A company makes a profit of $y (in thousand dollars) when it produces x computers, where y is given by the formula = ( − 100)( − 200) for ≥ 0 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?
(7 marks) 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

lol no

just give up in life

Answer 2

The function is used to model real life situation

The value of a is -2000 150 computers must be produced to maximize the profit of $5,000,000 A range of 140 to 160 computers would give the company at least $4,800,000  

 

(a) The value of a

The function is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{y = a(x - 100)(x - 200) }[/tex]

The profit on 120 computers is 3200000.

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{3200000 = a(120 - 100)(120 - 200) }[/tex]

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

Divide both side by -1600

[tex]\mathbf{a = -2000}[/tex]

Hence, the value of (a) is -2000

(b) The maximum profit

The function becomes

[tex]\mathbf{y = -2000(x - 100)(x - 200)}[/tex]

Expand

[tex]\mathbf{y = -2000(x\² - 200x - 100x + 20000)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y = -2000(x\² - 300x + 20000)}[/tex]

Expand

[tex]\mathbf{y = -2000x\² + 600000x - 40000000}[/tex]

Differentiate

[tex]\mathbf{y' = -4000x + 600000}[/tex]

Set to 0

[tex]\mathbf{-4000x + 600000 = 0}[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]\mathbf{4000x = 600000}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4000

[tex]\mathbf{x = 150}[/tex]

Substitute 150 for x in [tex]\mathbf{y = -2000(x - 100)(x - 200)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y = -2000(150 - 100)(150 - 200)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y = 5000000}[/tex]

150 computers must be produced to maximize the profit of $5,000,000  

c) Range when the target is at least $4,800,000

This means that:

[tex]\mathbf{y \ge 4800000}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{-2000x\² + 600000x - 40000000 \ge 4800000}[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]\mathbf{-2000x\² + 600000x - 40000000 - 4800000 \ge 0}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{-2000x\² + 600000x - 44800000 \ge 0}[/tex]

Divide through by -2000

[tex]\mathbf{x\² - 300x +22400 \le 0}[/tex]

Factorize

[tex]\mathbf{(x - 140)(x - 160) \le 0}[/tex]

Express as inequality

[tex]\mathbf{140 \le x \le 160}[/tex]

A range of 140 to 160 computers would give the company at least $4,800,000

HELP I HAVE A TEST TMR MORNING!!!!!!
A boat tied up at a dock bobs up and down with passing waves. The vertical distance between its high point and its low point is 1.8m and the cycle is repeated every 4 s.
Here is the equation that models this: [tex]f(x)=0.9sin(\frac{\pi }{2} x)[/tex]
^The y-coordinates are in m and the x coordinates is the time in seconds

b) Use the model to determine when, during each cycle, the boat is 0.5m above the mean positition.

BRAINLIEST!!!!

Answers

The time the boat is 0.5 m above the mean position during each cycle is (4n + 0.375) s

Since y = f(x) = 0.9sin(πx/2)

We want to determine the time, x at which the boat is 0.5 m above its mean position. This is the value of y at y = 0.5 m

So, y = f(x) = 0.9sin(πx/2)

0.5 = 0.9sin(πx/2)

Dividing through by 0.9, we have

0.5/0.9 = sin(πx/2)

5/9 = sin(πx/2)

Taking inverse sine of both sides, we have

sin⁻¹(5/9) = πx/2

sin⁻¹(0.5556) = πx/2

0.589 rad = πx/2

x = 2 × 0.589/π

x = 1.178/π

x  = 0.375 s

Since the boat repeats its cycle every 4 seconds, the time the boat is 0.5 m above the mean position after n cycles is t = (4n + 0.375) swhere n is a positive integer. That is n = 0, 1, 2, 3...

So, the time the boat is 0.5 m above the mean position during each cycle is (4n + 0.375) s

Answers

Answer:

1) D: All of the above.

2) A: No solution

3) B: One solution

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The systems of linear equations can be solved through the following methods:

Graphing method: Using the slope and y-intercepts of each equation to plot points and graph the lines to see whether the given system has a point of intersection as a solution.

Elimination method: this involves either adding (when the coefficients have opposite signs) or subtracting (when the coefficients have the same sign).  

Substitution method: involves solving for one of the variables of either equations, and substituting the values of that expression into the other linear equation in the system.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option D: All of the above.

2. Graph of Parallel Lines:

Given the graph of parallel lines, which means that they will never have a point of intersection. Therefore, the given systems of linear equations have no solution. Therefore, the correct answer is Option A: No solution.

3. Graph of Two Intersecting lines

Given the graph of two non-perpendicular intersecting lines, it means that they have one point of intersection that represents the solution to the given system.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: One solution.

Mr. Doyle mowed 2\5ths of his lawn. His son mowed 1\3rd of it. Who mowed most of the lawn? How much of the lawn still needs to be mowed?How much does Mr. Doyle have left to mow?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Dad:  2/5

Son:  1/3

Who mowed most of the lawn? Dad, of course.  2/5 is larger than 1/3.  2/5 is 40% and 1/3 is 33.333%

How much of the lawn still needs to be mowed?  

 2/5 + 1/3 + X = 1  [1 means the whole lawn.  X is the remaining portion.]

6/15 + 5/15 + X = 1   [Convert each fraction so that they have a com,mon denominator.  This also shows that 2/5 (6/15) is larger than 1/3 (5/15).

11/15 + X = 1

X = 1 - 11/15

X = 4/15 left to be mowed.

How much does Mr. Doyle have left to mow?

We'll assume each rate is the same, 2/5 for Dad and 1/3 for son.

4/15 left to be mowed.

Dad will mow 2/5 of 4/15, so (2/5)*(4/15) = 8/75 left of the original yard

Son will mow 1/3 of 4/15, so (1/3)*(4/15) = 4/45 left of the original yard

Mr. Doyle mowed faster than his son. The amount of lawn still needs to be mowed will be 4/15. Mr. Doyle has left to mow and will be 8/75.

What is Algebra?

Algebra is the study of abstract symbols, while logic is the manipulation of all those ideas.

The acronym PEMDAS stands for Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. This approach is used to answer the problem correctly and completely.

Mr. Doyle mowed 2/5 of his lawn. His son mowed 1/3 of it.

Convert the fraction into a decimal number. Then we have

2/5 = 0.40

1/3 = 0.33

Mr. Doyle mowed faster than his son.

The amount of the lawn still needs to be mowed will be given as,

⇒ 1 - 2/5 - 1/3

⇒ (15 - 6 - 5) / 15

⇒ 4 / 15

The amount of lawn still needs to be mowed will be 4/15.

Mr. Doyle has left to mow and will be given as,

⇒ (4 / 15) x (2 / 5)

⇒ 8 / 75

Mr. Doyle has left to mow and will be 8/75.

Sprinters who run 100 yards now often run 100 meters.


How many meters longer to the nearest tenth is 100 meters than 100 yards?


Enter the correct answer in the box.

Answers

Answer:

100 meters is 8.6 meters longer than 100 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion of yards to meters.

Each yard has 0.914 meters.

So 100 yards is 100*0.9144 = 91.4 meters.

How many meters longer to the nearest tenth is 100 meters than 100 yards?

100 yards = 91.4 meters

100 - 91.4 = 8.6

So 100 meters is 8.6 meters longer than 100 yards.

|−5x − 8 | > 0   ∴ |−5x − 8 | = -5x-8

|1 + 2x| + |5 − 3x| − |−5x − 8 |

= -(1+2x) + (5-3x) - (-5x-8)
