Answer:

The correct answer is 10 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit function of a small business is given by P(x) = 0.3x^{2} + 7x - 40, where x is the number of units sold.

The small business intend to make a profit of $60.

To find out the number of units the business has to sell in order to have a profit of $60 is given by,

P(x) = 0.3x^{2} + 7x - 40 = 60

⇒ 0.3x^{2} + 7x - 100 = 0

⇒ 3x^{2} + 70x - 1000 = 0

⇒ x = -70 ± \sqrt{(70)^{2} + 12000} × \frac{1}{6}

⇒ x = -70 ± 130 × \frac{1}{6}

⇒ x = 10 or -\frac{200}{6}

Quantity sold cannot be negative giving us the value of x as 10 units.

The relationship between the number of hours a plumber works and the total work fee she charges is proportional. Her fee for 5 h
dolphi86 [110]

Answer: As given, relationship between the number of hours a plumber works and the total work fee she charges is proportional.

The meaning of proportional is Ratio of number of hours a plumber works and the total work fee she charges is constant.

Using Unitary method

5 hours of work = $350

1 hours of work = $70

Let number of hours worked = x hours

Amount earned for x hours of work is represented by = $ y

For , x hours of work amount earned = 70 x (x=1,2,3...)

→y= 70 x

→→

What is the value of the x-coordinate of point W? Enter your answer as a decimal to the nearest 0.5.
levacccp [35]
I attached a screenshot with the complete question.

Answer:
x-coordinate of point w is nearly -3.5

Explanation:
To get the x-coordinate of a certain point, we would need to read the value of this point on the horizontal axis (the x-axis).
Taking a look at point w, we would find that it is in the second quadrant. This means that it has a negative x-value.
Now, reading the x-value on the horizontal axis, we can see that it is nearly midway between points -3 and -4.
This means that point w is approximately -3.5

Hope this helps :)
