A group of students bakes 100 cookies to sell at the school bake sale. The students want to ensure that the price of each cookie

offsets the cost of the ingredients. If all the cookies are sold for $0.10 each, the net result will be a loss of $4. If all the cookies are sold for $0.50 each. The students will make a $36 profit. First, write the linear function p(x) that represents the net profit from selling all the cookies, where x is the price of each cookie. Then, determine how much profit the students will make if they sell the cookies for $0.60 each. Explain. Tell how your answer is reasonable.

Answer:

46

Step-by-step explanation:

-Let b be the constant in the linear equation.

#The linear equation can be expressed as:

p(x)=100x+b

Substitute the values in the equation to find b:

p(x)=100x+b\\\\-4=100(0.1)+b\\\\b=-14\\\\\#or\\\\36=100(0.5)+b\\\\b=-14

We know have the constant value b=-14, substitute the values of b and x in the p(x) function:

p(x)=100x+b\\\\p(x)=100(0.6)-14\\\\p(x)=60-14\\\\p(x)=46

Hence, the profit when selling price is $0.60 is $46

#From our calculations, it's evident that the cookies production has a very high fixed cost which can only be offset by raisng the selling price or the number of units sold at any given time.

5. Given the equation y = (1/4) cos[(2pi/3)*theta]:
5a. For the general equation y = a cos(bx), the period is given by 2pi/b. In this equation, b = 2pi/3, so this means that 2pi/b = 2pi/(2pi/3) = 3. Therefore, the period of this equation is 3, and the cosine wave repeats itself every 3 x-units.
5b. For the general equation y = a cos(bx), the amplitude is given by a. Therefore the amplitude is a = 1/4, and this means that the cosine wave's range is from -1/4 to 1/4 for all values of x.
5c. The equation of the midline is y = 0. This represents the average value over the wave. This is determined by adding the highest and lowest values of the range and taking the average, in this case, 1/4 + (-1/4) = 0, and 0 / 2 = 0. Another way to do this is using the general equation y = a cos(bx) + c, where the midline's equation is y = c. In this case, there is no value of c in the given, implying that c = 0, and the midline is y = 0.

6. Let the horizontal distance be x. Then tan42 = h/x, and h = x tan42. Then using the Pythagorean theorem: 3280^2 = h^2 + x^2
3280^2 = x^2 (tan42)^2 + x^2
3280^2 = x^2 [(tan42)^2 + 1]
x = 2437.52
Therefore, h = x tan42 = 2,194.75 ft.
