Answer:
This is equation of ellipse
Step-by-step explanation:
we are given

We can see that right side is 36
so, we can make right side as 1 by dividing both sides by 36



we can simplify it

we can rewrite it as

now, we can compare it with standard equation of ellipse

we can see that both equations are similar
so, this is equation of ellipse
3x+2=5x-2
2x=4
x=2 i think is the answer im not sure if i got it right im sorry if i did get it wrong
We are given with the formula
p = 200k - 500
a) The constraint for this formula is obtained from the idea that the profit must be positive
200k - 500 > 0
k > 500/200
k > 2.5
b) To make 14000 profit
14000 = 200k - 500
k = 72.5 or 73 knives must be sold
