Answer:

<u>k = 1.5</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of k, at first we will find the point of intersection of the lines

y =2x –5 and y = –x+1

Solve the equations to together by equating the values of y

So, 2x - 5 = -x + 1

Solve for x

3x = 6 ⇒ x = 6/3 = 2

So, y = -x + 1 = -2 + 1 = -1

So, the point of intersection of the lines ⇒ (2,-1)

line y = kx –4 pass through the point of intersection of the lines

so, line y = kx –4 pass through the point (2,-1)

So, at x = 2 , y = -1

∴ -1 = 2k - 4

Solve for k

-1 + 4 = 2k

2k = 3

k = 3/2 = 1.5

<u>So, the value of k is 1.5</u>

Solve 5x(x-6)(4x+9)=0
xxTIMURxx [149]
Greetings and Happy Holidays!

Solve 
for x.
5x(x-6)(4x+9)=0<span>

Distribute the parenthesis:
</span>5x(x-6)(4x+9)=0

(5x^2-30x)(4x+9)=0

(20x^3-120x^2)+(45x^2-270x)=0

Combine like terms:
20x^3-75x^2-270x=0

Factor out GCF (5x):
5x(4x^2-15x-54)=0

Factor the Complex Trinomial:
5x(4x^2+9x-24x-54)=0

5x(x(4x+9)-6(4x-9))=0

5x((4x+9)(x-6))=0

Set Factors to Equal 0:
5x=0

x=0

or

4x+9=0

4x=-9

x=\frac{-9}{4}

or

x-6=0

x=6

The Answers Are:
\boxed{x=0} \\ \boxed{x= \frac{-9}{4}} \\ \boxed{x=6}

I hope this helped!

What is the final answer?

<h3>Answer:  42</h3>

Explanation:

We have y = -0.9x^2 + 76x - 250 which is in the form y = ax^2+bx+c

where,

  • a = -0.9
  • b = 76
  • c = -250

The vertex (h,k) is when the profit is maxed out.

h = -b/(2a)

h = -76/(2(-0.9))

h = 42.222 approximately

Let's plug in x values around x = 42

Try x = 41

y = -0.9x^2 + 76x - 250

y = -0.9(41)^2 + 76(41) - 250

y = 1353.10

Now try x = 42

y = -0.9x^2 + 76x - 250

y = -0.9(42)^2 + 76(42) - 250

y = 1354.4

Now try x = 43

y = -0.9x^2 + 76x - 250

y = -0.9(43)^2 + 76(43) - 250

y = 1353.9

We see that the largest profit happens when x = 42.

Softa [21]

Answer:

(2)(120)(80) + (2)(120)(50) - (4)(60)(5²)

Step-by-step explanation:

The lateral faces of the building are the 4 sides of the building consisting:

2 rectangles of 120 ft by 80 ft

Area of the two rectangular faces = (2)(120)(80)

And

2 rectangles of 120 ft by 50 ft

Area of the two rectangular faces = (2)(120)(50)

✔️Total lateral surface area of the building = (2)(120)(80) + (2)(120)(50)

Note: we are asked to find the expression that represents the total surface area that needs to be painted given that there are 60 windows on each lateral face of the building of the shape of a square with side lengths of 5 ft.

Therefore, the total lateral surface area of the building that will be painted = total lateral surface of the building - total area covered by the 60 windows on each face of the building

Surface area covered by 60 windows in the 4 lateral face of the building = (4)(60)(5²)

✅total lateral surface area of the building that will be painted = (2)(120)(80) + (2)(120)(50) - (4)(60)(5²)
