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

Answer:

3800

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step you want to do is make a proportion

x/4000=95/100

Next you are going to cross multiply which his 4000 times 95 equals 380000 and then multiply 100 times x which is 100x.

Then you are going to divide both sides by 100 and you will cross out the x from the 100 and get only x and then divide 380000 divided by 100 and 3800

Which leaves you with x=3800

3800 people were attending to support the home team

Hope this helps :)

Find the length of the diameter of a sphere with a surface area of 50.27 ft^2.
Liula [17]
Sphere Surface Area     =    <span> 4 • <span>π <span>• r²

50.27 = 4 * PI * r^2
</span></span></span>
<span>50.27 / (4 * PI) = r^2

</span> <span> <span> <span> 4.0003594946 </span> </span> </span> = r^2

r = sq root (<span> <span> <span> 4.0003594946)

radius = </span></span></span> <span> <span> <span> 2.0000898716 </span> </span> </span>

So the diameter = <span> <span> <span> 4.0001797433 </span> </span> </span>

or it is roughly 4 feet
