9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $880

Step-by-step explanation:

If r is the rent charged, then the number of $40 increments of increase will be ...

  (r -800)/40

and the number of occupied apartments will be ...

  120 -5(r -800)/40

The gross income (g) will be the number of apartments times the rent charged, or ...

  g = r×(120 -5(r -800)/40) = (1/8)r(1760 -r)

The equation describes a parabola with zeros at r=0 and r=1760. The vertex will be on the line of symmetry, halfway between those zeros. The maximum gross income will be had when the rent is 1760/2 = 880.

$880 should be charged for rent to maximize gross income.

Can dilations be used to form scale copies of a figure?
Inessa [10]

Answer:

sometimes

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways that dilation is used in real life. Here are several:

In graphic design. I actually do some graphic design, and I use dilation a lot. It is common to dilate photos to fit the space that you want it to fit.

In police work and crime investigation. Detectives and police dilate photos to see smaller details and evidence.

In architecture. It is normal for architects to make a prototype of their design or building. In order to make the building true to the prototype, they must dilate the scale and measurements.

In the doctor's office. Dilation is used in eye exams so that the eye doctor can view the patient's eye better. After a while it will slowly reduce in size and return back to normal.
