If the 5 of them weigh 1/4 of a ton
then 1 of them weigh x

5/1 = 1/4//x Do you see what happens? Just by writing down the givens you get a proportion. It will work better for you if you change the 1/4 to 0.25

5/1 = 0.25/x Now it looks like an ordinary proportion. Cross multiply
5x = 0.25*1 divide by 5
x = 0.25/5
x = 0.05 tons. We better change this to pounds.

1 ton = 2000 pounds
0.05 ton = x

1/0.05 = 2000/x Cross multiply
x = 2000 * 0.05
x = 100 pounds.

Suppose the Sunglasses Hut Company has a profit function given by P(q)=−0.02q2+4q−20P(q)=-0.02q2+4q-20, where qq is the number o
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

(A) 100 (in thousands)

(B) 180 (in thousand dollars)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

profit function as P(q) = -0.02q² + 4q - 20

where,

q is the number of thousands of pairs of sunglasses sold and produced,

P(q) is the total profit in thousands of dollars

To find the point of maxima differentiating the above equation and equating it to zero

P'(q) = - (2)0.02q + 4 - 0 = 0

or

⇒ - 0.04q + 4 = 0

or

⇒ - 0.04q = - 4

or

⇒ q = 100

Hence,

(A) 100 pairs of sunglasses (in thousands) should be sold to maximize profits

(B) Substituting the value of q in the profit function to calculate the actual maximum profit

P(q) = -0.02(100)² + 4(100) - 20

or

P(q) = - 0.02(10000) + 400 - 20

or

P(q) = - 0.02(10000) + 400 - 20

or

P(q) = 180 (in thousands dollar)

Y- 6 = 3(x – 5)<br> What is the slope and the points on the line ?
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

slope = 3 and point on the line is (5, 6 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

y - 6 = 3(x - 5) ← is in point- slope form

with slope m = 3 and (a, b) =( 5, 6 ) ← point on the line
