We have been given that the profit that the vendor makes per day by selling x pretzels is given by the function P(x)=-4x^2+2400x-400. We are asked to find the number of pretzels that must be sold to maximize profit.

First of all, we will find the derivative of our given function.

P'(x)=-4\cdot 2x^{2-1}+2400

P'(x)=-8x+2400

Now, we will find the critical point by equating derivative with 0 as:

-8x+2400=0

-8x+2400-2400=0-2400

-8x=-2400

\frac{-8x}{-8}=\frac{-2400}{-8}

x=300

Therefore, the company must sell 300 pretzels to maximize profit and option B is the correct choice.

Luann has a piece of ribbon that is 1 yard long. She cuts 33 inches off to tie a gift box. How many inches of ribbon are not use
schepotkina [342]
First, we convert the given initial length of the ribbon by the conversion factors,
                                          1 yd  = 3 ft
                                           1 ft = 12 inches
Converting,
                                        (1 yd)(3 ft/ 1 yd)(12 in/1 ft) = 36 in
Since Luann used 33 inches, the length of the unused ribbon is 3 inches.

How do you tell someone u like them???????????????????????
puteri [66]
Text them and start off casual like “Hey” if they take like hours to respond it’s not even worth telling them but if they respond fast tell them if they reject it just tell them its a dare. And if you want to tell them in person tell them alone because if you tell them when they’re with there friends there probably gonna act different around you and most of the time reject you.
