When x=30 units, y = profit = -5(30)^2 + 300(30) + 15000 = $19500

<span>P(x)=-5x^2+300x+15,000 is the equation of a parabola and represents profit. Its graph opens down. Our job is to find the x-coordinate of the vertex (which is the x-coord of the maximum profit) and then the corresponding y-value.

The formula x = -b / (2a) will produce that x-coordinate:

-(300)
x = ------------ = 30
2(-5)

When x=30 units, y = profit = -5(30)^2 + 300(30) + 15000 = $19500 (answer)

According to the fundamental theorem of algebra, how many roots does the polynomial f(x)=x4+3x2+7 have over the complex numbers,

Finger [1]

ANSWER

4 roots.

EXPLANATION

The given polynomial function is

$f(x) = {x}^{4} + 3 {x}^{2} + 7$

This is a fourth degree polynomial.

According to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, an nth degree polynomial has n roots.

This roots include both real and complex roots.

Also repeated roots or roots with multiplicity greater than one are counted as distinct.

Since the given polynomial function is a fourth degree polynomial, the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, says that this polynomial has 4 roots.

What is the absolute value of point P on the number line? A number line ranging from negative two to two, with intervals of one-

V125BC [204]

The absolute value is always positive:
For example, the absolute value of -5: | - 5 | = 5 and also the absolute value of 5 : | 5 | = 5
P = - 1 1/4
The absolute value of point P.
| P | = | - 1 1/4 | = 1 1/4

Determine the least possible degree of the polynomial function shown

OleMash [197]

Answer:

yeah

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the degree of the polynomial, add up the exponents of each term and select the highest sum.So the least number of roots = 5 and this will also be the least possible degree of the polynomial
