The profitability, P, of a popular restaurant franchise can be modeled by the function P (t) = t4 – 10t3 + 28t2 – 24t, where t is the number of months since the restaurant opened. How many months after the franchise opens will it begin to show a profit?

A. 0 months
B. 2 months
C. 4 months
D. 6 months

Answers

Answer 1

In this question, the profit of the restaurant after t months is given by a polynomial function. To find when it begins to show a profit, we find the numerical values of the function for t, and it shows a profit when [tex]t > 0[/tex]

Profit after t months:

[tex]P(t) = t^4 - 10t^3 + 28t^2 - 24t[/tex]

0 months:

This is P(0). So

[tex]P(0) = 0^4 - 10*0^3 + 28*0^2 - 24*0 = 0[/tex]

1 month:

This is P(1). So

[tex]P(1) = 1^4 - 10*1^3 + 28*1^2 - 24*1 = -5[/tex]

2 months:

This is P(2). So

[tex]P(2) = 2^4 - 10*2^3 + 28*2^2 - 24*2 = 0[/tex]

3 months:

This is P(3). So

[tex]P(3) = 3^4 - 10*3^3 + 28*3^2 - 24*3 = -9[/tex]

4 months:

This is P(4). So

[tex]P(4) = 4^4 - 10*4^3 + 28*4^2 - 24*4 = -32[/tex]

5 months:

This is P(5). So

[tex]P(5) = 5^4 - 10*5^3 + 28*5^2 - 24*5 = -45[/tex]

6 months:

This is P(6). So

[tex]P(6) = 6^4 - 10*6^3 + 28*6^2 - 24*6 = 0[/tex]

7 months:

This is `P(7). So

[tex]P(7) = 7^4 - 10*7^3 + 28*7^2 - 24*7 = 175[/tex]

After 7 months it shows profit, so it starts showing profit on the 6th month, and thus, the correct answer is given by option D.

A -20 / B. -14 / C -10 / D -9 /

Answers

Given:

The temperature on a mountain peak was 7°F at 6:00 p.m.

By 8:00 p.m., the temperature had dropped to 0°F.

To find:

The temperature at 11:00 p.m. if the temperature continued to drop at about the same rate.

Solution:

Time between 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. is 2 hours.

Change in temperature in 2 hours is -7°F.

Change in temperature in 1 hours is [tex]-\dfrac{7}{2}^\circ[/tex]F.

Time between 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. is 3 hours.

Change in temperature in 3 hours is [tex]3\times \dfrac{-7}{2}^\circ[/tex]F, i.e., [tex]-\dfrac{21}{2}^\circ[/tex]F.

Now, the temperature at 11:00 p.m is:

[tex]0-\dfrac{21}{2}=-10.5[/tex]

Therefore, the temperature at 11:00 p.m. is -10.5°F.

Note: All options are incorrect.

Triangles and angles
Pls help

Answers

Answer:

The two bottom angles of this triangle are both represented by the same variable, in this case, an x. This means, that both of the bottom angles are equal to each other.

So we have:

32 + x + x = 180 (since the TOTAL angles of a triangle adds up to 180)

32 + 2x = 180 (combine the 2 x's together)

2x = 148 (subtract a 32 from both sides)

x = 74

find the vertex of this parabola y=-2x ^2-4x-5

Answers

Answer:

(1, -13)

Brainliest, please!

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the vertex, we use the formula, -b / 2a. In this problem, a = 2, and b = -4. c is -5, but we don't need to know it.

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

Vertex = (1, y)

Next, we plug 1 back into the parabola equation for x to solve for y.

y = -2(1)^2 - 4(1) -5

y = -2^2 - 4 - 5

y = -4 - 4 - 5

y = -8 - 5

y = - 13

Vertex = (1, -13)

Elliot is 2 times as old as Tanya. 10 years ago, Elliot was 4 times as old as Tanya​. How old is Elliot now?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we are going to make an age table:

                       Age Now                 Age 10 years ago

Tanya

Elliot

Filling the in the Age Now column comes from the first sentence. If Elliot is 2 times Tanya's age and we don't know Tanya's age, then Tanya's age is x and Elliot's age is 2x:

            Age Now                Age 10 years ago

Tanya         x

Elliot         2x

Filling in the Age 10 years ago column simply requires that we take their ages in the Age Now column and subtract 10 from each age:

         Age Now                Age 10 years ago

Tanya     x                              x - 10

Elliot      2x                           2x - 10

Since the question is How old is Elliot now based on the fact that 10 years ago....blah, blah, blah, we are using the ages in the 10 years ago column to write our equation. It says:

10 years ago, Elliot was 4 times as old as Tanya. Translated into mathspeak:

2x - 10 = 4(x - 10) and

2x - 10 = 4x - 40 and

-2x = -30 so

x = 15. That means that Elliot is 30 and Tanya is 15

To paint a wooden cube, Pinocchio needs 4 grams of paint. When it is dry, he cut the cube into 8 smaller pieces of smaller size. How much paint additional paint does Pinocchio need to paint the unpainted surfaces of the smaller cubes

Answers

Answer:

9 grams of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

6×8=48

48÷4= 12

48-12=36

36÷4=9

first multiply 6 by 8 because a cube has six faces and you cut that cube eight times

second after you cut that you will have 48 faces and for every six faces there are 4 grams of paint so you divide 48 by 4 and you get 12 this means that 12 of the faces are painted

next you subtract 12 from 48 and you get 36 this means that 36 faces are not painted

lastly you divide 36 by 4 and you will get 9 grams of paint

what is the probability notation for the probability for choosing a green marble?

Answers

The probability notation for the probability for choosing a green marble is [tex]P(G)=\frac{n(G)}{n(T)}[/tex], where [tex]n(G)[/tex] denotes the number of green marbles and [tex]n(T)[/tex] denotes the number of total marbles in the bag (or from wherever we are choosing).

The probability of occurrence of an event is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of outcomes, where the favorable outcomes are the outcomes that implies the occurrence of the event.

Here, the event is "choosing a green marble". So, the number of green marbles in the bag is the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of marbles in the bag is the total number of outcomes.

Denoting [tex]G[/tex] as the event of "choosing a green marble", the notation [tex]P(G)[/tex] denotes the probability of event [tex]G[/tex], that is, probability of choosing a green marble.

Denoting [tex]n(G)[/tex] and [tex]n(T)[/tex] as the number of green marbles and total number of marbles respectively, by the definition, the probability notation for the probability for choosing a green marble is given as [tex]P(G)=\frac{n(G)}{n(T)}[/tex].
