Answer:

We can have two cases.

A quadratic function where the leading coefficient is larger than zero, in this case the arms of the graph will open up, and it will continue forever, so the maximum in this case is infinite.

A quadratic function where the leading coefficient is negative. In this case the arms of the graph will open down, then the maximum of the quadratic function coincides with the vertex of the function.

Where for a generic function:

y(x) = a*x^2 + b*x + c

The vertex is at:

x = -a/2b

and the maximum value is:

y(-a/2b)

You bought a blu-ray that cost $28.68 before tax. How much did you have to pay once the 7% sales tax was factored in?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

You had to pay $30.69 after the sales tax factored in.

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is to find 7% of $28.68.

The answer to that is the sales tax, therefore making the sales tax $2.01.

Finally, you have to add $2.01 to $28.68 to get a total of $30.69, your final answer.

A rectangular area is to be fenced in with 300 feet of chicken wire. find the maximum area that can be enclosed.
GarryVolchara [31]
Let the lengths of the sides of the rectangle be x and y. Then A(Area) = xy and 2(x+y)=300. You can use substitution to make one equation that gives A in terms of either x or y instead of both.

2(x+y) = 300
x+y = 150
y = 150-x

A=x(150-x) <--(substitution)

The resulting equation is a quadratic equation that is concave down, so it has an absolute maximum. The x value of this maximum is going to be halfway between the zeroes of the function. The zeroes of the function can be found by setting A equal to 0:
0=x(150-x)
x=0, 150

So halfway between the zeroes is 75. Plug this into the quadratic equation to find the maximum area.

A=75(150-75)
A=75*75
A=5625

So the maximum area that can be enclosed is 5625 square feet.
