The profit (in thousands of dollars) of a company is given by P(x) = -8x2 + 32x + 14.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The profit (in thousands of dollars) of a company is given by the function:

\displaystyle P(x) = -8x^2+32x+14

And we want to find the maximum profit of the company.

Since the function is a quadratic with a negative leading coefficient, the maximum profit will occur at its vertex. Recall that the vertex of a quadratic is given by:

\displaystyle \text{Vertex} = \left(-\frac{b}{2a}, f\left(-\frac{b}{2a}\right)\right)

Find the <em>x-</em>coordinate of the vertex. In this case, <em>a</em> = -8, <em>b</em> = 32, and <em>c</em> = 14. Hence:

\displaystyle x=-\frac{(32)}{2(-8)}=\frac{32}{16}=2

To find the maximum profit, substitute this value back into the function. Hence:

\displaystyle P(2) = -8(2)^2+32(2) + 14 = 46

Therefore, the maximum profit of the company is 46 thousand dollars.

Our answer is C.

Match the correct y=mx+b equation to the graph: <br><br> pls show work/explanation!
Basile [38]

Answer:

y=-3x+2

\boxed{m=-3,\ b=2}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of a line</u>

To define the equation of a line, we only need two points through which it passes. The graph shows two clear points to choose: (0,2) and (1,-1)

Set up the equation of the line by using the formula

\displaystyle y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

\displaystyle y-2=\frac{-1-2}{1-0}(x-0)

Operating

y-2=-3x

Rearranging

y=-3x+2

\boxed{m=-3,\ b=2}

What is the median of the given set of data? 1. 1. 5. 4. 3. 7. 2.9. 4, 8​
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Arrange in order

1,1,2,3,4,4,5,7,8,9

Cross off each number from each side little by little

1,2,3,4,4,5,7,8

2,3,4,4,5,7

3,4,4,5

4,4

There are two numbers left so we would find whats between them. But, since it is the same number, you just write the same one as the median.

median= 4

A student wanted to find the sum of all the even numbers from 1 to 100. He said:
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The statements are incorrect as: The sum of even numbers from 1 to 100(i.e. 2550) is not double\twice of the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 100(i.e. 2500).

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that sum of an Arithmetic Progression(A.P.) is given by:

where 'n' denotes the "number" of digits whose sum is to be determined, 'a' denotes the first digit of the series and '' denote last digit of the series.

Now the sum of even numbers i.e. 2+4+6+8+....+100 is given by the use of sum of the arithmetic progression since the series is an A.P. with a common difference of 2.

image with explanation

Hence, sum of even numbers from 1 to 100 is 2550.

Also the series of odd numbers is an A.P. with a common difference of 2.

sum of odd numbers from 1 to 100 is given by: 1+3+5+....+99

.

Hence, the sum of all the odd numbers from 1 to 100 is 2500.

Clearly the sum of even numbers from 1 to 100(i.e. 2550) is not double of the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 100(i.e. 2500).

Hence the statement is incorrect.

This probability distribution shows thetypical grade distribution for a Geometrycourse with 35 students.GradeАBсDFFrequency 5101
Serggg [28]

Probability is expressed as

number of favourable outcomes/total number of possible outcomes

Looking at the given scenario, the number os students that earned a grade of A is 5. Since we are concerned with these students, then, the number of favourable outcomes is 5.

The total number of students for all grades is 35. This means that the total number of possible outcomes is 35

Thus, the probability that a student earns a grade of A is

5/35

= 0.14
