The value of b so that 3 · x² + b · x - 24 has the same x-intercepts (only one x-intercept) is 12 √2.

<h3>How to determine a missing coefficient in a second order polynomial</h3>

Second order polynomials are represented graphically by parabolae and it may have two, one or no x-intercepts. The quantity of x-intercepts can be deducted from the discriminant of the quadratic formula, which is defined below:

For a · x² + b · x + c = 0, the discriminant is defined by:

d = b² - 4 · a · c (1)

There are three rules to determine the number of possible intercepts:

If d < 0, then there are no x-intercepts.
If d = 0, then there is only one x-intercept.
If d > 0, then there are two x-intercepts.

Then, we have to find a value of b so that (1) has the following form:

b² - 4 · 3 · (-24) = 0

b² - 288 = 0

b = 12√ 2

The value of b so that 3 · x² + b · x - 24 has the same x-intercepts (only one x-intercept) is 12 √2. $\blacksquare$

<h3>Remark</h3>

The answer choices do not correspond with the given statement, the phrase "same x-intercepts" may lead to confusion and possible graph cannot be found. A possible corrected statement is shown below:

The graph of g(x) = 3 · x² + b · x - 24 has only one x-intercept. What is the value of b?

What is the volume of the prism in cubic units?

k0ka [10]

You can multiply each of these values together to get the volume of the rectangular prism. The volume of the rectangular prism is 10 cubic units or units3. The units are cubic units because you multiplied the units 3 times when you multiplied the height, length, and width

In planning a restaurant, it is estimated that a profit of $8 per seat will be made if the number of seats is no more than 50 in

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

a. 65 seats

b. $422.50

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following two functions:

8 * x, {0 <= x <= 50}

x * (8 - 0.1 * (x - 50)), {x> 50}, solving we have:

-0.1 * x ^ 2 + 13 * x, {x> 50}

Now we derive both functions and we are left with:

8, {0 <= x <= 50}

-0.2 * x + 13 {x> 50}

we cannot equal to 0 the first function that is equal to 0, because it would be inconsistent, therefore we equal the second function to 0:

-0.2 * x + 13 = 0

0.2 * x = - 13

x = -13 / -0.2

x = 65

Now, test for increasing and decreasing on the intervals (0.65) and (65, infinity)

p '(60) = -0.2 * (60) + 13 = 1

since this value is positive the profit is increasing on (0.65)

p '(70) = -0.2 * (70) + 13 = -1

becuase this value is negative the profit is decreasing on (65, infinity)

Therefore 65 seats are needed to maximize profit

The maximum value would be:

P (65) = 0.1 * (65 ^ 2) + 13 * 65 = 422.5

That is, the maximum value is $ 422.50
