Answer:

The number of elephant ears that must be sold to maximize profit is 400.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The profit that a vendor makes per day is given by

P(x)= - 0.004x² +3.2 x -200

where x is number of elephant ears.

P(x)= - 0.004x² +3.2 x -200

Differentiating with respect to x

P'(x)= - 0.008x+3.2

Again differentiating with respect to x

P''(x) = -0.008

For maximum or minimum P'(x)=0

- 0.008x+3.2=0

⇒0.008x=3.2

\Rightarrow x=\frac{3.2}{0.008}

⇒ x = 400

P''(x)|_{x=400} = -0.008

Since at x=400, P''(x)<0, the profit is maximize.

P(400) = -0.004×400²+3.2×400-200

          =440

The number of elephant ears that must be sold to maximize profit is 400.

PLEASE HELP I really need help with it:/
Luda [366]

Answer:

  • q = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>We know that:</u>

  • 39 + (4q - 5) = 90°

<u>Solution:</u>

  • 34 + 4q = 90°
  • => 4q = 90 - 34
  • => 4q = 56
  • => q = 56/4
  • => q = 14

Hence, the value of q is 14.

Change 225° to radian measure in terms of pi​
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

\frac{5\pi }{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert from degree to radian measure

radian measure = degree measure × \frac{\pi }{180}

Hence

radian measure = 225 × \frac{\pi }{180} = \frac{225\pi }{180} = \frac{5\pi }{4}
