A model for a​ company's revenue from selling a software package is ​R(p)equals=−2.52^2400​p, where p is the price in dollars of
dsp73

A model for a​ company's revenue from selling a software package is ​R(p)=-2.5p² + 400​p, where p is the price in dollars of the software. What price will maximize​ revenue? Find the maximum revenue.

Answer: p = $80,  R = $16,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum is the y-value of the Vertex.

Step 1: Use the Axis-Of-Symmetry (AOS) formula to find x:

x=\frac{-b}{2a}

R(p) = -2.5p² + 400

     a= -2.5  b=400

p=\frac{-(400)}{2(-2.5)}

         = \frac{-400}{-5}

        =80

∴ In order to maximize the value, the company will sell the software package for $80

Step 2: Find the maximum by plugging the p-value (above) into the given equation.

R(80) = -2.5(80)² + 400(80)

         = -16,000 + 32,000

         = 16,000

The mixture of sperm and fluids from the seminal vesicles is called
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Semen

Explanation:

Sperm is the male reproductive gamete produced by the testes. During copulation or sexual intercourse, the produced sperm moves along a tube called VAS DEFERENS or sperm duct. The sperm mixes up with fluid called SEMINAL FLUID produced in the accessory glands comprising of seminal vesicles, prostrate gland and the bulbourethral glands to form the SEMEN, which is ejected from the urethra (a tube that runs from the bladder to the penis) during ejaculation.

The seminal fluid that mixes up with the sperm serves to lubricate it for easy locomotion within the female reproductive parts and also provide nourishment for the sperm.

Mitosis and meiosis are similar processes, but they have some very important differences. Explain how mitosis and meiosis are al
solmaris [256]
Similarities: Mitosis and meiosis both involve cell replication. They both involve prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Differences: Meiosis creates gametes while mitosis creates somatic cells. Mitosis creates two daughter cells, while meiosis creates four sperm cells in men and one egg cell and three polar bodies in women. Mitosis involves one round of cell division, while meiosis involves two. Mitosis creates cells that have the same number of chromosomes as the original cell, while meiosis creates cells that have half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.
Hope that helped you. 
P.S. There are more similarities and differences, challenge yourself and see if you can find them! Good luck.
