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.

Can someone help me with this pls?
madam [21]
Please bare with me bc I’m bad at wording things, change it as you please!

It’s a minimum. I know that the function is a minimum because whenever there is a - in the beginning of the equation it flips your parabola over the x axis and my parabola becomes concave down. When my parabola is concave up I have a minimum, vise versa is a maximum. Because there isn’t a -, my parabola is concave up meaning the function has a minimum

The sum of three consecutive even integers is 126. Let x represent the first integer, x + 2 represent the second integer, and x
LekaFEV [45]
We have that (x) + (x+2) + (x+4) = 126 so 3x + 6 = 126 can be used to find the first integer.

3x + 6 = 126
3x = 120
x = 40

The numbers are 40, 42, 44

What is the absolute value of –6? Use the number line to help answer the question. A number line going from negative 7 to positi
drek231 [11]
<h3>Answer:  6</h3>

Mark the locations -6 and 0 on the number line. Note that going from -6 to 0, or vice versa, will take exactly 6 steps. Put another way, the distance between 0 and -6 is 6 units. Absolute value represents distance, so it is never negative.

We say |-6| = 6

Effectively, all we're doing is removing the negative sign.
