-6 / 2 = -3 so
x^2 - 6x + 8 is
(x - 3)^2 -9 + 8

= (x - 3)^2 - 1

the vertex is at (3,-1)

How do the graphs of y =1/x and y = 3/x – 4 compare?

Pie

The graphs of y =1/x and y = 3/x – 4 can be compared by saying that compared to the graph of y =1/x , the graph of y =3/x – 4 is a vertical stretch by a factor of 3 and a translation of 4 units down. This can be seen clearly when you graph the functions on a x-y coordinate plane.

Since profit can't be negative, the production level that'll maximize profit is approximately equal to 220.

<h3>How to find the production level that'll maximize profit?</h3>

The cost function, C(x) is given by 12000 + 400x − 2.6x² + 0.004x³ while the demand function, P(x) is given by 1600 − 8x.

Next, we would differentiate the cost function, C(x) to derive the marginal cost:

C(x) = 12000 + 400x − 2.6x² + 0.004x³

C'(x) = 400 − 5.2x + 0.012x².

Also, revenue, R(x) = x × P(x)

Revenue, R(x) = x(1600 − 8x)

Revenue, R(x) = 1600x − 8x²

Next, we would differentiate the revenue function to derive the marginal revenue:

R'(x) = 1600 - 8x

At maximum profit, the marginal revenue is equal to the marginal cost:

1600 - 8x = 400 − 5.2x + 0.012x

1600 - 8x - 400 + 5.2x - 0.012x² = 0

1200 - 2.8x - 0.012x² = 0

0.012x² + 2.8x - 1200 = 0

Solving by using the quadratic equation, we have:

x = 220.40 or x = -453.73.

Since profit can't be negative, the production level that'll maximize profit is approximately equal to 220.

When the effective interest rate is 9% per annum, what is the present value of a series of 50 annual payments that start at $100

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

$1,109.62

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first compute the future value FV.

In order to see the rule of formation, let's see the value (in $) for the first few years

End of year 0

1,000

End of year 1(capital + interest + new deposit)

1,000*(1.09)+10

End of year 2 (capital + interest + new deposit)

(1,000*(1.09)+10)*1.09 +10 =

$\bf 1,000*(1.09)^2+10(1+1.09)$

End of year 3 (capital + interest + new deposit)

$\bf (1,000*(1.09)^2+10(1+1.09))(1.09)+10=\\1,000*(1.09)^3+10(1+1.09+1.09^2)$

and we can see that at the end of year 50, the future value is

$\bf FV=1,000*(1.09)^{50}+10(1+1.09+(1.09)^2+...+(1.09)^{49}$

The sum

$\bf 1+1.09+(1.09)^2+...+(1.09)^{49}$

is the sum of a geometric sequence with common ratio 1.09 and is equal to

$\bf \frac{(1.09)^{50}-1}{1.09-1}=815.08356$

and the future value is then

$\bf FV=1,000*(1.09)^{50}+10*815.08356=82,508.35564$

The present value PV is

$\bf PV=\frac{FV}{(1.09)^{50}}=\frac{82508.35564}{74.35572}=1,109.616829\approx \$1,109.62$

rounded to the nearest hundredth.
