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

1.3x - 10= 0.8x - 8<br> solve for x
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1.3x - 10 = 0.8x - 8

Add 10 to both sides.

1.3x = 0.8x + 2

Subtract 0.8x from both sides.

0.5x = 2

Divide by 0.5.

x = 4.

Proof:

1.3x - 10 = 0.8x - 8

1.3(4) - 10 = 0.8(4) - 8

5.2 - 10 = 3.2 - 8

-4.8 = -4.8

How many square feet of outdoor carpet will we need for this hole?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The area of the outdoor carpet = 60 - 6 - 6 = 48 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture below is what you are referring to .

The whole area of the shape forms a rectangle. A triangle and a  rectangle has been cut off from the whole carpet rectangle. The square ft or area of the carpet is the subtraction of the area of the rectangle and triangle cut off from the whole area of the rectangle .

Area of the rectangle = Lb

where

L = 12 ft

b =  5 ft

area = 12 × 5  = 60 ft²

The cut off triangle area

area = 1/2 × base × height

area = 1/2 × 4 × 3

area = 12/2 = 6 ft²

The cut off rectangle area

area = Lb

area = 3 × 2

area = 6 ft²

The area of the outdoor carpet = 60 - 6 - 6 = 48 ft²

Find the points of intersection of the following function graphs: y=20x−70 and y=70x+30
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

(-2,-110)

Step-by-step explanation:

First solve for x

20x−70=70x+30

x= -2

Now substitute x for -2

y=20x−70

y=20(-2)-70

y = -110
