I believe it's 3.75 x 10^5 (Sorry if I'm wrong)
Answer:
a) 1/2
b) 250
Step-by-step explanation:
The start of the question doesn't matter entirely, although is interesting to read. What we are trying to do is find the value for
such that
is maximized. Once we have that
, we can easily find the answer to part b.
Finding the value that maximizes
is the same as finding the value that maximizes
, just on a smaller scale. So, we really want to maximize
. To do this, we will do a trick called completing the square.
.
Because there is a negative sign in front of the big squared term, combined with the fact that a square is always positive, means we need to find the value of
such that the inner part of the square term is equal to
.
.
So, the answer to part a is
.
We can then plug
into the equation for p to find the answer to part b.
.
So, the answer to part b is
.
And we're done!
The answer is d because quotient means the outcome of a division between two numbers. So therefore it has to be a division equation, which is d.
Use the fact that 1 axe head = 3.20 trade value.
Let N denote number of axe heads needed to trade for a trade gun.
3.20×N=120.00
》 N=120/3.2 which will give number of axe heads needed. Round to the nearest ones place if you must.
