The profit function for the first version of the device was very similar to the profit function for the new version. As a matter

of fact, the profit function for the first version is a transformation of the profit function for the new version. For the value x = 40, the original profit function is half the size of the new profit function. Write two function transformations in terms of P(x) that could represent the original profit function.

Answer:

a) - Compressing the P(new) function by a scale of 0.5 about the y axis.

- Moving the P(new) function down by 104 units.

b) The two simplified functions for P(original)

-0.08x² + 10.8x – 200.

-0.16x² + 21.6x – 504.

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question

An electronics manufacturer recently created a new version of a popular device. It also created this function to represent the profit, P(x), in tens of thousands of dollars, that the company will earn based on manufacturing x thousand devices: P(x) = -0.16x² + 21.6x – 400.

a. The profit function for the first version of the device was very similar to the profit function for the new version. As a matter of fact, the profit function for the first version is a transformation of the profit function for the new version. For the value x = 40, the original profit function is half the size of the new profit function. Write two function transformations in terms of P(x) that could represent the original profit function.

b. Write the two possible functions from part a in simplified form.

Solution

The equation for the new profit function is

P(x) = -0.16x² + 21.6x – 400

At x = 40, the original profit function is half the size of the new profit function

First, we find the value of the new profit function at x = 40

P(x) = -0.16(40)² + 21.6(40) – 400 = 208

Half of 208 = 0.5 × 208 = 104

P(original at x = 40) = P(new at x = 40) ÷ 2

Since we are told that P(original) is a simple transformation of the P(new)

P(original) = P(new)/2 = (-0.16x² + 21.6x – 400)/2 = -0.08x² + 10.8x – 200 ... (eqn 1)

Or, P(original) = 104

-0.16x² + 21.6x – 400 = 104

P(original) = -0.16x² + 21.6x – 400 - 104 = -0.16x² + 21.6x – 504.

So, the two functions that are simple transformations of P(new) to get P(original) are

-0.08x² + 10.8x – 200

Obtained by compressing the P(new) function by a scale of 0.5 about the y axis.

And

-0.16x² + 21.6x – 504.

Obtained by moving the P(new) function down by 104 units.

Hope this Helps!!!

400g of rapberries and 300g of strawberries cost £7.46. 500g of strawberries cost £4.10 work out the cost of 300g of raspberries
MAXImum [283]

Answer: £5.39

Step-by-step explanation:

500g strawberries = 4.10

100 g = 0.82

300g = 2.46

400g raspberries = 7.46 - 2.46 = 5.00

100g = 1.25

300g = 3.75

200g strawberries = 0.82 * 2 = 1.64

3.75 + 1.64 = 5.39

What scale factor was applied to the first rectangle to get the resulting image?
madam [21]

Answer:

The scale factor for the resultant rectangle is\frac{2}{5} units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two rectangles with sides 3 units and 7.5 units.

We have to find the scaling factors so that we can obtain bigger rectangle of 7.5 units from smaller rectangle of 3 units.

Scale factor is defined as the ratio  of corresponding side of given figure to the corresponding side of resulting figure.

That is \text{Scale factor}=\frac{\text{length of side of given figure}}{\text{length of side of resulting figure}}

Here, \text{Scale factor}=\frac{\text{length of side of given rectangle }}{\text{length of side of resulting rectangle}}

\text{Scale factor}=\frac{3}{7.5}=\frac{2}{5}

Hence, the scale factor for the resultant rectangle is\frac{2}{5} units.

Given:<br> f(x)=x^2<br> g(x)=x-1<br> Find f(g(2))+g(f(-1))
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to work out the left-hand side.

  • find g(2) → g(2) = 2 - 1 which is 1
  • next, find f(1) → f(1) = 1³ which is 1

Now, we can work out the right hand side.

  • find f(-1) → f(-1) = -1³ which is -1
  • then, find g(-1) → g(-1) = -1 - 1 = -2

Finally we can work out the full sum: 1 + -2 = -1.

Hope this helps!
