The revenue for a company producing widgets is given by y = -20x2 - 50x + 200, where x is the price in dollars for each widget.

The cost for the production is given by y = 30x - 10. Determine the price that will allow the production of widget to break even.

Answer:

The  price is   x =  $2.779

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  revenue is  y = - 20x^2  - 50 x + 200

   The cost of production is  y = 30 x - 10

Generally at break even point the cost of production is equal to the  revenue

So

      -20x^2 -50x + 200 =  30x-10

=>   20x^2 +20 -210 = 0

Using the quadratic formula to solve this equation we have that

       x =  $2.779

Answer: (A) The image of JKL after a 90° counterclockwise about the origin is shown in figure 1. (B) The image of JKL after a reflection across the y-axis is shown in figure 2.

Explanation:

(A)

From the given figure it is noticed that the coordinate points are J(-4,1), K(-4,-2) and L(-3,-1).

If a shape rotate 90 degree counterclockwise about the origin, then,

(x,y)\rightarrow (-y,x)

J(-4,1)\rightarrow J'(-1,-4)

K(-4,-2)\rightarrow K'(2,-4)

L(-3,-1)\rightarrow L'(1,-3)

Therefore, the vertex of imare are  J'(-1,-4),  K'(2,-4) and  L'(1,-3). The graph is shown in figure (1).

(B)

If a figure reflect across the y-axis then,

(x,y)\rightarrow (-x,y)

J(-4,1)\rightarrow J''(4,1)

K(-4,-2)\rightarrow K''(2,-4)

L(-3,-1)\rightarrow L''(3,-1)

Therefore, the vertex of imare are  J''(4,1),  K''(2,-4) and  L''(3,-1). The graph is shown in figure (2).

Which situation CANNOT be represented by this equation?<br> - 1x + 15 = 9
ryzh [129]
<h3>Answer: Choice B</h3>

Explanation:

The term "rising" will indicate that we should use positive 1/3 instead of negative 1/3.

Choices A and C use "decreasing" which is why they involve -1/3. This is why we can rule out these two choices.

What is the vertex of this function f(x)=x^2+12x
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

(-6, 36)

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form: ax^2 + bx + c

In this case:

a is 1

b is 12

c is 0

Calculate -b / 2a. This is the x-coordinate of the vertex.

To find the y-coordinate of the vertex, simply plug the value of -b / 2a into the equation for x and solve for y. This is the y-coordinate of the vertex.

-12 / ( 2 x 1 )

-12 / 2

-6

You log -6 in the function

f(x) = x^2 + 12x

f(-6) = (-6)^2 + 12(-6)

      = 36 +  (-72)

      = 36 - 72

      = 36

I hope this

Edward deposited ​$5,500 into a savings account 3 years ago. The simple interest rate is 3​%. How much money did Edward earn in​
viva [34]
Im pretty sure he earned 495 in interest, because you take 5,500 time .03 (from the three percent) and you get 165- then multiply by three because of the three years (495)
