The graph of the function P(x) = −0.52x2 + 23x + 92 is shown. The function models the profits, P, in thousands of dollars for a
candle company to manufacture a candle, where x is the number of candles produced, in thousands: graph of a parabola opening down passing through points negative 3 and 69 hundredths comma zero, zero comma 92, 6 and 84 hundredths comma 225, 22 and 11 hundredths comma 346 and 33 hundredths, 37 and 39 hundredths comma 225, and 47 and 92 hundredths comma zero If the company wants to keep its profits at or above $225,000, then which constraint is reasonable for the model? 0 ≤ x < 6.84 and 37.39 < x ≤ 47.92 −3.69 ≤ x ≤ 6.84 and 37.39 < x ≤ 47.92 6.84 ≤ x ≤ 37.39 −3.69 ≤ x ≤ 47.92
2 answers:
Answer:
6.84 ≤ x ≤ 37.39
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
-----> equation A
we know that
The company wants to keep its profits at or above $225,000,
so
-----> inequality B
Remember that P(x) is in thousands of dollars
Solve the system by graphing
using a graphing tool
The solution is the interval [6.78,39.22]
see the attached figure
therefore
A reasonable constraint for the model is
6.84 ≤ x ≤ 37.39

It’s just the same as if there were no decimal point. but if there isn’t a number in the quotient on the left of the decimal like #15, then you just place a 0 and continue to the next dividend which is 50.
You basically have to find the slope, to find the average rate of change, because finding the slope and finding the average rate of change is basically the same thing.
Here's the formula :
So here, all you'd have to do is simply pick two points, and insert them into this formula. Say you take the points (-2, -2) and (0,-3). You would start from the y-intercept of the second point, and insert them all into the formula.
which would turn into 
. And so since you want a good, stable number, and not just a fraction, you would divide -1 and 2, and the average rate of change would be -0.50.
AVERAGE RATE OF CHANGE : -0.50

You would multiply 10 times \pi (3.14)
and get 31.40 cm squared
