A community bird-watching society makes and sells simple bird feeders to raise money for its conservation activities. The materi

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

N(x) = 40 - 2x

P(x) = -2x² + 52 x - 240

maximum profit = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

feeder cost = $6

average sell = 20 per week

price = $10 each

solution

we consider here price per feeder = x

and profit per feeder id here formula = x - 6

so that here

total profit will be

P (x) = ( x - 6 ) Nx

here N(x) is number of feeders sold at price = x

so formula for N (x) is here

N(x) = 20 - 2 ( x - 10 )

N(x) = 40 - 2x

so that

P(x) = (x-6) ( 40 - 2x)

P(x) = -2x² + 52 x - 240

since here

a = -2

b = 52

c = -240

a < 0

so quadratic function have maximum value of c - $\frac{b^2}{4a}$

so it will be

maximum value = -240 - $\frac{52^2}{4(-2)}$

maximum value = 98

so here maximum profit attained at

x = $\frac{-b}{2a}$

x = $\frac{-52}{2(-2)}$

x = 13

maximum profit = 13

Eric was rock climbing. At one point, he stopped and climbed straight down 2 1/2 METERS

sasho [114]

Answer:

$+4\frac{1}{4}$ meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take climbing down as "negative" and climbing up as "positive". Now, we can simply use the numbers and signs to find the change in elevation.

$2\frac{1}{2}$ meters down means $-2\frac{1}{2}$
$6\frac{3}{4}$ meters up means $+6\frac{3}{4}$

So, now we have: $-2\frac{1}{2}+6\frac{3}{4}\\=-\frac{5}{2}+\frac{27}{4}\\=\frac{-5(2)+27}{4}\\=\frac{-10+27}{4}\\=\frac{17}{4}=4\frac{1}{4}$

Eric's elevation changed $4\frac{1}{4}$ meters above. So after the 2 moves, he is up by $4\frac{1}{4}$ meters.

Martin combined different amounts of orange juice, pineapple juice, and strawberry juice to make 1850 milliliters (ml) of fruit

stealth61 [152]

The answer is 450 ml.

First, we need to solve x (the amount of orange juice):
x + (x + 100) + one half x = 1850
x + x + 100 + 1/2 x = 1850

We can represent 1/2 as 0.5:

2x + 100 + 0.5x = 1850
2.5x = 1850 - 100
2.5x = 1750
x = 1750 ÷ 2.5
x = 700.

Thus, in the fruit punch, there is 700 ml of orange juice.

The amount of pineapple juice combined was 100 ml more than the amount of orange juice. Therefore, there is 800 ml of pineapple juice (700 ml of orange juice + 100 ml more).

The amount of strawberry juice was half the amount of orange juice. Therefore, there is 350 ml of strawberry juice (700 ml of orange juice ÷ 2).

The difference in the amounts of pineapple juice and strawberry juice Martin combined is 450 ml:
the amounts of pineapple juice - the amounts of strawberry juice =
800 ml of pineapple juice - 350 ml of strawberry juice = 450 ml.
