A retailer who sells backpacks estimates that by selling them for x dollars each, she will be able to sell 100−x backpacks each

month. The quadratic function R(x)=−x2+100x is used to find the revenue, R, received when the selling price of a backpack is x. Find the selling price that will give her the maximum revenue, and then find the amount of the maximum revenue.

Answer:

x = 50

R = $2500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question a quadratic equation,

−x² + 100x

To find the selling price, x, which will give highest revenue, y, we will find maximum value of parabola curve −x² + 100x

The value of -b/2a tells you the value x of the vertex of the function

−x² + 100x

here a = -1

        b = 100

Selling price = -(100)/2(-1)

                    =   50

 

R = −(50)² + 100(50)

  = 2500

What is the area of this figure?​
iVinArrow [24]

Answer: To find the area of a rectangle, multiply its height by its width. For a square you only need to find the length of one of the sides (as each side is the same length) and then multiply this by itself to find the area.

The value of πPhone stock has increased 9% each year for the past several years. In 2020, the stock was worth $75. What will the
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

2027 = $122.25

2016 = $48

Step-by-step explanation:

Find 1% of 75

75 / 100 = 0.75

multiply by 9

0.75 * 9 = 6.75

So that's $6.75 each year

Now, lets find our answers for 7 years.

6.75 * 7 = $47.25

75 + 47.25 = $122.25

<u>The stock will be $122.25 in 2027</u>

Now for 2016.

$6.75 * 4 = $27

$75 - $27 = $48

<u>The stock was $48 in 2016</u>
