Answer:

C $11

Step-by-step explanation:

If a company found that its monthly profit, P, is  given by P = -10x2 + 120x - 150 where x is the  selling price for each unit of the product, the best estimate of  the maximum price per unit that the company  can charge without losing money is $11.

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so we aren't looking to maximize profits which is equivalent to finding the vertex of the parabola.

But we want to know what is the highest number of x so that our we aren't losing money.  We aren't losing money when our profit is 0.

So we are asked to solve P(x)=0 for x and take the highest x of that equation.

P(x)=0

-10x^2+120x-150=0

I'm going to divide both sides by -10 to make the numbers easier to work with later.

x^2-12x+15=0

I'm going to use the quadratic formula.

x^2-12x+15=0 when compared to ax^2+bx+c=0 gives us a=1,b=-12,c=15.

We are going to plug this into our quadratic formula:

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}.

x=\frac{12\pm \sqrt{(-12)^2-4(1)(15)}}{2(1)}

x=\frac{12\pm \sqrt{144-60}}{2}

x=\frac{12\pm \sqrt{84}}{2}

x=\frac{12}{2} \pm \frac{\sqrt{84}}{2}

x=6 \pm \frac{\sqrt{84}}{2}

I'm ready to put this into my calculator.

The one with the plus gives me 10.5826 approximately.

The one with the minus gives me 1.4174 approximately.

The 10.5826 is the higher number.

So about 11 dollars.

The subset of the sample space probability experiment
leva [86]

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space of a random experiment is the collection of all possible outcomes. An event associated with a random experiment is a subset of the sample space. The probability of any outcome is a number between 0 and 1. The probabilities of all the outcomes add up to 1.

Suppose y varies directly with x. If y = –20 when x = 2, find y when x = 14
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

y = -140

Step-by-step explanation:

Y varies directly with x

y = kx

We know y = -20 when x =2, we can solve for k

-20 = k*2

Divide each side by 2

-20/2= 2k/2

-10 =k

y = -10x

Now we want to find y when x = 14

y = -10 *14

y = -140
