A company sells widgets. The amount of profit, y, made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the given equation. Using this equation, find out
the maximum amount of profit the company can make, to the nearest dollar.
y = -8x2 + 242x – 1056

774 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the amount of profit, y, made by the company, is related to

the selling price of each widget, x, by the given equation

y = -8x^2 + 242x – 1056

The company made her maximum profit when dy/dx = 0

dy/dx = -16x + 242

0 = -16x + 242

16x = 242

x = 242/16

x = 15.125

Get the maximum amount of the profit

Substituting x = 15.125 into the function we have:

y = -8(15.125)^2 + 242(15.125) – 1056

y = -8(228.77)+3,660.25-1056

y = -1,830.09+3,660.25-1056

y = 773.91

Hence the maximum amount of profit the company can make, to the nearest dollar is 774 dollars

step-by-step explanation:   divide the numerator by the denominator to get the decimal

it would still be 193

if divide by 100 then 1.93
