Finding X in triangle

Solve Using Substitution -9x + 6y = 18 y = -6

Sidana [21]

Answer:

the answer should be x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

-9x + 6y = 18

-9x + 6(-6) = 18

-9x - 36 = 18

-9x - 36 + 36 = 18 + 36

-9x = 54

-9x ÷ -9 = 54 ÷ -9

x = -6

The profit P (in thousands of dollars) for a company spending an amount s (in thousands of dollars on advertising is

sattari [20]

Answer:

The company should spend $40 to yield a maximum profit.

The point of diminishing returns is (40, 3600).

Derivative Notation

Derivative Property [Multiplied Constant]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} [cf(x)] = c \cdot f'(x)$

Derivative Property [Addition/Subtraction]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(x) + g(x)] = \frac{d}{dx}[f(x)] + \frac{d}{dx}[g(x)]$

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

1st Derivative Test - tells us where on the function f(x) does it have a relative maximum or minimum

Critical Numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

$\displaystyle P = \frac{-1}{10}s^3 + 6s^2 + 400$

Step 2: Differentiate

[Function] Derivative Property [Addition/Subtraction]: $\displaystyle P' = \frac{dP}{ds} \bigg[ \frac{-1}{10}s^3 \bigg] + \frac{dP}{ds} [ 6s^2 ] + \frac{dP}{ds} [ 400 ]$
[Derivative] Rewrite [Derivative Property - Multiplied Constant]: $\displaystyle P' = \frac{-1}{10} \frac{dP}{ds} \bigg[ s^3 \bigg] + 6 \frac{dP}{ds} [ s^2 ] + \frac{dP}{ds} [ 400 ]$
[Derivative] Basic Power Rule: $\displaystyle P' = \frac{-1}{10}(3s^2) + 6(2s)$
[Derivative] Simplify: $\displaystyle P' = -\frac{3s^2}{10} + 12s$

Step 3: 1st Derivative Test

[Derivative] Set up: $\displaystyle 0 = -\frac{3s^2}{10} + 12s$
[Derivative] Factor: $\displaystyle 0 = \frac{-3s(s - 40)}{10}$
[Multiplication Property of Equality] Isolate s terms: $\displaystyle 0 = -3s(s - 40)$
[Solve] Find quadratic roots: $\displaystyle s = 0, 40$

∴ s = 0, 40 are our critical numbers.

Step 4: Find Profit

[Function] Substitute in s = 0: $\displaystyle P(0) = \frac{-1}{10}(0)^3 + 6(0)^2 + 400$
[Order of Operations] Evaluate: $\displaystyle P(0) = 400$
[Function] Substitute in s = 40: $\displaystyle P(40) = \frac{-1}{10}(40)^3 + 6(40)^2 + 400$
[Order of Operations] Evaluate: $\displaystyle P(40) = 3600$

We see that we will have a bigger profit when we spend s = $40.

∴ The maximum profit is $3600.

∴ The point of diminishing returns is ($40, $3600).

Find the greatest common factor of the following monomials: 20a3 and 8a2

dimulka [17.4K]

GCF of given monomials are $4a^2$

Solution:

Given that we have to find the greatest common factor

Given monomials are:

$20a^3 \text{ and } 8a^2$

When we find all the factors of two or more numbers, and some factors are the same, then the largest of those common factors is the Greatest Common Factor

Let us first find the GCF of 20 and 8 and then find GCF of variables and then multiply them together

GCF of 20 and 8:

The factors of 8 are: 1, 2, 4, 8

The factors of 20 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20

Then the greatest common factor is 4

$GCF\ of\ a^3 \text{ and } a^2\\\\a^3 = a^2 \times a\\\\a^2 = a^2$

Thus GCF is $a^2$

Therefore GCF of monomials are:

$\text{GCF of } 20a^3 \text{ and } 8a^2 = 4 \times a^2 = 4a^2$

Thus GCF of given monomials are $4a^2$

0.69 rounded to the nearest hundred

patriot [66]

Answer:

0.07 Locate and underline the hundredths place (6) then look at the digit to the right (9):

0.069

Step 2: In this case, the digit to the right (9) is 5 or above. So, we add 1 to the hundredths place (6). The digit(s) after the (6) are replaced by zeros (or dropped)
