Answer:
The correct answer is $12
Step-by-step explanation:
To check, subtract 12 from 31
31 - 12 =19
Multiply 19 by 2
19 x 2 =38
Add 12
38 + 12 =50
Whenever you face the problem that deals with maxima or minima you should keep in mind that minima/maxima of a function is always a point where it's derivative is equal to zero.
To solve your problem we first need to find an equation of net benefits. Net benefits are expressed as a difference between total benefits and total cost. We can denote this function with B(y).
B(y)=b-c
B(y)=100y-18y²
Now that we have a net benefits function we need find it's derivate with respect to y.

Now we must find at which point this function is equal to zero.
0=100-36y
36y=100
y=2.8
Now that we know at which point our function reaches maxima we just plug that number back into our equation for net benefits and we get our answer.
B(2.8)=100(2.8)-18(2.8)²=138.88≈139.
One thing that always helps is to have your function graphed. It will give you a good insight into how your function behaves and allow you to identify minima/maxima points.
The answer t our question is the first one
I just substituted he number one in every x
The original equation is equal to 147 when x equals to 1
And the first option is also equal to 147 when x equals to one
Answer:
(x+7) times (x+3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Because a area of a rectangle is lw and you combine x and 3 to make x+3 and 7 and x to make x+7 and you multiply them together.
It’s 2.042
Have a great day! :D
