The price the widgets should be sold for, to the nearest cent, for the company to make the maximum profit is 62.13

<h3>Quadratic equation</h3>

y = -14x² + 1035x - 10266

  • solve the quadratic equation

-14x² + 1035x - 10266 = 0

x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a

= -1035 ± √1035² -4(-14)(-10266) / 2(-14)

= -1035 ± √1071225 - 574896 / -28

= -1035 ± √496329 / -28

x = 1035 / 28 ± √496329 / 28

x = 11.80 or 62.13

The maximum value of x is 62.13

Katy's favorite rides at the amusement park are the roller coasters and water slide. The wait time for the roller coaster is 25
ioda

Answer:

She went on the slide 8 times and on the roller coaster 4 times

Step-by-step explanation:

We convert each statements to a mathematical equation.

Firstly, let's represent the number of times she went on the coaster with R and the number of times on the slide with S. We know quite well she went on 12 rides. Hence the summation of both number of times yield 12.

Mathematically, R + S = 12. ........(i)

Now we also know her total wait time was 3hours. Since an hour equals 60 minutes, her total wait time would equal 180 minutes.

To get a mathematical representation for the wait time, we multiply the number of roller coaster rides by 25 and that of the slides by 10.

Mathematically, 25R + 10S = 180 .......(ii)

Here we now have two equations that we can solve simultaneously.

From equation 1 we can say R = 12 - S. We can then substitute this into equation 2 to yield the following:

25(12 - s) + 10s = 180

300 - 25s + 10s = 180

300 - 25s + 10s = 180

300 - 15s = 180

15s = 300 - 180

15s = 120

S = 120/15

S = 8

S = 8 , and R = 12 - S = 12 - 8 = 4

The measure of two supplementary angles are x+10 and 2x-5. Find the values of x and then find the angles
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

  68 1/3, 111 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two supplementary angles is 180°, so ...

  (x +10) +(2x -5) = 180

  3x +5 = 180 . . . . . collect terms

  x +5/3 = 60 . . . . . divide by 3

  x = 58 1/3 . . . . . . . subtract 5/3

The first angle is ...

  x +10 = 58 1/3 +10 = 68 1/3

The second angle is ...

  2x -5 = 2(58 1/3) -5 = 116 2/3 -5 = 111 2/3

The angles measure 68 1/3 and 111 2/3.
