The profit p ( in hundreds of dollars ) that a company makes depends on the expenditure x ( in hundreds of dollars ) that the company spends advertising according to the model p(x) = -0.5x^2 +20x+230. What expenditure for advertising will yield maximum profit?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Expenditure x (in hundreds of dollars) = $2,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Profit p (in hundreds of dollars)

Expenditure x (in hundreds of dollars)

p(x) = -0.5x² + 20x + 23

Find:

Expenditure for advertising .

Computation:

x = -(Cofficient of x) / 2(Cofficient of x²)

x = -(20) / 2(-0.5)

x =  20

Expenditure x (in hundreds of dollars) = 20 × $100

Expenditure x (in hundreds of dollars) = $2,000

The area of a circle is 18pi square inches. If the area of a sector of this circle is 6pi square inches, then which of the following must be the sector's central angle?
Please help I’ll give you brainliest promise !

Answers

Answer:

240 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, the area of a circle is

A = 2 * pi * r^2

we need to calculate the radius of the circle first

18pi = 2pi * r^2

divide both sides by 2pi

r^2 = 9

r = 3 inches

Area of sector = angle/360 * pi * r^2

6pi = angle/360 * pi * 3^2

6pi = angle/360 * 9pi

(360 * 6pi)/9pi = angle

40 * 6 = 240 degrees

Solve this system of equations by

B) Bisecting a ray
C) Copying an angle
D) Bisecting an angle

Answers

Answer:

Bisecting an Angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

This image shows the Bisection of an Angle. The 'x' shaped mark between the angle is formed when a protractor is used to mark the place in which a ray must pass through the center of the 'x' to be an equal bisection of the angle. This shows that the process that is being undergone is finding the bisection of the angle.

A box contains 20 miniature golf putt-putt balls; 10 are

yellow, 6 are red, and 4 are pink. What is the probability of

picking a red golf ball, replacing it, and then picking a

yellow golf ball? Written as a percent?

Answers

Answer: The answer is provided below

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, a box contains 20 miniature golf putt-putt balls out of which 10 are yellow, 6 are red, and the remaining 4 are pink.

The probability of picking a red golf ball will be:

= 6/20 × 100

= 600/20

= 30%

If the red ball is replaced, the probability of picking a yellow golf ball will be:

= 10/20 × 100%

= 50%

x/3 +2y/3= -1 and x-y/3=9 solve. by elimination method​

Answers

Answer:

X=51/7, Y= -36/7

Step-by-step explanation:

X/3 + 2y/3 = -1 equ 1

X - y/3 = 9 equ 2

eliminate X/3.

X/3 + 2y/3 = -1..... x 1 ( co-efficient of X in equ2 )

X - y/3 = 9 ...... x 1/3 ( co-efficient of X in equ1 )

X/3 + 2y/3 = - 1 equ 3

-

X/3 - y/9 = 3 equ 4

0 + 7y/9 = -4

y = -36/7

( input the value of y into equ 4 )

X/3 -y/9 = 3

X/3 - (-36/7)/9 = 3

X/3 + 36/63 = 3

X/3 = 3 - 36/63

X/3 = 153/63

63X = 459

X = 459/63

X = 51/7.

14.  Each leg is   [tex]21\sqrt{2}[/tex]  units long.

15 (a). The longer leg is [tex]7\sqrt{3}[/tex]  units long

15 (b). The hypotenuse is [tex]14[/tex] units long

=====================================================

Explanations:

For a 45 degree right triangle, aka 45-45-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is equal to sqrt(2) times the short leg. Algebraically we can say

[tex]y = x\sqrt{2}[/tex] where x is the leg and y is the hypotenuse

Let's solve for x

[tex]y = x\sqrt{2}\\\\x\sqrt{2} = y\\\\x = \frac{y}{\sqrt{2}}\\\\x = \frac{y\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}*\sqrt{2}} \ \text{rationalizing denominator}\\\\x = \frac{y\sqrt{2}}{2}\\\\[/tex]

Now plug in the given hypotenuse y = 42, this leads to,

[tex]x = \frac{y\sqrt{2}}{2}\\\\x = \frac{42\sqrt{2}}{2}\\\\x = \frac{42}{2}\sqrt{2}\\\\x = 21\sqrt{2}\\\\[/tex]

---------------------------

For a 30-60-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is double that of the short leg. So the hypotenuse is 2*7 = 14.

The longer leg is equal to sqrt(3) times the short leg. The longer leg is [tex]7\sqrt{3}[/tex]
