The function represents the profit, and the company obviously wants to maximize it.
You can see that the profit increases until the parabola reaches its maximum.
The coordinate of the maximum look like (1.5, 90)
This means that, if the company invests 1.5 thousand dollars, the profit will be 90 thousand dollars, and this is the maximum profit the company can reach.
I believe the 3rd answer down if the information you provided is correct
Squaring the sum on the top, rules out 1 and 2 (not squaring the 7 only)
then 4 times the difference. so I believe 4 (x-1) on the bottom.
Answer:
x = 7 and 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can say:
x - 7 = 0 and 2x - 3 = 0
<em>Lets solve for x - 7 = 0 first:</em>
Add 7 to each side of "="
=> <u>x = 7</u>
<em>Now lets solve for 2x - 3 = 0</em>
First add 3 to each side of "="
=> 2x = 3
Now divide each side by 2
<u>=> x = 3/2</u>
Hope this helps!
In order to answer that question, we need to know the scale of the map.
Without that information, no answer is possible.
I think you have it in the first part of the question ... the part you decided
not to post.
_________________________
OK. Now that you've provided the scale of the map,
answering the question is a piece-o-cake.
Use a proportion:
(1 inch on the map) / (4 miles on the ground) = ('x' on the map) / (17 miles on the ground)
