T = k/R where k is the constant of variation, T=time and R=speed.
Plug in the given values:-
12 = k/60
k = 12*60 = 720
So the equation of variation is T = 720/R

At 85 mph we have

T = 720 / 85 = 8.47 hours (answer)

craig likes to collect records. last year he had 10 records in his collection. now he has 15 records. what is the percent increa

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

His collection increased in a 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 100% represents 10 records, what percentage would be for 12 records?

x = 12 100% / 10 = 120%

So, if we subtract 120% - 100%, it's gonna result in a difference of 20%, which means that 12 represents a 20% more, or his collection increased in a 20%.

An aircraft manufacturer wants to determine the best selling price for a new airplane. The company estimates that the initial co

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

$(a)$ $C(x)=500+20x-5x^{\frac{3}{4}}+0.01x^2$

$p(x)=320-7.7p$

$R(x)=(320-7.7p)p=320p-7.7p^2$

$(b)$ $x=82 \text{planes}$

$(c)$ $p=\$30.91 M\;\; \text{per plane}$

$(d)$ maximum profit $=\$ 15.90M$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The company estimates that the initial cost of designing the aeroplane and setting up the factories in which to build it will be 500 million dollars.

The additional cost of manufacturing each plane can be modelled by the function.

$m(x)=20x-5x^{\frac{3}{4}}+0.01x^2$

$(a)$ Find the cost, demand (or price), and revenue functions.

$C(x)=500+20x-5x^{\frac{3}{4}}+0.01x^2$

$p(x)=320-7.7p$

$R(x)=(320-7.7p)p=320p-7.7p^2$

$(b)$ Find the production level that maximizes profit.

$f=R(x)-C(x)$

$\Rightarrow f=320p-7.7p^2-(500+20x-5x^{\frac{3}{4}}+0.01x^2)$

$\Rightarrow df=320dp-15.4pdp-20dx+5(\frac{3}{4} )x^{\frac{-1}{4} }dx-0.02xdx$

$x=320-7.7p$

$p=\frac{320-x}{7.7}$

$\frac{dp}{dx} = \frac{-1}{7.7}$

$\frac{df}{dx}=\frac{320}{-7.7} -\frac{15.4(320-x) }{7.7(\frac{-1}{7.7} )}-20+5\frac{3}{4} x^{\frac{-1}{4}} -0.02x=0$

$\Rightarrow -41.5584+83.1169-0.2597x-20+3.75x^{\frac{-1}{4} }-0.02x=0$

$\Rightarrow 21.5585+3.75x^{\frac{-1}{4} }-0.279x=0$

$\Rightarrow x=82 \text{planes}$

$(c)$ Find the associated selling price of the aircraft that maximizes profit.

$p=\frac{320-82}{7.7}$

$\Rightarrow p=\$30.91 M\;\; \text{per plane}$

$(d)$ Find the maximum profit.

Manufacturing cost of one plane is:

$m(1)=20-5+0.01$

$=\$15.01 M$

maximum profit $=\$(30.91-15.01)M$

$=\$15.90M$
