Answer:

6400

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the profit function ;

P(c) = –20c2 + 320c + 5,120

The maximum value is given by :

f(h) ; where, h = - b /2a

From P(C) ; a = - 20 ; b = 320

h = - b / 2a = - 320 / 2(-20) = - 320 / 40 = 8

c = h

P(8) = –20(8)² + 320(8) + 5,120

P(8) = - 1280 + 2560 + 5120

= 6400

Solving Rational Functions Hello I'm posting again because I really need help on this any help is appreciated!!​
Greeley [361]

Answer:

x = √17 and x = -√17

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation:

\frac{3}{x + 4}  - \frac{1}{x + 3}  = \frac{x + 9}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}

To solve this we need to remove the denominators.

Then we can first multiply both sides by (x + 4) to get:

\frac{3*(x + 4)}{x + 4}  - \frac{(x + 4)}{x + 3}  = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}

3  - \frac{(x + 4)}{x + 3}  = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}

Now we can multiply both sides by (x + 3)

3*(x + 3)  - \frac{(x + 4)*(x+3)}{x + 3}  = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)*(x+3)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}

3*(x + 3)  - (x + 4)  = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)*(x+3)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}

(2*x + 5)  = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)*(x+3)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}

Now we can multiply both sides by (x^2 + 7*x + 12)

(2*x + 5)*(x^2 + 7x + 12)  = \frac{(x + 9)*(x + 4)*(x+3)}{(x^2 + 7x + 12)}*(x^2 + 7x + 12)

(2*x + 5)*(x^2 + 7x + 12)  = (x + 9)*(x + 4)*(x+3)

Now we need to solve this:

we will get

2*x^3 + 19*x^2 + 59*x + 60 =  (x^2 + 13*x + 3)*(x + 3)

2*x^3 + 19*x^2 + 59*x + 60 =  x^3 + 16*x^2 + 42*x + 9

Then we get:

2*x^3 + 19*x^2 + 59*x + 60 - (  x^3 + 16*x^2 + 42*x + 9) = 0

x^3 + 3x^2 + 17*x + 51 = 0

So now we only need to solve this.

We can see that the constant is 51.

Then one root will be a factor of 51.

The factors of -51 are:

-3 and -17

Let's try -3

p( -3) = (-3)^3 + 3*(-3)^2 + +17*(-3) + 51 = 0

Then x = -3 is one solution of the equation.

But if we look at the original equation, x = -3 will lead to a zero in one denominator, then this solution can be ignored.

This means that we can take a factor (x + 3) out, so we can rewrite our equation as:

x^3 + 3x^2 + 17*x + 51 = (x + 3)*(x^2 + 17) = 0

The other two solutions are when the other term is equal to zero.

Then the other two solutions are given by:

x = ±√17

And neither of these have problems in the denominators, so we can conclude that the solutions are:

x = √17 and x = -√17

The area of a certain square is 900 square inches. What is the perimeter of this square in inches?
finlep [7]

Answer:

The perimeter of a square with an area of 900 square feet is 120 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation of the perimeter of the square:

Since the area is 900 square feet

We know that

The area of square =

So, length of one side should be 30

Now the perimeter should be

= 4(30)

= 120 ft.

Hence, The perimeter of a square with an area of 900 square feet is 120 ft.

Set up a system of equations and then use your calculator to solve: In triangle ABC, the sum of angles and c is equal to three t
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

angle A = 40

angle B = 60

angle C = we don't know.

A + B + C = 180

C = 180 - A - B

C = 180 - 40 - 60

C = 80

40 + 60 + 80 = 180

180 = 180...It checks!
