Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can see, this is a quadratic equation and if you were to graph this you would see that it is a parabola that opens down because of the negative leading coefficient (-34). The maximum profit would be at the vertex, of the graph. Therefore, we need to find the value of "y" when "x" is the line of symmetry. We find this by  x=-b/(2a) where a = -34 and b = 1542:

x=-1542/(2)(-34)

x=-152/-68

x=152/68  

We put this value of "x" into the original formula to find out the value of "y":

y=-34x^2+1542x-10037

y=(-34)(1542/68)^2+1542(1542/68)-10037

y= -17483.5588235 + 34967.1176471 -10037

y=7446.5588236

Therefore, the maximum profit would be $7446.56.

Hope this helps!

Find the value of 815×213 Although these numbers aren't quite as nice as the ones from the example, the procedure is the same, s
ANEK [815]

Answer:

The answer is 173,595‬

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, you multiply 815 by the first number of 213 which is 3

So:

815* 3=2445\\

Then 815 by the second number:

815* 1=815\\

Then 815 by the third number:

815* 2=1630\\

Then you add all the numbers, but you have to put a zero to the right of the second product and two zeroes to the third product and so on..

In this case the addition is :

2445+8150+163000 = 173595
