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

How do you find the height of a triangle (to calculate area)?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The height of the triangle could be found by the <u>Pythagoras theorem</u>, where the result is, with the data of the exercise:

  • <u>Height of the triangle = 10.392</u>

And the area of the triangle is:

  • <u>Area of the triangle = 31.176 units^2</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have two measurements of a triangle, as the case in the picture, you can find the third with the <em>Pythagoras theorem</em>, which is:

  • <u>(opposite leg)^2 + (adjacent leg)^2 = hypotenuse^2</u>

As you can see in the picture, the measurement of the hypotenuse is 12, and the opposite leg could be 6, for this reason, we're gonna clear the adjacent leg of the formula above:

  • (opposite leg)^2 + (adjacent leg)^2 = hypotenuse^2
  • (adjacent leg)^2 = hypotenuse^2 - (opposite leg)^2

Now, we can replace the values in the formula obtained:

  • (adjacent leg)^2 = hypotenuse^2 - (opposite leg)^2
  • (adjacent leg)^2 = 12^2 - 6^2
  • (adjacent leg)^2 = 144 - 36
  • (adjacent leg)^2 = 108

Now, as we just need the adjacent leg, we take the square root of both sides:

  • adjacent leg = \sqrt{108}
  • <u>adjacent leg = 10.392 approximately</u>.

Now, with these data, we can find the area of the triangle with the next formula:

  • Area of a triangle = (base * height) / 2
  • And we replace the measurements:
  • Area of a triangle = (6 * 10.392) / 2
  • <u>Area of a triangle = 31.176</u>

As the image does not contain units, it would be simply this number, however, <em>you should know that the area units are usually given squared, for example: in^2 or ft^2</em>.

If RS =14 and ST=9 ​, find RT. Use the number line below<br><br> RT=
Bingel [31]

Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

RS = 14

ST = 9

That means S is in the middle of R and T because it has two line segments associated with it

RT = RS + ST

RT = 14 + 9

RT = 23

If my answer is incorrect, pls correct me!
