Answer:

a) x₁ = 14

x₂ = - 6

b) x = 4

c) P(max ) = 4000000 $

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the axis of symmetry we solve the equation

a) -4x² + 32x + 336 = 0

4x² - 32x - 336 = 0 or x² - 8x - 84 = 0

x₁,₂ = [ -b ± √b² -4ac ]/2a

x₁,₂ = [ 8 ±√(64) + 336 ]/2

x₁,₂ = [ 8 ± √400 ]/2

x₁,₂ =( 8 ± 20 )/2

x₁ = 14

x₂ = -6

a) Axis of symmetry must go through the middle point between the roots

x = 4 is the axis of symmetry

c) P = -4x² + 32x + 336

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get

P´(x) = - 8x + 32 ⇒ P´(x) = 0 - 8x + 32

x = 32/8

x = 4 Company has to sell 4 ( 4000 snowboard)

to get a profit :

P = - 4*(4)² + 32*(4) + 336

P(max) = -64 + 128 + 336

P(max) = 400 or 400* 10000 = 4000000

Julia and Cody are working together on solving math problems. For every one problem that Julia

slega [8]

Answer:

Cody has solved (12 × 12) = 144 problems.

Step-by-step explanation:

For every one problem that Julia completes, Cody completes twelve.

If Julia Completes x problems and Cody completes y problems, then we can write y = 12x ........ (1)

Now, given that the number of problems solved by Cody is one hundred twenty more than two times the number of problems solved by Julia.

Hence, 2x + 120 = y ......... (2)

Now, from equations (1) and (2) we get,

2x + 120 = 12x

⇒ 10x = 120

⇒ x = 12

Therefore, Cody has solved (12 × 12) = 144 problems. (Answer)

The triangles are similar.

RSB [31]

Answer:

The value of x is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the value of x, we first need to find the scale factor. We can find this by dividing any side of the larger triangle with the corresponding part of the smaller triangle.

28/7 = 4

This means everything in the larger triangle is 4 times as great as the smaller triangle. Knowing this, we can set the larger hypotenuse equal to 4 times the smaller.

6x + 28 = 4(25)

6x + 28 = 100

6x = 72

x = 12

A triangle with vertices at A(0, 0), B(0, 4), and C(6, 0) is dilated to yield a triangle with vertices at A′(0, 0), B′(0, 10), a

sineoko [7]

ANSWER

The scale factor is
$2.5$

EXPLANATION

The given triangle has vertices,

$A(0,0),B(0,4),\:and\:C(6, 0)$ .

The vertices of the image triangle is,

$A'(0,0),B'(0,10),\:and\:C'(15, 0)$ .

The scale factor is given by

$k = \frac{image \: length}{object \: length}$

So we can use any of the corresponding sides to determine the scale factor,

$k = \frac{|A'B'|}{ |AB|}$

$k = \frac{ |10 - 0| }{ |4 - 0|}$

$k = \frac{ |10| }{ |4 |} = \frac{10}{4} = 2.5$

Or

$k = \frac{|A'C'|}{ |AC|}$

$k = \frac{ |15 - 0| }{ |6 - 0|}$

$k = \frac{ |15| }{ |6|} = \frac{15}{6} = 2.5$

Or

$k=\frac{|B'C'|}{|BC|}$

$k = \frac{\sqrt{(15 - 0)^2+(0-10)^2 }}{\sqrt{(6 - 0)^2+(0-4)^2}}$

$k = \frac{ 5\sqrt{13}}{2\sqrt{13}} = \frac{5}{2} = 2.5$

The correct answer is C
