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.

Find the value of x in each case.
wolverine [178]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 17°

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical angles at C are the same in each triangle, so the sums of the other two angles in the triangles are the same:

  x +100° = 4x +49°

  51° = 3x . . . . . . . . . . . subtract x+49°

  17° = x . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

Janet's paycheck was $248.60. She put 1/4 of her paycheck into a checking account and 1/5 of what was left to buy dinner for her
jekas [21]

Janet has remaining $ 149.16 in her paycheck

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Janet's paycheck was $248.60

She put 1/4 of her paycheck into a checking account

Therefore amount put into checking account is given as:

\text {amount put into checking account }=\frac{1}{4} \times 248.60=62.15

So she spent $ 62.15 into checking account

Now the remaining paycheck amount left is:

remaining paycheck amount left = 248.60 - 62.15 = 186.45

Therefore remaining paycheck amount left is $ 186.45

Now she spent 1/5 of what was left to buy dinner for her family

\text { Amount spend on dinner }= \frac{1}{5} \times 186.45 = 37.29

So she spent $ 37.29 on dinner

<u><em>Now the remaining paycheck amount left is:</em></u>

remaining paycheck amount left = 186.45 - 37.29 = 149.16

Thus Janet has remaining $ 149.16 in her paycheck
