Answer:

500 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

By proportion :-

15% of the tigers weight = 75 pounds

1% .................................... = 75/15 pounds

100% .................................. = 75*100 / 15 pounds

= 7500 / 15

= 500 pounds

The function f(x) = –x2 + 20x – 75 models the profit from one customer, in dollars, a shop makes for printing photos, where x is

trasher [3.6K]

The function is graphed as shown below

Part A:

We use the formula $- \frac{b}{2a}$ to find the vertex of the function. A quadratic function of the form of $a x^{2} +bx+c$ and equating this form to the given function $- x^{2} +20x-75$ , we have
$b=20$ and $a=-1$ .

Substituting $a$ and $b$ into the vertex formula, we have
$x=- \frac{20}{2(-1)}=10$ , as shown in the graph

This calculation means that the highest profit is achieved when the number of photo printed equals to ten photos

Part B:

We can find solution to this equation by factorising

$- x^{2} +20x-75=0$
$-( x^{2} -20x+75)=0$
$x^{2} -20x+75=0$
$(x-5)(x-15)=0$
$x=5$ and $x=15$ , as shown in the graph

The two values means that the company makes no profit when they either produce 5 or 15 photos

The slope of line A is C. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can check the slope by dividing the rise (how many units up) and the run (how many units across). This line has a rise of rise of 4 and a run of 2. Diving 4 by 2 gives you a slope of 2.

Red is 20 and you spin it 50 times so 2/5 chance is red so that makes 3/5 chance not red
