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.

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Option D) 254.3 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a circle is equal to

A=\pi r^{2}

we have

r=9\ cm

substitute

A=(3.14)(9)^{2}=254.3\ cm^2

blsea [12.9K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  Either of ...

  • (x, y) ⇒ (-x, -y)
  • Rotation 180° about the origin

Step-by-step explanation:

There are at least two ways to express the transformation that maps each coordinate to its opposite.

  1. reflection across the origin: (x, y) ⇒ (-x,-y)

  2. rotation 180° (either direction) about the origin.

Take your pick.

If the range of the function f(x) = 7x – 2.7 is {14.1, 30.9, 41.4, 58.9, 68}, what is its domain?
Drupady [299]

domain is {2.4, 4.8, 6.3, 8.8, 10.1 }

For domain, equate f(x) to each value in the range and solve for x

7x - 2.7 = 14.1 ⇒ x = \frac{x14.1 + 2.7}{7} = 2.4

7x - 2.7 = 30.9 ⇒ x = \frac{30.9 + 2.7}{7} = 4.8

7x - 2.7 = 41.4 ⇒ x = \frac{41.4 + 2.7}{7} = 6.3

7x - 2.7 = 58.9 ⇒ x = \frac{58.9 + 2.7}{7} = 8.8

7x - 2.7 = 68 ⇒ x = \frac{68 + 2.7}{7} = 10.1
