An artist can sell 20 copies of a painting at $100 each, but for each additional copy he makes, the value of each painting will

go down by a dollar. Thus, if 22 copies are made, each will sell for $98. How many copies should he make to maximize his sales?

Answer:

40 more paintings in order to maximize sales making a total of 60 paintings

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= no.of copies above 20

Total Sales(x) = (number of copies)(price per copy)

Sales (x)= (20 +x)(100 –x)

Open bracket

=1200-20x+100x-x^2

=1200+80x-x^2

Derivative of the sales

80-2x=0

80=2x

Divide both sides by 2

40=x

Because Sales(x)= –2, this is maximal by the second derivative test

The artist should make 40 more paintings in order to maximize sales making a total of 60 paintings.

a tour bus cost $75 plus $6 for each passenger. write and evaluate an expression to find the total cost for 25 passengers. then.
miskamm [114]
To make an expression for any amount of passengers, you need to use x for each passenger. Fill in x with the amount of passengers. Your equation is: 
75 + 6x. Now using this expression, we can find the answer to all of the amounts of passengers.

75 + 6(25) = 225; 75 + 6(26) = 231; and so on. Hope that I helped! Good luck!

A student repeatedly measures the mass of an object using a mechanical balance and gets the following values: 560 g, 562 g, 556
MrRissso [65]

Answer: 2.76 g

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the standard deviation:-

\sigma=\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum(x_i-\overline{x})^2}{n}}

The given data values : 560 g, 562 g, 556 g, 558 g, 560 g, 556 g, 559 g, 561 g, 565 g, 563 g.

Then,  \overline{x}=\dfrac{\sum_{i=1}^{10} x_i}{n}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \overline{x}=\dfrac{560+562+556+558+560+556+559+561+565+563}{10}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \overline{x}=\dfrac{5600}{10}=560

Now, \sum_{i=1}^{10}(x_i-\overline{x})^2=0^2+2^2+(-4)^2+(-2)^2+0^2+(-4)^2+(-1)^2+1^2+5^2+3^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ \sum_{i=1}^{10}(x_i-\overline{x})^2=76

Then, \sigma=\sqrt{\dfrac{76}{10}}=\sqrt{7.6}=2.76

Hence, the  standard deviation of his measurements = 2.76 g

How to simplyfy 2x+2x
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Your answer is 4x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 2+2

Combine your x's (like terms)

then you got 4 from 2+2

Add the leftover x so it makes 4+x then add it will give you 4x.

Any line with no slope is parallel to the<br><br> *x-axis<br> *y-axis<br> *line y = x
Aleks04 [339]
The x-axis.

In the form Y = mx + b

m is the slope, so no slope means that my is zero so that means x is zero also.

So you would end up with

y = b so that means y will always be that value and the only thing that will change is the x value. This will create a horizontal lines that is parallel to the x-axis
