The publisher of a recently released nonfiction book expects that over the first 20 months after its release, the monthly profit

can be approximated with the model P(t) 240t - 40t t2 +20 where P is in thousands of dollars and t is in months from the time of release. a. Derive a model that gives the marginal profit of the book. P'(t) Preview b. Specify the expected marginal profit 5 months after release. Round to 2 decimal places thousands of dollars per month c. Specify the expected marginal profit 11 months after release. Round to 2 decimal places. thousands of dollars per month d. After which month is the monthly profit start to decrease steadily?

Answer:

(a)\frac{dP}{dt}=\frac{4800-1600t-240t^2}{(t^2+20)^2}

(b)P'(5)=-($4.54) Thousand

(c)P'(11)=-($2.10) Thousand

(d)The fifth Month

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the monthly profit model:

P(t)=\frac{240t-40t^2}{t^2+20}

(a)We want to derive a model that gives the Marginal Profit, P' of the book.

We differentiate

P(t)=\frac{240t-40t^2}{t^2+20} using quotient rule.

\frac{dP}{dt}=\frac{(t^2+20)(240-80t)-(240t-40t^2)(2t)}{(t^2+20)^2}

Simplifying

\frac{dP}{dt}=\frac{4800-1600t-240t^2}{(t^2+20)^2}

We have derived a model for the marginal profit.

(b) After 5 months, at t=5

Marginal Profit=P'(5)

\frac{dP}{dt}=\frac{4800-1600t-240t^2}{(t^2+20)^2}

P^{'}(5)=\frac{4800-1600(5)-240(5)^2}{(5^2+20)^2}

=-($4.54) Thousand of dollars

(c)Marginal Profit 11 Months after book release

P^{'}(11)=\frac{4800-1600(11)-240(11)^2}{(11^2+20)^2}

=-($2.10) Thousand of dollars

(d) Since the marginal profit at t=5 is negative, after the 5th Month, the profit starts to experience a steady decrease.

A line passes through the given points. Write an equation for the line in point-slope form. Then rewrite the equation in slope-i
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

The answer to your question is  a)      y - 2 = -5(x - 3)  

                                                      b)     y = -5x + 17  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

A (1, 12)

B (3, 2)

Process

1.- Find the slope

Formula

m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

Substitution

m = \frac{2 - 12}{3 - 1} = \frac{-10}{2} = - 5

2.- Find the equation in point slope form

Equation

                             y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Substitution and equation

                           y - 2 = -5(x - 3)

3.- Find the slope-intercept form

Expand the point slope form

                           y - 2 = -5x + 15

Simplify

                           y = -5x + 15 + 2

Equation

                          y = -5x + 17
