g A gift shop sells 40 wind chimes per month at $110 each. The owners estimate that for each $11 increase in price, they will sell 2 fewer wind chimes per month. Find the price per wind chime that will maximize revenue.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The price that maximizes the revenue is $165

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model the price as a function of sold units as a linear relationship.

Remember that a linear relationship is something like:

y = a*x + b

where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We know that if the line passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the slope can be written as:

a = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

For this line, we have the point (40, $110)

which means that to sell 40 units, the price must be $110

And we know that if the price increases by $11, then he will sell 2 units less.

Then we also have the point (38, $121)

So we know that our line passes through the points (40, $110) and  (38, $121)

Then the slope of the line is:

a = ($121 - $110)/(38 - 40) = $11/-2 = -$5.5

Then the equation of the line is:

p(x) = -$5.5*x + b

to find the value of b, we can use the point (40, $110)

This means that when x = 40, the price is $110

then:

p(40) = $110 = -$5.5*40 + b

            $110 = -$220 + b

       $110 + $220 = b

        $330 = b

Then the price equation is:

p(x) = -$5.5*x + $330

Now we want to find the maximum revenue.

The revenue for selling x items, each at the price p(x), is:

revenue = x*p(x)

replacing the p(x) by the equation we get:

revenue = x*(-$5.5*x + $330)

revenue = -$5.5*x^2 + $330*x

Now we want to find the x-value for the maximum revenue.

You can see that the revenue equation is a quadratic equation with a negative leading coefficient. This means that the maximum is at the vertex.

And remember that for a quadratic equation like:

y = a*x^2 + b*x + c

the x-value of the vertex is:

x = -b/2a

Then for our equation:

revenue = -$5.5*x^2 + $330*x

the x-vale of the vertex will be:

x = -$330/(2*-$5.5) = 30

x = 30

This means that the revenue is maximized when we sell 30 units.

And the price is p(x) evaluated in x = 30

p(30) = -$5.5*30 + $330 = $165

The price that maximizes the revenue is $165

Find how many seconds pass before the object reaches the ground. seconds pass before the object reaches the ground. (Type an integer or a decimal.)​

Answers

Answer:

9.5 seconds pass before the object reaches the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the ball:

The height of the ball after t seconds is given by the following equation:

[tex]h(t) = -16t^2 + 1444[/tex]

Find how many seconds pass before the object reaches the ground.

This is t for which h(t) = 0. So

[tex]h(t) = -16t^2 + 1444[/tex]

[tex]-16t^2 + 1444 = 0[/tex]

[tex]16t^2 = 1444[/tex]

[tex]t^2 = \frac{1444}{16}[/tex]

[tex]t^2 = 90.25[/tex]

[tex]t = \pm \sqrt{90.25}[/tex]

Since it is time, we only take the positive value.

[tex]t = 9.5[/tex]

9.5 seconds pass before the object reaches the ground.

A 3000-lb wrecking ball hangs from a 50-ft cable of density 5 lb/ft attached to a crane. Calculate the work done if the crane lifts the ball from ground level to 50 ft in the air by drawing in the cable.

Answers

Answer:  227,130 J (or 227 kJ).

How?:

When the force is in the same direction than the displacement, we can express the work of this force as: W = F x h

The force is equal to the total weight of the wrecking ball and the cable. The wrecking ball has a mass of 3000 lb. For the cable, we have to calculate the mass as:

Mc = l x p= 50ft x 7lb/ft= 350lb

The total mass is 3,350 lb.

The magnitude of the force is equal to the weight:

F= mg= 3,350lbf

The work done by this force is:

W=F x h= 3,350lbf x 50ft = 167,500lbf - ft

W= 167,500lbf - ft x 1.356J/1lbf - ft = 227,130 J (or 227 kJ).

find the value of x ​

Answers

Now we have to,

find the required value of x.

Let's begin,

→ 3x-2 = 2(x-5)

→ 3x-2 = 2x-10

→ 3x-2x = -10+2

→ x = -8

Hence, value of x is -8.

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 2 = 2 ( x + 5

Solve for x.

Let's solve,

3x - 2 = 2 ( x + 5 )

Step 1:- Distribute 2.

3x - 2 = 2 × x + 2 × 5

3x - 2 = 2x - 10

Step 2 :- Move constant to the right-hand and change their sign.

3x = 2x - 10 + 2

Step 3:- Add -10 and 2.

3x = 2x - 8

Step 4 :- Move variable to the left-hand side and change their sign.

3x - 2x = -8

Step 5 :- Subtract 2x from 2x.

x = -8

Hence, value of x = -8.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Mean,[tex]\mu=68.5[/tex]%=68.5/100

Standard deviation, [tex]\sigma=8.2[/tex]%=8.2/100

We have to find the probability that a student who wrote the examination had a mark between 80% and 100%.

[tex]P(80/100<x<100/100)=P(\frac{80/100-68.5/100}{8.2/100}<\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{100/100-68.5/100}{8.2/100})[/tex]

[tex]P(80/100<x<100/100)=P(1.40<Z<3.84)[/tex]

We know that

[tex]P(a<Z<b)=P(Z<b)-P(Z<a)[/tex]

Using the formula

[tex]P(80/100<x<100/100)=P(Z<3.84)-P(Z<1.40)[/tex]

[tex]P(80/100<x<100/100)=0.99994-0.91924[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Storage solution;  deionized water; stabilizes

Step-by-step explanation:

A pH scale measures the concentration of hydrogen ions in acidic and alkaline solutions.

In chemistry, pH literally means the power of hydrogen ions and it is a measure of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions in a particular solution; thus, specifying the acidity, neutrality or basicity of any chemical solution.

Mathematically, the pH of a solution is given by the formula;

[tex] pH = -log_{10}(H^{+}) [/tex]

On a pH scale, a solution with a pH of 7 is neutral, a solution with a pH below 7 is acidic and it's basic (alkaline) when it's pH is above 7.

A pH meter can be defined as a scientific instrument or device designed and developed for the measurement of the hydrogen-ion concentration in water-based solutions, in order to determine their level of acidity or alkanility.

As a general rule, when using a pH meter to take a measurement, you should keep it in a storage solution until it is needed. Also, a deionized water should be used to rinse the pH meter and gently pat dry.

Furthermore, the pH meter should be placed in a given sample solution and a reading of the measurement taken when the pH of the solution stabilizes

When taking a measurement with a pH meter, keep the instrument in the storage solution until it is needed. Rinse the pH meter with distilled water and gently pat dry.

The pH meter has been the instrument used for the measurement of the hydrogen ion concentration in a sample. The instrument has consisted of a probe that has been placed in the storage medium when it is not in use.

The working procedure of the pH meter has required the washing of pH meter with the distilled water and properly removing the excess water from the probe by pat dry.

The probe has been immersed in the sample and the pH has been recorded. After the experiment, the instrument has been again washed with the distilled water and get stored in the storage solution.
