Based on an architectural drawing, a roof slopes to a drain along the function represented in the table that defines the
edge of slope, where x is the horizontal distance in feet and
f(x) is the vertical distance in feet.
If the drain is at the minimum point, how far is it from the wall
defined by the y-axis?
0 feet
8 feet
80 feet
160 feet

  80 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The smallest value of f(x) in the table is f(x) = 0. It occurs where x = 80.

Since x is the horizontal distance in feet from the wall, the minimum point (drain) is 80 feet from the wall.

step-by-step explanation:

answer: 204

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that the revenue is

x⋅(4080−10x)=−10x^2+4080x

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

−b/2a= −(4080)/2(−10)=204
