Use proportions.

5/6 = x/30

6 * 5 = 30
5 * 5 = 25

x = 25

The statue is 25 feet tall.

Mariana [72]

Answer:

  1. <em> 15</em>
  2. <em> 42,250</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is,

P=40000+300x-10x^2

where,

P = the total production of apples,

x = the number of trees added.

As the quadratic function has a negative leading coefficient, so it will open downward and at the vertex the value of function is maximum.

The vertex will be at \left(-\dfrac{b}{2a},-f\left(\dfrac{b}{2a}\right )\right)

The value of the function will be maximum at,

x=-\dfrac{b}{2a}

Putting the values,

x=-\dfrac{300}{2\times (-10)}=\dfrac{300}{2\times 10}=\dfrac{300}{20}=15

So at x=15 or for 15 number of trees the production will be ,maximum.

Putting x=15 in f(x) will yield the maximum production of apples.

P=40000+300(15)-10(15)^2=42,250

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

x < -16, none of the solution sets are correct for the given equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/4x > 4, multiply both sides by -4, don't forget when you multiply or divide by a negative you have to flip the sign.

x < -16

none of the solution sets are correct for the given equation.
