Answer:

Solution given:

Since the given triangle is isosceles and right angled triangle

perpendicular [p]=base[b]=x

hypotenuse [h]=6

we have

by using Pythagoras law

p²+b²=h²

x²+x²=6²

2x²=36

x²=36/2

x²=18

x= $\sqrt{18}$

x= $\bold{3\sqrt{2}}$

Max makes and sells posters. The function p(x)= -10x^2 +200x -250, graphed below, indicates how much profit he makes in a month

viktelen [127]

Here is our profit as a function of # of posters
p(x) =-10x² + 200x - 250
Here is our price per poster, as a function of the # of posters:
pr(x) = 20 - x
Since we want to find the optimum price and # of posters, let's plug our price function into our profit function, to find the optimum x, and then use that to find the optimum price:
p(x) = -10 (20-x)² + 200 (20 - x) - 250
p(x) = -10 (400 -40x + x²) + 4000 - 200x - 250
Take a look at our profit function. It is a normal trinomial square, with a negative sign on the squared term. This means the curve is a downward facing parabola, so our profit maximum will be the top of the curve.
By taking the derivative, we can find where p'(x) = 0 (where the slope of p(x) equals 0), to see where the top of profit function is.
p(x) = -4000 +400x -10x² + 4000 -200x -250
p'(x) = 400 - 20x -200
0 = 200 - 20x
20x = 200
x = 10
p'(x) = 0 at x=10. This is the peak of our profit function. To find the price per poster, plug x=10 into our price function:
price = 20 - x
price = 10
Now plug x=10 into our original profit function in order to find our maximum profit:
p(x)= -10x^2 +200x -250
p(x) = -10 (10)² +200 (10) - 250
p(x) = -1000 + 2000 - 250
p(x) = 750

Find ten rational numbers between -1 by 5 and 1 by 2

uysha [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First both the rational numbers should have same denominators. So, find least common denominator

Least common denominator is 10

$\frac{-1}{5}=\frac{-1*2}{5*2}=\frac{-2}{10}\\\\\\\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1*5}{2*5}=\frac{5}{10}\\\\\\$

Now multiply the numerator and denominators of the both the numbers by 10.

$\frac{-2*10}{10*10}= \frac{-20}{100} \ and \ \frac{5*10}{10*10}=\frac{50}{100}\\\\\\Now\ 10 \ rational \ numbers \ between\frac{-20}{10} \ and \ \frac{50}{100} \ is \\\\\\\frac{-19}{100},\frac{-18}{100},\frac{-17}{100},\frac{-16}{100}.\frac{-15}{100},\frac{-14}{100},\frac{-13}{100},\frac{-12}{100},\frac{-11}{100};\frac{-10}{100}$
