Q(p) = k/p^3 . . . . . . . . we want to find k
q(10) = k/10^3 = 64
k = 64,000

Revenue = q(p)*p = 64000/p^2
Cost = 150 +2q = 150 +2*64000/p^3

Profit = Revenue -Cost = 64000/p^2(1 -2/p) -150

Differentiating to find the maximum profit, we have
.. dProfit/dp = -2(64000/p^3) +6(64000/p^4) = 0
.. -1 +3/p = 0
.. p = 3

A price of $3 per unit will yield a maximum profit.

ANY JESUS HELPERS PLEASE HELP The incorrect work of a student to solve an equation 2(y + 4) = 4y is shown below: Step 1: 2(y + 4
wariber [46]

Answer:

2 should be distributed as 2y + 8; y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2(y + 4) = 4y

Distribute

2y + 8 = 4y

Step 2 is incorrect because the added instead of multiplied

Continuing on to correct the problem

Subtract 2y from each side

2y+8-2y = 4y-2y

8 = 2y

Divide by 2

8/2 = 2y/2

4 =y

Write the equation of a line that is
zvonat [6]

Answer:

y=0.5x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the equation is parallel, this means that the slope remains the same which is 0.5.

The remaining thing to do is to find b or y-intercept. To do that, the point (6,-2) and the slope of 0.5 will be used.

-2=0.5(6)+b

When solving for b, it will equal to -5.

Therefore the new equation that is parallel is y=0.5x-5
