Answer: 30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation: First we can reduce the fraction 2/4 by dividing the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 2 and 4.

Since the factors of 2 are 1 and 2 and the factors of 4 are 1, 2, and 4, the greatest common factor of 2 and 4 is 2. So we divide the numerator and the denominator of 2/4 by 2 and we get the equivalent fraction 1/2.

Now we can change the question to say 1/2 of an hour is how many minutes?

We know that 1 hour is equivalent to 60 minutes so half of 1 hour would be 30 minutes.

Therefore, 2/4 of an hour is 30 minutes.

Vinegar is the x or horizontal oil is the y or vertical
$\frac{3}{2} = \frac{y}{x} \\ 3x = 2y \\ y = \frac{3}{2} x$
the point represent the amount of vinegar and oil so for 1 tbsp vinegar you need 1.5tbsp oil

A company manufactures and sells x television sets per month. The monthly cost and price-demand equations are C(x)equals72 com

solmaris [256]

Answer:

Part (A)

1. Maximum revenue: $450,000

Part (B)

2. Maximum protit: $192,500

3. Production level: 2,300 television sets

4. Price: $185 per television set

Part (C)

5. Number of sets: 2,260 television sets.

6. Maximum profit: $183,800

7. Price: $187 per television set.

Explanation:

0. Write the monthly cost and price-demand equations correctly:

Cost:

$C(x)=72,000+70x$

Price-demand:

$p(x)=300-\dfrac{x}{20}$

Domain:

$0\leq x\leq 6000$

1. Part (A) Find the maximum revenue

Revenue = price × quantity

Revenue = R(x)

$R(x)=\bigg(300-\dfrac{x}{20}\bigg)\cdot x$

Simplify

$R(x)=300x-\dfrac{x^2}{20}$

A local maximum (or minimum) is reached when the first derivative, R'(x), equals 0.

$R'(x)=300-\dfrac{x}{10}$

Solve for R'(x)=0

$300-\dfrac{x}{10}=0$

$3000-x=0\\\\x=3000$

Is this a maximum or a minimum? Since the coefficient of the quadratic term of R(x) is negative, it is a parabola that opens downward, meaning that its vertex is a maximum.

Hence, the maximum revenue is obtained when the production level is 3,000 units.

And it is calculated by subsituting x = 3,000 in the equation for R(x):

R(3,000) = 300(3,000) - (3000)² / 20 = $450,000

Hence, the maximum revenue is $450,000

2. Part (B) Find the maximum profit, the production level that will realize the maximum profit, and the price the company should charge for each television set. 

i) Profit(x) = Revenue(x) - Cost(x)

Profit (x) = R(x) - C(x)

$Profit(x)=300x-\dfrac{x^2}{20}-\big(72,000+70x\big)$

$Profit(x)=230x-\dfrac{x^2}{20}-72,000\\\\\\Profit(x)=-\dfrac{x^2}{20}+230x-72,000$

ii) Find the first derivative and equal to 0 (it will be a maximum because the quadratic function is a parabola that opens downward)

Profit' (x) = -x/10 + 230

-x/10 + 230 = 0

-x + 2,300 = 0

x = 2,300

Thus, the production level that will realize the maximum profit is 2,300 units.

iii) Find the maximum profit.

You must substitute x = 2,300 into the equation for the profit:

Profit(2,300) = - (2,300)²/20 + 230(2,300) - 72,000 = 192,500

Hence, the maximum profit is $192,500

iv) Find the price the company should charge for each television set:

Use the price-demand equation:

p(x) = 300 - x/20

p(2,300) = 300 - 2,300 / 20

p(2,300) = 185

Therefore, the company should charge a price os $185 for every television set.

3. Part (C) If the government decides to tax the company $4 for each set it produces, how many sets should the company manufacture each month to maximize its profit? What is the maximum profit? What should the company charge for each set?

i) Now you must subtract the $4 tax for each television set, this is 4x from the profit equation.

The new profit equation will be:

Profit(x) = -x² / 20 + 230x - 4x - 72,000

Profit(x) = -x² / 20 + 226x - 72,000

ii) Find the first derivative and make it equal to 0:

Profit'(x) = -x/10 + 226 = 0

-x/10 + 226 = 0

-x + 2,260 = 0

x = 2,260

Then, the new maximum profit is reached when the production level is 2,260 units.

iii) Find the maximum profit by substituting x = 2,260 into the profit equation:

Profit (2,260) = -(2,260)² / 20 + 226(2,260) - 72,000

Profit (2,260) = 183,800

Hence, the maximum profit, if the government decides to tax the company $4 for each set it produces would be $183,800

iv) Find the price the company should charge for each set.

Substitute the number of units, 2,260, into the equation for the price:

p(2,260) = 300 - 2,260/20

p(2,260) = 187.

That is, the company should charge $187 per television set.

Solve by factoring: 5x^2 + 19x + 12 = 0

Mariulka [41]

When solving polynomial equations, first set the equation

equal to zero, then check for a Greatest Common Factor.

Since there is no greatest common factor, this will make life a

little bit more difficult because we will have to factor the trinomial.

First, find all possible factors for constant term.

I have listed these in red below.

Make sure to reverse the factors since in each binomial,

the first term is different so we need to reverse the factors.

The factors of 5x² will just be 5x and z.

After finding factors for the constant and the leading

coefficient for your trinomial, we can eliminate some factors.

If you have an odd coefficient on the middle term,

you can eliminate any pairs of even factors.

So the group I crossed out in purple below will be eliminated.

Another strategy is to use factors a little closer together.

So I would go with the 4 and 3 group.

Surely enough, our trinomial does factor with the 4 and 3.

Now set the factored trinomial equal to 0.

Then use zero product property and you have your answer.
