The table shows the annual consumption of cheese per person in the United States for selected years in the 20th century. Let x =

number of years since 1900, and y = pounds per person. What cubic model best fits this data? YearPounds Consumed. 19021.959. 19246.373. 19467.29. 198215.817. A. y = 0.00989x3 - 0.0000872x2 + 1.192x + 0.403. B. y = -0.0000872x3 + 0.00989x2 - 0.403x - 1.192. C. y = -0.0000872x3 - 0.00989x2 - 0.403x + 1.192. D. y = 0.0000872x3 - 0.00989x2 + 0.403x + 1.192

To see what model best represents this data we have to plug in the values for x and y:
Model D :
x = 2, y = 1.959
y = 0.0000872 · 2³ - 0.00989 · 2² + 0.403 · 2 + 1.192 = 1.968
....   ...
x = 82,  y = 15.817
y = 0.000873 · 82³ - 0.00989 · 82² + 0.403 · 82 + 1.192 = 15.818
Answer:
D ) y = 0.0000872 x² - 0.00989 x² + 0.403 x + 1.192

Can you find the marginal profit of a,b and c?
MakcuM [25]
Keeping in mind that for a cost C(x) and profit P(x) and revenue R(x), the marginal cost, marginal profit and marginal revenue are respectively dC/dx, dP/dx and dR/dx, then

\bf P(x)=0.03x^2-3x+3x^{0.8}-4400
\\\\\\
\stackrel{marginal~profit}{\cfrac{dP}{dx}}=0.06x-3+2.4x^{-0.2}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{dP}{dx}=0.06x-3+2.4\cdot \cfrac{1}{x^{0.2}}\implies \cfrac{dP}{dx}=0.06x-3+2.4\cdot \cfrac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{5}}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{dP}{dx}=0.06x-3+\cfrac{2.4}{\sqrt[5]{x}}

\bf a)\qquad 
\cfrac{dP}{dx}=0.06(200)-3+ \cfrac{2.4}{\sqrt[5]{200}}
\\\\\\
b)\qquad \cfrac{dP}{dx}=0.06(2000)-3+\cfrac{2.4}{\sqrt[5]{2000}}
\\\\\\
c)\qquad \cfrac{dP}{dx}=0.06(5000)-3+\cfrac{2.4}{\sqrt[5]{5000}}
\\\\\\
d)\qquad \cfrac{dP}{dx}=0.06(10000)-3+\cfrac{2.4}{\sqrt[5]{10000}}

A furniture store is having a weekend sale and is offering a 20% discount on patio chairs and tables. The sales tax on furniture
dalvyx [7]
First, we subtract 20% of the amount from x, so the initial cost of the furniture should be 80% of x or 0.80x. Then, due to the sales taxs, this amount should be added with 6.25% of itself. Such that,
                                   A = 0.80x + 0.0625(0.80x)
                                       = 0.85x
