Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

a) To express the weekly profit as a function of price

Cost =C(q) = 1500 + 10q

Revenue = p×q = (50 − 0.1q)×q = 50q - 0.1q²

Revenue = 50q - 0.1q²

Weekly profit = Revenue - Cost

P(q) = (50q -0.1q²) - (1500 + 10q)

P(q)= -0.1 q² + 40 q - 1500  

However, q = 500 - 10 p using p = 50 − 0.1q

P= -0.1 (500 - 10 p)² + 40 (500 - 10 p) - 1500

P= -10 p² + 600 p - 6500

b)

The price at which the bottle of the wine must be sold to realise a maximum profit can be determined by finding the derivative and then set it to 0  

P' = 0

= -20p+600 = 0

20p = 600

p = 600/20

p = $30

c)

The maximum profit that can be made by the producer is:

P= -10(30)² + 600(30) - 6500

P = - 9000 + 18000 - 6500

P = $2500

Answer:

The greatest number of 15 inches pieces that can be cut from 5 rolls of length 9 feet is: 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total length of one roll of ribbon = 9 feet

As the pieces have to be cut into inches, we will convert the measurement in feet to inches

As there are 12 inches in one feet, 9 feet will be equal to:

9*12 = 108 inches

Now first of all, we have to see how many 15 inches pieces can be cut from one role

So,

=\frac{Length\ of\ roll}{Length\ of\ piece}\\=\frac{108}{15}\\=7.2

So the seamstress can cut 7 15-inch long pieces from a roll.

Now given that he has to cut from 5 rolls, the total number of 15-inch pieces will be:

= 5 * 7 =35

Hence,

The greatest number of 15 inches pieces that can be cut from 5 rolls of length 9 feet is: 35

A motorcyclist leaves City A and rides at a constant speed towards City B, which is 225 km away. After 1.5 hours, the motorcycli
rewona [7]

Answer:

50 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

OK, this is how I solved this problem.

Let r = original rate of speed

     t = time after the stop to finish the trip

Time for trip without stopping is 225/r

(1)     1.5 + .5 + t = 225/r      This is a time equation

(2)    1.5r + t(r + 10) = 225     This is a distance equation

(1)       2 + t = 225/r            (2)      1.5r + tr + 10t = 225

         2r + tr = 225

                tr = 225 - 2r                 1.5r + 225 - 2r + 10(225/r - 2) = 225

                t = 225/r - 2

                                                   -.5r + 225 + 2250/r - 20 = 225

                                                     -5r + 2250 + 22500/r - 200 = 2250

                                                     -5r^2 + 2250r + 22500 - 200r = 2250r

                                                       5r^2 + 200r - 22500 = 0

                                                       5(r^ + 40r - 4500) = 0

                                                           5(r - 50)(r + 90) = 0

                                                                 r = 50   or    r = -90

The rate cannot be negative, so the original speed 50 km/hr

This not an easy problem and I hope you were able to follow my work
