Mathematics

12-3(x-5)=21

Distribute
12-3x+15=21

Combine like terms
27-3x=21

Subtract 27 from both sides
-3x= -6

Divide both sides by -3
x=2

Final answer: x=2

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

(a) C(x)=500+20x-5x^{\frac{3}{4}}+0.01x^2

    p(x)=320-7.7p

    R(x)=(320-7.7p)p=320p-7.7p^2

(b) x=82 \text{planes}

(c) p=\$30.91 M\;\; \text{per plane}

(d) maximum profit =\$ 15.90M

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The company estimates that the initial cost of designing the aeroplane and setting up the factories in which to build it will be 500 million dollars.

The additional cost of manufacturing each plane can be modelled by the function.

m(x)=20x-5x^{\frac{3}{4}}+0.01x^2

(a)  Find the cost, demand (or price), and revenue functions.

   C(x)=500+20x-5x^{\frac{3}{4}}+0.01x^2

   p(x)=320-7.7p

   R(x)=(320-7.7p)p=320p-7.7p^2

(b)  Find the production level that maximizes profit.

    f=R(x)-C(x)

 \Rightarrow f=320p-7.7p^2-(500+20x-5x^{\frac{3}{4}}+0.01x^2)

\Rightarrow df=320dp-15.4pdp-20dx+5(\frac{3}{4} )x^{\frac{-1}{4} }dx-0.02xdx

     x=320-7.7p

     p=\frac{320-x}{7.7}

    \frac{dp}{dx} = \frac{-1}{7.7}

\frac{df}{dx}=\frac{320}{-7.7} -\frac{15.4(320-x) }{7.7(\frac{-1}{7.7} )}-20+5\frac{3}{4} x^{\frac{-1}{4}} -0.02x=0

    \Rightarrow -41.5584+83.1169-0.2597x-20+3.75x^{\frac{-1}{4} }-0.02x=0

   \Rightarrow 21.5585+3.75x^{\frac{-1}{4} }-0.279x=0

   \Rightarrow x=82 \text{planes}

(c)  Find the associated selling price of the aircraft that maximizes profit.

  p=\frac{320-82}{7.7}

\Rightarrow p=\$30.91 M\;\; \text{per plane}

(d)  Find the maximum profit.

Manufacturing cost of one plane is:

m(1)=20-5+0.01

         =\$15.01 M

maximum profit =\$(30.91-15.01)M

                           =\$15.90M

Show that the following statement is an identity by transforming the left side into the right side. sin θ (sec θ + csc θ) = tan
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Required to prove that:

Sin θ(Sec θ + Cosec θ)= tan θ+1

Steps:

Recall sec θ= 1/cos θ and cosec θ=1/sin θ

Substitution into the Left Hand Side gives:

Sin θ(Sec θ + Cosec θ)

= Sin θ(1/cos θ  + 1/sinθ )

Expanding the Brackets

=sinθ/cos θ + sinθ/sinθ

=tanθ+1 which is the Right Hand Side as required.

Note that from trigonometry sinθ/cosθ = tan θ
