28.6 / 89.4 = 0.75 / x
cross multiply
28.6x = 67.05
x = 67.05 / 28.6
x = 2.34 <==

Answer:

B. 4√3

Step-by-step explanation:

\sin \: 60 \degree =  \frac{x}{8}  \\  \\  \therefore \:  \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}  = \frac{x}{8} \\  \\  \therefore \: x =  \frac{8 \times  \sqrt{3} }{2} \\  \\  \therefore \: x =  4 \times  \sqrt{3}\\  \\  \huge \purple{ \boxed{ \therefore \: x =  4 \sqrt{3} }}\\

The profit that a vendor makes per day by selling x elephant ears is given by the function P(x)= -0.004x^2+3.2x-200. Find the nu
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

The number of elephant ears that must be sold to maximize profit is 400.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The profit that a vendor makes per day is given by

P(x)= - 0.004x² +3.2 x -200

where x is number of elephant ears.

P(x)= - 0.004x² +3.2 x -200

Differentiating with respect to x

P'(x)= - 0.008x+3.2

Again differentiating with respect to x

P''(x) = -0.008

For maximum or minimum P'(x)=0

- 0.008x+3.2=0

⇒0.008x=3.2

\Rightarrow x=\frac{3.2}{0.008}

⇒ x = 400

P''(x)|_{x=400} = -0.008

Since at x=400, P''(x)<0, the profit is maximize.

P(400) = -0.004×400²+3.2×400-200

          =440

The number of elephant ears that must be sold to maximize profit is 400.
