Answer:

Polygon is pentagon

Step-by-step explanation:

In a regular polygon each angle is equal.

In a regular polygon Each angle of polygon is given by (2n-4)90/n

where n is the number of sides of the polygon

given

An interior angle of a regular polygon has a measure of 108°.

(2n-4)90/n = 108

=> 180n - 360 = 108n

=> 180n-108n= 360

=> 72n = 360

=> n = 360/72 = 5

Thus, polygon has 5 sides

and we know that regular polygon which has 5 sides is called pentagon.

Thus, Polygon is pentagon

A profit of a football club after a takeover is modeled by p(t) = t3 - 14t2 + 20t + 120, which t is the number of years after th

Bogdan [553]

T = 5, so after 5 years
p(t) = t^3 - 14t^2 + 20t + 120

Take derivative to find minimum:
p’(t) = 3t^2 - 28t + 10

Factor to solve for t:
p’(t) = (3t - 2)(t - 5)
0 = (3t - 2)(t - 5)

0 = 3t - 2
2 = 3t
2/3 = t

Plug 2/3 into original equation, this is a maximum. We want the minimum:

0 = t - 5
5 = t

Plug back into original:
5^3 - 14(5)^2 + 20(5) + 120
125 - 14(25) + 100 + 120
125 - 350 + 220
- 225 + 220
p(5) = -5
