You have the equation. You are asked to find y at x=5. What do you get?I thought the straight line is not part of the solution. But no matter how I played with the numbers I can't get the right answer 3300
R(x)=ax(6-x). Plug in x=5. What's the result?I got 5. Still can't get to 3300...
5=5(6-5) and answer is 1?R(x)=ax(6-x). Plug in x=5. What's the result?
Use whole numbers.You ignored the "a". You need to find "a" first.
Can you name a point (other than (6, 0)) that lies on the parabola? Read it off the graph.
Is it (3,6) and a=2?Use whole numbers.
Please post your solution (how you found that a=2).Is it (3,6) and a=2?
a is angle isn't it? So formula for angle is a=y/x so 6/3=2Please post your solution (how you found that a=2).
No, it's not an angle. Nowhere in the problem an angle is mentioned. a is an unknown constant that you need to find in order to calculate y at x=5.a is angle isn't it? So formula for angle is a=y/x so 6/3=2
I have no clue how to find a and I can't read it off the graphNo, it's not an angle. Nowhere in the problem an angle is mentioned. a is an unknown constant that you need to find in order to calculate y at x=5.
R(x)=ax(6-x)I have no clue how to find a and I can't read it off the graph
I got a=2/3. I still can't get to the answer I feel hopelessSub in x=3 and y=6 into y=ax(6-x) and solve for a.
Good on you for not giving up!!I managed to get the answer!!!
Sub a=2/3 and x=5 into y=ax(6-x). y=3.3 which is $3300.
Can't believe I was struggling with such an easy question...
Thank you for your help everyone
All humans struggle, until they've gained sufficient experience to encode and recognize patterns -- thus remembering what to do.Can't believe I was struggling with such an easy question
