Solve Maximum and Minimum Applications

In the following exercises, find the maximum or minimum value.

$y=2{x}^{2}+x-1$

The minimum value is $-\frac{9}{8}$ when $x=-\frac{1}{4}$ .

$y=-4{x}^{2}+12x-5$

$y={x}^{2}-6x+15$

The minimum value is 6 when $x=3$ .

$y=\text{−}{x}^{2}+4x-5$

$y=-9{x}^{2}+16$

The maximum value is 16 when $x=0$ .

$y=4{x}^{2}-49$

In the following exercises, solve. Round answers to the nearest tenth.

An arrow is shot vertically upward from a platform 45 feet high at a rate of 168 ft/sec. Use the quadratic equation $h=-16{t}^{2}+168t+45$ to find how long it will take the arrow to reach its maximum height, and then find the maximum height.

In 5.3 sec the arrow will reach maximum height of 486 ft.

A stone is thrown vertically upward from a platform that is 20 feet high at a rate of 160 ft/sec. Use the quadratic equation $h=-16{t}^{2}+160t+20$ to find how long it will take the stone to reach its maximum height, and then find the maximum height.

A computer store owner estimates that by charging $x$ dollars each for a certain computer, he can sell $40-x$ computers each week. The quadratic equation $R=\text{−}{x}^{2}+40x$ is used to find the revenue, $R$ , received when the selling price of a computer is $x$ . Find the selling price that will give him the maximum revenue, and then find the amount of the maximum revenue.

20 computers will give the maximum of $400 in receipts. A retailer who sells backpacks estimates that, by selling them for $x$ dollars each, he will be able to sell $100-x$ backpacks a month. The quadratic equation $R=\text{−}{x}^{2}+100x$ is used to find the $R$ received when the selling price of a backpack is $x$ . Find the selling price that will give him the maximum revenue, and then find the amount of the maximum revenue. A rancher is going to fence three sides of a corral next to a river. He needs to maximize the corral area using 240 feet of fencing. The quadratic equation $A=x\left(240-2x\right)$ gives the area of the corral, $A$ , for the length, $x$ , of the corral along the river. Find the length of the corral along the river that will give the maximum area, and then find the maximum area of the corral. The length of the side along the river of the corral is 120 feet and the maximum area is 7,200 sq ft. A veterinarian is enclosing a rectangular outdoor running area against his building for the dogs he cares for. He needs to maximize the area using 100 feet of fencing. The quadratic equation $A=x\left(100-2x\right)$ gives the area, $A$ , of the dog run for the length, $x$ , of the building that will border the dog run. Find the length of the building that should border the dog run to give the maximum area, and then find the maximum area of the dog run. ## Everyday math In the previous set of exercises, you worked with the quadratic equation $R=\text{−}{x}^{2}+40x$ that modeled the revenue received from selling computers at a price of $x$ dollars. You found the selling price that would give the maximum revenue and calculated the maximum revenue. Now you will look at more characteristics of this model. Graph the equation $R=\text{−}{x}^{2}+40x$ . Find the values of the x -intercepts. 1. $\left(0,0\right),\left(40,0\right)$ #### Questions & Answers Bruce drives his car for his job. The equation R=0.575m+42 models the relation between the amount in dollars, R, that he is reimbursed and the number of miles, m, he drives in one day. Find the amount Bruce is reimbursed on a day when he drives 220 miles.

? Is there anything wrong with this passage I found the total sum for 2 jobs, but found why elaborate on extra If I total one week from the store *4 would = the month than the total is = x than x can't calculate 10 month of a year

what would be wong

87 divided by 3 then multiply that by 4. 116 people total.

One number is 11 less than the other number. If their sum is increased by 8, the result is 71. Find the numbers.
26 + 37 = 63 + 8 = 71
gayla
26+37=63+8=71
11+52=63+8=71
Thisha
how do we know the answer is correct?
Thisha
23 is 11 less than 37. 23+37=63. 63+8=71. that is what the question asked for.
gayla
23 +11 = 37. 23+37=63 63+8=71
Gayla
by following the question. one number is 11 less than the other number 26+11=37 so 26+37=63+8=71
Gayla
your answer did not fit the guidelines of the question 11 is 41 less than 52.
gayla
71-8-11 =52 is this correct?
Ruel
let the number is 'x' and the other number is "x-11". if their sum is increased means: x+(x-11)+8 result will be 71. so x+(x-11)+8=71 2x-11+8=71 2x-3=71 2x=71+3 2x=74 1/2(2x=74)1/2 x=37 final answer

Joy is preparing 20 liters of a 25% saline solution. She has only a 40% solution and a 10% solution in her lab. How many liters of the 40% solution and how many liters of the 10% solution should she mix to make the 25% solution?
15 and 5
32 is 40% , & 8 is 10 % , & any 4 letters is 5%.
Karen
It felt that something is missing on the question like: 40% of what solution? 10% of what solution?
Jhea
its confusing
Sparcast
3% & 2% to complete the 25%
Sparcast
because she already has 20 liters.
Sparcast
ok I was a little confused I agree 15% & 5%
