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 the company to make the maximum profit. y=-10x^2+689x-6775 The selling price should be $

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = $34.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

The company makes a profit of $y by selling widgets at a price of $x. The profit model is represented by a parabola ( quadratic ) equation as follows:

                       [tex]y = -10x^2 + 689x -6775[/tex]

We are to determine the profit maximizing selling price ( x )

From the properties of a parabola equation of the form:

                      [tex]y = ax^2 + bx + c[/tex]

The vertex ( turning point ) or maximum/minimum point is given as:

                     [tex]x = -\frac{b}{2a} \\\\x = - \frac{689}{2*(-10)} = \frac{689}{20}\\\\x = 34.45[/tex]

The profit maximizing selling price of widgets would be x = $34.45.

I don’t want the answer to this just how to work it out. The required staff to student ratio is 2:15. If 340 people attended the excursion, how many teachers were there?? Thanks

Answers

Answer:

40 teachers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The required staff to student ratio is 2:15340 people attended the excursion.

We are to find the number of teachers (staff) who attended the excursion).

For every 2 staff, there are 15 students

The number of teachers who attended the excursion is [tex]\frac{2}{17}[/tex]  × 340 = 40 teachers

The number of students who attended the excursion is [tex]\frac{15}{17}[/tex] × 340 = 300

If y = 6x - 3, which of the following sets represents possible inputs and outputs of the function, represented as ordered pairs {(0, 3), (1, -9), (2,-15) (0, -3), (2, 15), (4,21)} (0, -3). (2,9),(4,21)} {(0.3),(-2, 15), (4, 21)}

Answers

Answer : (0, -3) ; (4,21) and (2,9)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 6x- 3

y =0*x-3 = -3           (0,3) is not a possible set

y = 1*6-3 = 3            (1,-9)  is not a possible set

y = 6*2-3 = 9              (2,-15) is not a posiible set

(0.-3) is a possible set as verified in the first one

(2,15) is not a possible set since the output of 2 is 9

y = 4*6-3 = 21            so (4,21) is possible set

(2,9) is a possible set as verified in the third one

Answer: ( 0,-3), (2,9),(4,21)

Answers

Answer:

Nine

Step-by-step explanation:

3 dollars for children tickets : x

Step-by-step explanation:

This is only broken up into two main parts: the "a" and the "b" of the equation.The "a" is the y-coordinate when x is at 0 and the y-coordinate is 8 there so that fills it in.The "b" is the rate at which for every time x increases by 1, the y decreases by a portion of its current. In this case, every time the x increases by one, the y value cuts in half which means the rate is .5 or one half.Therefore, the answer is 8(.5)^x

in a survey of 420 people, 85% said they drink coffee. of these, 1/3 said they drink their coffee black. how many of the people surveyed drink it black?​

Answers

Answer:

A.) 119

420 * 0.85 is 357 and 357 * 1/3 is 119

Hope this helps ^^

Answer:

119

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of people who had taken the survey is 420 wich is equivalent to 100%.

The percentage of people who drink coffee is 85%.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Let x be the number of people drinking coffee

● 420 => 100%

● x => 85%

These values are proportional so we can cross-multiply them

● x*100 = 420*85

● x = (420*85)÷100

● x = 357

The number of people who drink coffee is 357.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Let y be the number of people who drink black coffee.

y is 1/3 of 357 since people who drink black coffee represent the third of the total number of people drinking coffee in general.

● To get y multiply 1/3 by the total number of people drinking coffee (357)

●y = (1/3)*357

● y = 119

119 is the number of people who drink black coffee

Hope this helps you

Answer:

  6(104) = 624

Step-by-step explanation:

The summation symbol ...

  [tex]\sum\limits_{n=1}^{104}{\text{expression}}[/tex]

means that the expression is evaluated for n=1, n=2, n=3, n=4, ... up to n=104 and all of those are added together. Here, the expression being evaluated is "6", which does not depend on n. So, this is simply the sum of 104 instances of 6:

  6 +6 +6 +6 ...+6 . . . . 104 terms in the sum

As we know, repeated addition can be accomplished by multiplication:

 = 6(104) = 624

A certain worker makes $12 per hour for the first 40 hours and $18 for every hour more than 40. Compute her pay for working 45 hours.

Answers

Answer: $570

Step-by-step explanation:

She worked 5 hours more than 40.  Thus, for her extra hours she made 18*5, or $90.  For her other 40, she made 40*12, or $480.  Thus, she made 480+90 dollars, or $570.

Hope it helps <3

Answer:

$570

Step-by-step explanation:

Since she is working 40 hours you need to multiply 12 · 40 first and should get 480

Since there is an extra 5 hours you need to do 18 · 5 = 90

Lastly, you add 480 and 90 and you will get 570

Using everyday knowledge, indicate whether the if-then statements are correct forward-only or both forward and reverse.

Statement 2: If the sprinklers are on, then the grass is wet.

Answers

Answer:

1. Both forward and backward

2. Only forward

Step-by-step explanation:

    The reason Statement 1 can be both forward and reverse is because is Bo and Mel are related then it will word forward and backward.

The reason Statement 2 can be only forward is because is the sprinklers are on then the grass is wet will work since it is saying ONLY the sprinklers are on. If it is reverse and the grass is wet if the sprinklers are ONLY on than that is false since if it rains than the grass can also be wet. So there are multiple ways that the grass can be wet hence the answers.

Note : 100kobo = N1

2) N1.50

That means the 4th girl received 5%.

25 is 5% of 500

500 Kobo is N5.00

2) He lost 55%, so they means he has 45% left.

67.5 is 45% of 150
