The profit ,P dollars, earned by students at a high school selling boxes of chocolates is approximated to be P= -60x^2+600x , where x dollars is the selling price of one box of chocolates. What selling price gives the maximum profit?

Selling price of 5 gives the maximum profit

Step-by-step explanation:

What we do here is to find the first derivative, since at maximum points, the profit will be set to zero.

Mathematically, we have;

dp/dx = -120x + 600

We now equate this to zero

0 = -120x + 600

120x = 600

x = 600/120

x = 5

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
