<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In this problem we have a pumpkin is launched from the top of a 20 foot tall platform at an initial velocity of 84 feet per second. So the height, h, of the pumpkin at time t seconds after the launch can be modeled by the equation:

h(t) = -16t^2 + 84t + 20

So this is the equation of a parabola. The maximum of this parabola occurs at its vertex. So let's find this vertex:

\text{The x-value of the vertex is}: \\ \\ t=-\frac{b}{2a} \\ \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ a=-16 \\ \\ b=84 \\ \\ c=20 \\ \\ \\ t=-\frac{84}{2(-16)} \\ \\ t=-\frac{84}{-32} \\ \\ t=\frac{21}{8}=2.625 \\ \\ h(2.625)=-16(2.625)^2+84(2.625)+20 \\ \\ h(2.625)=-110.25+220.5+20 \\ \\ h(2.625)=130.25m

Finally, the maximum occurs at time 2.625 seconds when the height is 130.25m

Find the area of the composite figure and round the nearest tenth
Monica [59]

Answer:

The area of the composite figure is 1360 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you should split up the composite figure into separate shapes.

So to find area of the triangle all the way on the left, you multiply base x height then divide by 2.

<u>30 x 34 = 1020 ÷ 2 = 520.</u>

Then, moving on to next shape, we can break up the trapezoid into a rectangle and a triangle.

To find area of the rectangle you multiply length x width.

<u>16 x 30 = 480.</u>

Finally, we have the last triangle right above the rectangle. Keep in mind that the rectangle does not have a length of 40!

You have to subtract 40 - 16 which equals 24.

<u>30 x 24 = 720 ÷ 2 = 360.</u>

Now that we have all 3 numbers, we simply add them all together and you will get an answer of 1360 ft.

Remember to label your answer!

The cost and revenue functions for producing and selling x units of a product are given. Cost and revenue are expressed in dolla
Flauer [41]

Answer:

(A) the number of units produced and sold at break-even point is the value of X and that is 1.126 units.

(B) the dollar amount coming in and going out at this point/level is the price of X and that is 0.37 dollars

(C) the profit function for X units produced and sold is: π(x) = R(x) - C(x)

where pie (the symbol "π") represents PROFIT.

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) C(x) = 75x + 84 ...(equation 1)

660R(x) = 245x

R(x) = 245x ÷ 660 = 0.3712x

So R(x) = 0.3712x ...(equation 2)

To find X, equate the cost function to the revenue function

75x + 84 = 0.3712x

X = -1.126units

Since quantity cannot be negative in real life situation, we use the modulus of X in place of the above value.

|X| = 1.126 hence X = 1.126 now

Since we equated cost to revenue in order to get this quantity X, X is the quantity produced and sold at break even point.

Break-even point is the point where cost = revenue

This is also the point where profit is zero because profit = revenue - cost

(B) Revenue = Price × Quantity

R = P×Q

Our revenue here is 0.3712x

Which is equal to 0.418 dollars

So P = R÷Q

Price = 0.418÷1.126 = 0.37 dollars

(C) This is the profit function from producing and selling X units of the product: π(x) = R(x) - C(x)

Please help me with these 2 question.
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

- sqrt(39) and square root 47

are the limits. The - square root of 39 is smaller than - 6. So the integer to use here is - 6

sqrt (47) = 6.686. Here the square root is larger than the closest integer.

The integer to use is 6

- 6 + 6 = 0
