Module 3: Last Question! (MAX Profit?)

[magnum]

What was the maximum profit for the last question in graphs and relations?
Could we use 4.5 and 5.5? Or could we only use whole numbers? Im confused 

[VxBlitzxN]

I assumed only whole numbers, as number of flights would be discrete not continuous.
Therefore instead of (4.5,5.5), i used (5,5) which also fit the constraints and provided a max profit of 17,000.

Anyone to confirm this?

[taylor tay bags]

I said 4.5 and 5.5 as a max profit of 17,400, and then realised this wasn't plausible to have .5 trips.. so i said 'But these values are unrealistic as it is not possible to have .5 trips therefore the maximum 'whole' trips are 5 and 5 this causes a max profit of 17,000'

I pretty much gave 2 answers but made out as though my first answer was just working out lol..

Was i wrong to use the point  (2,7) to get the maximum profit??

nah im prtty sure that was right, i usd it aswell

[jedda]

yeah i used (2,7) as well. i think it gets a profit of 17300 if my memory is correct

[lachymm]

Wow, how did i not pick up on this? silly me

+1 to that, i did the same lol

[Ilovemathsmeth]

Ahh that's so sneaky!! I got (5, 5).

[lacoste]

hopefully VCAA thinks its 5,5 also lmao

[Ilovemathsmeth]

because i used the integer thingy, where you use the most near 8 solutions at the max point.

[dior1]

i don't get how 2,7 was used, but is used (4.5, 5.5).
this is a plead to VCAA...i need those two marks!! hah

[Ilovemathsmeth]

SCREW YOU, VCAA. That's 1 mark gone. Already. Heavens knows how many more to come.

Was that max. profit question worth 1 mark?
