If using the method of completing the square to solve the quadratic equation

Mathematics

Answer:

x² + 7x + 10 = 0

Subtract 10 from both sides

x² + 7x = -10

Use half the x coefficent (7/2) as the complete the square term

(x + 7/2)² = -10 + (7/2)²

   note: the number added to "complete the square" is (7/2)² = 49/4

(x + 7/2)² = -10 + 49/4

(x + 7/2)² = 9/4

Take the square root of both sides

x + 7/2 = ±3/2

Subtract 7/2 from both sides

x = -7/2 ± 3/2

x = {-5, -2}

How do you calculate gross pay net pay and employee benefits
Sonja [21]

Gross pay is the amount of money your employees receive before any taxes and deductions are taken out. For example, when you tell an employee, “I'll pay you $50,000 a year,” it means you will pay them $50,000 in gross wages.

Hope this helps!!

Max makes and sells posters. The function p(x)= -10x^2 +200x -250, graphed below, indicates how much profit he makes in a month
viktelen [127]
Here is our profit as a function of # of posters
p(x) =-10x² + 200x - 250
Here is our price per poster, as a function of the # of posters:
pr(x) = 20 - x
Since we want to find the optimum price and # of posters, let's plug our price function into our profit function, to find the optimum x, and then use that to find the optimum price:
p(x) = -10 (20-x)² + 200 (20 - x) - 250
p(x) = -10 (400 -40x + x²) + 4000 - 200x - 250
Take a look at our profit function. It is a normal trinomial square, with a negative sign on the squared term. This means the curve is a downward facing parabola, so our profit maximum will be the top of the curve.
By taking the derivative, we can find where p'(x) = 0 (where the slope of p(x) equals 0), to see where the top of profit function is.
p(x) = -4000 +400x -10x² + 4000 -200x -250
p'(x) = 400 - 20x -200
0 = 200 - 20x
20x = 200
x = 10                         
p'(x) = 0 at x=10. This is the peak of our profit function. To find the price per poster, plug x=10 into our price function:
price = 20 - x
price = 10
Now plug x=10 into our original profit function in order to find our maximum profit:
<span>p(x)= -10x^2 +200x -250
p(x) = -10 (10)</span>² +200 (10) - 250
<span>p(x) = -1000 + 2000 - 250
p(x) = 750

Correct answer is C)
