A quadratic function models the profit of the company and the maximum/minimum value of the quadratic function occurs on its vertex. 

The given function is:

P(x)=-3(x-5)^{2}+12

The equation is already in standard form, the vertex of the parabola as seen from the equation is (5,12)

This mean if the company sets the price of socks to $5 they will earn a maximum profit which is $ 12 million

Find the missing dimension of the prism. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

x = 6.99in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

l =2in

Volume = 72.66in^3

See attachment for prism

Required

Find x

The prism has a regular hexagon base

The base area is calculated as:

Base\ Area= \frac{3\sqrt 3}{2}l^2

This gives:

Base\ Area= \frac{3\sqrt 3}{2} * 2^2

Base\ Area= \frac{3\sqrt 3}{2} * 4

Base\ Area= 3\sqrt 3 * 2

Base\ Area= 6\sqrt 3

Side x represents the height.

So, we have:

Volume = Base\ Area*x

Make x the subject

x = \frac{Volume }{ Base\ Area}

x = \frac{72.66in^3}{6\sqrt 3 in^2}

x = \frac{72.66}{6\sqrt 3}in

x = \frac{12.11}{\sqrt 3}in

x = 6.99in --- approximated
