Jimmy decides to mow lawns to earn money. The initial cost of his electric lawnmower is ​$350. Electricity and maintenance costs

are ​$4 per lawn. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (c).a. Formulate a function C(x) for the total cost of mowing x lawns. b. Jimmy determines that the total-profit function for the lawn mowing business is given by p(x) = 9x - 350. Find a function for the total revenue from mowing x lawns. How much does jimmy charge per lawn? c. How many lawns must jimmy mow before he begins making a profit?

Answer:

a) C(x) = 4x + 350

b) 13x; $13

c) 39

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Initial cost of lawnmower = $350

Maintenance cost for 1 lawn = $4

Maintenance cost for x lawns = 4x

Total cost function, C(x) = 4x + 350

b) Revenue = Cost + Profit

= C(x) + P(x)

= 4x + 350 + 9x - 350

= 13x

Charge per lawn = \frac{\text{Revenue}}{\text{Number of lawns}}

= \frac{13x}{13} = \$13

c) For Jimmy to make a profit, P(x) must be greater than zero i.e.

P(x) >0

9x-350 >0

9x >350

The smallest integer value of x that satisfies this inequality is 39. Therefore, Jimmy needs to mow 39 lawns in order to start making profit.

If X = 16 feet and Y = 8 feet, what is the area of the figure above ? Use 3.14 for pi .
Setler [38]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

You can probably figure out the rectangle of 16 by 8 so no explaining there. 16×8=128. You know that diameter of the cirkel is equal to y so 8. The diameter of a cirkel is two times its radius. so 8=2r. r=4. The area of a cirkel is calculated by the formula \pi×r^2. Fill in r=4 in \pi×r^2 gives us \pi×4^2=16\pi. You only have half of the cirkel so 16\pi/2=8\pi. 128+8\pi=153.12 which is A.

How can you tell that the data in the table is function or not?
stealth61 [152]

that is not a function, because there are two outputs for three. two inputs can have one output, but one input cant have two outputs.

What are the focus and directrix of the parabola with the equation y=1/16x^2
Vlada [557]
Y=1/16x^2
multiplying both sides by 16 we get:
16y=x^2
The general form of a parabola is:
(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)
thus
4p=16
p=4
The parabola opens upwrd:
Focus: (h,k-p)
(0,0-4)
=(0,-4)
Directrix: y=-4
