Answer:

They need to sell 14 cakes to break even.

Step-by-step explanation:

The selling price of each cake = $ 4

The amount spent on the advertisement = $45

The cost of each cake  = 80 cents  =$ 0.8

Let us assume the number of cakes sold to BREAK EVEN  = m

⇒ For m cakes: TOTAL COST = TOTAL EARNED

Now, if the cost of 1 cake  = $0.8

So, the cost of making m cakes  = m X ( cost of 1 cake) = m x ( 0.8) = 0.8 m

Total Cost of m cakes  = Making cost + Advertisement cost

= 0.8 m + $45

⇒C = 0.8 m + 45  ........... (1)

Here, the selling price of 1 cake  = $4

So, the cost of selling m cakes  = m X ( Sell cost of 1 cake)

= m x ( 4) = 4 m

⇒S = 4 m  ........... (2)

To break even: S  = C  ⇒0.8 m + 45  =  4 m

or,  45 = 3.2 m

or, m = 45/3.2 =  14.06≈ 14

⇒ m  = 14

Hence, they need to sell 14 cakes to break even.

Find the solution of the problem (1 3. (2 cos x - y sin x)dx + (cos x + sin y)dy=0.
lakkis [162]

Answer:

2*sin(x)+y*cos(x)-cos(y)=C_1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

P(x,y)=2*cos(x)-y*sin(x)

Q(x,y)=cos(x)+sin(y)

This is an exact differential equation because:

\frac{\partial P(x,y)}{\partial y} =-sin(x)

\frac{\partial Q(x,y)}{\partial x}=-sin(x)

With this in mind let's define f(x,y) such that:

\frac{\partial f(x,y)}{\partial x}=P(x,y)

and

\frac{\partial f(x,y)}{\partial y}=Q(x,y)

So, the solution will be given by f(x,y)=C1, C1=arbitrary constant

Now, integrate \frac{\partial f(x,y)}{\partial x} with respect to x in order to find f(x,y)

f(x,y)=\int\  2*cos(x)-y*sin(x)\, dx =2*sin(x)+y*cos(x)+g(y)

where g(y) is an arbitrary function of y

Let's differentiate f(x,y) with respect to y in order to find g(y):

\frac{\partial f(x,y)}{\partial y}=\frac{\partial }{\partial y} (2*sin(x)+y*cos(x)+g(y))=cos(x)+\frac{dg(y)}{dy}

Now, let's replace the previous result into \frac{\partial f(x,y)}{\partial y}=Q(x,y) :

cos(x)+\frac{dg(y)}{dy}=cos(x)+sin(y)

Solving for \frac{dg(y)}{dy}

\frac{dg(y)}{dy}=sin(y)

Integrating both sides with respect to y:

g(y)=\int\ sin(y)  \, dy =-cos(y)

Replacing this result into f(x,y)

f(x,y)=2*sin(x)+y*cos(x)-cos(y)

Finally the solution is f(x,y)=C1 :

2*sin(x)+y*cos(x)-cos(y)=C_1
