The inverse of the demand function is; P = 9 - 0.25Q

The profit-maximizing price and quantity are; $8.5 and 2 units.

The maximum profit is; $1

<h3>How to find the inverse of a function?</h3>

A) The demand function we are given is;

Q = 36 - 4P

Making P the subject gives the inverse demand function;

P = (36 - Q)/4

P = 9 - Q/4

P = 9 - 0.25Q

B) The profit-maximization point is the point at which MR = MC.

MR refers to the marginal revenue and MC is the marginal cost.

MC can be calculated as the first derivative of the cost function:

C(Q) = 4 + 4Q + Q²

MC = C'(Q) = 2Q + 4

Total Revenue = Price * Quantity

Total Revenue = (9 - 0.25Q) * Q

Total Revenue = 9Q - 0.25Q²

MR is gotten by differentiating Total Revenue to get;

MR = 9 - 0.5Q

Applying the condition MR = MC, we have;

9 - 0.5Q = 4 - 2Q

Solving for Q gives Q = 2

Thus, profit maximizing quantity is 2.

Thus, profit maximizing price will be;

P(2) = 9 - 0.25(2)

P(2) = $8.5

C) Formula for Maximum Profit is;

Profit = Total Revenue - Total Cost

Total Revenue = 8.5 * 2

Total revenue = $17

Total Cost is;

C(2) = 4 + 4(2) + 2²

C(2) = $16

Thus;

Maximum Profit = 17 - 16 = $1

Which set of ordered pairs is not a functions?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

X values cannot repeat in a function, 3 is used as an X value twice in A, and therefore cannot be a function.

If this is graphed, you can use the vertical line test, if a vertical line on any point goes through other points, it is not a function.

In this case, just check if X repeats.

Rachael needs to rent a car while on vacation. The rental company charges $17.95, plus 19 cents for each
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

116 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by first writing an equation for the cost of the car rental. To begin, the base cost is $17.95, so any further costs must be added to that. Next, the car costs 19 cents (0.19 dollars) for each mile driven, so for each mile, we add 19 cents. This can be written as 0.19 *x if x represents the amount of miles driven. Therefore, we can add the two input costs of the car (the base cost and cost per mile) to get

17.95 + 0.19 * x = total cost.

After that, we want to maximize x/the number of miles with only 40 dollars. We can do this by setting this equal to the total cost, as going over the total cost is impossible and going under would be limiting the amount of miles (this because we are adding money for each mile, so more money means more miles). Therefore, we have

17.95 + 0.19 * x = 40

subtract 17.95 from both sides to isolate the x and its coefficient

22.05 = 0.19 * x

divide both sides by 0.19 to isolate x

22.05/0.19 = x = 116.05

The question asked us to round down, and 116.05 rounded down is 116 for our answer
