Answer:

Maximum value of total revenue = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Express this Demand Curve in terms of Q.

<em>P = 24 - 8Q (it is the same equation)</em>

<em />

  • Find P, if Q=2

<em>P= 24-8(2)</em>

<em>P=24-16</em>

<em>P=8</em>

  • Find Q if P = 8.

<em>P = 24 - 8Q</em>

<em>8= 24 - 8Q</em>

<em>8Q= 24-8</em>

<em>8Q=16</em>

<em>Q=16/8</em>

<em>Q=2</em>

  • Total revenue in terms of Q

<em>Total revenue is P times Q, that is</em>

<em>P*Q=TR=(24-8Q)*Q</em>

<em>TR=24Q-8Q^2</em>

<em>TR=24Q-8Q^{2} \\\\</em>

<em />

  • Marginal Revenue

<em>It is the first derivative of TR</em>

<em>TR'(Q)= 24-16Q</em>

  • Find the values of P and Q that will maximize total revenue.

<em>To find them first TR'(Q)=0, that is</em>

<em>0=24-16Q</em>

<em>16Q=24</em>

<em>Q=24/16</em>

<em>Q=3/2</em>

<em>Q=1.5</em>

<em>and we plug in 1.5 in P=24-8Q, which is,</em>

<em>P=24-8Q</em>

<em>P=24-8(1,5)</em>

<em>P=24-12</em>

<em>P=12</em>

  • Calculate this maximum value of total revenue

<em>P=12 Q=1.5</em>

<em>P*Q=Total Revenue</em>

<em>12*1.5=Total Revenue</em>

<em>18=Total Revenue</em>

One number is 7 times another number. The product of the two numbers is 252. Find the two numbers.
Nitella [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

x =7y ----(1)

xy=252 ----(2)

(1) into (2):

(7y)(y) = 252

7 {y}^{2}  = 252 \\ 7y =  \sqrt{252}

7y=15.874....

y=2.27

y value into (1)

x= 7(2.268)

x=15.87

the two numbers are 15.87 and 2.27 (Ans)
