A small company that manufactures snowboards uses the relation below to model its profit. In the model, represents the number of snowboards in thousands, and P represents the profit in ten thousands of dollars.
What is the maximum profit the company can earn? How many snowboards must it produce to earn this
maximum profit?
a. Factor P =
4x2 + 32x + 336 to find the roots.
b. Find the axis of symmetry then use it to find the vertex.
c. Therefore, we need to see snowboards to make a maximum profit of

a)   x₁ = 14

     x₂ = - 6

b) x = 4

c) P(max ) = 4000000 $

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the axis of symmetry we solve the equation

a) -4x² + 32x + 336 = 0

4x²  - 32x  - 336  = 0       or    x² - 8x - 84 = 0

x₁,₂ = [ -b ± √b² -4ac ]/2a

x₁,₂ = [ 8  ±√(64) + 336 ]/2

x₁,₂ = [ 8  ± √400 ]/2

x₁,₂ =( 8 ± 20 )/2

x₁  = 14

x₂ = -6

a) Axis of symmetry must go through the middle point between the roots

x = 4 is the axis of symmetry

c) P = -4x² + 32x + 336

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get

P´(x) = - 8x + 32  ⇒  P´(x) = 0     - 8x + 32

x = 32/8

x = 4    Company has to sell  4 ( 4000 snowboard)

to get  a profit :

P = - 4*(4)² + 32*(4) + 336

P(max) = -64  + 128 + 336

P(max) = 400           or  400* 10000 =  4000000

i think it is everything has to equal 180 so, if i correct 4=c. 6=d. 8=a. 7=b. and the last question would be c. because they are parallel lines and they are congruent.

step-by-step explanation:

the reason everything has to equal to 180 is because that is how it works. i'm guessing that is its rule. 4 and 8 are congruent and parallel so, that would be 30+30 because they have the same number. it would equal 60. 6 and 7 are congruent and parallel so, that would be 30+30 because they have the same number. it would equal 60. 60+60 is 180. so, now you have your answer

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
