3 divided by 1 would be the answer
The coefficient of x² is is a negative 0.6, so this function has a maximum value.
the max value of a quadratic function is the value of f(x) when x=-b/2a,
in this case, a=-0.6, b=382
so x=382/1.2=
r(382/1.2)=-0.6(382/1.2)²+382*(382/1.2)
use a calculator: 60801.67 is the number I got.
I think 32! If it’s wrong I’m sorry lols
First we define variables:
x = first card original value
y = second card original value
z = third card original value
We write the system of equations:
Andrew bought 3 baseball cards for $ 240:
x + y + z = 240
the first card (at its original value) along with the second card (at its original price) and got $ 320:
2x + y = 320
the first card (at its original value) card along with the third card (at its original price) would have only got him $ 280:
2x + z = 280
Solving the system we have:
x = 120
y = 80
z = 40
Answer:
The original prices for each of the 3 baseball cards is:
(120, 80, 40)
