The profits in hundreds of dollars, P(c), that a company can make from a product is modeled by a function of the price, c, they

Jobisdone [24]

The maximum profit is the y-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola represented by the equation.

$P(c)=-20c^2+320c+5120 \\ \\
a=-20 \\
b=320 \\ \\
\hbox{the vertex } (h,k): \\
h=\frac{-b}{2a}=\frac{-320}{2 \times (-20)}=\frac{-320}{-40}=8 \\
k=f(h)=f(8)=-20 \times 8^2+320 \times 8+5120= \\
=-1280+2560+5120=6400$

The maximum value is 6400, but the profit is given in hundreds of dollars, so multiply the value by 100.

The maximum profit the company can make is $640,000.

How does multiplying a vector by a scalar value of 2x change the vector?

GalinKa [24]

Recall that the direction of a vector can be seen from its slope, namely b/a.

let's take a peek at a couple of vectors, and multiply them by a scalar of 2.

hmmm say < 3 , 7 > , it has a slope of 7/3, now if we use a scalar of 2

2<3,7> => < 6 , 14 >, now, the slope of that is 14/6 which simplifies to, yeap, you guessed it, to 7/3, no change in the slope.

and say hmmmm < 11 , -2 >, slope of -2/11, let's multiply it by 2

2<11,-2> => <22 , -4 >, slope is -4/22 which simplifies to -2/11.

so, the vector's magnitude gets blown up, but the slope remains the same.

Rewrite the expression in terms of the given function 1/1-sinx - sinx/1+sinx

Feliz [49]

Your question seems a bit incomplete, but for starters you can write

$\dfrac1{1-\sin x}-\dfrac{\sin x}{1+\sin x}=\dfrac{1+\sin x}{(1-\sin x)(1+\sin x)}-\dfrac{\sin x(1-\sin x)}{(1+\sin x)(1-\sin x)}=\dfrac{1+\sin x-\sin x(1-\sin x)}{(1-\sin x)(1+\sin x)}$

Expanding where necessary, recalling that $(1-\sin x)(1+\sin x)=1-\sin^2x=\cos^2x$ , you have

$\dfrac{1+\sin x-\sin x(1-\sin x)}{(1-\sin x)(1+\sin x)}=\dfrac{1+\sin x-\sin x+\sin^2x}{\cos^2x}=\dfrac{1+\sin^2x}{\cos^2x}$

and you can stop there, or continue to rewrite in terms of the reciprocal functions,

$\dfrac{1+\sin^2x}{\cos^2x}=\sec^2x+\tan^2x$

Now, since $1+\tan^2x=\sec^2x$ , the final form could also take

$\sec^2x+\tan^2x=\sec^2x+(\sec^2x-1)=2\sec^2x-1$

or

$\sec^2x+\tan^2x=(1+\tan^2x)+\tan^2x=1+2\tan^2x$
