So this is what my first answer was supposed to be.
Profit = revenue - cost
So if we replace the words with your equations you’ll get this
Profit = 2x -(0.17x + 75)
To make that make since I’ll explain again.
$2 x # of cupcakes sold -($0.17 cost of each cupcake made x # of cupcakes sold + $75 for additional one time charge)
<span>f(x) = one eighth (x - 2)^2 - 1
Since a parabola is the curve such that all points on the curve have the same distance from the directrix as the distance from the point to the focus.With that in mind, we can quickly determine 3 points on the parabola. The 1st point will be midway between the focus and the directrix, So:
(2, (1 + -3)/2) = (2, -2/2) = (2,-1).
The other 2 points will have the same y-coordinate as the focus, but let offset on the x-axis by the distance from the focus to the directrix. Since the distance is (1 - -3) = 4, that means the other 2 points will be (2 - 4, 1) and (2 + 4, 1) which are (-2, 1) and (6, 1). The closest point to the focus will have the same x-coordinate as the focus, so the term will be (x-2)^2. This eliminates the functions "f(x) = -one eighth (x + 2)^2 - 1" and "f(x) = -one half (x + 2)^2 - 1" from consideration since their x term is incorrect, leaving only "f(x) = one eighth (x - 2)^2 - 1" and "f(x) = one half (x - 2)^2 + 1" as possible choices. Let's plug in the value 6 for x and see what y value we get from squaring (x-2)^2. So:
(x-2)^2
(6-2)^2 = 4^2 = 16
Now which option is equal to 1? Is it one eighth of 16 minus 1, or one half of 16 plus 1?
16/8 - 1 = 2 - 1 = 1
16/2 + 1 = 8 + 1 = 9
Therefore the answer is "f(x) = one eighth (x - 2)^2 - 1"</span>
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
A = 
Substitute the given values with h = a, then
16.5 = 
( multiply both sides by 2 )
33 = a(a + 8) ← distribute
33 = a² + 8a ( subtract 33 from both sides )
0 = a² + 8a - 33 ← in standard form
0 = (a + 11)(a - 3) ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for a
a + 11 = 0 ⇒ a = - 11
a - 3 = 0 ⇒ a = 3
However, a > 0 thus a = 3
Hence the height is 3 feet
