We want to factor:
$2x^4+5x^2+3$

This may seem tricky because of the high powers, but remember that $x^4=(x^2)^2$ . Then we can factor it as:
$2x^4+5x^2+3=(2x^2+3)(x^2+1)$

The function f(x) = –x2 + 20x – 75 models the profit from one customer, in dollars, a shop makes for printing photos, where x is

trasher [3.6K]

The function is graphed as shown below

Part A:

We use the formula $- \frac{b}{2a}$ to find the vertex of the function. A quadratic function of the form of $a x^{2} +bx+c$ and equating this form to the given function $- x^{2} +20x-75$ , we have
$b=20$ and $a=-1$ .

Substituting $a$ and $b$ into the vertex formula, we have
$x=- \frac{20}{2(-1)}=10$ , as shown in the graph

This calculation means that the highest profit is achieved when the number of photo printed equals to ten photos

Part B:

We can find solution to this equation by factorising

$- x^{2} +20x-75=0$
$-( x^{2} -20x+75)=0$
$x^{2} -20x+75=0$
$(x-5)(x-15)=0$
$x=5$ and $x=15$ , as shown in the graph

The two values means that the company makes no profit when they either produce 5 or 15 photos

If the radius of a sphere is halved, what happens to the volume of the sphere? Use your algebra skills to develop a formula for

valkas [14]

Since V = (4/3) * pi * R^3

If R is halved, V' will reduce by a ratio of (1/2)^3 = 1/8

So V' = (1/8)V
