So you want to multiply 185.5 by 1.04 to get the 4% inflation. if you do that then you get 192.92

The profit function for a product is given by p(x)=-x^3+3x^2+900x-2100, where x is the number of units produced and sold and P i
nalin [4]

Answer:

x = 30 and x = 3 both solve the equation correctly. See work below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The very first step is to realize that p(x) is in hundreds of dollars and that the given number is not. 60000 is not in hundreds of dollars. It is in dollars. 60000 dollars = 60000/100 = 600 hundreds of dollars.

Make the polynomial = 600

-x^3+3x^2+900x-2100 = 600  Subtract 600 from both sides

-x^3+3x^2+900x-2100 - 600 = 0  Combine

-x^3+3x^2+900x- 2700 = 0           Group  the first and second term and the Thrid and fourth terms.

(-x^2 + 3x^2) + (900x - 2700) = 0  Bring out the common factors from both groups.

-x^2(x - 3) + 900(x - 3) = 0 Factor out x - 3 on both sides of the plus sign

(- x^2 + 900)(x - 3) = 0       Reverse -x^2 + 900 to  900 - x^2

(900 - x^2)(x - 3) = 0          factor (900 - x^2) using the difference of squares

(30 - x)(30 + x) (x - 3) = 0

The two answers that work are

30 - x = 0                           Solve

- x = - 30                            Divide by - 1

-x/-1 = -30/-1                       Combine                          

x  = 30

============

x - 3 = 0

x = 3

===========

There are two values that will work to give p(x) = 600. There is no way to account for why both values work.

The graph below confirms both answers.

Can you make a triangle with angles 45 degrees, 90 degrees, and 35 degrees?
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

To make a triangle the angles have to add up to 180 degrees so 90+45+35=170 degrees not 180.

Which is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-5,6) and (-3,2)?
vitfil [10]

The slope of the line passes through the points (-5,6) and (-3,2) is 2.

<h3>What is a slope?</h3>

Slope or the gradient is the number or the ratio which determines the direction or the steepness of the line. The slope is also defined as the ratio of the rise to the run.

Given that the line that passes through the points (-5,6) and (-3,2).

The slope of the line is calculated by the formula,

Slope = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

Slope = ( 6 - 2) / ( -3 + 5)

Slope = 4 / 2

Slope = 2

Therefore, the slope of the line passes through the points (-5,6) and (-3,2) is 2.

To know more about slopes follow
