M (x) = - x ^ 2 + 14x
 To find the maximum function, the first thing to do is to obtain the first derivative:
 m '(x) = - 2x + 14
 We match zero:
 0 = -2x + 14
 We clear x:
 x = 14/2 = 7
 x = 7
<span>
 We verify that this value is a maximum through the second derivative:
 m '' (x) = - 2
 m '' (7) = - 2 (<0 therefore it is a maximum)

 Answer:
<span> 7 centimeters of rain will produce the maximum number of mosquitoes.</span></span>

bija089 [108]

Given that, according to sanitation departments report; the samount of garbage produced by 1 resident = 1.643 \times 10^3pound.

Given that population of the city = 2.61 \times 10^5


Now we have to find how much garbage did the city sanitation department collect last year.

To find that we just need to multiply the garbage produced by 1 resident with the population of the city.


Total garbage collected = (2.61 \times 10^5 ) * (1.643 \times 10^3 ) pounds

Total garbage collected = (2.61*1.643) \times 10^{5+3} pounds

Total garbage collected = 4.28823 \times 10^8 pounds

Hence final answer is 4.28823 \times 10^8 pounds.

A paint shop stocks 1800 liters of paint 24% of the paint is white. The shops sells 18% of the white paint and 7% of the rest of
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:The amount of paint that was sold altogether is 173.36 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of paint that the paint shop stocks is 1800 litres.

24% of the paint is white. It means that the amount of white paint would be

24/100 × 1800 = 0.24 × 1800 = 432 litres.

The amount of the remaining paint other than white would be

1800 - 432 = 1368 litres

The shops sells 18% of the white paint. This means that the amount of white paint sold by the shop will be

18/100 × 432 = 0.18 × 432 = 77.6 litres.

The shops sells 7% of the rest of the paint.

This means that the amount of the rest paint sold by the shop will be

7/100 × 1368 = 0.07 × 1368 = 95.76 litres.

The amount of paint that was sold altogether would be

77.6 + 95.76 = 173.36 litres

explain the relationship between multiplying and dividing by 10 100 1000 and moving decimals point to the right or to the left
ch4aika [34]

So basically a decimal is moved based on how many zeros are in the dividing number

Ex. 51,000/100

because there are 2 zeros in the number one hundred, the decimal in 51,000 gets moved 2 places to the left

So it goes from 51,000 to 510

Ex. 16 * 1000

There are three zeros in the number 1000. This means three zeros will be added onto the number 16

So the answer would be 16,000

Hope this helps!

In the diagram of circle o, what is the measure of ABC?<br> 27°<br> 54°<br> 108°<br> 120°
Vlad1618 [11]

<u>Given</u>:

Given that a circle O with two tangents BA and BC.

The major arc AC is 234°

The minor arc AC is 126°

We need to determine the measure of ∠ABC

<u>Measure of ∠ABC:</u>

We know the property that, "if a tangent and a secant, two tangents or two secants intersect in the interior of the circle, then the measure of angle formed is one half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs."

Hence, applying the above property, we have;

\angle ABC=\frac{1}{2}( major \widehat{AC} - minor \widehat{AC})

Substituting the values, we get;

\angle ABC=\frac{1}{2}( 234^{\circ} -126^{\circ})

\angle ABC=\frac{1}{2}( 108^{\circ})

\angle ABC=54^{\circ}

Thus, the measure of ∠ABC is 54°

Hence, Option b is the correct answer.
