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

Harry is trying to solve the equation 0 = 2x2 − x − 6 using the quadratic formula. He has made an error in one of the steps belo

bija089 [108]

<h3><u>Given</u> - </h3>

➙ a quadratic equation in which Harry lagged due to an error made by him, 2x² - x - 6= 0

<h3><u>To solve</u> - </h3>

➙ the given quadratic equation.

<h3><u>Concept applied</u> - </h3>

➙ We will apply the quadratic formula as given in the question. So, let's study about quadratic equation first because we are supposed to apply the formula in equation.

What is quadratic equation?

➙ A quadratic equation in the variable x is an equation of the form ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b, c are real numbers, a ≠ 0.

Now, what is quadratic formula?

➙The roots of a quadratic equation ax + bx + c = 0 are given by $\sf{\:\frac{-b \pm\: \sqrt {b ^ 2 - 4ac}}{2a}}$ provided b - 4ac ≥ 0.

<h3><u>Solution</u> - </h3>

here as per the given quadratic equation,

a = 2, b = -1 and c = -6

putting in the formula,

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{-(-1) \pm\: \sqrt {(-1)^2 - 4(2)(-6)}}{2(2)}}$

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{1 \pm\: \sqrt {1+48}}{4}}$

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{1 \pm\: \sqrt {49}}{4}}$

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{1 \pm\: 7}{4}}$

Solving one by one,

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{1 + \: 7}{4}}$

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{8}{4}}$

$\implies{\boxed{\bf{x=2}}}$

________________

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{1 - \: 7}{4}}$

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{-6}{4}}$

$\implies{\boxed{\bf{x=\frac{-3}{2}}}}$

________________________________

<em><u>Note</u> - Hey dear user!! You haven't provided the solution which was solved by Harry (A.T.Q). Please go through the solution as it will help you to find the error done by Harry.</em>

Hope it helps!! (:

Match the identities to their values taking these conditions into consideration sinx=sqrt2 /2 cosy=-1/2 angle x is in the first

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

$\cos(x+y)$ goes with $-\frac{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}}{4}$

$\sin(x+y)$ goes with $\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{4}$

$\tan(x+y)$ goes with $\sqrt{3}-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\cos(x+y)$

$\cos(x)\cos(y)-\sin(x)\sin(y)$ by the addition identity for cosine.

We are given:

$\sin(x)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ which if we look at the unit circle we should see

$\cos(x)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ .

We are also given:

$\cos(y)=\frac{-1}{2}$ which if we look the unit circle we should see

$\sin(y)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ .

Apply both of these given to:

$\cos(x+y)$

$\cos(x)\cos(y)-\sin(x)\sin(y)$ by the addition identity for cosine.

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\frac{-1}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$\frac{-\sqrt{2}}{4}-\frac{\sqrt{6}}{4}$

$\frac{-\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{6}}{4}$

$-\frac{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}}{4}$

Apply both of the givens to:

$\sin(x+y)$

$\sin(x)\cos(y)+\sin(y)\cos(x)$ by addition identity for sine.

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\frac{-1}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$\frac{-\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{6}}{4}$

$\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{4}$

Now I'm going to apply what 2 things we got previously to:

$\tan(x+y)$

$\frac{\sin(x+y)}{\cos(x+y)}$ by quotient identity for tangent

$\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{-(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2})}$

$-\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}}$

Multiply top and bottom by bottom's conjugate.

When you multiply conjugates you just have to multiply first and last.

That is if you have something like (a-b)(a+b) then this is equal to a^2-b^2.

$-\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}$

$-\frac{6-\sqrt{2}\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}\sqrt{6}+2}{6-2}$

$-\frac{8-2\sqrt{12}}{4}$

There is a perfect square in 12, 4.

$-\frac{8-2\sqrt{4}\sqrt{3}}{4}$

$-\frac{8-2(2)\sqrt{3}}{4}$

$-\frac{8-4\sqrt{3}}{4}$

Divide top and bottom by 4 to reduce fraction:

$-\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{1}$

$-(2-\sqrt{3})$

Distribute:

$\sqrt{3}-2$
