Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the 2 numbers, where x has a greater value than y.

We have x - y = 2 and x + y = 14. Adding the 2 equations up, we get 2x = 16, x = 8.

Then (8) + y = 14, y = 6.

Since the numbers are 8 and 6, the product is 48.

Answer:

3053.63

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation for sphere volume: $V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

Plug the values in and get $V=\frac{4}{3}\pi 9^3=3053.62805929$

≈ 3053.63

Note: exact value of pi used.

A company's profit C (in thousands of dollars) can be modeled by the polynomial function C = - 5x ^ 3 + 6x ^ 2 + 15x , where x i

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

849 items.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the profit C (in thousands of dollars) for x thousands of items related as

$C = - 5x ^ 3 + 6x ^ 2 + 15x \\\\\Rightarrow -5x^3+6x^2+15x -C=0\cdots(i)$

As the profit is $14,000 for producing 2000 items, so

C= 14 thousand dollars and

x= 2 thousand items.

Putting C= 14 in the equation ( we have),

$-5x^3+6x^2+15x -14=0\cdots(ii)$

Now, x=2 is one of the solutions to the equation (ii), so (x-2) is a factor of the equation (ii), we have

$(x-2)(-5x^2-4x+7)=0 \\\\\Rightarrow x-2=2 \; or \; -5x^2-4x+7=0$

We have the given solution for x-2=0, so sloving -5x^2-4x+7=0 for other solutions.

$-5x^2-4x+7=0 \\\\\Rightarrow x= \frac {-(-4)\pm \sqrt {(-4)^2-4\times (-5)7}}{2\times (-5)} \\\\\Rightarrow x= \frac {4\pm \sqrt {156}}{2\times (-5)} \\\\\Rightarrow x= \frac {4\pm 12.49}{2\times (-5)} \\\\\Rightarrow x = \frac {4+ 12.49}{2\times (-5)}, \frac {4- 12.49}{2\times (-5)} \\\\\Rightarrow x = -1.649, 0.849$
