Demand for Tablet Computers The quantity demanded per month, x, of a certain make of tablet computer is related to the average u

nit price, p (in dollars), of tablet computers by the equation x = f(p) = 100 9 810,000 − p2 It is estimated that t months from now, the average price of a tablet computer will be given by p(t) = 400 1 + 1 8 t + 200 (0 ≤ t ≤ 60) dollars. Find the rate at which the quantity demanded per month of the tablet computers will be changing 25 months from now. (Round your answer to one decimal place.) tablet computers/month

x = f ( p ) = \frac { 100 } { 9 } \sqrt { 810,000 - p ^ { 2 } } } \\\\ \qquad { p ( t ) = \dfrac { 400 } { 1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt { t } } + 200 \quad ( 0 \leq t \leq 60 ) }

Answer:

12.0 tablet computers/month

Step-by-step explanation:

The average price of the tablet 25 months from now will be:

p ( 25) = \dfrac { 400 } { 1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt { 25 } } + 200 \\= \dfrac { 400 } { 1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \times 5 } + 200\\\\=\dfrac { 400 } { 1 + \dfrac { 5 } { 8 } } + 200\\p(25)=\dfrac { 5800 } {13}

Next, we determine the rate at which the quantity demanded changes with respect to time.

Using Chain Rule (and a calculator)

\dfrac{dx}{dt}= \dfrac{dx}{dp}\dfrac{dp}{dt}

\dfrac{dx}{dp}= \dfrac{d}{dp}\left[{ \dfrac { 100 } { 9 } \sqrt { 810,000 - p ^ { 2 } } }\right] =-\dfrac{100}{9}p(810,000-p^2)^{-1/2}

\dfrac{dp}{dt}=\dfrac{d}{dt}\left[\dfrac { 400 } { 1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt { t } } + 200 \right]=-25\left[1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt { t } \right]^{-2}t^{-1/2}

Therefore:

\dfrac{dx}{dt}= \left[-\dfrac{100}{9}p(810,000-p^2)^{-1/2}\right]\left[-25\left[1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt { t } \right]^{-2}t^{-1/2}\right]

Recall that at t=25, p(25)=\dfrac { 5800 } {13} \approx 446.15

Therefore:

\dfrac{dx}{dt}(25)= \left[-\dfrac{100}{9}\times 446.15(810,000-446.15^2)^{-1/2}\right]\left[-25\left[1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt {25} \right]^{-2}25^{-1/2}\right]\\=12.009

The quantity demanded per month of the tablet computers will be changing at a rate of 12 tablet computers/month correct to 1 decimal place.

A given line has the equation 2x + 12y = −1. What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to
VikaD [51]

Answer:

y = 6x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- interceot form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 2x + 12y = - 1 into this form

Subtract 2x from both sides

12y = - 2x - 1 ( divide all terms by 12 )

y = - \frac{1}{6} x - \frac{1}{12} ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - \frac{1}{6}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{-\frac{1}{6} } = 6

Note the line passes through (0, 9) on the y- axis ⇒ c = 9

y = 6x + 9 ← equation of perpendicular line

Geometry Proof - Thanks in advance for the help!
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Using reflexive property (for side), and the transversals of the parallel lines, we can prove the two triangles are congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Since AB and DC are parallel and AC is intersecting in the middle, you can make out two pairs of alternate interior angles<em>.</em> These angle pairs are congruent because of the alternate interior angles theorem. The two pairs of congruent angles are: ∠DAC ≅ ∠BCA, and ∠BAC ≅ ∠DCA.
  • With the reflexive property, we know side AC ≅ AC.
  • Using Angle-Side-Angle theorem, we can prove ΔABC ≅ ΔCDA.
