For a certain company, the cost function for producing x items is C(x)=30x+150 and the revenue function for selling x items is R(x)=−0.5(x−90)2+4,050. The maximum capacity of the company is 130 items.
The profit function P(x) is the revenue function R(x) (how much it takes in) minus the cost function C(x) (how much it spends). In economic models, one typically assumes that a company wants to maximize its profit, or at least make a profit!



Answers to some of the questions are given below so that you can check your work.

Hint: Profit = Revenue - Cost as we examined in Discussion 3.

What is the domain of P(x)?
Hint: Does calculating P(x) make sense when x=−10 or x=1,000?

The company can choose to produce either 60 or 70 items. What is their profit for each case, and which level of production should they choose?
Profit when producing 60 items =
Number


Profit when producing 70 items =
Number


Can you explain, from our model, why the company makes less profit when producing 10 more units?

Answers

Answer 1

Profit, revenue and cost are related, and can be calculated from one another.

The profit function is [tex]\mathbf{P(x) =-0.5(x -90)^2 - 30x + 3900}[/tex]The domain of the profit function is x > 0The profit when producing 60 items is 1650The profit when producing 70 items is 1600

The cost function is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{C(x) =30x + 150}[/tex]

The revenue function is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{R(x) =-0.5(x -90)^2 + 4050}[/tex]

(a) Calculate the profit function

This is calculated using:

[tex]\mathbf{P(x) = R(x) - C(x)}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{P(x) =-0.5(x -90)^2 + 4050 - 30x - 150}[/tex]

Evaluate like terms

[tex]\mathbf{P(x) =-0.5(x -90)^2 - 30x + 3900}[/tex]

(b) The domain of the profit function

When profit is 0 or less, then it becomes no profit.

Hence, the domain of the profit function is x > 0

(c) The profit for 60 and 70 items

Substitute 60 and 70 for x in P(x)

[tex]\mathbf{P(60) =-0.5(60 -90)^2 - 30 \times 60 + 3900}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{P(60) =1650}[/tex]

The profit when producing 60 items is 1650

[tex]\mathbf{P(70) =-0.5(70 -90)^2 - 30 \times 70 + 3900}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{P(70) = 1500}[/tex]

The profit when producing 70 items is 1600

(d) Why producing 10 more units less profit

When a function reaches the optimal value, the value of the function begins to reduce.

This means that, producing 10 more units takes the profit function beyond its maximum point.

Which of the following is an equivalent form of the compound inequality

Answers

Answer:

pls mark brainy

Step-by-step explanation:

option (d) is correct.

An equivalent form of the  given compound inequality −44 > −2x − 8 ≥ −8 is  −44 > −2x − 8 and −2x − 8 ≥ −8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a compound inequality −44 > −2x − 8 ≥ −8

We have to write  an equivalent form of compound inequality.

Compound inequality  consists of two inequalities joined together and the solution is the intersection of each inequality.

Compound inequality has two sides the left hand side and right hand side we can solve them by taking each inequality one at a time.

For given compound inequality, −44 > −2x − 8 ≥ −8

we have

Left side of inequality as  −44 > −2x − 8

and right side of inequality as  −2x − 8 ≥ −8

Thus, option (d) is correct.

Thus, An equivalent form of the  given compound inequality −44 > −2x − 8 ≥ −8 is  −44 > −2x − 8 and −2x − 8 ≥ −8

Answer:

Possible errors: Triangle classification and definition.

Step-by-step explanation:

An isoceles triangle has at least two congruent sides of the same length.  

Given the triangle that has two equal angles, and that you'll have to prove that the triangle also has two equal sides.  

Using the Converse of Isoceles Triangle Theorem, where it states that if a triangle has two congruent angles < PQR ≅ < PRQ, for which opposite sides of those angles are congruent:  

The opposite side of <PQR is line PR.The opposite side of <PRQ is line PQ.  

Additionally, connecting point P to point X along the line QR such that PX ⊥ QR, divides △PQR into two symmetrical sections, where points Q and R are equidistant from point X.

Please help me with this problem

Answers

Hello this will be easy for you.

Look at the picture, you have the angle UTR which is of 90° degrees. Thus the angle UTS is also 90° .

But the sum of the angles of a triangle is by property equal to 180° so the angle UVT must be equal to 180-90-64 = 26°.

Now we are getting near to solve that x+8 degrees angle.

Recall that UVT is 26° ok ? So 180-26 = x+8

Thus

x+8 = 154

x = 154 - 8

x = 146

Finally the angle UVS = 154 and the value of x = 146

You can see all the angles in the image attached below

Good luck you will be the best

Given (x – 7)2 = 36, select the values of x.

x = 13

x = 1

x = –29

x = 42

Answers

Answer:

x = 13 and x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-7)² = 36

simplify left side of equation

x² - 14x + 49 = 36

Our object now is to get every thing on the left side of the equal sign so we can factor. To do this, we subtract 36 from both sides

x² - 14x + 13 = 0

we then factor the left side of the equation

( x - 1 ) ( x - 13 ) = 0

we then set factors equal to 0 and solve both factors for x

x - 1 = 0

add 1 to both sides

x = 1

x - 13 = 0

add 13 to both sides

x = 13

The values of x are x = 13 and x = 1

What is 64 minutes as mixed number? (i'm pretty sure it might be

but i don't know)

Answers

Answer:

1 1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

64 minutes is the same thing as 64/60 minutes.

64 goes into 60 once. 64-60=4, so that would be your numerator. You would keep the denominator as 60, since it's still out of 60.

If you put those numbers together your fraction would be

1 and 4/60, if you want to simplify, 60/4=15, so 1 and 1/15 would be your fraction.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

c = 12√2. or 16.968.

hope this helps you.

Since both a & b have the same measurements, the triangle is a right angled isosceles triangle (we use pythagorean theorem only for right angled triangles). So, C is obviously the hypotenuse of the triangle (the longest side).

According to the pythagorean theorem,

Hypotenuse² = Base² + Altitude²

C² = A² + B²

C² = 12² + 12²

C² = 144 + 144

C² = 288

C = √288

C = 16.975

C = 17 (approx.)

A board that measures 3/4 feet long is cut into 6 equal pieces. What is the length of each piece?

Answers

Answer:

See below:

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that there is a [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] feet long board and that it is split into 6 pieces.

With that information, we can split it by doing the following:

1. [tex]\frac{3}{4} *\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

We can do this because we have a board that is 0.75 feet long and we multiply it by one sixth because we want to divide a fraction and to do that we have to flip the fraction.

After doing that, we get our answer of [tex]\frac{3}{24}=\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

This means that each piece is [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] feet long.

Cheers!

Answer:

3/24 feet long each.

Step-by-step explanation:

You are dividing 3/4 by 6, so the expression is:

(3/4) / 6

You can rewrite this as:

(3/4) * (1/6)

Then, multiply across, with the numerator of the new fraction being (3 * 1) and the denominator being (4 * 6)
