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 = -x2 + 72x – 458

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

In order to make the maximum profit, the company should sell each widget at (the currency isn't given, so I'll be assuming USD) $36.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of profit y made by the company from selling each widget at x price is modeled by the equation:

[tex]y=-x^2+72x-458[/tex]

Since this is a quadratic with a negative leading coefficient, its maximum will occur at its vertex point. We want to find the price that the widget should be sold to make the maximum profit. So, we want to find the x-coordinate of the vertex. This is given by the formula:

[tex]\displaystyle x=-\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

In this case, a = -1, b = 72, and c = -458. Substitute and evaluate:

[tex]\displaystyle x=-\frac{72}{2(-1)}=36[/tex]

In order to make the maximum profit, the company should sell each widget at (the currency isn't given, so I'll be assuming USD) $36.

Answers

Given:

θ is an angle in standard position.

Its terminal side passes through the point (6,1).

To find:

The exact value of secθ in simplest radical form.

Solution:

If θ is an angle in standard position and its terminal side passes through the point (x,y), then the exact value of secθ is:

[tex]\sec\theta =\dfrac{Hypotenuse}{Base}[/tex]

[tex]\sec\theta =\dfrac{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}{x}[/tex]

It is given that θ is an angle in standard position and its terminal side passes through the point (6,1), then the exact value of secθ is:

[tex]\sec\theta =\dfrac{\sqrt{6^2+1^2}}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\sec\theta =\dfrac{\sqrt{36+1}}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\sec\theta =\dfrac{\sqrt{37}}{6}[/tex]

Therefore, the exact value of secθ is [tex]\dfrac{\sqrt{37}}{6}[/tex].

What will he have to earn on his fourth test to have at least an 85 average? Let g represent the grade needed on his fourth test. Write an inequality that models the situation.

Answers

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:  

[tex]\frac{83+97+80+g}{4} \geq 85[/tex]

»»————- ★ ————-««  

Here’s why:  

The average is found by dividing the sum of the values by the number of values.

⸻⸻⸻⸻

[tex]\frac{83+97+80+g}{4} \geq 85[/tex]

⸻⸻⸻⸻

The numerator would consist of the test grades and the unknown 'g' and the denominator would be the number of tests he taken.

"At least" indicates a greater than or equal to inequality.
