I spent 25 Points, PLEASE HELP! In a graph, x represents the number of months since a business opened, and y represents the tota

l amount of money the business has earned. The following three points are from the graph:
(2, 1990)  (5, 4225)  (9, 7205)

Find the slope and y-intercept. Explain what each represents.

The slope of this scenario is 745. The slope represents the profit made each month.

First find the slope.  m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(4225-1990)/(5-2)=745,

m is the slope, this represents the amount of money earned each month that the business operates.

so far we have:

y=745x+b, using any point we can solve for b, I'll use (2,1990)

1990=745(2)+b

1990=1490+b

500=b

b is the y-intercept which is $500, it represents the amount of moeny that the business started with.

The production function f(x) gives the number of units of an item that a manufacturing com pany can produce from units of raw ma
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the notion of the derivative of a function is the rate of change of it. So it kind of tells us how much the value of functioin changes as the independt variable increases or decreases. If it is positive, this means that the function will increase as the indepent variable increases, and if it is negative, that means that the function will decrease as the indepent variable increases.

a) Since f(x) is the number of units you can make out of x units of raw material, it is natural to think that the more material you have, the more units you can make, so we expect f'(x) to be positive.

b) The company buys each unit of raw material at the price w. So the product wx represents the total cost of the raw material used to produce f(x) units. Since each produced unit is sell at the price of p, then the product pf(x) represents the total income for selling all f(x) units.Recall that the profit is the difference between the total income and the total cost of production. Hence, the profit in this case is represented by the formula pf(x)-wx.

c) Recall that a function h(x) that is differentiable attains it's maximum when it's derivative is 0 and it's second derivative is negative.

In this case, we know that the derivative of the profit function, evaluated at x* must be 0, since it is a maximum. So, using the rules of derivation, we know that the derivative of the profit function is pf'(x)-w. Hence,

pf'(x*)-w =0. From where we know that f'(x*)=w/p.

In a certain dart game, points are awarded for hitting a certain sections of the board. You get 5 points for each hit and lose 3
Jlenok [28]
So we have
h=hits
m=miss
h+m=10

gain 5 for every hit and lose 3 for every miss
so 5 times number of hit=points from hit
-3 times number of miss=points deducted from miss
add
5h-3m=18
so we have the equations

h+m=10
5h-3m=18

multiply first equation by 3
3h+3m=30
add to first equatio

3h+3m=30
<u>5h-3m=18  +</u>
8h+0m=48


8h=48
divide by 8
h=6
subsitute
h+m=10
6+m=10
subtract 6
m=4


6 hits
4 miss
