Answer:

To determine the nature of roots of quadratic equations (in the form ax^2 + bx +c=0) , we need to calculate the discriminant, which is b^2 - 4 a c. When discriminant is greater than zero, the roots are unequal and real. When discriminant is equal to zero, the roots are equal and real.

ANSWER:

when the value of (b^2-4ac) is positive, then the roots are real and distinct.

when it is 0 the roots are equal and if it is negative than its root is not real.

Keegan is printing and selling his original design on t-shirts. He has concluded that for x shirts, in thousands sold his total

Katarina [22]

Answer:

t-shirts: 2790

profit: $12209

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function:

p(x) = -x³ + 4x² + x

we want to maximize it.

The following criteria must be satisfied at the maximum:

dp/dx = 0

d²p/dx² < 0

dp/dx = -3x² + 8x + 1 = 0

Using quadratic formula:

$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4(a)(c)}}{2(a)}$

$x = \frac{-8 \pm \sqrt{8^2 -4(-3)(1)}}{2(-3)}$

$x = \frac{-8 \pm 8.72}{-6}$

$x_1 = \frac{-8 + 8.72}{-6}$

$x_1 = -0.12$

$x_2 = \frac{-8 - 8.72}{-6}$

$x_2 = 2.79$

d²p/dx² = -6x + 8

d²p/dx² at x = -0.12: -6(-0.12) + 8 = 8.72 > 0

d²p/dx² at x = 2.79: -6(2.79) + 8 = -8.74 < 0

Then, he should prints 2.79 thousands, that is, 2790 t-shirts to make maximum profits.

Replacing into profit equation:

p(x) = -(2.79)³ + 4(2.79)² + 2.79 = 12.209

that is, $12209
