A) zeroes
P(n) = -250 n^2 + 2500n - 5250
Extract common factor:
P(n)= -250 (n^2 - 10n + 21)
Factor (find two numbers that sum -10 and its product is 21)
P(n) = -250(n - 3)(n - 7)
Zeroes ==> n - 3 = 0 or n -7 = 0
Then n = 3 and n = 7 are the zeros.
They rerpesent that if the promoter sells tickets at 3 or 7 dollars the profit is zero.
B) Maximum profit
Completion of squares
n^2 - 10n + 21 = n^2 - 10n + 25 - 4 = (n^2 - 10n+ 25) - 4 = (n - 5)^2 - 4
P(n) = - 250[(n-5)^2 -4] = -250(n-5)^2 + 1000
Maximum ==> - 250 (n - 5)^2 = 0 ==> n = 5 and P(5) = 1000
Maximum profit =1000 at n = 5
C) Axis of symmetry
Vertex = (h,k) when the equation is in the form A(n-h)^2 + k
Comparing A(n-h)^2 + k with - 250(n - 5)^2 + 1000
Vertex = (5, 1000) and the symmetry axis is n = 5.
Problem A
Usually the number of bits in a byte is 8 or 16 or 32 and recently 64. You don't have to write a formula to restrict it to this number of bits. You are not asked to do so. The general formula is 2^n - 1 for the problem of Millie and her golden keys. Somehow the system can be made to choose the right number of bits. Apple IIe s for example, used 8 bits and there was a location that told the processor that fact.
2^n - 1 <<<<< Answer
Problem B
In this case n = 4
2^n - 1 = 2^4 - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15
Millie can collect 15 keys <<<<<< Answer
Factor x as it is a common factor;
x(8+3)
=11x
Answer:
x < 8
Step-by-step explanation:
x= # of hikes
3x +16 =5x
-3x. -3x
16=2x
16/2= 8
2x/2= x
8=x
x=8
check:
3(8) +16 =5(8)
24 +16 =40
40=40 ✓
there for at 8 hikes with either deal it would be the same but if you went up a number of hikes for the first option it would only be $43.00 spent in total. but with the second option it would be $45.00.
You would have to mow 9 lawns
