Answer:

30x -20

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) of 1/5 is 5/1 = 5. Multiplying that by 6x-4 gives ...

5 × (6x -4) = 30x -20

6. Write the explicit formula for the geometric sequence of the height of the ball on the 10th bounce.First bounce: 54 inchescom

Nat2105 [25]

The height of the ball initially is 54 inches. The common ratio has been provided which is 0.750.

The explicit formular for the geometric sequence is shown as;

$\begin{gathered} ar^{n-1} \\ \text{Where a is the first term in the sequence,} \\ r\text{ is the common ratio betw}een\text{ every successive term} \\ \text{And n is the nth term} \\ \text{The explicit formular for the height of the ball on the 10th bounce is;} \\ ar^{n-1} \\ 54\times(0.750)^{10-1} \\ 54\times(0.750)^9 \\ 54\times0.07508468\ldots \\ 4.0545 \end{gathered}$

The explicit formula is shown as;

54 x (0.750)^9

The rest is simply to solve for the height on the 10th bounce

Nick wrote the function p(x) = 17 + 42x – 7x2 in vertex form. His work is below.

Finger [1]

Answer:

step 3

Step-by-step explanation:

he should have subtracted 9 to the outside.

whatever you do to the inside you must do to the opposite to the outside

so your final form must be -7(x-3)^2 + 8

A bakery works out a demand function for its chocolate chip cookies and finds it to be q = D (x) = 943 - 17 x, where q is the q

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

See expla below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the demand function:

q = D (x) = 943 - 17 x

a) Find the elasticity:

Find the derivative of the demand function.

D'(x)= -17

Thus, elasticity expression is:

$\frac{x D'(x)}{D'(x)}$

$= \frac{x (-17)}{943 - 17x}$

$= \frac{17x}{943 - 17x}$

Elasticity expression = $E(x) = \frac{17x}{943 - 17x}$

b) At what price is the elasticity of demand equal to 1?

This means E(x) = 1

Substitute 1 for E(x) in the elasticity equation:

$E(x) = \frac{17x}{943 - 17x}$

$1 = \frac{17x}{943 - 17x}$

Cross multiply:

$943 - 17x = 17x$

Collect like terms

$17x + 17x = 943$

$34x = 943$

$x = \frac{943}{34}$

x = 27.74

Elasticity at the price of demand = 1 is 27.74

c) At what prices is the elasticity of demand elastic?

This means E(x) > 1

Therefore,

$\frac{17x}{943 - 17x} > 1$

Cross multiply:

$17x > 943 - 17x$

Collect like terms

$17x + 17x > 943$

$34x > 943$

$x > \frac{943}{34}$

x > 27.74

The elasticity of demand is elastic at x > 27.74

d) At what prices is the elasticity of demand inelastic?

This means E(x) < 1

Therefore,

$\frac{17x}{943 - 17x} < 1$

Cross multiply:

$17x < 943 - 17x$

Collect like terms

$17x + 17x < 943$

$34x < 943$

$x < \frac{943}{34}$

x < 27.74

The elasticity of demand is inelastic at x < 27.74

e) At what price is the revenue a maximum:

Total revenue will be:

R(x) = x D(x)

= x (943 - 17x)

= 943x - 17x²

R(x) = 934 - 17x(price that maximizes total revenue)

Take R(x) = 0

Thus,

0 = 943 - 17x

17x = 943x

$x = \frac{943}{17}$

$x = 27.74$

Total revenue is maximun at x= 27.74 per cookie

f) At x = 21 per cookie, find the price:

Thus,

R (21) = (943 * 21) - (17 * 21²)

= 19803 - 7497

= 12306

At x = 27.74, find the price:

R(27.74) = (943 * 27.74) - (17 - 27.74²)

= 26158.82 - 13081.63

= 13077.19

We can see the new price of cookie causes the total revenue to decrease.

Therefore, with a small increase in price the total revenue will decrease.
