Your picture has several issues.
- x is not defined. It appears to be the number of apartments rented.
- R(x) is defined two different ways. The first way, it looks like it is the revenue from a single apartment. The second way, it looks like it is the revenue from the entire apartment complex.
- The derivative is in error. It should be -20x +2000. In any event, this is not the derivative you want. You're not trying to maximize revenue; you're trying to maximize profit.
- It might be useful to write an equation for profit: P(x) = R(x) -200x = -10x² +1800x. Then when you go to maximize it, your derivative will be P'(x) = 0 = -20x +1800 ⇒ x = 90.
Your answer is correct, but the path you followed to get there has a few potholes.
Your best bet is to make a table of the x and y values.
Then plug -2, -1, 0, 1, and 2 in for x, into the equation to get the y values. That's how you get your points.
Answer:
hanger length X hanger height X hanger width
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is very simple .
First you need to determine the slope, which is the reciprocal of the first line.
Then,
y = mx + b
m => -1/m
The perperdicular line has a new slope equal to m = -1/2
In the formula (y - y1) = m ( x - x1 ) + b , you should sustitude this value.
So the final equation will be
-3 = -1/2 (0) + b
b = - 3
y = (-1/2)x - 3
That is the solution
560 - 164 = 396
396 / 3 = 132....each of the 3 crew members received $ 132
