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

The line with the equation 4/5x +1/3y=1 is graphed one the xy-plane. What is the x-coordinate of the x-intercept of the line?
leva [86]

Answer:

x = 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept looks like (x, 0); the coordinate 0 indicates that the point lies on the x-axis.  If we start with 4/5x + 1/3 y= 1 and let y = 0, we will get an equation for the x-intercept:

(4/5)x + (1/3)(0) =1

Then 4/5x = 1, and (5/4)(4/5)x = (1)(4/5).

Thus, x = 4/5, and the x-intercept is (4/5, 0).

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

reflected over the x-axis, compressed horizontally by a factor of 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

y(x) and f(x) means the same.

y = -(2x) means that y(x) was multiplied by -1, and x was replaced by 2x

  • -y(x) reflects y(x) across x-axis
  • y(a*x) compresses horizontally y(x) by a factor of 1/a. Here, a is 2, then the factor is 1/2.

Use the image below to answer the following parts.
12345 [234]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

Since, the given angles are formed at a point are on a straight line, sum of these angles will be 180°.

Part B

(3x - 5)° + (4x + 2)° + (2x + 3)° = 180°

9x = 180

x = 20

Part C

m∠ADB = (3x -  5)°

             = (3×20 - 5)°

             = 55°

m∠DBK = (4x + 2)°

             = (4×20 + 2)°

             = 82°

m∠KBC = (2x + 3)°

             = (2×20 + 3)°

             = 43°

Factorise (2t-7)²-(5t-4)² <br>with working pls​
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

33+12t−21t^2

Step-by-step explanation:

(2t-7)²-(5t-4)²

Use binomial theorem (a−b)^2 = a^2−2ab+b^2 to expand (2t-7)².

4t^2−28t+49−(5t-4)²

Use binomial theorem (a−b)^2 = a^2−2ab+b^2 to expand (5t-4)².

4t^2−28t+49−(25t^2−40t+16)

To find the opposite of 25t^2

−40t+16, find the opposite of each term.

4t^2−28t+49−25t^2−40t+16

Combine 4t^2  and −25t^2  to get −21t^2.

−21t^2−28t+49+40t−16

Combine −28t and 40t to get 12t.

−21t^2+12t+49−16

Subtract 16 from 49 to get 33.

−21t^2+12t+33

Swap terms to the left side.

33+12t−21t^2

I hope this helped!
