Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to complete the square.

C(x) = 0.02(x^2 - 1000x  ...)  + 11000

C(x) = 0.02 (x^2 - 1000x + 500^2) + 11000 - 5000

C(x) = 0.02 (x^2 - 1000x + 500^2) + 6000

C(x) = 0.02(x - 500)^2 + 6000

Now if you look at the answer you will find that the square is completed. That means that number of tractors you could produce is 500 at a cost of 6000

There is a flow to this question that you may have trouble understanding.

First of all the 500^2. That comes from taking 1/2 of 1000 and squaring it. That's what you need to complete the square.

Bur that is not what you have adding into the equation. Remember that there is a 0.02 in front of the brackets.

500^2 = 250000

0.02 * 250000 = 5000

So that number must be subtracted to make the square = 0. When you remove the brackets, you should get 11000 all in all.

So what you have outside the brackets is 11000 - 5000 = 6000

The rest is just standard for completing the square.

The figure shows a construction completed by hand.
Tresset [83]

Based on the construction, we can logically deduce that: A. yes; the compass was kept at the same width to create the arcs for points C and D.

<h3>What is a line segment?</h3>

A line segment can be defined as the part of a line in a geometric figure such as a triangle, circle, quadrilateral, etc., that is bounded by two (2) distinct points and it typically has a fixed length.

In Geometry, a line segment can be measured by using the following measuring instruments:

  • A scale (ruler)
  • A divider
  • A compass

<h3>What is an arc?</h3>

In Geometry, an arc can be defined as a trajectory that is generally formed when the distance from a given point has a fixed numerical value.

Based on the construction with arcs created above and below the line segment from points A, we can infer and logically deduce that it is true that the compass was kept at the same width to create the arcs for points C and D.

In conclusion, yes, the construction demonstrated how to bisect a line segment correctly by hand.

#SPJ1

Complete Question:

The construction has a given segment AB. Arcs have been created above and below the segment from points A that are equidistant from point A. The compass was kept at the same distance, placed on point B, and two additional arcs were created above and below the segment that intersect with the first arcs created. The intersection of the arcs above the segment created point C. The intersection of the arcs below the segment created point D. A line was drawn from point C to D through the segment.

Does the construction demonstrate how to bisect a segment correctly by hand?

A. Yes; the compass was kept at the same width to create the arcs for points C and D.

B. Yes; a straightedge was used to create segment CD.

C. No; the compass was not kept at the same width to create the arcs for points C and D.

D. No; a straightedge was used to create segment CD.

Answer:

The factors of 2q²-5pq-2q+5p are (2q-5p) (q-1)....

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

2q²-5pq-2q+5p

Make a pair of first two terms and last two terms:

(2q²-5pq) - (2q-5p)

Now factor out the common factor from each group.

Note that there is no common factor in second group. So we will take 1 as a common factor.

q(2q-5p) -1(2q-5p)

Now factor the polynomial by factoring out the G.C.F, 2q-5p

(2q-5p) (q-1)

Thus the factors of 2q²-5pq-2q+5p are (2q-5p) (q-1)....

What is the factorization of the polynomial below<br>-x^2 - 15x - 56​
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is more easily understood if you take out a common factor of -1

-1(x^2 + 15x + 56)

7*8 = 56

7 + 8 = 56

-1 (x +8)(x+7)

6. Evaluate the expression for the value of the variable. 1/3x + 5 x = -6
taurus [48]

Answer:

\frac{1}{3} x + 5x =  - 6 \\  \frac{16}{3} x =  - 6 \\ x = \frac{ - 6}{ \frac{16}{3} }  \\ x =  \frac{ - 9}{8}
