The policy that makes the largest proſit for the company is Policy A, by $1500.

<h3>Which policy makes the largest proſIt?</h3>

Profit is the amount paid by people to enter the sweepstakes less the amount they can win.

  • Policy A's profit: $5 - 0.1[(0.9 x $10) + (0.095 x $50) + (0.005 x $250)] = $5 - 1.5 = $3.5

$3.5 X 10,000 = $35,000

  • Policy B's profit:10 - 0.15[(0.8 x 10) + (0.18 x 50) + (0.02 x 250) = 10 - 3.30 = 6.7

$6.7 X 5000 = $33500

  • Difference in profits = $35,000 - 33500 = $1500

What is the product of 2x + y and 5x – y + 3? x2 + xy + x + y2 + y
miskamm [114]

Answer: 10x^2+3xy+6x-y^2+3y

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to remember the Product of powers property:

(a^m)(a^n)=a^{(m+n)}

Then, knowing this property, now you have to apply the Distributive property. So:

(2x+y)(5x-y+3)=\\\\=(2x)(5x)-(2x)(y)+(2x)(3)+(y)(5x)-(y)(y)+(y)(3)\\\\=10x^2-2xy+6x+5xy-y^2+3y

Finally, to simplify this expression, you need to add the like terms.

Therefore, you get that the product is:

=10x^2+3xy+6x-y^2+3y
