The cost, C, to produce b baseball bats per day is modeled by the function C(b) = 0.06b2 – 7.2b + 390. What number of bats shoul

d be produced to keep costs at a minimum?

Check the picture below, that's just an example of a parabola opening upwards.

so the cost equation C(b), which is a quadratic with a positive leading term's coefficient, has the graph of a parabola like the one in the picture, so the cost goes down and down and down, reaches the vertex or namely the minimum, and then goes back up.

bearing in mind that the quantity will be on the x-axis and the cost amount is over the y-axis, what are the coordinates of the vertex of this parabola?  namely, at what cost for how many bats?

\bf \textit{vertex of a vertical parabola, using coefficients} \\\\ C(b) = \stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{0.06}b^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{-7.2}b\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{+390} \qquad \qquad \left(-\cfrac{ b}{2 a}~~~~ ,~~~~ c-\cfrac{ b^2}{4 a}\right)

\bf \left( -\cfrac{-7.2}{2(0.06)}~~,~~390-\cfrac{(-7.2)^2}{4(0.06)} \right)\implies (60~~,~~390-216) \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill (\stackrel{\textit{number of bats}}{60}~~,~~\stackrel{\textit{total cost}}{174})~\hfill

Write an equation of the line that passes through (-4, 1) and is parallel to the
LiRa [457]

Answer:

y-1=2(x+4) or y=2x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 3 = 2(x + 7)

y=mx+b

m=2

(x1,y1) -> (-4, 1)

(y−y1)=m(x−x1)

plug in

y-1=2(x+4)

y-1=2x+8

y=2x+9

test:

(1)=2(-4)+9

1=-8+9

1=1

Consider the figure below. Line FG is parallel to line JK.
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

A. a = 10

B. m<FNT = 120°

C. m<KTU = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

A. (7a + 50)° and (14a - 20)° are corresponding angles. Therefore:

(7a + 50)° = (14a - 20)°

Use this equation to find the value of a

7a + 50 = 14a - 20

Combine like terms

7a - 14a = - 50 - 20

-7a = -70

Divide both sides by -7

-7a/-7 = -70/-7

a = 10

B. m<FNT = (14a - 20)° (alternate interior angles are congruent)

Plug in the value of a

m<FNT = 14(10) - 20

m<FNT = 140 - 20

m<FNT = 120°

C. m<KTU + (14a - 20)° = 180° (linear pair)

Plug in the value of a

m<KTU + 14(10) - 20 = 180

m<KTU + 120 = 180

m<KTU + 120 - 120 = 180 - 120

m<KTU = 60°

The distance be<br> Find the distance between P and Q
Lelu [443]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  10

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is useful.

  d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)

  d = √((7 -1)^2 +(12 -4)^2) = √(6^2 +8^2) = √(36 +64) = √100

  d = 10

The distance between P and Q is 10.

<em>Additional comment</em>

You may recognize the run : rise ratio of 6 : 8 = 3 : 4. This suggests a 3-4-5 right triangle with a scale factor of 2. If you're familiar with that Pythagorean triple, you can write down the answer as soon as you see the rise and run numbers.
