The profit (in thousands of dollars) of a company is given by P(x) = -8x2 + 32x + 14.
Find the maximum profit of the company.
O a. 40 thousand dollars
O b. 45 thousand dollars
O c. 46 thousand dollars

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The profit (in thousands of dollars) of a company is given by the function:

[tex]\displaystyle P(x) = -8x^2+32x+14[/tex]

And we want to find the maximum profit of the company.

Since the function is a quadratic with a negative leading coefficient, the maximum profit will occur at its vertex. Recall that the vertex of a quadratic is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle \text{Vertex} = \left(-\frac{b}{2a}, f\left(-\frac{b}{2a}\right)\right)[/tex]

Find the x-coordinate of the vertex. In this case, a = -8, b = 32, and c = 14. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle x=-\frac{(32)}{2(-8)}=\frac{32}{16}=2[/tex]

To find the maximum profit, substitute this value back into the function. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle P(2) = -8(2)^2+32(2) + 14 = 46[/tex]

Therefore, the maximum profit of the company is 46 thousand dollars.

Our answer is C.

A scientist has two solutions, which she has labeled Solution A and Solution B. Each contains salt. She knows that Solution A is 55% salt and Solution B is 70% salt. She wants to obtain 30 ounces of a mixture that is 60% salt. How many ounces of each solution should she use?

Answers

Answer:

Let x = the number of ounces of Solution A

Let y = the number of ounces of Solution B

x + y = 180        y = 180 - x

.60x + .85y = .75(180)

.60x + .85y = 135      Multiply both sides of the equation by 100 to remove the decimal points.

60x + 85y = 13500

60x + 85(180 - x) = 13500

60x + 15300 - 85x = 13500

-25x = -1800

x = 72ounces

y = 180 - 72

y = 108 ounces

The length of a rectangle is (x+1) cm, and its width is 5 cm less than its length.
a) Express the area of the rectangle, A cm^2 , in terms of x.
b) The area of the rectangle is 24 cm^2. Calculate the length and width of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

a) x^2-3x-4(you also can express it as (x+1)(x-4))

b)The length is 8 cm, the width is 3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The length is x+1

The width is (x+1-5)= x-4

The area is the product of the length and the width

(x+1)(x-4)= x^2-3x-4

b) The formula for counting the area is x^2-3x-4

It is equal to 24

S0 x^2-3x-4=24

x^2-3x-28=0

a=1 b=-3 c=-28

D= b^2-4ac= 3^2-4*(-28)= 9+112= 121

sqrtD= 11

x1= (-b-sqrtD)/2a=(3-11)/2=-4  The length is -4+1=-3<0, but the length must be positive, this root isn't suitable.

x2= (-b+sqrtD)/2a=(3+11)/2=7 The length is 7+1=8 (it is suitable)

8-5=3 - The width

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Try A:

x = -6, f(x) = -1:-

f(-6) =   -5/3(-6) + 9

= 10 + 9 = 19   NOT A.

Try B:

f(-3) = -5/3(-3) - 9

= 5 - 9 = -4  NOT B

Try C:

9(0) + 5/3 = 5/4   NOT C

Try D:

f(3) = 5 + 9 = 14

f(0) = 9, f(-6) = -1 and f(-3) = 4

Find a 3 digit number with all these properties: all 3 digits are different, the 1st digit is the square of the second digit in the 3rd digit on one more than twice the second digit

Answers

Answer:

425 or 937

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I listed out all the possible numbers for the first digits, namely, the squares under 10.

1*1=1

2*2=4

3*3=9

Since all the digits have to be different, the first digit cannot be 1 because 1 squared is 1. So that leaves us 4 and 9 to work with, which I tried out one at a time.

Starting with 4:

2 squared is 4.

42

2 times 2 plus 1 equals 5.

425

Starting with 9:

3 squared is 9.

93

2 times 3 plus 1 equals 7.

937

So here we have two numbers that both work and meet the requirements (unless I understood the problem wrong at the part where it says "...the second digit in the 3rd digit on one more than twice the second digit")!

