Let N be the number of items sold and p the price. 
Since the variation is inverse, then the relation between N and p is:
N=k\dfrac{1}{p}
For N=20000 and p = $9.5, we get the formula:
 20000=k\dfrac{1}{9.5}\\p=20000\times9.5=190000
If p = 8.75, then the number of items sold can be computed using the formula:
N= 190000\dfrac{1}{8.75}=21714 \text{ total items}

Over which interval is the graph of f(x) = one-halfx2 + 5x + 6 increasing?
kaheart [24]

Answer:

\large\boxed{x\in[-5,\ \infty)}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=\dfrac{1}{2}x^2+5x+6\\\\\text{The coeficient of}\ x^2\ \text{is the positive number. Therefore the parabola is op}\text{en up}.\\\\\text{If a parabola op}\text{en up, then the graph increasing in interval}\ (h,\ \infty),\\\text{and decreasing in interval}\ (-\infty,\ h).\ \text{Where}\ h\ \text{is a first coordinate of a vertex.}\\\\\text{For}\ y=ax^2+bx+c,\ h=\dfrac{-b}{2a}.\\\\\text{We have}\ a=\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{and}\ b=5.\ \text{Substitute:}\\\\h=\dfrac{-5}{2\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)}=-\cdot\dfrac{5}{1}=-5.

In isosceles $\triangle abc$ (with $ab = ac$), point $d$ lies on $ab$ such that $cd = cb$. if $\angle adc = 115^\circ$, what is
Nuetrik [128]

1. Angles ADC and CDB are supplementary, thus

m∠ADC+m∠CDB=180°.

Since m∠ADC=115°, you have that m∠CDB=180°-115°=65°.

2. Triangle BCD is isosceles triangle, because it has two congruent sides CB and CD. The base of this triangle is segment BD. Angles that are adjacent to the base of isosceles triangle are congruent, then

m∠CDB=m∠CBD=65°.

The sum of the measures of interior angles of triangle is 180°, therefore,

m∠CDB+m∠CBD+m∠BCD=180° and

m∠BCD=180°-65°-65°=50°.

3. Triangle ABC is isosceles, with base BC. Then

m∠ABC=m∠ACB.

From the previous you have that m∠ABC=65° (angle ABC is exactly angle CBD). So

m∠ACB=65°.

4. Angles BCD and DCA together form angle ACB. This gives you

m∠ACB=m∠ACD+m∠BCD,

m∠ACD=65°-50°=15°.

Answer: 15°.
