Answer:

There is a decrease of 0.75 sales per day

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The price of item = p

- The number of sales = x

- The relationship between "p" and "x" is given below:

4p+4x+2px=56

Find the rate at which x is changing when x=2, p=6, and dp/dt=1.5 The rate at which x is changing is [ ] sales per day

Take the time derivative (d/dt) of the entire given expression and apply chain rule on d/dt ( 2px ). Since both "p" and "x" are only functions of time "t":

d/dt

4p+4x+2px=56

4*dp/dt + 4*dx/dt + 2*(x*dp/dt + p*dx/dt)=0

Use the given values x=2, p=6, and dp/dt=1.5 to determine dx/dt

4*1.5 + 4*dx/dt + 2*(2*1.5+6*dx/dt)=0

6+4dx/dt + 2*(3+6dx/dt)=0

6+4dx/dt + 6+12dx/dt=0

12+16dx/dt=0

12=-16dx/dt

dx/dt= 12/-16

= -0.75

Find x <br><br>Plz help me!!!!
lbvjy [14]
Find the total ° of the shape.
(5-2) x 180°= 540°

x+21°+x = 540°-105°-154°-88°
2x+21° = 193°
2x = 193°-21°
2x = 172°
x = 172° ÷ 2
x = 86°

Tickets to Dundee crowns mr.dchs are $3 for students and $5 for adults. The number of adult tickets sold was 195 more than the n
Maurinko [17]

Answer: number of tickets sold to adult = 566

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of tickets sold by DCHS to students.

Let y = number of tickets sold DCHS to adults.

Tickets to Dundee crowns mr.dchs are $3 for students and $5 for adults.

This means cost of total tickets sold to students and adults is $3x and $5y respectively.

If DCHS collected $3943 for the tickets, then we have

3x + 5y = 3943 - - - - - -1

The number of adult tickets sold was 195 more than the number of student tickets. This means

y = x +195.

Put y = x +195 in equation 1

3x + 5(x+195) = 3943

3x + 5x + 975= 3943

8x +975=3943

8x = 3943-975= 2968

x = 2968/8 = 371

y = 371 + 195= 566
