a) You need to sell 12 or 29 dresses.

b) Any number between 2 and 39 dresses will give a positive profit.

<h3>How many dresses must be sold in order to make a profit of 3000 euros?</h3>

Here we know that the profit, in euros, as a function of the number of dresses sold is:

P(x) = -11*x^2 + 450*x - 800

Now, if you want to find how many dresses you need to sell to have a profit of 3000 euros, then you need to solve:

P(x) = 3000 = -11*x^2 + 450*x - 800

So we need to solve the quadratic equation:

-11x^2 + 450x - 800 - 3000 = 0

-11x^2 + 450x - 3800 = 0

The solutions are given by Bhaskara's formula:

x = (-450 ± √(450^2 - 4*(-3800)*(-11))/2*(-11)

x = (-450 ± 187.9)/(-22)

We have two solutions that give the same profit:

  • x = (-450 + 187.9)/-22 = 11.9 that can be rounded to 12.
  • x = (-450 - 187.9)/-22 = 28.99 that can be rounded 29.

Then if you sell either 12 or 29 dresses, you will get a profit of 3000 euros.

b) To make a profit you need to sell more than P = 0, so let's solve that first:

P= 0 = -11*x^2 + 450*x - 800

The solutions are:

x = (-450  ± √(450^2 - 4*(-800)*(-11))/2*(-11)

x = (-450  ± 409)/(-22)

The smaller solution is:

x = (-450 + 409)/-22 = 1.86 that can be rounded to 2.

(because you can't sell 1.86 of a dress)

The other solution is:

x =  (-450 - 409)/-22 = 39

So, between 2 and 39 dresses, you will make a profit.

Solve for x with a step by step explanation please<br> (3/5)x+1/4=(3/4)x-2/5
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

\frac{3 \times 4}{5 \times 4} x -  \frac{3 \times 5}{4 \times 5} x =  -  \frac{2 \times 4}{5 \times 4}  - \frac{1 \times 4}{5 \times 4}

\frac{12x - 15x}{20}  =  \frac{ - 8 - 4}{20}

/·20

12x-15x = -8-4

-3x= -12. /·(-1)

3x=12

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{3}{5} x -  \frac{3}{4} x =  -  \frac{2}{5}  -  \frac{1}{4}

F(x) = 3x + 2<br> What is f(5)?<br><br> PLEASE HELP!!!!
abruzzese [7]
Resolving a function of any nature means determining your zeros or raizes.

The zeros of a function occur when the function is null.

Then:

f(x) = 3x - 2

To determine the root
f(x) = 0 = 3x - 2
3x = 2
x = 2/3 Final result
