The shorter piece is 37 inches long, use the equation 5x+x=222, solve the shorter piece is 37 inches and the longer piece is 185 inches.

if P(x)=1+6x-5x^2 represents the profit in selling x thousand Boombotix speakers, how many speakers should be sold to maximize p

Rashid [163]

Answer:

600

Step-by-step explanation:

$p(x) = 1 + 6x - 5x^2$

x max = $-b/2a$

a = -5

b = 6

-6/2(-5) = 6/10 = 3/5 = .6

.6 thousand = 600

600 speakers should be sold.

Alternatively, you can check the vertex of the parabola formed.
