The function f(x) = −x2 + 44x − 384 models the daily profit, in dollars, a shop makes for selling donut combos, where x is the n

umber of combos sold and f(x) is the amount of profit. Part A: Determine the vertex. What does this calculation mean in the context of the problem? Part B: Determine the x-intercepts. What do these values mean in the context of the problem?

A)
The vertex can be determined using the completing square method.
f(x) = -(x² - 44x + 384)
= -(x² - 44x + 384 + 22² - 22²)
= -(x - 22)² - 384 + 22²
= -(x - 22)² + 100
The vertex is (22 , 100) and this means that the maximum profit(due to negative sign of coefficient of x) is $100 and is achieved when 22 combos are sold
B) 0 = -(x - 22)² + 100
x - 22 = 10
x = 32
x - 22 = -10
x = 12
This means the shop gains no profit when it sells 32 or 12 combos, and this can be due to the production cost being equal to the money gained via sales.

Can someone be so freaking awesome and help me out with the correct answer please :( !?!?!?!?!???!!! 30 points!!!

\bf 7~~,~~\stackrel{7+6}{13}~~,~~\stackrel{13+6}{19}~~,~~\stackrel{19+6}{25}\qquad \impliedby \qquad \textit{common difference "d" is 6}

we know all it's doing is adding 6 over again to each term to get the next one, so then

\bf \stackrel{\textit{Recursive Formula}}{\stackrel{\textit{nth term}}{f(n)}~~=~~\stackrel{\textit{the term before it}}{f(n-1)}~~~~\stackrel{\textit{plus 6}}{+~~~~6}}

now for the explicit one

\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence} \\\\ a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad \begin{cases} n=n^{th}\ term\\ a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\ d=\textit{common difference}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ a_1=7\\ d=6 \end{cases} \\\\\\ a_n=7+(n-1)6\implies a_n=7+6n-6\implies \stackrel{\textit{Explicit Formula}}{\stackrel{f(n)}{a_n}=6n+1} \\\\\\ therefore\qquad \qquad f(10)=6(10)+1\implies f(10)=61

If a work group consistently achieves 80 % of its quarterly goals and the work group generally has 25 objectives per quarter how
storchak [24]
What this question is asking you to find 80% of 25. 10% of 25 is 2.5 because there is always a decimal point directly to the right of the ones place. (25.0)
You would move the decimal point over one place to find 10% of a given number. How I would approach this is to multiply 2.5 by 8 to find 80% of 25

2.5 x 8 = 20

80% of 25 = 20

You can expect the work group to get done 20 out of 25 of their objectives per quarter
