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.

How to construct a triangle with side lengths 10 cm and 14 cm and an angle between them of 60 degrees.
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

We draw line AB which is perpendicular to the 14 cm side

Since Angle C is 60 degrees that makes angle CAB = 30 degrees

Triangle CAB is a 30 60 90 triangle so line CB is half the hypotenuse or 5 cm

Line BD equals 9 cm

Line AB^2 = 10^2 - 5^2 = 75

Line AD^2 = AB^2 + BD^2

Line AD^2 = 75 + 81

Line AD^2 = 156

Line AD = 12.4899959968

Line AB = Sqr root (75) = 8.6602540378

Angle D = arc sine  (8.6602540378 / 12.4899959968)

Angle D = 43.898 degrees

Angle A = 180 - 60 - 43.898 = 76.102 degrees

*****************************************************************

Actually this could have been done a little easier by using the Law of Cosines and then the Law of Sines, but I just thought I'd show another way to solve this.

Which number line represents x2=16
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Well 2x=16 is the same as x=8 when you divide by 2. So the dot should be on 8.
