How do you find maximum revenue using quadratic equations?
Suppose the revenue equation is of the form R = ax2 + bx + c where a, b and c are constants and x is the variable. To have a maximum, either a must be negative or x must lie within fixed limits. If a is negative then the maximum revenue is attained when x = -b/(2a). That is, find the value of R when x = -b/(2a). If a is positive, then find the value of R when x is at each end point of its domain. One of them will be larger and that is the maximum value of the revenue.
What is the maximum possible value of x?
If x is the unknown or variable in an equation it can have many possible maximum or minimum values
How do you find out instantaneous velocity and maximum height?
Take the derivative of the function.By plugging a value into the derivative, you can find the instantaneous velocity.By setting the derivative equal to zero and solving, you can find the maximums and/or minimums.Example:Find the instantaneous velocity at x = 3 and find the maximum height.f(x) = -x2 + 4f'(x) = -2xf'(3) = -2*3 = -6So the instantaneous velocity is -6.0 = -2x0 = xSo the maximum height occurs at x = 0f(0) = -02 + 4 = 4So the maximum height is 4.
What is the maximum value of y equals 3sinx plus 2?
The only variable on the right hand side is sin(x). The maximum value of sin(x) is 1. So, the max value of 3sin(x) is 3*1 = 3 and so, the max value of 3sin(x) + 2 is 3+2 = 5.
What is the maximum value of y equals -x2-x plus 6?
