Brach and Larue is a home goods store chain, and it is about to introduce a new convection oven that’s expected to sell very wel

l across its stores. These are the projected revenue and cost functions for the ovens:
R(x) = -13.85x2 + 1,660x
C(x) = 55,400 – 279x

What is the maximum profit that can be made from selling the ovens?

Answer:

\$12,465

Step-by-step explanation:

The functions for cost and revenue are given below:

Projected \:Revenue,R(x)=  -13.85x^2 + 1660x\\$Projected Cost, C(x)=55400 -279x\\Projected Profit = Revenue-Cost=R(x)-C(x)\\=-13.85x^2 + 1660x-(55400 -279x)\\=-13.85x^2 + 1660x-55400 +279x\\P(x)=-13.85x^2 + 1939x-55400

The profit will be maximized at its <u>line of symmetry,</u>x=-\dfrac{b}{2a}<u />

From P(x), a=-13.85, b=1939

<u>Line of symmetry,</u>

<u />x=-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{1939}{2(-13.85)}=70<u />

<u>The maximum profit that can be made will occur when x=70</u>

<u />P(x)=-13.85x^2 + 1939x-55400\\P(70)=-13.85(70)^2 + 1939(70)-55400\\=\$12,465<u />

The maximum profit that can be made form the sales of the oven is $12,465.

Tim dug a hole that was 16 1/2 inches deep.He left a pile of dirt next to the hole that was 8 3/4 inches high.Show how you could
Viktor [21]

Answer:

14 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the hole = 16(½) inches

Length of the dirt = 8(¾)inches

The distance between the top of the pile to the bottom of the hole = ?

Since the dirt is beside the hole and not inside the hole, we can find it's length using addition.

Distance from the top to the bottom = length of dirt + length of the hole

Length of dirt = 8×¾ = 6 inches

Length of the hole = 16 × ½ = 8 inches

Distance from the top of the dirt to the bottom of the hole = (6 + 8) inches

Distance from the top of the dirt to the bottom of the hole = 14 inches

Note: the only way we can use subtraction here is if the hole was filled with dirt, what's the distance that's left

Distance left = length of hole - length of dirt

Distance left = 8 - 6 = 2 inches .

But what the question requested was the distance from the top of the dirt to the bottom of the hole
