Plant 2 : P2 (x) = -0.02x^2 + 21x - 1700
Find polynomials representing the difference in profits between the companies. Find P1(x) - P2 (x) and P1 (x). Compare the two differences and draw conclusions. Show work and make a equation
P1(x) - P2(x) = -0.01x² + 4x + 200
This shows that P1(x) profit is less than P2(x).
P2(x) - P1x = 0.01x² - 4x - 200
This shows that P2(x) profit is more than P1(x).
Polynomial is an equation written as the sum of terms of the form kx^n.
where k and n are positive integers.
We have,
Plant 1:
P1 (x) = -0.03x² + 25x - 1500
Plant 2:
P2 (x) = -0.02x² + 21x - 1700
P1(x) - P2(x):
= -0.03x² + 25x - 1500 - (-0.02x² + 21x - 1700)
= -0.03x² + 25x - 1500 + 0.02x² - 21x + 1700
= -0.01x² + 4x + 200
For any x value, we will get a negative value.
This means,
P1(x) profit is less than P2(x).
P2(x) - P1x:
= -0.02x² + 21x - 1700 - (-0.03x² + 25x - 1500)
= -0.02x² + 21x - 1700 + 0.03x² - 25x + 1500
= 0.01x² - 4x - 200
For any x value, we will get a positive value.
This means,
P2(x) profit is more than P1(x).
Thus,
P1(x) - P2(x) shows that P1(x) profit is less than P2(x).
P2(x) - P1x shows that P2(x) profit is more than P1(x).

b. 62.1 mph
c. 66.1 mph
d. 69.8 mph
Answer:
d. 69.8 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, the ratio of the diameter of the tyre of a vehicle and its speed must be constant,
Given,
The original diameter of the tyre = 29 inch,
Original speed = 60 mph,
Thus, the ratio of diameter and the speed of the vehicle =
New diameter of the tyre = 33.73 inch,
Let x be the new speed of the vehicle =
Hence, the actual speed of the vehicle would be 69.8 mph.
OPTION D is correct.
Answer:
Ans. Nick paid $619.68 more than Miles (exactly $619.54). So the answer is A)
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, first we need to find the equal monthly payments for both, Miles and Nick, for that, we need to find the effective monthly rate (because the payments are going to be made monthly), also, we need to convert that 4 year period into months. After doing all that, we need to use the following equation and solve for "A".
Where:
A= monthly payments
r= rate of interest (for Miles is 0.075/12=0.006458 and Nick 0.131/12=0.010916)
n= number of periodic payments (both are 4*12=48 months)
First, let´s find out how much money Miles has to pay every month.
So, Miles has to pay $121.48 every month, for 48 months, that is a total of $5,830.98 (121.48*48=5,830.98)
Now, let´s do Nick
So, Nick has to pay $134.39 every month, for 48 months, that is a total of $6,450.52 (134.39*48=6,450.52)
The difference is 6,450.52- 5,830.98=619.54
Means that Nick has to pay $619.54 more than Miles. To your answers, the closest is A) $619.68.
Best of luck
