A company makes a profit of $y (in thousand dollars) when it produces x computers,
where y is given by the formula y = a(x - 100)(x - 200) for x 20 If 120
computers are produced, the profit will be $3,200,000.
a) Find the value of a.

b) What is the maximum profit the company can make? At this profit, how many
computers should be produced?

c) If the company targets to make at least $4,800,000, what is the range of the
number of computers to be produced?


Answers

Answer 1

Using quadratic function concepts, it is found that:

a) The value of a is -2000.

b) The maximum profit the company can make is of $5,000,000, when 150 computers should be produced.

c) Between 140 and 160 computers need to be produced.

The profit is modeled by:

[tex]y = a(x - 100)(x - 200)[/tex]

Item a:

If 120  computers are produced, the profit will be $3,200,000, hence when [tex]x = 120, y = 3200000[/tex], and this is used to find a.

[tex]y = a(x - 100)(x - 200)[/tex]

[tex]3200000 = a(120 - 100)(120 - 200)[/tex]

[tex]-1600a = 3200000[/tex]

[tex]a = -\frac{3200000}{1600}[/tex]

[tex]a = -2000[/tex]

The value of a is -2000.

Item b:

We first place the quadratic function into standard form, thus:

[tex]y = -2000(x - 100)(x - 200)[/tex]

[tex]y = -2000(x^2 - 300x + 20000)[/tex]

[tex]y = -2000x^2 + 600000x - 40000000[/tex]

Which has coefficients [tex]a = -2000, b = 600000, c = -40000000[/tex].

Then, we have to find the vertex:

[tex]x_V = -\frac{b}{2a} = -\frac{600000}{2(-2000)} = 150[/tex]

[tex]\Delta = b^2 - 4ac = (600000)^2 - 4(-2000)(-40000000) = 40000000000 [/tex]

[tex]y_V = -\frac{\Delta}{4a} = -\frac{40000000000 }{4(-2000)} = 5000000[/tex]

The maximum profit the company can make is of $5,000,000, when 150 computers should be produced.

Item c:

We are working with a concave down parabola, hence the range is between the roots of:

[tex]y = -200x^2 + 600000x - 40000000[/tex]

[tex]4800000 = -200x^2 + 600000x - 40000000[/tex]

[tex]-200x^2 + 600000x - 44800000 = 0[/tex]

The coefficients are [tex]a = -200, b = 600000, c = -44800000[/tex].

Then:

[tex]\Delta = b^2 - 4ac = (600000)^2 - 4(-2000)(-44800000) = 1600000000[/tex]

[tex]x_1 = \frac{-b - \sqrt{Delta}}{2a} = \frac{-600000 - \sqrt{1600000000}}{2(-2000)} = 160[/tex]

[tex]x_2 = \frac{-b + \sqrt{Delta}}{2a} = \frac{-600000 + \sqrt{1600000000}}{2(-2000)} = 140[/tex]

Between 140 and 160 computers need to be produced.

Sarah is making scarves. She has 10 1/2 yards of fabric to make the scarves. If each scarf requires 4 yards of fabric, how many scarves can Sarah make? PLEASE HELP ​

Answers

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know 10 1/2 is basically 10.5 or 21/2

To find the max amount of scarves she can make, simply divide the number of yards she has by 4. This will get you the number of scarves she can create.

[tex]\frac{21/2}{4} = \frac{21}{2} * \frac{1}{4} = 21/8 = 2.625[/tex]

Well.. we don't want to make .625 of a scarf since that would be ridiculous, so we will round it down to 2 since we can't make 3 either.

The max amount of scarves she can make is 2.

In the xy-coordinate plane shown, line L passes through point C and has a slope of -2. A dilation of line L with center A and a scale factor of 3 will produce a new through point C’, the image of point C with coordinates

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilation of a line about a point not on the line shifts the line but leaves the slope intact .

New line slope will be -2

As both A and C lie on a horizontal line y = 2, C' will also lie on the same line

The distance between A and C is 0 - 2 = -2

a scale factor of 3 means C' is -2(3) = -6 units left of A

C' = (2 - 6, 2) = (-4. 2)

Answers

Answer:

Not quite in proof format but here's a short explaination. You should be able to fill out the table yourself.

It is given that <T=<Y and <V+<U=180 degrees

<T=<Y are corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are congruent when the two lines (that the third line crosses to make a transversal) are parallel. So, l1 and l2 are parallel.

<V+<U are supplementary angles. They are same side interior angles. Same side interior angles are supplementary when two lines of the transversal are parallel (basically same thing as above, just different type of angle). So, l3 and l4 are parallel.

<R=<U because they are alternate interior angles. Alternate interior angles are congruent when the two lines are parallel (you have proved that l3 and l4 are parallel above).

<P=<C because they are alternate exterior angles. Alternate exterior angles are congruent when the two lines are parellel (you have proved that l1 and l2 are parallel above).

Answers

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

start from the beginning, then if you go 2 steps at a time, then you have 1 step left over at the end, let's assume the length of the stair case is x, so then we will be going up 2/3x steps, and have 1/3 x steps left.

2/3 x = somewhere between 80 and 90, so that means it must be divisible by 3, so 81,84,87,90

3/5 x ==> only 90
