Answer:

The company must sell 60 or 70 items to obtain a weekly profit of 200.

Step-by-step explanation:

The profit is the difference between the revenue and the cost of a given task, therefore:

\text{profit} = R - C\\\text{profit} = 66*x - 0.2*x^2 - (40*x + 640)\\\text{profit} = 66*x - 0.2*x^2 - 40*x - 640\\\text{profit} = - 0.2*x^2 + 26*x - 640

To have a profit of 200, we need to sell:

-0.2*x^2 + 26*x - 640 = 200\\-0.2*x^2 + 26*x -840 = 0\text{ } *\frac{-1}{0.2}\\x^2 -130 + -4200 = 0\\x_{1,2} = \frac{-(-130) \pm \sqrt{(-130)^2 - 4*1*(-4200)}}{2*1}\\x_{1,2} = \frac{130 \pm \sqrt{16900 + 16800}}{2}\\x_{1,2} = \frac{130 \pm \sqrt{100}}{2}\\x_{1,2} = \frac{130 \pm 10}{2}\\x_{1} = \frac{130 + 10}{2} = \frac{140}{2} = 70\\ x_{2} = \frac{130 - 10}{2} = \frac{120}{2}  = 60

The company must sell 60 or 70 items to obtain a weekly profit of 200.

How do I find the median for a congruent triangle
Andrej [43]
The length of a median is equal to half the square root of the difference of twice the sum of the squares of the two sides of the triangle that include the vertex the mediam is drawn from and the square of the side of the triangle the median is drawn to.

triangle sides by a, b, c.

ma=122c2+2b2−a2

mb=122c2+2a2−b2

Brian is riding his bike. He biked a distance of 14 miles at a rate of 14 miles per hour. Rearrange the distance formula, d = rt
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

60 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = Rate × Time

14 miles = 14mph × ?

Hence, time = 14 miles ÷ 14 mph = 1 hour

1 hour = 60 minutes.

He rode his bike for 60 minutes.
