A) Demand function
price (x) demand (D(x))
4 540
3.50 810
D - 540 810 - 540
----------- = -----------------
x - 4 3.50 - 4
D - 540
----------- = - 540
x - 4
D - 540 = - 540(x - 4)
D = -540x + 2160 + 540
D = 2700 - 540x
D(x) = 2700 - 540x
Revenue function, R(x)
R(x) = price * demand = x * D(x)
R(x) = x* (2700 - 540x) = 2700x - 540x^2
b) Profit, P(x)
profit = revenue - cost
P(x) = R(x) - 30
P(x) = [2700x - 540x^2] - 30
P(x) = 2700x - 540x^2 - 30
Largest possible profit => vertex of the parabola
vertex of 2700x - 540x^2 - 30
When you calculate the vertex you find x = 5 /2
=> P(x) = 3345
Answer: you should charge a log-on fee of $2.5 to have the largest profit, which is $3345.
The third term of the expansion is 6a^2b^2
<h3>How to determine the third term of the
expansion?</h3>
The binomial term is given as
(a - b)^4
The r-th term of the expansion is calculated using
r-th term = C(n, r - 1) * x^(n - r + 1) * y^(r - 1)
So, we have
3rd term = C(4, 3 - 1) * (a)^(4 - 3 + 1) * (-b)^(3-1)
Evaluate the sum and the difference
3rd term = C(4, 2) * (a)^2 * (-b)^2
Evaluate the exponents
3rd term = C(4, 2) * a^2b^2
Evaluate the combination expression
3rd term = 6 * a^2b^2
Evaluate the product
3rd term = 6a^2b^2
Hence, the third term of the expansion is 6a^2b^2

Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
divide the 72 pieces by 2, you already know that 6 + 6 is 12, and 30 +30 is 60, so add 60 and 12 and you get 72
That would be written as:
And the step-by-step equation would be:
→ we take the 2 to the right side of the equation and do the IO*
→we solve for 
→ final answer
*Ps - IO is not an existing term and stands for inverse operation. In this case, because when we take to 2 to the right side of the equation (the 2 is a power) it'll have to turn into a square root (because exponents and roots are inverse operations)
