Answer:
Between 1000 and 5000 snowboards will make the function AP(x) >0.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since x can only take possitive values, we have that AP(x) = P(x)/x > 0 if and only if P(x) > 0.
In order to find when P(x) > 0, we find the values from where it is 0 and then we use the Bolzano Theorem.
P(x) = R(x) - C(x) = -x²+10x - (4x+5) = -x²+6x - 5. the roots of P can be found using the quadratic formula:
Therefore, P(1) = P(5) = 0. Lets find intermediate values to apply Bolzano Theorem:
- P(0) = -5 < 0 ( P is negative in (-∞ , 1) )
- P(2) = -4+6*2-5 = 3 > 0 (P is positive in (1,5) )
- P(6) = -36+36-5 = -5 < 0 (P is negative in (5, +∞) )
The production levels that make AP(x) >0 are between 1000 and 5000 snowboards (because we take x by thousands)
Answer:
1.a=2
2. C x=2 and x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form for the quadratic function is
ax^2 +bx+c
so we need to rewrite the function to be in this form
2x^2 -10 = 7x
Subtract 7x from each side
2x^2 -7x-10 = 7x-7x
2x^2 -7x-10 = 0
a =2, b= -7 c=-10
2. The quadratic formula is
-b ± sqrt(b^2 -4ac)
----------------------------
2a
2x^2 + 2x=12
Lest get the equation in proper form
2x^2 + 2x-12 = 12-12
2x^2 +2x-12 =0
a=2 b=2 c=-12
Lets substitute what we know
-2 ± sqrt(2^2 -4(2)(-12))
----------------------------
2(2)
-2 ± sqrt(4+96)
----------------------------
2(2)
-2 ± sqrt(100)
----------------------------
4
-2 ± 10
----------------------------
4
-2 + 10 -2-10
----------- and --------------
4 4
8/4 and -12/4
2 and -3
A+b = 5
b+c= 3 1/2
2 times 2 + 3 = 7
a times d =8
c+c = 1
(e)2 = 1/9
Answer: x = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
You take the 4% and multiply that by eight then you get 0.32 and you multiply that by 1000 and you get 320.00
