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.

Answer:

The first transit on one side of the trench is 18 ft higher than the other side of the trench. The transit is set at 4.5 above ground, therefore the transit lens is 18' + 4.5' = 22.5' above the location on the other side of the trench. The angle of depression is the angle formed by the horizontal and the line of sight to the other side and it is given as 31°. This forms a right angle triangle with height of 22.5' and an interior angle of 31°, Then

tan( 31°) = Height / base, with the base representing the width of the trench

base = Height / tan(31°) = 22.5' / tan(31°) = 37.45' is the width of the trench

Help me please I dont know what to do
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

It's <u>option A. ± </u>√6<u>0</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2  = 60

here ^2 will move to the other side and when it does it'll become a square root to 60.

so, x = √60

now, the answer in its simplified form would be 2√15 and -2√15.

The answer of this square root will be negative as well as positive, so, ±√60.
