The Audubon Society at Enormous State University (ESU) is planning its annual fund raising "Eat-a-thon." The society will charge

students 87 per serving of pasta. The only expenses the society will incur are the cost of the pasta, estimated at 17€ per serving, and the $350 cost of renting the facility for the evening. (a) Write down the associated cost function C(x) in dollars. C(x) Write down the revenue function R(x) in dollars. R(X) Write down the profit function P(x) in dollars. P(x) (b) How many servings of pasta must the Audubon Society sell to break even? servings (c) What profit (or loss) results from the sale of 1,500 servings of pasta?

Answer:

a) Cost

C(x)=0.17x +350

Revenue

R(x)=0.87x

Profit

P(x)=0.7x-350

b) 500 servings

c) $ 700 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The total cost is the cost per serving plus the cost of renting the facility

Cost per serving = 0.17 per serving

Cost of renting = 350

and we write:

C(x)=0.17x +350

The total revenue is the what the University charges per serving, which is 87 cents per serving. And we write:

R(x)=0.87x

Profit is Revenue minus Cost, which is:

P(x)= R(x)-C(x)=0.87x-(0.17x +350)= 0.87x -0.17x -350= 0.7x - 350\\\\P(x)=0.7x-350

b) To break even Revenue equals Cost, we write

R(x)=C(x)\\0.87x=0.17x+350\\0.87x -0.17x=350\\0.7x=350\\x=\frac{350}{0.7} =500

<em><u>500 servings must the Audubon Society sell to break even.</u></em>

c) we plug 1,500 into the P(x) equation and we get:

P(x)=0.7x-350\\P(1,500)=0.7(1,500)-350\\P(1,500)=0.7(1,500)-350\\P(1,500)=1,050-350\\P(1,500)=700

<em><u>The sale of 1,500 servings of pasta results in a profit of $ 700 dollars.</u></em>

Alex

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

b) 1- scale factor from the first map to the second map:

\frac{8}{6}  = 1.33

   2- landmark on the first map is a triangle with side lengths of 3 mm, 4 mm, and 5 mm.

Side lengths of the landmark on the second map

Divide the length by scale factor:

side lengths of 3 mm:  \frac{3}{1.33} = 2.25 mm

side lengths of 4 mm:  \frac{4}{1.33} = 3.007 mm

side lengths of 5 mm:  \frac{5}{1.33} = 3.75 mm

45. For customers generating their own solar power, ZG&amp;E charges them $3 per month per kilowatt (kWh) for excess electricity
uranmaximum [27]

(A) The customer that owns a 3-kW system exports 120 kWh monthly to the grid will have the following bills for both companies:

For ZG&E that collects $3 per kWh on a monthly basis, the monthly bill will be

120kWh\times\frac{\$3}{1kWh}=\$360

For Ready Edison that collects $0.06 per kWh exported energy monthly, the computation of bill will be

\$20+(120kWh\times\frac{\$0.06}{1kWh})=\$27.2

(B) The customer that owns a 5-kW system exports 300 kWh monthly to the grid will have the following bills for both companies:

For ZG&E that collects $3 per kWh on a monthly basis, the monthly bill will be

300kWh\times\frac{\$3}{1kWh}=\$900

For Ready Edison that collects $0.06 per kWh exported energy monthly, the computation of bill will be

\$20+(300kWh\times\frac{\$0.06}{1kWh})=\$38

. Andrew made an error in determining the polynomial equation of smallest degree whose roots are 3, 2+2i
KIM [24]

Answer:

Error of Andrew: Made incorrect factors from the roots

Step-by-step explanation:

Roots of the polynomial are: 3, 2 + 2i, 2 - 2i. According to the factor theorem, if a is a root of the polynomial P(x), then (x - a) is  a factor of P(x). According to this definition:

(x - 3) , (x - (2 + 2i)) , (x - (2 - 2i)) are factors of the required polynomial.

Simplifying the brackets, we get:

(x - 3), (x - 2 - 2i), (x - 2 + 2i) are factors of the required polynomial.

This is the step where Andrew made the error. The factors will always be of the form (x - a) , not (x + a). Andrew wrote the complex factors in form of (x + a)  which resulted in the wrong answer.

So, the polynomial would be:

(x - 3)(x - 2 - 2i)(x - 2+2i)=0\\\\ (x-3)(x^{2}-2x+2xi-2x+4-4i-2xi+4i-4i^{2})=0\\\\ (x-3)(x^{2}-4x+4+4)=0\\\\ (x-3)(x^{2}-4x+8)=0\\\\ x^{3}-4x^{2}+8x-3x^{2}+12x-24=0\\\\ x^{3}-7x^{2}+20x-24=0
