P'(x) = -10x + 600 To maximise equation, let P'(x) = 0 Therefore, 0 = -10x + 600 10x = 600 x = 60 Therefore, 60 items must be sold in order to maximise profits. I hope this has helped! ^.^

How do you determine if a relation represents a function?

If the function is a straight line equation that passes through the graph once, then that's a function, anything on a graph is a relation!


What is it called when an equation describes a function?

I don't think there is a special name for that. Note that not all functions can be described by a single equation - at least, not in a natural way. For example, a function may be described by parts.


What is the difference between a linear function and a quadratic equation?

A linear equation describes a line like 2x+1=y. If you were to graph that equation, then it would give you a line. A quadratic equation is like x^2+2x+1=y. Graphing this equation would give you a U shaped graph called a parabola.


What is the difference between a function and an equation?

A function describes a relation between several variables. For example the function f(x)=x2 describes a mapping from the variable x to a value that is the square of x. That is, for every real number we put as x, we will get a value for f(x). A function is defined for some domain and gets values from some range. An equation takes two terms and says they are equal. Usually both terms are functions of the same variable(s). For example, to build the equation x2 = x+2, we will use f(x) = x2, g(x) = x+2 and say that f(x)=g(x). Solving an equation means finding the set of values of the equation's variables which satisfy the equation. This set of values has to be part of the domains of the functions in both terms of the equation.


Is a linear equation the same as a function?

No a linear equation are not the same as a linear function. The linear function is written as Ax+By=C. The linear equation is f{x}=m+b.

What are the solutions to the Schrdinger wave equation called and how are they determined?

The solutions to the Schrdinger wave equation are called wave functions. They are determined by solving the differential equation that describes the behavior of a quantum system. The wave function represents the probability amplitude of finding a particle at a certain position and time in quantum mechanics.
