F(x)=5x^2-70x+258
Solving by completing square methods gives us:
5x^2-70x=-258
x^2-14x=-51.6
c=(b/2a)^2
c=(-14/2)^2
c=49
x^2-14x+49=-51.6+49
(x-7)(x-7)=-2.6
(x-7)^2=-2.6
multiplying through by 5 you get:
5(x-7)^2+13=0
The answer is:
A] <span>5(x − 7)2 + 13; The minimum cost to produce the product is $13. </span>
Melissa is standing 40 ft from a tree, so m = 40 is base of the triangle.
angle of elevation (aoe) = 50°
The tree's height (h) is the side opposite the aoe (50°), therefore in trigonometry tangent 50 = opposite / adjacent. The side adjacent to that angle (50°) is the base (m). Therefore:
tan50 = h/m
And now h = m (tan50)
h = 40 (1.19) = 47.7 ft
Unless if you have the solution for a you can find b
