Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x(x - 3) + 7(x - 3)

2x^2 - 6x + 7x - 21

reduce

2x^2 + x - 21

if this is equal to 0 then:

2x^2 + x - 21 = 0

factored:

(2x + 7)(x - 3) = 0

How that was done:

Divide the (2x^2) into (2x) and (x).

Divide the (-21) into (+7) and (-3). You choose these numbers so that their sum, when multiplied by (2x) and (-3), adds up to (+x).

Giselle works as a carpenter and as a blacksmith. She earns $20\$20 $20 dollar sign, 20 per hour as a carpenter and $25\$25 $25

malfutka [58]

C = # of carpenter hrs , b = # of blacksmith hrs

c + b = 30...c = 30 - b
20c + 25b = 690

20(30 - b) + 25b = 690
600 - 20b + 25b = 690
-20b + 25b = 690 - 600
5b = 90
b = 90/5
b = 18 <== hrs worked as blacksmith

c + b = 30
c + 18 = 30
c = 30 - 18
c = 12 <== hrs worked as carpenter

Which of the following is not a requirement of a standard form equation Ax+By=C? a)A ≥ 0. b)B ≥ 0. c)A and B are not both 0. d)A

Ghella [55]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The following which is not a requirement of a standard form of equation Ax+By=C is:

b) B ≥ 0

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that the standard equation of a line is given by:

$Ax+By=C$

where A,B and C are integers and A is taken to be a non-negative integer i.e. (A≥0) also the greatest common factor of A,B and C is: 1.

Also A and B can't be both zero.

Hence, the correct option is:

Option: b

A manufacturer has been selling 1400 television sets a week at $450 each. A market survey indicates that for each $21 rebate off

GuDViN [60]

Correct question is;

A manufacturer has been selling 1400 television sets a week at $450 each. A market survey indicates that for each $21 rebate offered to a buyer, the number of sets sold will increase by 210 per week

A) Find the demand function (price p as a function of units sold x).

p(x)=______

(B) How large a rebate should the company offer the buyer in order to maximize its revenue?

$=_____

Answer:

A) p(x) = (-1/10)x + 590

B) Rebate = $170

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We are told that p(x) is the demand function and x is the number of TV sets sold per week.

Now, since for each $21 rebate offered, the number of sets sold increases by 210 per week, it means that the slope here of this demand function is; m = -21/210 = -1/10

Now, he has been selling 1400 TV sets a week at $450 each. This means; p(1400) = $450

Thus, the demand function will be;

p(x) - 450 = (-1/10)(x - 1400)

Expanding the RHS;

p(x) - 450 = (-1/10)x + 140

Add 450 to both sides to get;

p(x) = (-1/10)x + 140 + 450

p(x) = (-1/10)x + 590

B) Formula for revenue is;

R = price × quantity sold

Our demand function is p = (-1/10)x + 590

Making x the subject, we have;

x = 5900 - 10p

x is quantity sold.

Thus,

R = p(5900 - 10p)

R = 5900p - 10p²

Maximum price will occur at dR/dP = 0

Thus;

dR/dP = 5900 - 20p

At dR/dP = 0,we have;

20p = 5900

p = 5900/20

p = $280

Thus, rebate = 450 - 280 = $170
