Answer:

a)one lens: 111,212.66

15000 lenses: 301,100

b)y=111,200+12.66x

slope: 12.66

c)12.66 dollars per unit of lens produced

d) 20.07

e) 19.2

f)decreases

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Cost of producing one lens

fixed expenses+variable expenses=111,200+12.66=111,212.66

Cost of producing 15,000 lenses

fixed expenses+variable expenses=111,200+12.66(15,000)=301,100

b)Expense function:

let y be the expense cost

let x be the number of lenses produced

y=111,200+12.66x

Slope:

The function is  a line equation: y=mx+b where m is the slope.

In this case b=111,200 and m=12.66. So the slope is 12.66

c) the cost increases 12.66 dollars per unit of lens produced

d) The cost of producing 15000 lenses is:

111,200+12.66(15,000)=301,100

If DiMonte produces 15000 lenses, the average cost per lens is:

301,100/15000=20.073≈20.07

e)The cost of producing 17000 lenses is:

111,200+12.66(17,000)=326,420

If DiMonte produces 17000 lenses, the average cost per lens is:

326,420/17,000=19.2

f)The average per lens decrease.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 62 m. The length is four more than two times the width. What is the length?
Travka [436]
--------------------------------------------------
Define length and width
--------------------------------------------------
Let x be the width
width = x
Length = 2x + 4

--------------------------------------------------
Formula
--------------------------------------------------
Perimeter = 2(length + width)

--------------------------------------------------
Find Length and width
--------------------------------------------------
62 = 2(2x + 4 + x)
62 = 2(3x + 4)            <em> ← combine like terms  </em> 
62 = 6x + 8                 <em>← remove bracket </em>  
62 - 8 = 6x                  <em>← minus 8 on both sides </em>
6x = 54                      <em> ← swap sides  </em>
x = 54 ÷ 6                   <em>← divide by 6 on both sides</em>
<em>x = 9 m</em>

--------------------------------------------------
Find Length and Width
--------------------------------------------------
Width = x = 9 m
Length = 2x + 4 = 2(9) + 4 = 22 m

--------------------------------------------------
Answer: Length = 22m
--------------------------------------------------
