The profits of mr cash’s company is represented by the equation p(t)=-3t^2+18t-4, where p(t) is the amount of profit in hundreds
of thousands of dollars and t is the number of years of operation. he realizes his company is on the down turn and wishes to sell before he ends up in debt. In what year of operation does Mr. Cash’s business show maximum profit? What is the maximum profit? What time will it be too late to sell business?
1 answer:
We have that
<span>p(t)=-3t^2+18t-4
using a graphing tool, we can see the maximum of the graph
(see the attached figure)
A) </span><span>In what year of operation does Mr. Cash’s business show maximum profit?
</span>Mr. Cash’s business show maximum profit at year 3 (maximum in the parabole)
<span>B) What is the maximum profit?
23 (hundred of thousand of dollars) = 2.300.000 dollars
</span>c) What time will it be two late?
(This is the time when the graph crosses zero and the profits turn into losses )
5.77 years, or an estimate of about 69 months.

Let z = sin(x). This means z^2 = (sin(x))^2 = sin^2(x). This allows us to go from the equation you're given to this equation: 7z^2 - 14z + 2 = -5
That turns into 7z^2 - 14z + 7 = 0 after adding 5 to both sides. Use the quadratic formula to solve for z. The only solution is z = 1 (see attached image). Since we made z = sin(x), this means sin(x) = 1. All solutions to this equation will be in the form x = (pi/2) + 2pi*n, which is the radian form of the solution set. If you need the degree form, then it would be x = 90 + 360*n
The 2pi*n (or 360*n) part ensures we get every angle coterminal to pi/2 radians (90 degrees), which captures the entire solution set.
Note: The variable n can be any integer.
