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

the number of photos printed, and f(x) is the amount of profit.

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

Let f(x) = 3x + 2 and g(x) =x - 3. Find f(x) - g(x). Question 3 options: 2x - 5 4x - 1 2x - 1 2x + 5
Alexxx [7]

Answer: f(x)-g(x)=2x+5

Step by step:

f(x) = 3x+2

g(x) = x-3

f(x)-g(x) = 3x +2 - (x-3) = 3x + 2-x+3=2x+5

I don't know how to solve it?
Grace [21]
Just turn 5/6ths into x/32nds. For example I could turn 1/2 into 2/4. And 2/4 into 4/8.

What is the area of a square with a perimeter of 64 mm
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

A =256 mm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a square is given by the formula

P = 4s where s is the length of a side

64 = 4s

Divide each side by 4

64/4 =4s/4

16 = s

To find the area of a square, use the formula

A =s^2

A = 16^2

A =256 mm^2
