Answer:

The price per wind chime that will maximize revenue = $ 315

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - A gift shop sells 160 wind chimes per month at $150 each. the owners estimate that for each $15 increase in price, they will sell 5 fewer wind chimes per month.

To find - Find the price per wind chime that will maximize revenue.

Proof -

Given that,

Total Wind chimes selling = 160

Price of each Wind chime = $150

Now,

Given that, for each $15 increase in price, they will sell 5 fewer wind chimes per month.

So,

Let the price = 150 + 15x

So,

Number of wind Chimes sold per month = 160 - 5x

So,

Total Revenue, R = (150 + 15x)(160 - 5x)

= 24000 - 750x + 2400x - 75x²

= 24000 + 1650x - 75x²

⇒R(x) = 24000 + 1650x - 75x²

Differentiate R with respect to x , we get

R'(x) = 1650 - 150x

Now,

For Maximize Revenue, Put R'(x) = 0

⇒1650 - 150x = 0

⇒150x = 1650

⇒x = 1650/150

⇒x = 11

∴ we get

Price per Wind chime = $ 150 + 15(11)

= $ 150 + 165

= $ 315

So,

The price per wind chime that will maximize revenue = $ 315

A cyclist rides his bike at a rate of 21 miles per hour. What is this rate in miles per minute? How many miles will the cyclist

Citrus2011 [14]

5 days ago, hope this still helps though!

Alright 21 miles per hour. We know that there are 60 minutes in an hour. So this is basically saying 21 miles per 60 minutes. To find the rate for miles per minute, you divide 21 by 60 which is 0.35.

In one minute the cyclist rides 0.35 miles
In two minutes the cyclist rides 0.7 miles

Out of the three answers, which one is correct? I would also appreciate an explanation

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

69

Step-by-step explanation:

All angles in a triangle = 180°

35 + x + (x+7) = 180

42 + 2x = 180

2x = 138

x = 69

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Divide 250 by 9.4 to get 26.6

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate her unit rate, 1 minute, we must divide the distance travelled over 9.4 minutes by 9.4 to see how far she travelled in 1 minute.

You throw a ball up and its height h can be tracked using the equation h=2x^2-12x+20.

postnew [5]

This problem seems to be wrong because no minimum point was found and no point of landing exists

Answer:

1) There is no maximum height

2) The ball will never land

Step-by-step explanation:

Derivatives

Sometimes we need to find the maximum or minimum value of a function in a given interval. The derivative is a very handy tool for this task. We only have to compute the first derivative f' and have it equal to 0. That will give us the critical points.

Then, compute the second derivative f'' and evaluate the critical points in there. The criteria establish that

If f''(a) is positive, then x=a is a minimum

If f''(a) is negative, then x=a is a maximum

1)

The function provided in the question is

$h(x)=2x^2-12x+20$

Let's find the first derivative

$h'(x)=4x-12$

solving h'=0:

$4x-12=0$

x=3

Computing h''

h''(x)=4

It means that no matter the value of x, the second derivative is always positive, so x=3 is a minimum. The function doesn't have a local maximum or the ball will never reach a maximum height

2)

To find when will the ball land, we set h=0

$2x^2-12x+20=0$
