For a certain company, the cost for producing x items is 40x+300 and the revenue for selling x items is 80x−0.5x2. The profit that the company makes is how much it takes in (revenue) minus how much it spends (cost). In economic models, one typically assumes that a company wants to maximize its profit, or at least wants to make a profit!



Part a: Set up an expression for the profit from producing and selling x items. We assume that the company sells all of the items that it produces. (Hint: it is a quadratic polynomial.)



Part b: Find two values of x that will create a profit of $300.



The field below accepts a list of numbers or formulas separated by semicolons (e.g. 2;4;6 or x+1;x−1). The order of the list does not matter. To enter a−−√, type sqrt(a).

Part c: Is it possible for the company to make a profit of $15,000?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The profit is maximum when x = 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost function, C = 40 x + 300

Revenue function, R = 80 x - 0.5 x^2

The profit function is

[tex]P = R - C\\\\P = 80 x - 0.5 x^2 - 40 x - 300\\\\P = - 0.5 x^2 + 40 x - 300\\\\\frac{dP}{dx} = - x + 40\\\\So, \frac{dP}{dx} = 0\\\\-x + 40 = 0 \\\\x = 40[/tex]

So, the profit is maximum when x = 40 .

2x-7 = x+y-9 = y+5

Using the last two

x+y-9 = y+5

Subtract y from each side

x+y-9-y = y+5-y

x-9 = 5

Add 9 to each side

x -9+9 = 5+9

x=14

There is 3m wide path around a circular cricket ground having the diameter of 137 m. Find the area of the path.​

Answers

Answer:

1320 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

area of ground = π r ^2

= (22/7) × (137/2)^2

= 14,747.0714286 m^2

area of ground and path

=( 22/7)(143/2)^2

= 16,067.0714286 m^2

area of path

=16,067.0714286 -14,747.0714286

= 1320 m^2

note :

r = radius = diameter /2

area of a circle = π r^2

diameter of circle created with path and ground = 137 + 2 × width of path

= 137 + 2× 3 = 143 m

Please refer to the attachment below for the specified names.

Solve:

8 = Hundred thousands

4 = Ten thousands

9 = One thousands

A construction crane lifts a bucket of sand originally weighing 145 lbs at a constant rate. Sand is lost from the bucket at a constant rate of .5lbs/ft. How much work is done in lifting the sand 80ft?

Answers

Answer: [tex]10,000\ lb.ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Initial weight of the bucket is [tex]145\ lb[/tex]

It is lifted at constant rate and rate of sand escaping is [tex]0.5\ lb/ft[/tex]

At any height weight of the sand is [tex]w(h)=145-0.5h[/tex]

Work done is given by the product of applied force and displacement or the area under weight-displacement graph

from the figure area is given by

[tex]\Rightarrow W=\int_{0}^{80}\left ( 145-0.5h \right )dh\\\\\Rightarrow W=\left | 145h-\dfrac{0.5h^2}{2} \right |_0^{80}\\\\\Rightarrow W=\left [ 145\times 80-\dfrac{0.5(80))^2}{2} \right ]-0\\\\\Rightarrow W=11,600-1600\\\\\Rightarrow W=10,000\ lb.ft[/tex]

A $22,000 loan was taken out. If $24,805 is due at the end of the loan after being compounded daily at 2.5%, how many
years was the loan for? (Round to the nearest tenth of a year)
Provide your answer below

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  4.8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the compound interest formula for the number of years gives ...

  t = log(A/P)/(n·log(1 +r/n))

where principal P invested at rate r compounded n times per year produces value A after t years.

  t = log(24805/22000)/(365·log(1 +0.025/365)) ≈ 4.800

The loan was for 4.8 years.

what is the area of the triangle ://

Answers

Answer:

The area of a triangle is:

Area = 1/2(bh)

Area = 1/2(70)

Area = 35 square inches

Let me know  if this helps!

Answer:

A = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

10^2 + b^2 = 12^2

100 + b^2 = 144

144 - 100 = b^2

b^2 = 44

b = 6.6

6.6 x 10 = 66/2 = 33

7 - 6.6 = 0.4

10 x 0.4 = 4/2 = 2

Area = 33 + 2

Area = 35

CE is tangent to this circle, CD is a radius and ECB=48 what is BAC​

Answers

Answer:

48degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

From the circle geometry shown, traingle BDC is an isosceles triangle which shows means that their base angels are the same. Hence;

<B = <C

<CBD + <BCD + <D = 180

<BCD + <BCD + <D =180

2<BCD + <BDC = 180

Get <BCD;

<BCD+ <ECB = 90

<BCD + 48 = 90

<BCD = 90 - 48

<BCD = 42degrees

Get <BDC

2<BCD + <BDC = 180

2(42)+ <BDC = 180

84 + <BDC = 180

<BDC = 180 - 84

<BDC = 96

Since angle at the centre is twice that at the circumference, then;

<BAC = 1/2(<BDC )

<BAC = 96/2

<BAC = 48degrees

the first one is 3.7 x 10^-4

and the second one is 3.7 x 10^4

explanation:

when we have decimals we are going backward,

therefore "0.00037" would be a negative number

to find the scientific notation form, we have to move the decimal over to the left untill we get 3.7

it took 4 moves to the right to get to 3.7, and since were dealing with decimals it will be negative,

so the first one is 3.7 x 10^4

the second one however is not a decimal so it will be a positive exponent.

now remember that there is always a decimal after a number we might just not see it.

so, going from the very end of the number it takes us 4 moves to the left to get to 3.7

so,

the second one will be 3.7 x 10^4

3. Rotated 90° anticlockwise about the origin

B) Its final coordinates are (8,-6)
C) Its final coordinates are (-8,6)
D) Its final coordinates are (-3,1)

Answers

Answer:

B) Its final coordinates are (8,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Translated 1 unit up and 4 units left

(-2,7) becomes (-6, 8)

2. Reflected about the x-axis

(-6,8) becomes (-6, -8)

3. Rotated 90° anticlockwise about the origin

(-6, -8) becomes (8, -6) because when rotating 90 degrees anticlockwise about the origin, point A (x,y) becomes point A' (-y,x). In other words, switch the x and y and make y negative.

Answer:

The height is 20 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

First set up the equation (Area)80=bh/2 then set up another equation, (height) h=4+2b (base). After this you can substitute h in the equation to end up with 80=(b(2b+4))/2 simplify it to get 80=b^2+2b then solve. The base is 8 meters, plug into the formula that we made before and you find the height is 20 meters.
