The temperature in the greenhouse was at least 68 degrees before the heater stopped working.
Step-by-step explanation:
It was at 68 then it dropped by 2 degrees.
answer: the system had no solution
Answer:
6. (a-4)(a+9)
7. (3p+4)(p-2)
8. Will explain below.
9. (5b+4)(5b-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
HELLOOO IM BACK
6. -4*9 = -36 (the variable), 9-4 = 5 (a) , so a^2 +5a - 36 is fulfilled.
7. 4*-2 = -8, 4-2 = 2, so 3p^2 - 2p - 8 is fulfilled.
9. 25b^2 = (5b)^2
16 = 4^2
Using the difference of squares formula, a^2-b^2= (a+b)(a-b)
Since a $5 decrease in price increases customers by 20 we can say that we have two points:
(125,100) and (120,120), from these we can find the slope or rate of change of customers as a function of price...
m=20/-5
m=-4
m=-4
c(p)=-4p+b, now we can use (125,100) to solve for b
100=-4(125)+b
100=-500+b
600=b, so our number of customers as a function of price is:
c(p)=600-4p
Revenue will simply be the number of customers times the price charged per customer...or p*c(p):
r(p)=600p-4p^2
We can find price that creates maximum revenue by finding when the derivative is equal to zero...
dr/dp=600-8p
dr/dp=0 only when
0=600-8p
8p=600
p=75
So the price that maximizes revenue is $75.
