Answer:

In order to make the maximum profit, the company should sell each widget at (the currency isn't given, so I'll be assuming USD) $36.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of profit <em>y</em> made by the company from selling each widget at <em>x</em> price is modeled by the equation:

y=-x^2+72x-458

Since this is a quadratic with a negative leading coefficient, its maximum will occur at its vertex point. We want to find the price that the widget should be sold to make the maximum profit. So, we want to find the <em>x-</em>coordinate of the vertex. This is given by the formula:

\displaystyle x=-\frac{b}{2a}

In this case, <em>a</em> = -1, <em>b</em> = 72, and <em>c</em> = -458. Substitute and evaluate:

\displaystyle x=-\frac{72}{2(-1)}=36

In order to make the maximum profit, the company should sell each widget at (the currency isn't given, so I'll be assuming USD) $36.

Molodets [167]

Answer: Does not exist.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, given function,  f(x) = 6x tan x, where −π/2 < x < π/2.

⇒ f(x) = \frac{6x sin x}{cosx}

And, for vertical asymptote,  cosx= 0

⇒ x = π/2 + nπ where n is any integer.

But, for any n x is does not exist in the interval ( -π/2, π/2)

Therefore, vertical asymptote of f(x) where −π/2 < x < π/2 does not exist.

What is the value of the x-coordinate of point A?
OLEGan [10]
Answer: F (cos(230)).
Explanation:
Cosine corresponds to the x coordinate of points on a circle when the radius is drawn in like this, so the answer would be the cos of that angle, but you have to account for the fact that the 50 degree angle marked is just the reference angle not the entire angle so you have to add 180 degrees to that to get 230.
