Step-by-step explanation:
Just pick a bunch of values of x, and use the formula to find the corresponding value of y.
For example
When x = 0, y = 0+5 = 5 ----> Plot the point (0,5) on graph paper
When x = 1, y = 1+5 = 6 ----> Plot the point (1,6) on graph paper
When x = 2, y = 2+5 = 7 ----> Plot the point (2,7) on graph paper
Then connect the dots to get a linear graph. You should get a graph that looks like the one attached.
Answer:
Widgets should be sold by $38.88 to maximize the profit.
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertex of a quadratic function:
Suppose we have a quadratic function in the following format:
It's vertex is the point
In which
Where
If a<0, the vertex is a maximum point, that is, the maximum value happens at , and it's value is
.
In this question:
The profit is given by:
Which is a quadratic function with
The maximum profit happens at the x of the vertex. Thus
Widgets should be sold by $38.88 to maximize the profit.
