a) The total monthly cost is the sum of the fixed cost and the variable cost. If q represents the number of cones sold in a month, the monthly cost c(q) is given by
c(q) = 300 + 0.25q
b) If q cones are sold for $1.25 each, the revenue is given by
r(q) = 1.25q
c) Profit is the difference between revenue and cost.
p(q) = r(q) - c(q)
p(q) = 1.00q - 300 . . . . . . slope-intercept form
d) The equation in part (c) is already in slope-intercept form.
q - p = 300 . . . . . . . . . . . . standard form
The slope is the profit contribution from the sale of one cone ($1 per cone).
The intercept is the profit (loss) that results if no cones are sold.
e) With a suitable graphing program either form of the equation can be graphed simply by entering it into the program.
Slope-intercept form. Plot the intercept (-300) and draw a line with the appropriate slope (1).
Standard form. It is convenient to actually or virtually convert the equation to intercept form and draw a line through the points (0, -300) and (300, 0) where q is on the horizontal axis.
f) Of the three equations created, we presume the one of interest is the profit equation. Its domain is all non-negative values of q. Its range is all values of p that are -300 or more.
g) The x-intercept identified in part (e) is (300, 0). You need to sell 300 cones to break even.
h) Profit numbers are
425 cones: $125 profit
550 cones: $250 profit
700 cones: $400 profit
I think is complementary but i'm not sure
Answer:
181 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Rate of change in water level = - 1.5 feets per month
Water level at beginning of May = 187 feets above sea level
Water level at the end of 4 months =?
Total change after four months = rate of change per month * number of months
= - 1.5 * 4 = - 6 feets
Hence water level after 4 months :
187 feets + (-6 feets)
187 feets - 6 feets
= 181 feets
Answer: a = 3
Step-by-step explanation: since M is in between the two points you can look at the x and y coordinates respectively and find the difference between the the given points and then add it to the midpoint
