Note:  Please write "x^2" (not 'x2') to indicate "the square of x."

<span>p(x) = -2x2 + 60x − 2 is a quadratic function whose graph is that of an inverted parabola.  The vertex (which here represents the largest p(x) value) can be found using the formula 

x  = -b / (2a), which comes out to   x = -60 / (2*-2) = 15.

The company has to make 15 hundred units to gain maximum profit.

How do I find the measurement of this ARC m&lt;IEF
andrey2020 [161]
The measure of a central angle is equal to measure of a minor arc. That makes m<GEH=17x+12. By the Vertical Angles Theorem, m<GEH and m<IEF are equal to each other (m<GEH=17x+12=m<IEF). By the same theorem, m<FEG and m<IEH are also equal (m<FEG=8x-7=m<IEH). The angles in a circle must all add up to 360 degrees, 2(17x+12)+2(8x-7)=360. Solve for x, then plug x into the equation for m<IEF.
Hope this helps!

For the month of March in a certain city, 57% of the days are cloudy. Also in the month of March in the same city, 55% of the da
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer: 0.9649

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A denote the event that the days are cloudy and B denotes the event that the days are rainy.

Given : For the month of March in a certain city, the probability that days are cloudy :P(A)=0.57

Also in the month of March in the same city,, the probability that the days are cloudy and rainy :P(A\cap B)=0.55

Now by using the conditional probability, the probability that a randomly selected day in March will be rainy if it is cloudy will be :-

P(B|A)=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}

\Rightarrow\ P(B|A)=\dfrac{0.55}{0.57}\\\\=0.964912280702\approx0.9649\ \ \text{[Rounded to four decimal places.]}

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected day in March will be rainy if it is cloudy = 0.9649
