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.

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.

The root \sqrt{10} can be converted into the power 10^{ \frac{1}{2} }. Therefore we can rewrite the problem as (10^{ \frac{1}{2} } )^ {\frac{3}{4} x} and then follow the exponent rules about a power to a power, multiplying 1/2 and 3/4 together.

Thus the problem becomes 10^{\frac{3}{8}x}, which then can be turned into \sqrt[8]{10} ^{3x}, making the last option our answer.
