Answer:

$519

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the amount of profit made expressed as y=-2x^2+105x-859

At maximum profit, dy/dx = 0

dy/dx = -4x + 105

0 = -4x + 105

4x = 105

x = 105/4

x = 26.25

Substitute into the original function

y=-2x^2+105x-859

y=-2(26.25)^2+105(26.25)-859

y = - 1,378.125+2,756.25-859

y = 519.125

Hence the maximum amount of profit the company can make is $519

In the diagram, AE = 2AC and ∠BAC ≅ ∠DAE. What additional information is necessary to prove that ΔABC is similar to ΔADE, using
ss7ja [257]

Since you want to use the SAS theorem, you must find sides that are either side of angles BAC and DAE. You have already made use of sides AE and AC, so the other sides you need to choose are AB and AD. The appropriate relationship for similarity is ...

... AD = 2AB

since you want the sides of triangle ADE to be twice then length of those in triangle ABC.

Line a passes through that point (-8,-7) and has a slope of 5/8. Choose the equation that best represents A
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

y = 5/8 x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the slope of the line, m=5/8, which passes through the point (-8,-7).

Let the equation of the line be y=mx+c

where m is the slope of the line and c is a constant.

As m=5/8, so the equation of line become

y= 5/8x+c

As the line passes through the point (-8,-7), so putting y= -7 and x= -8, we have

-7 = 5/8(-8)+c

-7 = -5 + c

c= -7 + 5

c= -2

On putting the value of c, the equation of line become

y=5/8 x -2

Hence, the equation of the line is y = 5/8 x -2.
