You divide -15 on both sides to keep the x alone
-240/ -15=16
A negative divided by a negative is a positive so x=16
Answer:
f(4) = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in 4 for x in the equation:
f(x) = x² + 3x - 4
f(4) = (4)² + 3(4) - 4
Remember to follow PEMDAS. PEMDAS =
Parenthesis
Exponents (& Roots)
Multiplication

Subtraction
and is the order of operation.
First, solve the power:
(4)² = 4 * 4 = 16
Next, multiply 3 with 4:
3 * 4 = 12
Next, combine the terms:
f(4) = 16 + 12 - 4
f(4) = (16 + 12) - 4
f(4) = 28 - 4
f(4) = 24
f(4) = 24 is your answer.

Let <span>the production level that will yield a maximum profit for the manufacturer be x.
</span>The unit price of the disc is given by p = -0.0006x^2 + 65.
The revenue from selling x discs (R(x)) = px = -0.0006x^3 + 65x
Profit = Revenue - Cost = -0.0006x^3 + 65x - (-0.002x^2 + 13x + 4000) = -0.0006x^3 + 0.002x^2 + 52x - 4000
For maximum profit, dP/dx = 0
-0.0018x^2 + 0.004x + 52 = 0
Using quadratic formular, x = 171
Therefore, <span>the production level that will yield a maximum profit for the manufacturer is 171 discs.</span>
I would 9/4 seeming you have to do devision with this also
