Step-by-step explanation:
A) Demand function
price (x) demand (D(x))
4 540
3.50 810
D - 540 810 - 540
----------- = -----------------
x - 4 3.50 - 4
D - 540
----------- = - 540
x - 4
D - 540 = - 540(x - 4)
D = -540x + 2160 + 540
D = 2700 - 540x
D(x) = 2700 - 540x
Revenue function, R(x)
R(x) = price * demand = x * D(x)
R(x) = x* (2700 - 540x) = 2700x - 540x^2
b) Profit, P(x)
profit = revenue - cost
P(x) = R(x) - 30
P(x) = [2700x - 540x^2] - 30
P(x) = 2700x - 540x^2 - 30
Largest possible profit => vertex of the parabola
vertex of 2700x - 540x^2 - 30
When you calculate the vertex you find x = 5 /2
=> P(x) = 3345
Answer: you should charge a log-on fee of $2.5 to have the largest profit, which is $3345.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If two polygons are similar, then corresponding sides are in proportion.
The corresponding sides:
4 → x
y → 15
3 → w
2 → 6
z → 9
therefore:
<em>cross multiply</em>
<em>divide both sides by 6</em>
Answer:
x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
-2x + 8 = 18
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- Subtract 8 on both sides: -2x = 10
- Divide both sides by -2: x = -5
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
-2(-5) + 8 = 18
10 + 8 = 18
18 = 18
