A source of laser light sends rays AB and AC toward two opposite walls of a hall. The light rays strike the walls at points B an
d C, as shown below:
A source of laser light is at point A on the ground between two parallel walls. The walls are perpendicular to the ground. AB is a ray of light which strikes the wall on the left at point B. The length of AB is 60m.AC is a ray of light which strikes the wall on the right at point C which is 40m above the ground. The ray AB makes an angle of 60 degrees with the ground. The ray AC makes an angle of 45 degrees with the ground.
What is the distance between the walls?
the options are
80

Answer:
Profit function: P(x) = -0.5x^2 + 40x - 300
profit of $50: x = 10 and x = 70
NOT possible to make a profit of $2,500, because maximum profit is $500
Step-by-step explanation:
(Assuming the correct revenue function is 90x−0.5x^2)
The cost function is given by:
And the revenue function is given by:
The profit function is given by the revenue minus the cost, so we have:
To find the points where the profit is $50, we use P(x) = 50 and then find the values of x:
Using Bhaskara's formula, we have:
So the values of x that give a profit of $50 are x = 10 and x = 70
To find if it's possible to make a profit of $2,500, we need to find the maximum profit, that is, the maximum of the function P(x).
The maximum value of P(x) is in the vertex. The x-coordinate of the vertex is given by:
Using this value of x, we can find the maximum profit:
The maximum profit is $500, so it is NOT possible to make a profit of $2,500.
