<span>p= -1/10x+74
</span><span>we can write this as
p = -.10x + 74
</span><span>a) How much should be charged for a barrel of oil if there are 9 million barrels on ​ hand?
</span>p = -.10(9) + 74=73.1 a barrel
<span>​b) What quantity x will maximize​ revenue?
</span><span>r(x) = x(-.10x + 74)
r(x) = -.10x^2 + 74x
</span><span>Find the axis of symmetry of this equation x = -b/(2a)
</span>x = -74/(2*(-0.10))=370<span>x = 370 million barrels

</span><span>c) What price should be charged in order to maximize​ revenue?
</span><span>p = -.10(370) + 74
p = -37 + 74
p = $37 a barrel</span>

At your school, the building is 20 feet tall, a tree's height is 252 inches, and the flagpole is 6 yards high. Which of the thre
timurjin [86]
First, all the heights have to be converted to similar units, say feet.

Therefore,
Building= 20 feet
Tree = 252*0.083333 = 21 feet
Flagpole = 6*3 = 18 feet

The tallest of the three is the tree and thus should cast the longest shadow. However, it should be noted that at exactly noon when the sun is overhead, all the three will have equal length of shadow (that is, 0 feet long).

3:5 <em>the colon is needed to represent the ratio</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

r = 10

g = 4

y = 30 - 14 = 6

y = 6

so ratio of total balls is 10:4:6

and ratio of y:r is

6:10

simply by dividing by 2
