Answer:

a)  P(x)=-0.042x^2+530x-18000

b)  P'(x)=-0.084x+530

c)

P'(4000)=194

P'(9500)=-268

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

We know that Revenue is our total income and cost is our total cost. Thus, profit is what's left after cost is subtracted from Income (revenue). Thus, we can say:

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

Finding Profit Function (P(x)):

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)\\P(x) = -0.042x^2+800x-(270x+18000)\\P(x)=-0.042x^2+800x-270x-18000\\P(x)=-0.042x^2+530x-18000

This is the profit function.

b)

The marginal profit is the profit earned when ONE ADDITIONAL UNIT of the product is sold. This is basically the rate of change of profit per unit. We find this by finding the DERIVATIVE of the Profit Function.

Remember the power rule for differentiation shown below:

\frac{d}{dx}(x^n)=nx^{n-1}

Now, we differentiate the profit function to get the marginal profit function (P'):

P(x)=-0.042x^2+530x-18000\\P'(x)=2(-0.042)x^1+530x^0-0\\P'(x)=-0.084x+530

This is the marginal profit function , P'.

c)

We need to find P'(4000) and P'(9500). So we basically put "4000" and "9500" in the marginal profit function's "x". The value is shown below:

P'(x)=-0.084x+530\\P'(4000)=-0.084(4000)+530\\P'(4000)=194

and

P'(x)=-0.084x+530\\P'(9500)=-0.084(9500)+530\\P'(9500)=-268

Vlada [557]

Answer:

x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equations 2(x+9), 30+18 to search for a value of x that yields an equivalent statement.  2(x+9)=30+18\\2(x+9)=48\\x+9=24\\x=15.

PLEASE HELP! Given the function f(x) = 3x2 − 4, what is f(-2)?
EleoNora [17]

Answer: Variant C


Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x^2 − 4

For finding f(-2) just replace x with - 2 like this:

f(-2)=3*((-2))^2-4=3*4-4=12-4=8

A regular hexagon rotates counterclockwise about its center. It turns through angles greater than 0° and less than or equal to 3
Bogdan [553]
Hey there Caleb!

To start of, the sentence was clear on that it said . . . 

\boxed{A \ regular \ hexagon \ rotates \ counterclockwise \ about \ its &#10; \ center }

The statement listed above is the (key) point. We need to keep this in mind.

So, now that we know this.

We would use the mathematic (Ф)

So,sense we know that a (hexagon) had it's (6) shapes, we would do . . . 

Ф = 360° : 6 = 60°

Your correct answer to this question would be . . . 

\boxed{\boxed{60}}

Hope this helps.
