Answer:

a) Price demand function = D = -40P + 8000

b) Revenue function = R = -40P² + 8000P

c) Price P = 100 cents and Revenue R = 4×10⁵ cents

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given quantity and price of Hairy Mango T M juice

Let P represents price in cents and D represents demand

D₁ = 5400

D₂ = 6000

P₁ = 65

P₂ = 50

(a) Find a formula for the price/demand function based on the data.

The demand and price relationship can be modeled as a linear relationship,

D = aP + b

Substitute the given data points into above equation

5400 = 65a + b     eq. 1

6000 = 50a + b     eq. 2

Solving eq. 1 and eq, 2 simultaneously,

b = 6000 - 50a

5400 = 65a + (6000 - 50a)

5400 - 6000 = 65a - 50a

-600 = 15a

a = -600/15

a = -40

b = 6000 - 50a

b = 6000 - 50(-40)

b = 6000 + 2000

b = 8000

So the price demand function becomes,

D = aP + b

D = -40P + 8000

(b) Find a formula for the revenue function.

The revenue function is given by

R = D*P

R = (-40P + 8000)*P

R = -40P² + 8000P

(c) Find the price they should charge to generate the maximum revenue, then calculate the maximum revenue. (Round to the nearest cent)

Maximum revenue is obtained when

dR/dp = 0

dR/dp = -40P² + 8000P

dR/dp = -80P + 8000

0 = -80P + 8000

80P = 8000

P = 8000/80

P = 100 cents

The maximum revenue is

R = -40(100)² + 8000(100)

R = -400000 + 800000

R = 400000 cents

R = 4×10⁵ cents

Therefore, the maximum revenue is 4×10⁵ cents when the price is set to 100 cents.

Answer:

H. \sqrt{32} = 5.7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Because you multiply the length and the width to get the area, you just need to find the square root of the area.

When you look for the square root of 32, it is 5.6....

Round up and you get 5.7 inches which s the length of one side.

Therefore, H. is the correct answer.
