A company makes a profit of $y (in thousand dollars) when it produces x computers, where y is given by the formula y = a(x - 100)(x - 200) for x 20 If 120
computers are produced, the profit will be $3,200,000.
a) Find the value of a.

b) What is the maximum profit the company can make? At this profit, how many
computers should be produced?

c) If the company targets to make at least $4,800,000, what is the range of the
number of computers to be produced?

find out the value of b

step-by-step explanation:

x = central angle apc = measure of minor arc ac

the two angles x and 30 add to 180, so x+30 = 180 and x = 180-30 = 150. the measure of minor arc ac is 150 degrees.

what we need to do from here is find the circumference and then multiply it by x/360 since there are 360 degrees in a circle. in this case, x = 150, so x/360 = 150/360 = 15/36 = 5/12. the shortest distance along the curve from a to c is 5/12 of the distance around the entire circle (aka circumference)

c = circumference

c = pi*d

c = pi*24

c = 24pi

now multiply this by 5/12 to get

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(circumference)

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(24pi)

distance along minor arc ac = 10pi

the formula you can use is

l = (x/360)*pi*d

with

l = length of minor arc

x = central angle

d = diameter

which essentially is the steps we took though a bit differently.
