Here is our profit as a function of # of posters
p(x) =-10x² + 200x - 250
Here is our price per poster, as a function of the # of posters:
pr(x) = 20 - x
Since we want to find the optimum price and # of posters, let's plug our price function into our profit function, to find the optimum x, and then use that to find the optimum price:
p(x) = -10 (20-x)² + 200 (20 - x) - 250
p(x) = -10 (400 -40x + x²) + 4000 - 200x - 250
Take a look at our profit function. It is a normal trinomial square, with a negative sign on the squared term. This means the curve is a downward facing parabola, so our profit maximum will be the top of the curve.
By taking the derivative, we can find where p'(x) = 0 (where the slope of p(x) equals 0), to see where the top of profit function is.
p(x) = -4000 +400x -10x² + 4000 -200x -250
p'(x) = 400 - 20x -200
0 = 200 - 20x
20x = 200
x = 10
p'(x) = 0 at x=10. This is the peak of our profit function. To find the price per poster, plug x=10 into our price function:
price = 20 - x
price = 10
Now plug x=10 into our original profit function in order to find our maximum profit:
<span>p(x)= -10x^2 +200x -250
p(x) = -10 (10)</span>² +200 (10) - 250
<span>p(x) = -1000 + 2000 - 250
p(x) = 750
Correct answer is C)</span>
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute the negative which would get your 3x + 6 -3x + 6. The 3x would cancel out and you would add 6+6 = 12
Answer:
249.4
Bc if you do 89,790 divided by 365 your answer should be 249.4 and some more numbers
Note: I just noticed that you only have one negative sign. If you mean to put -9, change the sign to positive. If not, leave the answer.
Note the equal sign. what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the x. First, multiply 3 to both sides
-x/3(3) = 9(3)
-x = 9(3)
-x = 27
Next, to isolate the x, divide -1 from both sides
-x/-1 = 27/-1
x = 27/-1
x = -27
-27 is your answer for x.
hope this helps
