Answer:

  • A. $66.33
  • B. $4300

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given function:</u>

  • p(d)= -5d² + 300d - 200
<h3>Part A</h3>

<u>p(d) = 2300, find d:</u>

  • 2300 = -5d² + 300d - 200
  • 5d² - 300d + 200 - 2300 = 0
  • 5d² - 300d - 2100 = 0
  • d² - 60d - 420 = 0
  • d²- 2*30d + 900 = 1320
  • (d - 30)² = 1320
  • d- 30 = √1320
  • d = 30 + 36.33
  • d = 66.33
<h3>Part B</h3>

<u>Maximum point of the function is obtained at vertex, which is (x = -b/2a):</u>

  • d = - 300/-10 = 30

<u>The maximum profit is:</u>

  • p(30) = -5(30)² + 300(30) - 200 = 4300

Mrrafil [7]
X will be used for the value of money she earned that week.

H represents the normal hours she worked.

D represents the number of days.

Y will represent the hours on the holiday.

Since she would be getting time and a half on the holiday, you would need to find how much time and a half pay would be first.

Time and a half = 5.50(1/2) + 5.50 = $8.25/hr for the day or holiday only.

X = 5.50(H)(D) + 8.25(Y)

Plug in your numbers

X = 5.50(7)(5) + 8.25(4)

X = 192.5 + 33

She made $225.5 that week.
