The dimensions such as length is 18 and width is 16 or length is 32 and width is 9 will produce an enclosed area of 288ft.

<h3>What is the dimension of length and width?</h3>

We know that,

P = l + 2w

50 = l + 2w

50 - 2w = l

A = l x w

288 = (50 - 2w)w

288 = 50w -2w²

2w² - 50w + 288

By dividing throughout by 2

w² - 25w + 144

This is in quadratic equation form.

By applying quadratic formula,

w = (-(-25) ± \sqrt{(-25)^{2}-4*1*144) / 2

w = (-(-25) ± 7)/2

w1 =  (-(-25) + 7)/2

w1 = (25 + 7) / 2

w1 = 16

w2 =  (-(-25) - 7)/2

w2 = (25 - 7) / 2

w2 = 9

By substituting the values in eq1,

A = l x w

if w = 16

288 = l x 16

l = 288/16

l = 18

if w = 9

288 = l x 9

l = 288/9

l = 32

The dimensions will be length is 18 and width is 16 or length is 32 and width is 9.

A retail company estimates that if it spends x thousands of dollars on advertising during the year, it will realize a profit of
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the profit realized by the company is modelled by the equation

P (x) = −0.5x² + 120x + 2000, marginal profit occurs at dP/dx = 0

dP/dx = -x+120

P'(x) = -x+120

Company's marginal profit at the $100,000 advertising level will be expressed as;

P '(100) = -100+120

P'(100) = 20

Marginal profit at the $100,000 advertising level is $20,000

Company's marginal profit at the $140,000 advertising level will be expressed as;

P '(140) = -140+120

P'(140) = -20

Marginal profit at the $140,000 advertising level is $-20,000

<u>Based on the marginal profit at both advertising level, I will recommend the advertising expenditure when profit between $0 and $119 is made. At any marginal profit from $120 and above, it is not advisable for the company to advertise because they will fall into a negative marginal profit which is invariably a loss.</u>
