You need to solve the following equation:
-0.5x^2 +36x -161 = 451

Set right side to 0
-0.5x^2 +36x -612 = 0

Multiply by -2 to get rid of decimal and leading neg coefficient.
x^2 -72x + 1224 = 0

Use quadratic formula:
a = 1, b = -72, c = 1224

x = \frac{-(-72) \pm \sqrt{(-72)^2 -4(1)(1224)}}{2(1)} \\  \\ x = \frac{72 \pm \sqrt{288}}{2} \\  \\ x = 27.51, 44.49

Therefore the min price to have 451 profit is $27.51

The volume (in cubic inches) of a shipping box is modeled by V =2x³ -19x² +39x, where x is the length (in inches). Determine the
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

The values of x for which the model is 0 ≤ x ≤ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function for the volume of the shipping box is given as follows;

V = 2·x³ - 19·x² + 39·x

The function will make sense when V ≥ 0, which is given as follows

When V = 0, x = 0

Which gives;

0 = 2·x³ - 19·x² + 39·x

0 = 2·x² - 19·x + 39

0 = x² - 9.5·x + 19.5

From an hint obtained by plotting the function, we have;

0 = (x - 3)·(x - 6.5)

We check for the local maximum as follows;

dV/dx = d(2·x³ - 19·x² + 39·x)/dx = 0

6·x² - 38·x + 39 = 0

x² - 19/3·x + 6.5 = 0

x = (19/3 ±√((19/3)² - 4 × 1 × 6.5))/2

∴ x = 1.288, or 5.045

At x = 1.288, we have;

V = 2·1.288³ - 19·1.288² + 39·1.288 ≈ 22.99

V ≈ 22.99 in.³

When x = 5.045, we have;

V = 2·5.045³ - 19·5.045² + 39·5.045≈ -30.023

Therefore;

V > 0 for 0 < x < 3 and V < 0 for 3 < x < 6.5

The values of x for which the model makes sense and V ≥ 0 is 0 ≤ x ≤ 3.

The difference between an observational study and an experiment is that:
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

An experiment is a study carried out in a controlled environment where the person undertaking the research hopes to understand cause and effect between the independent and dependent variables. An example of a experiment is the palovian experiment

The independent variable is the variable that the person carrying out an experiment changes or manipulates. the independent variable usually have a direct effect on the dependent variable

The dependent variable is the variable that is being measured in an experiment. It is usually affected by the independent variable

Observational study is the study where the researcher observes and measures cause and effect between independent and dependent variables without trying  to control or influence the population
