The total monthly profit for a firm is P(x)=6400x−18x^2− (1/3)x^3−40000 dollars, where x is the number of units sold. A maximum

of 100 units can be sold per month.
How many units should be sold to maximize monthly profit? units

What is the maximum monthly profit when this number of units are sold? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) dollars

(Hint: When you solve for the critical values in this question, you'll have to solve a quadratic equation. You can do that using the quadratic formula, or you can do it by factoring.)

Answer:

Maximum profits are earned when x = 64 that is when 64 units are sold.

Maximum Profit = P(64) = 2,08,490.666667$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:P(x) = 6400x - 18x^2 - \frac{x^3}{3} - 40000, where P(x) is the profit function.

We will use double derivative test to find maximum profit.

Differentiating P(x) with respect to x and equating to zero, we get,

\displaystyle\frac{d(P(x))}{dx} = 6400 - 36x - x^2

Equating it to zero we get,

x^2 + 36x - 6400 = 0

We use the quadratic formula to find the values of x:

x = \displaystyle\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}, where a, b and c are coefficients of x^2, x^1 , x^0 respectively.

Putting these value we get x = -100, 64

Now, again differentiating

\displaystyle\frac{d^2(P(x))}{dx^2} = -36 - 2x

At x = 64,  \displaystyle\frac{d^2(P(x))}{dx^2} < 0

Hence, maxima occurs at x = 64.

Therefore, maximum profits are earned when x = 64 that is when 64 units are sold.

Maximum Profit = P(64) = 2,08,490.666667$

Two sides of a triangle are given as 28 inches and 42 inches. find all possible lengths for the third side of the triangle
timofeeve [1]
The longest side of  a triangle must be less than the sum of the other 2 sides

2 senarios

the 3rd side is the longest
the 3rd side is not the longest



for the 3rd side is the longest

3rdside<28+42
3rdside<70


for 3rd side isn't the longest
42 is longest
42<28+3rdside
14<3rdside

so we've got
3rdside<70 and 14<3rdside

so
14<3rdside<70

the 3rd side can be any number from 14in to 70in except 14in and 70in
