(2 thousands 7 tens) times 10

To achieve a positive profit p(x)>0, we start with:


Next, we solve for x:


The parameters are:
a = -2
b = 7
c = -3

We will apply the quadratic formula:


This yields two results—one a fraction, the other a whole number. We focus on the whole number since the muffins sold must be a complete unit. Thus we conclude:
x>3

The smallest number of trips he must make is 5. Since he can carry only 3 bottles per trip, 5 trips would allow him to transport 15 bottles.
Though it might seem like 4 trips could suffice, as 4 times 3 is 12, that's one bottle short of 13.
Hence, an additional trip is needed to carry the last bottle, totaling 5 trips.

Answer:

y hat = 2114.20 + 18.96x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the least squares regression model equation:

y hat = -959.00 + 8.60x

weld diameter x; shear strength y (in pounds)

1 lb = 0.4536 kg

To convert shear strength y to kilograms:

y is multiplied by 0.4536

(y hat × 0.4536) = -959.00 + 8.60x

Divide both sides by 0.4536

(y hat × 0.4536) / 0.4536= (-959.00 + 8.60x) / 0.4536

y hat = 2114.1975 + 18.959435x

y hat = 2114.20 + 18.96x

To simplify the expression:
-(6 x^3 - 2 x + 3) - 3 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 4 x - 7

Start with - (6 x^3 - 2 x + 3) = -6 x^3 + 2 x - 3:
-6 x^3 + 2 x - 3 - 3 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 4 x - 7

Next, combine similar terms: -3 x^3 - 6 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 4 x + 2 x - 7 - 3 = (-3 x^3 - 6 x^3) + 5 x^2 + (4 x + 2 x) + (-7 - 3):
(-3 x^3 - 6 x^3) + 5 x^2 + (4 x + 2 x) + (-7 - 3)

-3 x^3 - 6 x^3 results in -9 x^3:
-9 x^3 + 5 x^2 + (4 x + 2 x) + (-7 - 3)

Combine 4 x and 2 x to get 6 x:
-9 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 6 x + (-7 - 3)

The operation -7 - 3 yields -10:
-9 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 6 x - 10

Factoring out -1 from -9 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 6 x - 10 leads to:
Final Answer: - (9 x^3 - 5 x^2 - 6 x + 10)

Answer:

The equation 0 = 3x² + 17x - 160 might be useful in determining the length.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the vegetable garden is specified as 170 ft².

Now, regarding the provided equations;

1) For 0 = 3x² + 2x + 180, applying the quadratic formula results in:

x = [-2 ± √(3² - 4(3 × 180)]/(2 × 3)

x = [-2 ± √(-2151)]/6

The square root value is negative, indicating no real solution for x.

Thus, this equation does not help find the length.

2) For the equation 0 = 3x² + 10x + 180, employing the quadratic formula, the square root value is also negative, hence there's no natural root for x. This means this equation can't be used to determine the length.

3) For 0 = 3x² + 17x - 160, the roots when using the quadratic formula yield -10.67 or 5. The value 5 is viable since it is a whole number. Considering the area is also a whole number, this equation can be applied to ascertain the length.

4) For 0 = 3x² - 160, simplifying gives;

3x² = 160

x² = 160/3

x = ±√(160/3)

x = ±7.303

Since the area is a whole number but this length isn't, this equation may not accurately determine the length.
