The price that a company charged for a basketball hoop is given by the equation 50-5x^2 where x is the number of hoops that are

produced, in millions. It costs the company $30 to make each basketball hoop. The company recently reduced its production to 1 million hoops but maintained its profit of 15 million dollars. Approximately how many basketball hoops did the company previously produce to make the same profit?

Answer:

The company produced 2 million  basketball hoops in previous year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of basketball hoops produced by the company be x.

The equation of price is  

P=50-5x^2

The cost of each basketball hoop is $30, so the cost function is

C=30x

The profit function is the difference between price and cost function.

Profit=P(x)-C(x)

Profit=50-5x^2-30x

The company reduced its production to 1 million hoops and make profit of 15 million.

15=50-5(x-1)^2-30(x-1)

15=50-5(x^2-2x+1)-30x+30

15=50-5x^2+10x-5-30x+30

5x^2+20x-60=0

5(x^2+4x-12)=0

(x^2+6x-2x-12)=0

(x+6)(x-2)=0

Therefore value of x is -6 and 2. The production can not be negative, therefore the company produced 2 million  basketball hoops in previous year.

Given:
Profit : 15,000,000
Cost: 30 per basketball hoop
production: 1 million hoops
price: 50 - 5x²

Profit = Sales - Cost
15,000,000 = sales - 30(1,000,000)
15,000,000 + 30,000,000 = sales
45,000,000 = sales

45,000,000 / 1,000,000 = 45 sales price.

2.5(t - 2) - 6 = 9 (solve for the unknown variable)
Elis [28]

2.5(t - 2) - 6 = 9

2.5(t - 2) = 9 + 6 = 15

t - 2 = 15/2.5 = 150/25 = 6

t = 6 + 2 = 8

Answer: 8

Check: 2.5(8 - 2) - 6 = 2.5(6) - 6 = 1.5(6) = 9  good

Find all values of x in the interval [0, 2π] that satisfy the equation. <br><br>6sin²(x) = 3
34kurt

Answer:

The solutions are π/4, 3π/4,5π/4,7π/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

6sin²(x) = 3

Divide by 6 to get:

{ \sin}^{2} (x) =  \frac{1}{2}

This implies that;

\sin(x) = \pm  \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2}

If

\sin(x) = \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2}

x =  \frac{\pi}{4}

in the first quadrant

x =  \frac{3\pi}{4}

in the second quadrant.

If

\sin(x) = -  \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2}

x =  \frac{5\pi}{4}

in the third quadrant

x =  \frac{7\pi}{4}

Darrin is hanging 200 feet of Christmas garland on the fencing around his house. The fence has the shape of a rectangle and full
lianna [129]

Answer:

the width is 17.5 feet and the length is 82.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The house has a rectangular shape and we know that the length is 5 feet less than 5 times the width.

We will call the width x, thus, the length would be represented as 5x-5 (5 less than 5 times the width).

Since Darrin is going to hang garland around the perimeter of the house, we know that the perimeter is 2 times the length plus two times the width and this equals 200.

Let's write this in algebraic form

width = x\\length= 5x-5\\Perimeter= 2width +2length=200\\200=2(x)+2(5x-5)\\200=2x+10x-10\\200=12x-10\\200+10=12x\\210=12x\\210/12=x\\x=17.5

Therefore, the width is 17.5 feet.

Now, the length is 5x-5, thus substituting the 17.5 in this equation we have:

5x-5=5(17.5)-5=87.5-5=82.5 feet

Therefore, the width is 17.5 feet and the length is 82.5 feet.
