6.) the following function represents the profit P(n) in dollars that a concert promoter makes by selling tickets for n dollars

each:
P(n)=-250n^2+3,250n-9,000

Part A: What are the zeroes of the above function and what do they represent? Show your work.

Part B: Find the maximum profit by completing the square of the function P(n ). Show the steps of your work.

Part C: What is the axis of symmetry of the function P(n )?

For Part A, what to do first is to equate the given equation to zero in order to find your x intercepts (zeroes)

0=-250n^2+3,250n-9,000 after factoring out, we get

-250(n-4)(n-9) and these are your zero values.

For Part B, you need to square the function from the general equation Ax^2+Bx+C=0. So to do that, we use the equated form of the equation 0=-250n^2+3,250n-9,000 and in order to have a positive value of 250n^2, we divide both sides by -1

250n^2-3,250n+9,000=0

to simplify, we divide it by 250 to get n^2-13n+36=0 or n^2-13n = -36 (this form is easier in order to complete the square, ax^2+bx=c)

in squaring, we need to apply <span><span><span>(<span>b/2</span>)^2 to both sides where our b is -13 so,
(-13/2)^2 is 169/4

so the equation now becomes n^2-13n+169/4 = 25/4 or to simplify, we apply the concept of a perfect square binomial, so the equation turns out like this 

(n-13/2)^2 = 25/4 then to find the value of n, we apply the square root to both sides to obtain n-13/2 = 5/2 and n is 9. This gives us the confirmation from Part A. 

For Part C, since the function is a binomial so the graph is a parabola. The axis of symmetry would be x=5.

The length of a rectangle is 24 units. Can the perimeter x of the rectangle be 60 units when its width y is 11 units? (1 point)
zlopas [31]
The first choice is correct. No, the rectangle cannot have x=60 and y=11 because x=48+2y.

Perimeter is x=2w+2y. Therefore x=2(24)+2(11) which equals 70 not 60.

Answer:

The correct option is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given graph it is noticed that the related line passing through the point (-3,1) and (0,3).

If a line passing through two points, then the equation of line is

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

The equation of related line is

y-1=\frac{3-1}{0-(-3)}(x-(-3))

y-1=\frac{2}{3}(x+3)

y-1=\frac{2}{3}(x)+2

Add 1 on both the sides.

y=\frac{2}{3}(x)+2+1

y=\frac{2}{3}(x)+3

The equation of related line is y=\frac{2}{3}(x)+3.

The related line is a dotted line, it means the point on the line does not included in the solution set.

The shaded region is above the line so the sign of inequity is >.

The required inequality is

y>\frac{2}{3}(x)+3

Therefore option 3 is correct.

The sum of 32,476 and a number P is divided by 381, the quotient is 100 and remainder is zero. Find the number P.
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

p = 5,624

Step-by-step explanation:

(32,476 + p) / 381 = 100

multiply both sides by 381

32,476 + p = 38,100

Subtract 32476 from both sides

p = 5,624
