Answer:

l=48, w=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the pool be w feet, then the length will be:

l = 2w + 8

The area of the pool is 960 square feet.

This means that:

w(2w + 8) = 960

Expand and rewrite in standard form to get:

2 {w}^{2}  + 8w - 960 = 0

{w}^{2}  + 4w  - 480 = 0

{w}^{2}  + 24w   - 20w- 480 = 0

{w}(w+ 24) - 20(w + 24) = 0

Factor to get:

(w+ 24)(w  - 20) = 0

w =  - 24 \: or \: w   =  20

We discard the negative value because magnitude is positive.

This means

l = 2 \times 20 + 8 = 48

1. From 1992 to 2007 the average home price increased by 8% per year. In 1992 Anita Bath
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Anita Bath's home was worth $ 593,195.62 in 2007.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that from 1992 to 2007 the average home price increased by 8% per year, and in 1992 Anita Bath bought a house for $ 187,000, to determine what was it worth in 2007 the following calculation must be performed:

2007 - 1992 = 15

187000 x 1.08 ^ 15 = X

187000 x 3.172 = X

593,195.62 = X

Therefore, Anita Bath's home was worth $ 593,195.62 in 2007.

Simplify: –3(x – 5) – 8(y + 2) + (–3)(6 – 4b)
Paha777 [63]
-3 (x - 5) - 8 (y + 2) + (-3) (6 - 4b)

First, simplify your brackets. / Your problem should look like: -3 (x - 5) - 8 (y + 2) + -3 (6 - 4b)
Second, simplify. / Your problem should look like: -3 (x - 5) - 8 (y + 2) - 3 (b - 4b)
Third, expand your problem. / Your problem should look like: -3x + 15 - 8y - 16 - 18 + 12b
Fourth, simplify. / Your problem should look like: -3x - 8y + 12b - 19

Answer: -3x - 8y + 12b - 19 (D)

A manufacturer has been selling 1000 flat-screen TVs a week at $500 each. A market survey indicates that for A manufacturer has
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

a) Demand function: q=6000-10\cdot p

b) The rebate should be of $200, so the sale price becomes $300 per unit.

c) The rebate should be of $150, so the sale price becomes $350 per unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) In this case, we have a known point of the demand function (1000 units sold at $500), and the slope of a linear function (increase by 100 units fora decrease in $10).

We can express the demand function (linear) as:

q=b+m\cdot p

To calculate the slope m, we use:

m=\Delta q/\Delta p=(+100)/(-10)=-10

To calculate b, we use the known point and the calculated slope:

q=b+m\cdot p\\\\b=q-m\cdot p=1000-(-10)\cdot (500)=1000+5000=6000

Then the demand function is:

q=6000-10\cdot p

b) The revenue can be expressed as:

R=q\cdot p = (6000-10p)\cdot p=6000p-10p^2

To maximize, we can derive and equal to zero

dR/dp=6000-2*10p=0\\\\20p=6000\\\\p=300

The rebate should be of $200, so the sale price becomes $300 per unit.

c) If we take into account the cost, we have that

R=q\cdot p-C=(6000p-10p^2)-(68000+100q)\\\\R=(6000p-10p^2)-(68000+100(6000-10p))\\\\R=6000p-10p^2-(68000+600000-1000p)\\\\R=-10p^2+7000p-668000

To maximize, we can derive and equal to zero

dR/dp=-20p+7000=0\\\\p=7000/20=350

The rebate should be of $150, so the sale price becomes $350 per unit.
