Answer:

The maximum amount of profit is 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y=-x^2+64x-292$

Required

Determine the maximum profit

This is calculated by calculating the maximum of the function.

A quadratic function is of the form

$y = ax^2 + bx + c$

and its maximum is:

$Max = \frac{-b}{2a}$

So: $y=-x^2+64x-292$

We have that

$a = -1$

$b = 64$

$c = -292$

$Max = \frac{-b}{2a}$

$Max = \frac{-64}{2 * -1}$

$Max = \frac{-64}{-2}$

$Max = 32$

<em>Hence, the maximum amount of profit is 32</em>

Answer:

732

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula: -b/2a

-64/2(-1)

-64/-2= 32

Then you substitute x for your answer

-(32)^2+64(32)-292

-1024+2048-292= 732

You can also go on demos and type in the equation. The answer will be the Y value on the vertex <em>(top of the parabola)</em>

Directions: Find the complemen

andre [41]

Given:

The angles are:

Example $54^\circ$

1. $63^\circ$

2. $87^\circ$

3. $45^\circ$

4. $72^\circ$

5. $5^\circ$

To find:

The complimentary angle of the given angles.

Solution:

If two angles are complimentary, then their sum is 90 degrees.

Example: Let x be the complimentary angle of $54^\circ$ , then

$x+54^\circ=90^\circ$

$x=90^\circ -54^\circ$

$x=36^\circ$

Similarly,

1. The complimentary angle of $63^\circ$ is:

$90^\circ -63^\circ=27^\circ$

2. The complimentary angle of $87^\circ$ is:

$90^\circ -87^\circ=3^\circ$

3. The complimentary angle of $45^\circ$ is:

$90^\circ -45^\circ=45^\circ$

4. The complimentary angle of $72^\circ$ is:

$90^\circ -72^\circ=18^\circ$

5. The complimentary angle of $5^\circ$ is:

$90^\circ -5^\circ=85^\circ$

Therefore, the complimentary angles of $54^\circ, 63^\circ, 87^\circ, 45^\circ, 72^\circ, 5^\circ$ are $36^\circ, 27^\circ, 3^\circ, 45^\circ, 18^\circ, 85^\circ$ respectively.

(4w-3)^2<br> what would be the answer to that?? please explain, i’m so confused.

yarga [219]

Answer:

16w^2 - 24w + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify this, you would use the special product (a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2. We can correlate this with the given term so that,

a = 4w

and

b = 3

Now we just substitute into a^2 - 2ab + b^2

(4w)^2 - 2(4w)(3) + (3)^2

16w^2 - 24w + 9
