Answer:
8 thousand dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
The company's annual profit (in thousands of dollars) as a function of the price of a bracelet (in dollars) is modeled by: P(x)=-2x^2+16x-24
To find maximum profit , we need to find out the vertex
x coordinate of vertex formula is -b/2a
a=-2 and b = 16
Now we plug in 4 for x and find out P(4)
= 8
So the maximum profit the company can earn is 8 thousand dollars when price = $4
Total possible outcomes = 4
Total no. of favorable outcomes = 2
<u>Answer: </u>
Sum of the roots of the polynomial
<u>Solution:</u>
The general form of cubic polynomial is ---- (1)
If we have any cubic polynomial having roots
Sum of roots =
---(2)
From question given that,
--- (3)
On comparing equation (1) and (3), we get a = 1, b = 2, c = -11 and d = -12
Hence the sum of roots using eqn 2 is given as,
=
= -2
Hence the sum of the roots of the polynomial
