A company sells widgets. The amount of profit, y, made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the given equation. Using this equation, find out what price the widgets should be sold for, to the nearest cent, for the company to make the maximum profit.

y=-15x^2+801x-5900​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The widgets should be sold for $26.7 for the company to make the maximum profit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic equation

[tex]f\left(x\right)=-15x^2+801x-59000[/tex]

As the leading coefficient is (-3), so the graph would be a downward Parabola.

Thus, the maximum profit would be at the vertex.

The selling price 'x' can be determined by determining the x-coordinate of the vertex.

In order to calculate the x-coordinate of the vertex, we can find this by

x = -b/2a

where a = -15 and b = 801

x = -801 / 2(-15)

x = -801/-30

x = 801/30

x = 267/10

x = 26.7

Therefore, the widgets should be sold for $26.7 for the company to make the maximum profit.

Solve the system of linear equations by substitution x-y=2 x+2y=5

Answers

Can anyone help me with my questions

Answer:

x = 3

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x - y = 2    ---------------(I)

x + 2y= 5 ----------------(II)

x - y = 2

   x = 2 + y       _________(III)

Substitute x = 2 + y in equation (II)

2 + y + 2y = 5           {combine like terms}

     2 + 3y  = 5

           3y  = 5 -2

            3y = 3

              y = 3/3

y = 1

Substitute y = 1 in equation (III)

x = 2 + 1

x = 3

3. As a fundraiser the school has a pie eating contest. Matt eats 2.75 pies in 300 seconds. b. Use place value, multiplication with powers of 10, or equivalent fractions to explain what is happening mathematically to the decimal points in the divisor and dividend before dividing.​

Answers

Answer:

Using equivalent fractions, the time Matt takes to eat 1 pie is 1200/11 which is the same as [tex]109\frac{1}{11}[/tex] seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of pies Matt eats = 2.75 pies

The time duration Matt eats 2.75 pies = 300 seconds

Mathematically, the time duration for Matt to eat one pie is given as follows;

The time to eat 2.75 pies = 300 seconds

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2.75 gives;

The time to eat 2.75/2.75 pie = 300/2.75 seconds

2.75/2.75 = 1, therefore, we have;

The time to eat 1 pie = 300/2.75 seconds

The equivalent fraction of 3000/2.75 = 1200/11

Therefore;

The time Matt takes to eat 1 pie = 1200/11 seconds

Answer:

Choice B

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why < 3 is equal to < 6 is because they are alternate interior angles.

The first choice are supplementary angles they add up to 180 so they can't be equal.

The third one is false because we don't actually know the measurements of the angles but they both need to be 45° to add up to 90 since they are equal to each other.

The last one is also incorrect because they are vertical angles just like the third choice and they aren't on a line so they can't add up to 180.

BMI

Answers

Answer:

(f + g)(x) = x² + 4x - 4B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the question

f(x) = 4x + 4

g(x) = x² - 6

→ We need to find (f + g)(x) which means f(x) + g(x)

(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)

f(x) + g(x) = (4x + 2) + (x² - 6)

∴ f(x) + g(x) = 4x + 2 + x² - 6

→ Add the like terms

∵ f(x) + g(x) = 4x + x² + (2 - 6)

∴ f(x) + g(x) = 4x + x² + (-4)

→ Remember (+)(-) = (-)

∴ f(x) + g(x) = 4x + x² - 4

→ Arrange the terms from greatest power of x

∴ f(x) + g(x) = x² + 4x - 4

(f + g)(x) = x² + 4x - 4

Louis is constructing the perpendicular bisector

of GH . He has already constructed an arc as

shown.

What should Louis do for his next step?

Answers

Solution :

It is given that Louis is constructing a perpendicular bisector of a line GH.

Let the line GH be x units of length.

Louis is constructing a perpendicular bisector. So he should follow the following steps :

1. Louis should take the help of a compass and place the needle of the compass on one end of the line and take a measurement that is equal to the more than half the length of the line GH.

2. Then keeping the compass needle at one end of he line, Louis have to draw an arc  above and below the line GH.

3. Now with the same measurement in the compass, place the compass needle on the other end and similarly cut two arcs above and below intersecting the previous arcs.

4. Now join the intersecting point with a straight line.

5. This is the perpendicular bisector of the given line GH.

Quadratic Equation

The sum of the ages of two friends is 13 years and the product
of their ages is 42. Find their ages.​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of ages of two friends is 13 years.

The product of their ages is 42.

Let the age of 1st friend and 2nd friend is x, y respectively.

1 st condition= The sum of ages of two friends is 13 yrs.

i.e x+y = 13........ (I)

2nd condition= The product of their ages is 42.

i.e X*y = 42........(ii)

From equation (I)

X+y = 13

or, X = 13-y........ (iii)

Putting the equation (iii) in equation (ii).

X*y= 42

(13-y) * y = 42

13y - y^2 = 42

[tex] {y}^{2} - 13y + 42 = 0[/tex]

[tex] {y}^{2} - (7 + 6)y + 42= 0[/tex]

[tex] {y}^{2} - 7y - 6y + 42 = 0[/tex]

[tex]y(y - 7) - 6(y - 7) = 0[/tex]

[tex](y - 6) (y - 7) = 0[/tex]

Either; y-6 = 0

y = 6

Or;

y-7=0

y = 7

Keeping the value of y as "7" in equation (ii)

x*y = 42

7x = 42

X = 42/7

Therefore, the value of X is 6.

Therefore, either 1st friend is 6 years and 2nd is 7 years.
