The maximum profit is the highest point on the curve at (3, 45), and since the y-value is the profit in hundreds of dollars, the maximum profit is $4500.
The shop is making a profit as long as the curve is above the x-axis, so this is over the given interval (0, 10).
The maximum profit is earned at x = 3, and the x-value is the money spent on advertising in hundreds of dollars, so this means that $300 was spent of advertising.

Solve the triangle. Round lengths to the nearest tenth and angle measures to the nearest degree. B = 15° C = 113° b = 49

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

A = 52°, a = 149.2, c = 174.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Technology is useful for this. Many graphing calculators can solve triangles for you. The attachment shows a phone app that does this, too.

___

The Law of Sines can give you the value of c, so you can choose the correct answer from those offered.

c = sin(C)·b/sin(B) = sin(113°)·49/sin(15°) ≈ 174.271 ≈ 174.3 . . . . . third choice

A six-foot-tall person is standing next to a flagpole. The person is casting a shadow 1 1/2 feet in length, while the flagpole i

Answer: 20 ft

This problem can be solved by the Thales’s theorem, which states:

Two triangles are similar when they have equal angles and proportional sides

It should be noted that to apply Thales' Theorem, it is necessary to establish the two triangles are similar, that is, that they have the corresponding angles equal or that their sides are proportional to each other.

Now, if we measure the shadow of the flagpole and the shadow of the person, at the same moment, we can use the first Thales' Theorem to calculate the height of the flagpole, knowing the height of the person.

In this case we have two similar triangles (Figure attached) where $H$ is the height of the flagpole, $h=6 ft$ is the height of the person, $A=5 ft$ is the length of the shadow of the flagpole and $a=1\frac{1}{2}=1.5 ft$ is the length of the shadow of the person.
