Answer:
The maximum profit of $ 10277.32____ can be made when the selling price of the dog food is set to $ _34___ per bag.
Step-by-step explanation:
Profit = Revenue - Cost
P(x) = R(x) -C(x)
= -31.72x^2 + 2,030x
-( -126.96x + 26,391)
Distribute the minus sign
= -31.72x^2 + 2,030x+126.96x - 26,391
Combine like terms
= -31.72 x^2 + 2156.96 x - 26391
This is a parabola. It is facing downwards. The maximum profits is at the vertex ( where the max is)
vertex = h = -b/2a = -(2156.96)/(2*-31.72) = -2156.96/-63.44=34
Evaluate P(x) at x=34 to determine the profit
P(34) = -31.72 (34)^2 + 2156.96 (34) - 26391
-36668.32+73336.64-26391
10277.32
I believe that it is D, so sorry if it's wrong, I haven't done this in a while.
The graph forms a straight line going downwards. The straight line means that the speed is constant. It is going downwards meaning it is stopping.
The best statement that represents the graph is:
<span>Each point shows the remaining distance, in feet, to the finish line of a race t seconds after a runner begins the final stretch and runs at a constant speed.</span>
Let us take the second equation first
2a + 2b = 6
Dividing both sides by 2 we get
a + b = 3
a = 3 - b
Putting the value of a in the first equation we get
3a + 4b = 9
3(3 - b) + 4b = 9
9 - 3b + 4b = 9
b = 9 - 9
= 0
Now putting the value of b in the second equation we get
a + b = 3
a + 0 = 3
a = 3
So the value of the unknown variable a is 3 and the value of the unknown variable b is 0.
