Keegan is printing and selling his original design on t-shirts. He has concluded that for x shirts, in thousands sold his total

profits will be p(x) = dollars, in thousands will be earned. How may t-shirts (rounded to the nearest whole number) should he print in order to make maximum profits? What will his profits rounded to the nearest whole dollar be if he prints that number of shirts?

Answer:

t-shirts: 2790

profit: $12209

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  the function:

p(x) = -x³ + 4x² + x

we want to maximize it.

The following criteria must be satisfied at the maximum:

dp/dx = 0

d²p/dx² < 0

dp/dx = -3x² + 8x + 1 = 0

Using quadratic formula:

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4(a)(c)}}{2(a)}

x = \frac{-8 \pm \sqrt{8^2 -4(-3)(1)}}{2(-3)}

x = \frac{-8 \pm 8.72}{-6}

x_1 = \frac{-8 + 8.72}{-6}

x_1 = -0.12

x_2 = \frac{-8 - 8.72}{-6}

x_2 = 2.79

d²p/dx² = -6x + 8

d²p/dx² at x = -0.12: -6(-0.12) + 8 = 8.72 > 0

d²p/dx² at x = 2.79: -6(2.79) + 8 = -8.74 < 0

Then, he should prints 2.79 thousands, that is, 2790 t-shirts to make maximum profits.

Replacing into profit equation:

p(x) = -(2.79)³ + 4(2.79)² + 2.79 =  12.209

that is, $12209

(08.03 LC) Factor completely: x2 + 10x + 24 (5 points) Prime (x + 12)(x + 2) (x + 3)(x + 8) (x + 6)(x + 4)
Alona [7]

Answer:

Option C is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to factorize the expression:

x^2+10x+24

For factorization we need to break the middle term such that the product is equal to 24x^2 and the sum is equal to 10x

We know that 6*4 = 24 and 6+4 =10

So, solving

=x^2+6x+4x+24

Taking common

=x(x+6)+4(x+6)

=(x+4)(x+6)

So, the factors of

x^2+10x+24

are

(x+4)(x+6)

Hence Option C is correct
