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

Felipe made sand art bottles to sell at his school's craft fair. He wanted to use 9 different colors of sand. So, he bought 1 po
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:  Felipe made 24 sand art bottles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total different colors of sand = 9

Weight of each color sand = 1 pound

Then, the weight of all 9 colors would be  9 × 1 = 9 pounds

Since 1 pound = 16 ounces

Then, 9 pounds = 9 × 16 = 144 ounces

capacity of each bottle = 6 ounce

Then, the number of bottles required = ( 144 ounces) ÷ 6

= 24

Hence,  Felipe made 24 sand art bottles.

Write an equation of the line that passes through (-6.0) and (0, – 24).​
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

y = -4x - 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, figure out the slope. To do that, plug the coordinates in the formula.

y2 - y1 / x2 -x1

= -24 - 0 / 0 - (-6)

= -4

The slope is -4/1x.

To figure out the y-intercept, you need to plug one of the coordinates into

y = -4x + b

0 = -4(-6) + b

0 = 24 +b

-24 = b
