40x+8x^2=0 can be solved for x (there are two solutions):
Divide all 3 terms by the greatest common multiple (which is 8x):
40x+8x^2=0
------------- -----
8x 8x
5 + x = 0 produces the root x = - 5.
Setting 8x = 0 and solving for x produces the root x = 0.
Be certain to check these results. substitute x = -5 into 40x+8x^2=0. Is the resulting equation true or false? Next, subs. x=-5 into 40x+8x^2=0. Is the resulting equation true or false?
The weight of each cabbage is not given.
I'll assume that each cabbage weighs p pounds.
Now, we know that Yasmin bought 6 cabbage each weighing p pounds. To know the total weight, we will simply multiply the number of cabbages by the weight of each as follows:
Total weight = 6 * p = 6p pounds
Hope this helps :)
R(x) = 60x - 0.2x^2
The revenue is maximum when the derivative of R(x) = 0.
dR(x)/dx = 60 - 0.4x = 0
0.4x = 60
x = 60/0.4 = 150
Therefore, maximum revenue is 60(150) - 0.2(150)^2 = 9000 - 4500 = $4,500
Maximum revenue is $4,500 and the number of units is 150 units
I hope this helps you
