this is a quadratic function, so to maximize it we should find the x-value of its vertex. recall that the x-value of the vertex of the parabola ax^2+bx+c is given by the formula −b/2a.
so in this case, we have a=−10 and b=4080, so the x-value of the vertex is
In the field of thermodynamics, rankine is the unit used to measure temperature. one can convert temperature from celsius into rankine using the formula c= r/1.8 - 273, what is the temperature in celcius corresponding to r degrees rankine.
