The value of Jennifer's stock portfolio (in dollars) is given by the function f(t) = -3t +72t + 5000, where t is the time in months since she opened the account. After how many months will her portfolio be at a maximum? What is the maximum value of the portfolio?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

a) The portfolio will be at maximum after 12 months (1 year)

b) The maximum value of the portfolio is $5432

Step-by-step explanation:

The function that models Jennifer's stock portfolio (in dollars) is f(t)=-3t^2+72t+5000, where t is the time in months since she opened the account.

We complete the square to obtain this function in vertex form:

Factor -3 from the first two terms

f(t)=-3(t^2-24t)+5000.

Add the zero pairs -3(+144),-3(-144)

f(t)=-3(t^2-24t+144)+5000+-3(-144).

Factor the perfect square trinomial and simplify.

f(t)=-3(t-12)^2+5432.

The vertex of this function is (h,k)=(12,5432)

a) The portfolio will be at maximum when t=12, the h-value of the vertex

b) The maximum value of the portfolio is the k-value of the vertex which is 5432

Determine the quotient of 1/3/4 divided by 2/5

Answers

Answer:

First turn any mixed numbers into improper fractions. 1 3/4 would be 7/4. Becuase you multiply the whole number by the denominator and then add the numerator.

So now you have 7/4 divided by 2/5. Whenever you divide, you flip the 2nd fraction upside down... known as the reciprocal. And after that you multiply the first number by the upside down 2nd number.

So now you have 7/4 X 5/2. When multiplying, just multiply the numerators across and the denominators across. As your answer, you get 35/8 or 4 3/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

It is 22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

add up all they shaded parts:

22.5 x 4 = 90 degrees

as each unshaded part is three times more then you do 22.5 x 3 for one part

22.5 x 3 = 67.5 degrees

then times by four because there is four unshaded sections.

67.5 x 4 = 270 degrees

270 + 90 = 360 degrees and there is 360 degrees in a circle so 22.5 degrees is the correct answer.

Answers

An angle measuring (870n)° is in standard position.The value of n in which the terminal side falls along the positive portion of the y-axis would be 1. This is because the reference angle would fall on the second quadrant, which still denotes a positive portion of the y-axis.
