Answer:

846.06 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of profit, y, made by the  company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the given  equation as follows :

y = -4x^2 + 183x- 1247 ...(1)

We need to find out the maximum amount of profit  the company can make.

For maximum profit put dy/dx = 0

So,

\dfrac{d}{dx}(-4x^2 + 183x- 1247)=0\\\\-8x+183=0\\\\x=\dfrac{183}{8}\\\\x=22.87

Put x = 22.87 in equation (1). So,

y = -4(22.87)^2 + 183(22.87)- 1247\\\\=846.06

So, the maximum profit is 846.06 units.

Find the arc length, x, when<br> ,<br> r= 1 and 8 = 2.5 radians.<br> Х<br> 2.5<br> 1<br> x = [?]
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

x = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The arc length x is calculated as

x = circumference of circle × fraction of circle

  = 2πr × \frac{2.5}{2\pi } ( cancel 2π on numerator/ denominator )

x = 1 × 2.5 = 2.5

1.32:3 1/7 =(1.4y): 5/6
alina1380 [7]

After solving 1.32:3 \frac{1}{7}=(1.4y):\frac{5}{6}  we get y=0.24

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the ratio: 1.32:3 \frac{1}{7}=(1.4y):\frac{5}{6} and find value of y

Solving:

1.32:3 \frac{1}{7}=(1.4y):\frac{5}{6}

Converting fractions into decimals

1.32:3.14=(1.4y):0.83

Ratio can be written as:

\frac{1.32}{3.14}=\frac{1.4y}{0.83}

Now cross multiply

1.32*0.83=1.4y*3.14

1.09=4.39y

y=\frac{1.09}{4.39}

y=0.24

So, after solving 1.32:3 \frac{1}{7}=(1.4y):\frac{5}{6}  we get y=0.24

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

y = 3x -8

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it convenient to start with a version of the point-slope form of the equation for a line. That is, for point (h, k) and slope m, ...

y = m(x -h) +k

For your m=3 and (h, k) = (3, 1), this equation becomes ...

y = 3(x -3) +1

Eliminating parentheses puts this in the form you desire:

y = 3x -8
