Answer:

∠CDE ↔ 50°
∠FEG ↔ 75°
∠ACB ↔ 55°

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve angle problems like this, you make use of three relations:

linear angles have a sum of 180°
angles in a triangle have a sum of 180°
vertical angles have the same measure

The attached diagram shows the measures of all of the angles of interest in the figure. The ones shown in blue are the ones that have the measures and names on the list of answer choices.

A good place to start is with the linear angle pair at A. Since the sum of the two angles is 180°, the angle at A that is inside the triangle will be ...

180° -130° = 50°

Then the missing angle in that triangle at C will have the measure that makes the sum of triangle angles be 180°:

∠ACB = 180° -50° -75° = 55° . . . . . this is one of the angles on your list

Similarly, the angle at E inside triangle FEG will have a measure that makes those angles have a sum of 180°:

∠FEG = 180° -60° -45° = 75° . . . . . this is one of the angles on your list

The two angles whose measures we just found are vertical angles with the base angles in triangle CDE, so that triangle's angle D will have a measure that makes the total be 180°.

∠CDE = 180° -55° -75° = 50° . . . . . this is one of the angles on your list

A company’s profit in dollars is modeled by the equation p(x) = –0.5x2 + 100x, where x represents the number of units sold.

serg [7]

Answers:

a. The company needs to sell 100 units to reach the maxmum profit.

b. The company's maximum profit is $5,000.

Solution:

a. How many unit does the company need to sell to reach the maximum profit?

p(x)=-0.5x^2+100x

This is a quadratic equation, and its graph is a parabola vertical (because the veriable "x" is square). Comparing with the general form:

p(x)=ax^2+bx+c; a=-0.5, b=100, c=0

a=-0.5<0 (negative), then the parabola opens downward, and it has a maximimun value (maximum profit) at its vertex.

We can find the abscissa of the vertex (units that the company needs to sell to reach the maximum profit using the following formula:

x=-b/(2a)

Replacing b by 100 and a by -0.5 in the formula above:

x=-100/[2(-0.5)]

x=-100/(-1)

x=100

The company needs to sell 100 units to reach the maximum profit.

b. What's the company's maximum profit?

To determine the maximum profit we substitute the value of "x" obrained in part "a" in the quadratic equation:

x=100→p(100)=-0.5(100)^2+100(100)

p(100)=-0.5(10,000)+10,000

p(100)=-5,000+10,000

p(100)=5,000

The company's maximum profit is $5,000.

joja [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$(1+r)^5=\frac{535.29}{400} \\1+r=(\frac{535.29}{400}) ^{\frac{1}{5} } \\1+r \approx 1.06\\r \approx .06$
