F ( x ) = - ( x -20 ) ( x - 100 ) =
= - ( x² - 100 x - 20 x + 2000 )= 
- x² + 120 x - 2000
The greatest profit is when ; f´( x ) = 0
f ´ ( x ) = - 2 x + 120 = 0
2 x = 120,        x = 60
60 purchase orders will generate the greatest profit.

A woman is walking at the rate of 90 yards per minute. How fast is she going in feet per second?
motikmotik

Answer:

She is going at the rate of 4.5 feet per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The rate of walking is 90 yards per minute.

Now, to find the rate in feet per second.

1 yard = 3 foot.

1 minute = 60 seconds.

So, first we find the rate of walking per second in yard = 90\div 60

Therefore by dividing we get = 1.5 yard

Now, we find the rate of walking per second in feet = 1.5\times 3

So, by multiplying we get = 4.5 feet

Therefore, she is going at the rate of 4.5 feet per second.
