Answer:

r=$14,400

The hotel should charge $120

Step-by-step explanation:

Revenue (r)= p * n

where,

p = price per item

n = number of items sold

A change in price leads to a change in number sold

A variable to measure the change in p and n needs to be introduced

Let the variable=x

Such that

p + x means a one dollar price increase

p - x means a one dollar price decrease

n + x means a one item number-sold increase

n - x means a one item number-sold decrease

for each $2 price increase (p + 2x) there are 3 fewer rooms are rented (n-3x)

know that at $60 per room, the hotel rents 210 rooms

r = (60 + 2x) * (210 - 3x)

=12,600-180x+420x-6x^2

=12,600+240x-6x^2

r=2100+40x-x^2

= -x^2 +40x+2100=0

Solve the quadratic equation

x= -b +or- √b^2-4ac / 2a

a= -1

b=40

c=2100

x= -b +or- √b^2-4ac / 2a

= -40 +or- √(40)^2 - (4)(-1)(2100) / (2)(-1)

= -40 +or- √1600-(-8400) / -2

= -40 +or- √ 1600+8400 / -2

= -40 +or- √10,000 / -2

= -40 +or- 100 / -2

x= -40+100/-2 OR -40-100/-2

=60/-2 OR -140/-2

= -30 OR 70

x=70

The quadratic equation has a maximum at x=70

p+2x

=60+2(30)

=60+60

=$120

r= (60 + 2x) * (210 - 3x)

={60+2(30)}*{(210-3(30)}

r=(60+60)*(210-90)

=120*120

=$14,400

Answer:

j = $7.38 / 18

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We have to find the total cost of a 18 juice bottles pack

= $ 9.63 - $ 2.25

= $ 7.38

2. To find how much each bottle of juice costs :

j = $ 7.38 / 18 #

Four lawn sprinkler heads are fed by a 1.9-cm-diameter pipe. The water comes out of the heads at an angle of 35° above the horiz
klemol [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Angle, θ = 35°

Vertical distance, Δx = 6 m

Diameter, d = 1.9 cm

= 0.019 m

A.

When the water leaves the sprinkler, it does so at a projectile motion.

Therefore,

Using equation of motion,

(t × Vox) = 2Vo²(sin θ × cos θ)/g

= Δx = 2Vo²(sin 35 × cos 35)/g

Vo² = (6 × 9.8)/(2 × sin 35 × cos 35)

= 62.57

Vo = 7.91 m/s

B.

Area of sprinkler, As = πD²/4

Diameter, D = 3 × 10^-3 m

As = π × (3 × 10^-3)²/4

= 7.069 × 10^-6 m²

V_ = volume rate of the sprinkler

= area, As × velocity, Vo

= (7.069 × 10^-6) × 7.91

= 5.59 × 10^-5 m³/s

Remember,

1 m³ = 1000 liters

= 5.59 × 10^-5 m³/s × 1000 liters/1 m³

= 5.59 × 10^-2 liters/s

= 0.0559 liters/s.

For the 4 sprinklers,

The rate at which volume is flowing in the 4 sprinklers = 4 × 0.0559

= 0.224 liters/s

C.

Area of 1.9 cm pipe, Ap = πD²/4

= π × (0.019)²/4

= 2.84 × 10^-4 m²

Volumetric flowrate of the four sprinklers = 4 × 5.59 × 10^-5 m³/s

= 2.24 × 10^-4 m³/s

Velocity of the water, Vw = volumetric flowrate/area

= 2.24 × 10^-4/2.84 × 10^-4

= 0.787 m/s
