Answer:

a. The start-up cost for the teenagers company is $50

b. The number of mugs the teenager must sell to break even are 5 mugs or 25 mugs

c. The number of mugs that will give maximum profit is 15 mugs

d. The profit if she sells 10 mugs is $30

Step-by-step explanation:

The given profit function for selling <em>x</em> number of mugs is presented as follows;

f(x) = -0.4·x² + 12·x - 50

a. The start-up cost in dollars is given by the value of the profit function at the start, where, x = 0, as follows;

Start-up cost = f(0) = -0.4×0² + 12×0 - 50 = -50

The negative sign represents amount put in the business

The start-up cost = (The initial) $50 put into the business.

b. The break even point is the point where, the revenue and costs are equal

At break even point; Revenue = Cost

∴ Profit, at break even point, f(x) = Revenue - Cost = 0

From the profit function, we get;

At the break even point, f(x) = 0 = -0.4·x² + 12·x - 50

Dividing by -0.4 gives;

0/(-0.4) = 0 = (-0.4·x² + 12·x - 50)/(-0.4) = x² - 30 + 125

0 = x² - 30 + 125

∴ (x - 25)·(x - 5) = 0

The number of mugs the teenager must sell before she breaks even, x = 5 mugs or x = 25 mugs.

c. From the general form of a quadratic equation,  which is; y = a··x² + b·x + c, the formula for the x-values at the maximum point is; x = -b/(2·a)

Comparing the profit function to the general form of the quadratic equation we have at the maximum point;

x = -12/(2×(-0.4)) = 15

Therefore, the number of mugs that will give maximum profit, x = 15 mugs.

d. The profit from selling 10 mugs, f(10) is given as follows;

f(10) = -0.4 × 10² + 12 × 10 - 50 = 30

The profit from selling 10 mugs, f(10) = $30

What is the LCM of 12,30 and 42
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

420

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the prime factors of each of the numbers first before finding their LCM.

12: <em>2</em> × 2 × <u>3</u>

30: <em>2</em> × <u>3</u> × 5

42: <em>2</em> × <u>3</u> × 7

To find the LCM, we need to see if they are any common prime factors between all three numbers. The common prime factors are <em>2</em> and <u>3</u>. Then, we multiply 2 and 3 with the remaining outstanding factors, which are 2, 5, and 7.

LCM: <em>2</em> × 2 × <u>3</u> × 5 × 7 = 420

The area of two similar triangles are 50dm^2 and 32dm^2. The sum of their perimeters is 117dm. What us the perimeters of each of
Kay [80]

Answer:

Perimeter of one triangle is 65 dm

Perimeter of other triangle is 52 dm

Step-by-step explanation:

Please remember the concept

If sides are in the ratio of a:b

Then the area in the ratio of a^{2} :b^{2}

It is given sum of their perimeter is 117.

Let the small triangle has perimeter as x.

So, perimeter of big triangle is 117-x.

So, we can set up equation as

\frac{50}{32} =\frac{x^{2} }{(117-x)^{2} }

Cross multiply

50(117-x)^2 =32x^2

Expand the left side

50(13689 -234x+x^{2} )=32x^{2}

Distribute the left side

684450-11700x+50x^{2}=32x^{2}

Subtract both sides 32x^{2} and rewrite it 18x^{2} -11700x+684450=0

Solve this quadratic for x.

Divide both sides of the equation by 18 to simplify.

x^{2}-650 x+38025=0

Now, if possible let's factor

Find two integers whose multiplication is 38025 but adds to -650.

-65 and -585 works.

So, we can rewrite it as

(x -65)(x-585) =0

Solve them using zero product property

x=65, x=585

So, x=65 works here.

So, perimeter of one triangle is 65 dm

Perimeter of other triangle is 117-65= 52 dm
