Answer:

Revenue , Cost and Profit Function

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given the Price/Demand Function as

P(x) = 253-2x

which means when the demand of Cat food is x units , the price will be fixed as 253-2x per unit.

Now let us revenue generated from this demand i.e. x units

Revenue = Demand * Price per unit

R(x) = x * (253-2x)

      = 253x-2x^2

Now let us Evaluate the Cost Function

Cost = Variable cost + Fixed Cost

Variable cost = cost per unit * number of units

                      = 3*x

                      = 3x

Fixed Cost = 6972 as given in the problem.

Hence

Cost Function C(x) = 3x+6972

Let us now find the Profit Function

Profit = Revenue - Cost

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

      = 253x-2x^2 - (3x+6972)\\253x-2x^2-3x-6972\\253x-3x-2x^2-6972\\250x-2x^2-6972\\-2x^2+250x-6972\\

Now we have to find the quantity at which we attain break even point.

We know that at break even point

Profit = 0

Hence P(x) = 0

-2x^2+250x-6972=0

now we have to solve the above equation for x

-2x^2+250x-6972 = 0

Dividing both sides by -2 we get

x^2-125x+3486 = 0\\

Now we have to find the factors of 3486 whose sum is 125. Which comes out to be 42 and 83

Hence we now solve the above quadratic equation using splitting the middle term method .

x^2-42x-83x+3486 = 0\\x(x-42)-83(x-43)=0\\(x-42)(x-83)=0\\

Hence

Either (x-42) = 0 or (x-83) = 0 therefore

if x-42= 0 ; x=42

if x-83=0 ; x=83

Smallest of which is 42. Hence the number of units at which it attains the break even point is 42.

Gelneren [198K]
20 total

6 have average of 5 years
6 x 5 = 30

20-6 = 14

14 have average of 8 years

14 x 8 = 112

112 + 30 = 142

142 / 20 = 7.1 years

Answer choices 6 cubic units8 cubic units 10.6 cubic units 18 cubic units
antiseptic1488 [7]

Given,

Cylinder A has a volume of 6 cubic units

and height =3 units

The radius of cylinder A,

\begin{gathered} r=\sqrt[]{\frac{V}{\pi h}} \\ =\sqrt[]{\frac{6}{3\pi}} \\ =0.8 \end{gathered}

To find the volume of a cylinder B

\begin{gathered} V=\pi r^2h \\ =(3.14)\times(0.8)^2\times(3) \\ =6.03 \end{gathered}

Thus the volume of cylinder B is 6.03

Kevin drove for 4 hours and then stopped to eat dinner. The total distance he had driven at different time intervals is shown on
natta225 [31]

Answer:

If you want a simple average, you can add all the speeds you see and divide them by the number of how many they are.  

So firstly you have to calculate the speed of the first point, which is:  

20 miles/0.5 hour

That means: 40 miles/hour

That would be your first "speed"

Then you calculate all of them :speed1+speed2+speed3 = something.  

As an example: 20miles/hr + 40miles/hr+0miles/hr = 60miles/hr

Then, you divide it by how many "speeds" they are: 60miles/hr divided by 3 if I continue my previous example.

It is my first answer, and I hope I could help you a bit!

Sorry for the awkward English, as it is not my mother tongue.

Four servings of yogurt have 12 grams of protein. What is the number of grams of protein per serving?
tester [92]
If there are 12 grams of protein in all, and 4 servings, in order to get the amount of grams per serving you must divide 12 by 4.

12 divided by 4 = 4.

Therefore, there are 4 grams per serving.
