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.

What could this answer be??
bekas [8.4K]

The number in the parentheses is the rate of change. Because this number is less than 1 it is a decrease, so it is a decay.

The percent decrease is 1 - 0.63 = 0.37 = 37% decrease

What is the answer to 5t-26=18t
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

t = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

5t - 26 = 18t

Add 26 to both sides:

5t - 26 + 26 = 18t + 26

Simplify:

5t = 18t + 26

Subtract 18t from both sides:

5t - 18t = 18t + 26 - 18t

Simplify:

-13t = 26

Divide both sides by -13:

-13t/-13 = 26/-13

Therefore:

t = -2

I hope this helps!
