An economist for a sporting goods company estimates the revenue and cost functions for the production of a new snowboard. These

functions are R (x) = -x^2+10x and C (x) = 4x+5, respectively, where x is the number of snowboards produced, in thousands. The average profit is defined by the function AP(x) =P(x) / x, where P(x) is the profit function. Determine the production levels that make AP(x) > 0

Answer:

Between 1000 and 5000 snowboards will make the function AP(x) >0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x can only take possitive values, we have that AP(x) = P(x)/x > 0 if and only if P(x) > 0.

In order to find when P(x) > 0, we find the values from where it is 0 and then we use the Bolzano Theorem.

P(x) = R(x) - C(x) = -x²+10x - (4x+5) = -x²+6x - 5. the roots of P can be found using the quadratic formula:

r_1,r_2 = \frac{-6 ^+_- \sqrt{6^2-4*(-1)*(-5)} }{2*(-1)} = \frac{-6^+_-\sqrt{16}}{-2} = \{1, 5\}

Therefore, P(1) = P(5) = 0. Lets find intermediate values to apply Bolzano Theorem:

  • P(0) = -5 < 0 ( P is negative in (-∞ , 1) )
  • P(2) = -4+6*2-5 = 3 > 0 (P is positive in (1,5) )
  • P(6) = -36+36-5 = -5 < 0 (P is negative in (5, +∞) )

The production levels that make AP(x) >0 are between 1000 and 5000 snowboards (because we take x by thousands)

What algebraic expression is a polynomial
nata0808 [166]

Answer:In mathematics, a polynomial is an expression consisting of variables (also called indeterminates) and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents of variables. An example of a polynomial of a single indeterminate, x, is x2 − 4x + 7.

if we increased one side of a square by 5 units and decreased the other by 3 units the area of the resulting rectangle would be
zvonat [6]

Answer:

18 units

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's list out the sides.

for the first square let's just call them x

for the second square then they would be x+5 and x-3

So let's write out their areas we will cal the area of the first one z

x*x = z

(x+5)*(x-3) = z+21

since z = x^2 we can set up the second equation as a quadratic.

(x+5)*(x-3) = x^2 + 21

x^2 - 3x + 5x - 15 = x^2 + 21

But look, the x^2s cancel out

2x - 15 = 21

2x = 36

x = 18

Test it out and see if it fits the description, And if you don't understand anything just let me know so I can explain more.

2.1 liters of coffee were equally distributed to 30 cups how many millimeters of coffee were in each cup
sattari [20]

Answer: 70 ml of coffee in each cup


Step-by-step explanation:

1 liter = 1000 ml

Amount of coffee given = <em>2.1 liters</em>

\Rightarrow <em>2.1 liters =  2.1 * 1000 = 2100 ml</em>

Total number of cups = 30

\therefore Amount of coffee in each cup = \frac{Total\ amount \ of \ coffee}{number\ of  \ cups} = \frac{2100}{30} =70

<em>∵ Amount of coffee in each cup </em>= <u>70 milliliters</u>
