It was marked down 1/4 of the original price to $128. That means $128 is equal to 3/4 of the original price. So the original price would be 4/3 of $128. I get $170.67 (rounded to the nearest cent).

An aircraft manufacturer wants to determine the best selling price for a new airplane. The company estimates that the initial co

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

$(a)$ $C(x)=500+20x-5x^{\frac{3}{4}}+0.01x^2$

$p(x)=320-7.7p$

$R(x)=(320-7.7p)p=320p-7.7p^2$

$(b)$ $x=82 \text{planes}$

$(c)$ $p=\$30.91 M\;\; \text{per plane}$

$(d)$ maximum profit $=\$ 15.90M$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The company estimates that the initial cost of designing the aeroplane and setting up the factories in which to build it will be 500 million dollars.

The additional cost of manufacturing each plane can be modelled by the function.

$m(x)=20x-5x^{\frac{3}{4}}+0.01x^2$

$(a)$ Find the cost, demand (or price), and revenue functions.

$C(x)=500+20x-5x^{\frac{3}{4}}+0.01x^2$

$p(x)=320-7.7p$

$R(x)=(320-7.7p)p=320p-7.7p^2$

$(b)$ Find the production level that maximizes profit.

$f=R(x)-C(x)$

$\Rightarrow f=320p-7.7p^2-(500+20x-5x^{\frac{3}{4}}+0.01x^2)$

$\Rightarrow df=320dp-15.4pdp-20dx+5(\frac{3}{4} )x^{\frac{-1}{4} }dx-0.02xdx$

$x=320-7.7p$

$p=\frac{320-x}{7.7}$

$\frac{dp}{dx} = \frac{-1}{7.7}$

$\frac{df}{dx}=\frac{320}{-7.7} -\frac{15.4(320-x) }{7.7(\frac{-1}{7.7} )}-20+5\frac{3}{4} x^{\frac{-1}{4}} -0.02x=0$

$\Rightarrow -41.5584+83.1169-0.2597x-20+3.75x^{\frac{-1}{4} }-0.02x=0$

$\Rightarrow 21.5585+3.75x^{\frac{-1}{4} }-0.279x=0$

$\Rightarrow x=82 \text{planes}$

$(c)$ Find the associated selling price of the aircraft that maximizes profit.

$p=\frac{320-82}{7.7}$

$\Rightarrow p=\$30.91 M\;\; \text{per plane}$

$(d)$ Find the maximum profit.

Manufacturing cost of one plane is:

$m(1)=20-5+0.01$

$=\$15.01 M$

maximum profit $=\$(30.91-15.01)M$

$=\$15.90M$

Everbank Field, home of the Jacksonville Jaguars, is capable of seating 76,867 fans. The revenue for a particular game can be mo

k0ka [10]

The total revenue for the event would the total amount earned from the tickets sold. So if x people attended the event, then there would be $(161x). We must keep in mind though the the maximum seating is 76 876. That means that the maximum revenue that can be earned must not exceed $(161)(76 867) = . Hence we have f(x) = 161x where 0 ≤ x ≤ 76867. From this, we can see that the domain is [0, 76867] while range is [0, 12375587]<span>.</span>
