A retail company estimates that if it spends x thousands of dollars on advertising during the year, it will realize a profit of

P ( x ) dollars, where P ( x ) = − 0.5 x 2 + 120 x + 2000 , where 0 ≤ x ≤ 187 . a . What is the company's marginal profit at the $ 100000 and $ 140000 advertising levels? P ' ( 100 ) = P ' ( 140 ) = b . What advertising expenditure would you recommend to this company? $

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the profit realized by the company is modelled by the equation

P (x) = −0.5x² + 120x + 2000, marginal profit occurs at dP/dx = 0

dP/dx = -x+120

P'(x) = -x+120

Company's marginal profit at the $100,000 advertising level will be expressed as;

P '(100) = -100+120

P'(100) = 20

Marginal profit at the $100,000 advertising level is $20,000

Company's marginal profit at the $140,000 advertising level will be expressed as;

P '(140) = -140+120

P'(140) = -20

Marginal profit at the $140,000 advertising level is $-20,000

<u>Based on the marginal profit at both advertising level, I will recommend the advertising expenditure when profit between $0 and $119 is made. At any marginal profit from $120 and above, it is not advisable for the company to advertise because they will fall into a negative marginal profit which is invariably a loss.</u>

37 For a class picnic, two teachers went to the same store to purchase drinks. One teacher purchased 18 juice boxes and 32 bottl
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let j represent the cost of a juice box.

Let w represent the cost of a bottle of water.

One teacher purchased 18 juice boxes and 32 bottles of water, and spent $19.92.. This means that

18j + 32w = 19.92 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

The other teacher purchased 14 juice boxes and 26 bottles of water, and spent $15.76. This means that

14j + 26w = 15.76- - - - - - - - - - - - 2

Multiplying equation 1 by 14 and equation 2 by 18, it becomes

252j + 448w = 278.88

252j + 468w = 283.68

Subtracting, it becomes

- 20j = - 4.8

j = - 4.8/- 20 = 0.24

Substituting j = 0.24 into equation 1, it becomes

18 × 0.24 + 32w = 19.92

4.32 + 32w = 19.92

32w = 19.92 - 4.32 = 15.6

w = 15.6/32 = 0.4875

Kara's prices are incorrect.

the cost of a juice box is $0.24

the cost of a bottle of water is $0.4875

1) Q: A: If 5 + x = 12, and you add -5 to the left side of equation, what should you add to right side of equation
san4es73 [151]

You can "add" like you say or you could just call it subtracting. If you subtract 5 from 5 you still get zero.  Then on the right side, you would do the same. You would subtract 5 from 12 getting x, which is 7.

If you added you would still get the same answers but it is easier to say just subtract. Anything you do to the left, do to the right.

Hope this helps :)
