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.

What is the fourth term of an arithmetic sequence whose first term is 23 and whose seventh term is 5?
mixas84 [53]

We have that  the fourth term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_4=14

Option C

From the question we are told

What is the fourth term of an arithmetic sequence whose first term is 23 and whose seventh term is 5?

A) 78

B) 32

C) 14

(Explain your work)

Generally the equation for the  arithmetic sequence  is mathematically given as

a_4=a_1+(n-1)d

Therefore

For seventh term

5=23+(6)d\\\\d=5-23/(6)\\\\d=-3

Therefore

For Fourth term

a_4=23+(3*(-3))

a_4=14

What is the distance between the points (4,-2) and )-5,3)?
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

10.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the given points be the endpoints of a right triangle.  The horizontal change in x is from 4 to -5 and is negative 9; the vertical change in y is from -2 to+ 3 and is +5.

The desired distance is found using the Pythagorean theorem:

d = √(9² + 5²) = √106, or 10.3 (to the nearest tength)

NEED HELP!!! :( Math!!!
IrinaVladis [17]
The "divisor" in synthetic division is most conveniently the value of the zero of the binomial term. Here, that is x=5. You also need to make sure you include all of the coefficients in the "dividend", putting zero where terms are missing.

The appropriate choice is A.
