Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=2x+2$

To find f(−1) , substitute the values of x that's - 1 into f(x). That is for every x in f(x) replace it with - 1

That's

$f( - 1) = 2( - 1) + 2 \\ = - 2 + 2$

We have the final answer as

$f( - 1) = 0$

Hope this helps you

A company sells widgets. The amount of profit, y, made by the

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

846.06 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of profit, y, made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the given equation as follows :

$y = -4x^2 + 183x- 1247$ ...(1)

We need to find out the maximum amount of profit the company can make.

For maximum profit put dy/dx = 0

So,

$\dfrac{d}{dx}(-4x^2 + 183x- 1247)=0\\\\-8x+183=0\\\\x=\dfrac{183}{8}\\\\x=22.87$

Put x = 22.87 in equation (1). So,

$y = -4(22.87)^2 + 183(22.87)- 1247\\\\=846.06$

So, the maximum profit is 846.06 units.

dem82 [27]

Answer:

229.23 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pictorial representation of the problem is attached herewith.

Our goal is to determine the height, h of the tree in the right triangle given.

In Triangle BOH

$Tan 60^0=\dfrac{h}{x}\\h=xTan 60^0$

Similarly, In Triangle BOL

$Tan 50^0=\dfrac{h}{x+60}\\h=(x+60)Tan 50^0$

Equating the Value of h

$xTan 60^0=(x+60)Tan 50^0\\xTan 60^0=xTan 50^0+60Tan 50^0\\xTan 60^0-xTan 50^0=60Tan 50^0\\x(Tan 60^0-Tan 50^0)=60Tan 50^0\\x=\dfrac{60Tan 50^0}{Tan 60^0-Tan 50^0} ft$

Since we have found the value of x, we can now determine the height, h of the tree.

$h=\left(\dfrac{60Tan 50^0}{Tan 60^0-Tan 50^0}\right)\cdotTan 60^0\\h=229.23 feet$

The height of the tree is 229.23 feet.
