Solve x^2-3x-20=8 for quadratic equation​

Mathematics

lesya692 [45]4 years ago

We have

x^2-3x-20=8

First, move 8 to left side to get

x^2-3x-28=0

Rewrite x^2-3x-28 as (x-7)(x+4) to get

(x-7)(x+4)=0

The expression on the left equals zero if either of factors is zero thus the equation has 2 solutions

x-7=0\Longrightarrow\boxed{x_1=7}

x+4=0\Longrightarrow\boxed{x_2=-4}

Hope this helps.

Suppose the Sunglasses Hut Company has a profit function given by P(q)=−0.02q2+4q−20P(q)=-0.02q2+4q-20, where qq is the number o
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

(A) 100 (in thousands)

(B) 180 (in thousand dollars)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

profit function as P(q) = -0.02q² + 4q - 20

where,

q is the number of thousands of pairs of sunglasses sold and produced,

P(q) is the total profit in thousands of dollars

To find the point of maxima differentiating the above equation and equating it to zero

P'(q) = - (2)0.02q + 4 - 0 = 0

or

⇒ - 0.04q + 4 = 0

or

⇒ - 0.04q = - 4

or

⇒ q = 100

Hence,

(A) 100 pairs of sunglasses (in thousands) should be sold to maximize profits

(B) Substituting the value of q in the profit function to calculate the actual maximum profit

P(q) = -0.02(100)² + 4(100) - 20

or

P(q) = - 0.02(10000) + 400 - 20

or

P(q) = - 0.02(10000) + 400 - 20

or

P(q) = 180 (in thousands dollar)
