainder of the original fraction division over the denominator of the original fraction. Hope this helps!! PLZ mark me!!!
