Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Percy is not correct because he applied the zero product property to a factored expression that was not equal to 0. He should have subtracted 12 from both sides to get x2 + 7x = 0 before factoring. The correct solutions are 0 and -7.

What is the cost C (in dollars) for the care and maintenance of a horse and carriage is C+15x+200 where x is the number of rides
djverab [1.8K]
You didn't specify how much is charged per ride to determine revenue...but we can just use a variable p for the price charged per ride...

r(x)=px, c(x)=15x+200

To break even, P, profit must equal zero and P(x)=r(x)-c(x)

P(x)=px-15x-200

P(x)=0 when x(p-15)-200=0

x=200/(p-15)

So the number of rides needed, x, can be found once you determine what is charged per ride. :D  *note from even this partial answer that p must be greater than 15 or you will never break even.

What is the slope of the line tangent to the graph of y = (9x^2)/(x+2) at x = 1 ?
lidiya [134]

Using derivatives, it is found that the slope of the line tangent to the graph of y at x = 1 is of 5.

The equation is:

y(x) = \frac{9x^2}{x + 2}

The slope of the line tangent to the graph of y at x = 1 is y^{\prime}(1).

Applying the quotient rule, we have that:

y^{\prime}(x) = \frac{[9x^2]^{\prime}(x + 2) - [x + 2]^{\prime}(9x^2)}{(x + 2)^2}

y^{\prime}(x) = \frac{18x(x + 2) - 9x^2}{(x + 2)^2}

y^{\prime}(x) = \frac{9x^2 + 36x}{(x + 2)^2}

Then, when x = 1:

y^{\prime}(1) = \frac{9(1)^2 + 36(1)}{(1 + 2)^2} = \frac{45}{9} = 5

The slope of the line tangent to the graph of y at x = 1 is of 5.
