120 is the answer because you need to do 4 percent minus 125

You want 125 pounds minus 4% of it, so you want 96% just multiply it

125 . 96% = 125 . 96/100 = 120

A company sells widgets. The amount of profit, y, made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the

kenny6666 [7]

Given:

The amount of profit, y, made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the given equation

$y=-29x^2+1388x-10040$

To find:

The maximum amount of profit the company can make, to the nearest dollar.

Solution:

If a quadratic equation is $f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$ , then the vertex is

$Vertex=\left(-\dfrac{b}{2a},f(-\dfrac{b}{2a})\right)$

If a>0, then vertex is the minimum point and if a<0, then the vertex is the maximum point.

We have,

$y=-29x^2+1388x-10040$

Here, $a=-29,b=1388, c=-10040$ . Clearly, a<0. So, the vertex is the point of maxima.

$-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{1388}{2(-29)}$

$-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{1388}{-58}$

$-\dfrac{b}{2a}\approx 23.931$

Putting x=23.931 in the given equation, we get

$y=-29(23.931)^2+1388(23.931)-10040$

$y=-16608.09+33216.228-10040$

$y=6568.138$

The vertex is at (23.931,6568.138).

Therefore, the maximum profit is $6568.138 when x=23.931.

What is the solution to this equation? x-8=15 A)x=13 B)x=17 C)x=7 D) x=23

Blababa [14]

Hi there! :)

Answer:

x=23

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

Step-by-step explanation:

This lesson it's about addition property of equality.

First, you add by 8 from both sides of an equation.

$x-8+8=15+8$

And then, you add by the numbers. Simplify and solve.

$15+8=23$

Final answer: → $x=23$

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Some one plz tell me how to do this

Subtract the 18 from the 78 then multiply both sides by -1, then divide by 5.

8th grade math . Pythagorran practice

Serhud [2]

The answers according to rows are:

ROW 1 : diameter of base = 10, base area = 25π, volume of cylinder = 175π volume of cone = $\frac{175}{3}$ π

ROW 2 : base radius = 3, base area = 9π, height = 40/3, volume of cylinder = 120π
ROW 3 : base radius = 6, base diameter = 12, height = 4, volume of cylinder = 144π

<h3>What is mensuration?</h3>

Mensuration is an aspect of geometry that deals with measurement of volumes and area.

Analysis:

Row 1

Diameter of base = 2 x radius = 2 x 5 = 10

Base area = π $r^{2}$ = π $(5)^{2}$ = 25 $\pi$

Volume of cylinder = base area x height = 25π x 7 = 175π

Volume of cone = 1/3 x volume of cylinder = 175π/3

Row 2

Base radius = base diameter/2 = 6/2 = 3

Base area = π $r^{2}$ = π $(3)^{2}$ = 9π

Volume of cone = 1/3 x base area x height

base area x height = 3 x volume of cone

base area x height = 3 x 40π

Height = 120π/9π = 40/3

Cylinder volume = 3 x cone volume = 3 x 40π = 120π

Row 3

Base area = π $r^{2}$

36π = π $r^{2}$

r2 = $\sqrt{36}$

r = 6

Base diameter = 2 x 6 = 12

Volume of cone = 1/3 x base area x height

48π = 1/3 x 36π x height

Height = 4

Cylinder volume = 3 x 48 = 144π

In conclusion,

ROW 1 : diameter of base = 10, base area = 25π, volume of cylinder = 175π

volume of cone = $\frac{175}{3}$ π

ROW 2 : base radius = 3, base area = 9π, height = 40/3, volume of cylinder = 120π

ROW 3 : base radius = 6, base diameter = 12, height = 4, volume of cylinder = 144π
