Answer: f(-3) = 278, f(-4) = 232
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 4x³ - 6x² - 144x + 8
f(-3) = 4(-3)³ - 6(-3)² - 144(-3) + 8
f(-3) = 4(-27) - 6(9) - 144(-3) + 8
f(-3) = 278
f(-4) = 4(-4)³ - 6(-4)² - 144(-4) + 8
f(-4) = 4(-64) - 6(16) - 144(-4) + 8
f(-4) = 232
Answer:
$6488.19
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem we use the compounded interest formula:
a = $2600(1+(0.0675/1))¹*¹⁴
a = $6488.19
Here is our profit as a function of # of posters
p(x) =-10x² + 200x - 250
Here is our price per poster, as a function of the # of posters:
pr(x) = 20 - x
Since we want to find the optimum price and # of posters, let's plug our price function into our profit function, to find the optimum x, and then use that to find the optimum price:
p(x) = -10 (20-x)² + 200 (20 - x) - 250
p(x) = -10 (400 -40x + x²) + 4000 - 200x - 250
Take a look at our profit function. It is a normal trinomial square, with a negative sign on the squared term. This means the curve is a downward facing parabola, so our profit maximum will be the top of the curve.
By taking the derivative, we can find where p'(x) = 0 (where the slope of p(x) equals 0), to see where the top of profit function is.
p(x) = -4000 +400x -10x² + 4000 -200x -250
p'(x) = 400 - 20x -200
0 = 200 - 20x
20x = 200
x = 10
p'(x) = 0 at x=10. This is the peak of our profit function. To find the price per poster, plug x=10 into our price function:
price = 20 - x
price = 10
Now plug x=10 into our original profit function in order to find our maximum profit:
<span>p(x)= -10x^2 +200x -250
p(x) = -10 (10)</span>² +200 (10) - 250
<span>p(x) = -1000 + 2000 - 250
p(x) = 750
Correct answer is C)</span>
Answer:
-84 + 10i
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard Complex Form: a + bi
Step 1: Evaluate
√-100 = √-1 x √100 = i x 10 = 10i
-84 = -84
Step 2: Combine
10i - 84
Step 3: Rearrange
-84 + 10i
Problem 3
The constant term is 290. This is the term that stays the same no matter what the value of 'a' happens to be. Contrast this with the variable term 2.50a which changes if 'a' changes (hence the name "variable" for "vary" or "change")
If Mike sold 0 accessories, then a = 0 and the expression would be
2.50*a + 290 = 2.50*0 + 290 = 290
Selling 0 accessories leads to $290. This is the amount he is guaranteed with the 2.50a portion being additional money to motivate him to sell more.

Answer: Choice (3) 290, amount he is guaranteed
======================================
Problem 4
Plug y = 0 into the equation. Solve for x
9x - 14y = -3
9x - 14*0 = -3 .... replace y with 0
9x - 0 = -3
9x = -3
9x/9 = -3/9 ... divide both sides by 9
x = -3/9
x = -1/3
------------
Answer: Choice (3) which is -1/3
