A community theater uses the function p (d) = (-4d+40) (d−40) to model the profit (in dollars) expected in a weekend when the ti

ckets to a comedy show are priced at d
dollars each. At what price would the theater make the maximum profit, and what is that maximum profit? Show your reasoning.

The theater make the maximum profit at d = $25. Then the maximum profit of the theatre is $ 900.

<h3>What is differentiation?</h3>

The rate of change of a function with respect to the variable is called differentiation. It may be increasing or decreasing.

A community theater uses the function P(d) = (− 4d + 40) (d − 40) to model the profit (in dollars) expected on a weekend when the tickets to a comedy show are priced at d dollars each.

Then the maximum profit of the theatre will be

The function is P(d) = (− 4d + 40) (d − 40)

Differentiate the function with respect to d and put it equal to zero for maximum or minimum profit.

\begin{aligned} \dfrac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} d}P(d) &= 0\\\\\dfrac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} d}(- 4d + 40) (d - 40) &= 0\\\\(-4d+40) -4 (d-40) &= 0\\\\-8d + 200 &= 0\\\\d &= 25 \end{aligned}

Then the checking for maximum or minimum, again differentiate, we have

\begin{aligned} \dfrac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} d}P(d) &= \dfrac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} d}(- 4d + 40) (d - 40) \\\\\dfrac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} d}P(d) &= \dfrac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} d}(-8d + 200) \\\\\dfrac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} d}P(d) &= -8\\\\ \dfrac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} d}P(d) & < 0\end{aligned}

The value is less than zero hence maximum value will occur at d = 25.

Then maximum profit will be

P(d) = (− 4×25 + 40) (25 − 40)

P(d) = (− 100 + 40) (−15)

P(d) = (− 60) (− 15)

P(d) = $ 900

More about the differentiation link is given below.

GIVING BRAINLIEST Graph and solve the inequality y&gt;-|x-5|-1
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

First, solve for two points as an equation instead of an inequality to find the boundary line for the inequality.

For:

x

=

0

y

=

0

+

5

y

=

5

Or

(

0

,

5

)

For:

x

=

−

2

y

=

−

2

+

5

y

=

3

Or

(

−

2

,

3

)

We can now plot the two points on the coordinate plane and draw a line through the points to mark the boundary of the inequality.

The boundary line will be solid because the inequality operator contains an "or equal to" clause.

graph{(x^2+(y-5)^2-0.125)((x+2)^2+(y-3)^2-0.125)(y-x-5)=0 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}

Now, we can shade the left side of the line.

graph{(y-x-5) >= 0 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}
