A company sells widgets. The amount of profit, y, made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Widgets should be sold by $38.88 to maximize the profit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex of a quadratic function:

Suppose we have a quadratic function in the following format:

f(x) = ax^{2} + bx + c

It's vertex is the point (x_{v}, y_{v})

In which

x_{v} = -\frac{b}{2a}

y_{v} = -\frac{\Delta}{4a}

Where

\Delta = b^2-4ac

If a<0, the vertex is a maximum point, that is, the maximum value happens at x_{v}, and it's value is y_{v}.

In this question:

The profit is given by:

y = -9x^2 + 700x - 6005

Which is a quadratic function with a = -9, b = 700, c = -6005

The maximum profit happens at the x of the vertex. Thus

x_{v} = -\frac{b}{2a} = -\frac{700}{2(-9)} = 38.88

Widgets should be sold by $38.88 to maximize the profit.

Ann, Chang, and Kareem sent a total of
Gnoma [55]

It is given in the question that

Ann, Chang, and Kareem sent a total of 89 text messages over their cell phones during the weekend. Ann sent 9 fewer messages than Chang. Kareem sent 3 times as many messages as Ann.

Let number of messages Chang sent be x. And Ann sent 9 fewer than Chang, so Ann sent (x-9) messages. And Kareem sent 3 times as many messages as Ann, so Kareem sent 3(x-9) messages.

And the total messages are 89. That is

x+x-9+3(x-9)=89

Combining like terms

x + x - 9 + 3x-27 =89&#10;\\&#10;5x -36=89&#10;\\&#10;5x = 125&#10;\\&#10;x =25

So Chang sent 25 messages, Ann sent

25-9=16 messages

And Kareem sent

3*16 = 48 messages

The area for a circle with a diameter of 8 cm is 50.24 cm². The area of a circle with a radius of 3 cm is 28.26 cm². 50.24 - 28.26 =  21.98 cm. So the difference is 21.98 cm.