I hope this helped! :D

Help me pls
I need the answer as quickly as possible ​

Answers

Answer:

Time and rate is 4 years and 4% respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

P = Rs 66000

so

T = R

I = 10560

so

I = PTR/100

Rs 10560 = (66000*T^2)/100

or, Rs 1056000 = 66000*T^2

or. 1056000/66000 = T^2

or, 16 = T^2

OR, T =√16

so T = 4

Then

T = R

so, R = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

-median is the middle number in the data set-

arrange the data set from least to greatest:

40, 30, 32, 39, 34, 35, 35, 37 ⇒ 30, 32, 34, 35, 35, 37, 39, 40

we start from the lowest number and the highest  number and work your way to the middle:

30, 32, 34, 35, 35, 37, 39, 40

notice that there is no middle number:

30, 32, 34, 35, ?, 35, 37, 39, 40

so what we do is add both 35's and then divide it by 2

35 + 35 = 70 ÷ 2 = 35

median: 35

When he did so, he also eliminated the y-terms and got the equation 0 = 0, so he thought that the system of equations must have an infinite number of solutions. To check his answer, he graphed the equations 3 x minus 2 y = 4 and 9 x minus 6 y = 12 with his graphing calculator, but he could only see one line. Why is this?

find out the area of ​​the following composite figures​

Answers

Answer:

First composite: 30cm^2
Second composite: 18cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area for the first composite = l • w where l = length w = width

We will first need to break it into two pieces!

One piece can be a rectangle shape and another piece can be the square above the rectangle.

Solve for the area of the rectangle!

Area of the rectangle = L • 8

The length isn’t given but we see that the whole length is 5 and if we subtracted the length from the square we can actually get the missing length for the rectangle.

Length of the rectangle = (5 - 2)

Length of the rectangle = 3

Area of the rectangle = 3 • 8

Area of the rectangle = 24cm^2

Now solve for the area of the square!

Area = L • W

Area = 2 • 3

Area = 6

Finally add the area of the two shapes!

24 + 6 = 30cm^2
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Area for the second composite = L • W

Again, we’ll need to break it into two pieces. One piece would be the top rectangle, another piece would be the bottom rectangle.

Area for the top rectangle = 2 • 4

Area for the top rectangle = 8cm^2

Now solve for the area of the bottom rectangle!

Area for the bottom rectangle = 2 • 5

Area for the bottom rectangle = 10cm^2

Finally add the area of the two shapes!

8 + 10 = 18cm^2

Which equation represents the data in

x 0 1 2 3 4
y -4 -2 0 2 4
F y= x -4
G y= 2x -2
H y = 2x - 4
I y= 4x -4

Answers

Answer:

y = 2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations are put in slope intercept form

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

Where m = slope and b = y intersect

So in order to find the equation of the data represented by the table we will have to find the slope and y intercept

Let's begin!

First let's find the slope

We can find the slope by using the slope formula

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) where the x and y values are derived from coordinates from the table

The points chosen may vary but I have chosen the points (0,-4) and (1,-2)

Now that we have chosen the points we will use to find the slope let's define the variables

remember coordinates are written like this: (x,y)

The x value of the second coordinate is 1 so x2 = 1

The x value of the first coordinate is 0

So x1 = 0

The y value of the second coordinate is -2 so y2 = -2

The y value of the first coordinate is -4

So y1 = -4

Now that we have defined each variable let's plug in the values into the formula

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

Variables: x2 = 1, x1 = 0, y2 = -2, y1 = -4

Substitute values

m = (-2 - (-4) / ( 1 - 0 )

Evaluate

The negative signs cancel out on top and it changes to +4

m = (-2 + 4)/(1-0)

Add top values

m = 2/(1-0)

Subtract bottom numbers

m = 2/1

Simplify fraction

m = 2

So we can conclude that the slope (m) = 2

Now let's find the y intercept or "b"

The y intercept is the value of y when x = 0

If you look at the table when x = 0 y = -4 meaning that the y intercept or "b" is -4

Now that we have found everything let's find the equation of the data represented by the table

The equation is in slope intercept form

y = mx + b

Define variables

m = 2 and b = -4

Substitute values

y = 2x - 4

The equation is y = 2x - 4
