Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
cos(60) =building height / 26
You can find the area of Bonnue's backyard by comparing the hypotenuse of the garden to the hypotenuse of the back yard. If the hypotenuse of the garden is 10 (with the side lengths being 6, 8 and 10 - the longest is always the hypotenuse) and the hypotenuse of the back yard is 30, this is a scale factor of 3 (3 times longer).
This means the other two sides would also be 3 times longer.
6 yards x 3 = 18
8 yards x 3 = 24
To find the area using these dimensions, you will use the formula for finding the area of a triangle.
A = 1/2bh
A = 1/2 x 18 x 24
A = 216 square yards
The area of the backyard is 216 square yards.
We factor the equation to get:
-(x-25)^2+361
In the form a(x-h)^2+k, the vertex is (h, k), so the vertex is (25, 361). This means that the studio makes the most profit from selling 25 memberships, and thus makes 361 dollars.
B. The x-intercepts are the values of x for which f(x) is 0. This equation can be factored as (-a+6)(a-44)=0, with solutions 6 and 44. Therefore, by selling either 6 memberships or 44 memberships, the studio breaks even, neither making nor losing money.
