Answer: 100 rides are needed to break even.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given the cost function

C(x)=15x+2000 where x is the number of rides.

And rides cost 35$

⇒ revenue function would be 35 times x

i.e.R(x)=35 x , where x is the number of rides.

Break even point of a firm occurs when at a certain point x the total cost equals to the total revenue.

i.e. at break even point

total revenue=total cost

⇒35x=15x+2000

⇒35-15x=2000[subtract 15x from both sides]

⇒20x=2000 [simplify]

⇒x=2000/20[dividing both sides with 20]

⇒x=100

∴ 100 rides are needed to break even.

Find the value of the following expression: (2^8 ⋅ 5^−5 ⋅ 19^0)^−2 ⋅ 5 to the power of negative 2 over 2 to the power of 3, whol

koban [17]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\dfrac{5^2\cdot57}{2^{26}}=\dfrac{1425}{67108864}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left(2^8\cdot5^{-5}\cdot19^0\right)^{-2}\cdot\left(\dfrac{5^{-2}}{2^3}\right)^4\cdot228\\\\\text{use}\ a^{-n}=\dfrac{1}{a^n}\ \text{and}\ a^0=1\ \text{and}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\=\left(2^8\cdot\dfrac{1}{5^5}\cdot1\right)^{-2}\cdot\left(\dfrac{\frac{1}{5^2}}{2^3}\right)^4\cdot228=\left(\dfrac{2^8}{5^5}\right)^{-2}\cdot\left(\dfrac{1}{2^35^2}\right)^4\cdot228$

$=\dfrac{(2^8)^{-2}}{(5^5)^{-2}}\cdot\dfrac{1^4}{(2^3)^4(5^2)^4}\cdot228=\dfrac{2^{-16}}{5^{-10}}\cdot\dfrac{1}{2^{12}5^8}\cdot228\\\\\text{use}\ a^n=\dfrac{1}{a^{-n}}\to\dfrac{1}{a^n}=a^{-n}\\\\=2^{-16}\cdot5^{10}\cdot2^{-12}\cdot5^{-8}\cdot228\\\\\text{use}\ a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}\\\\=2^{-16+(-12)}\cdot5^{10+(-8)}\cdot228=2^{-28}\cdot5^2\cdot228\\\\=2^{-28}\cdot5^2\cdot4\cdot57=2^{-28}\cdot5^2\cdot2^2\cdot57=2^{-28+2}\cdot5^2\cdot57\\\\=2^{-26}\cdot5^2\cdot57=\dfrac{5^2\cdot57}{2^{26}}$

$\large\boxed{\dfrac{5^2\cdot57}{2^{26}}=\dfrac{1425}{67108864}}$
