Answer:

The profit will be maximum on x = 250.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Revenue = 1500x - x²

Cost = 1500 + 1000x

As we know that

Profit = Revenue - Cost ; Let say it equation 1

Then after putting the values of revenue and cost in equation 1 we have:

Profit = (1500x - x²) - (1500 + 1000x)

Profit = 1500x - x² - 1500 - 1000x

Profit = -x² + 500x - 1500

We know that at the max or min the slope of the graph formed by the profit function will be zero, therefore we find the slope of profit function by taking the first derrivative w.r.t. x as under:

d(Profit)/dx = d/dx(-x² + 500x - 1500)

d(Profit)/dx = -2x + 500

By putting the above slope equal to zero we get:

d(Profit)/dx = -2x + 500 = 0

-2x + 500 = 0

-2x = -500

x = 250

Therefore it is concluded that the profit will be maximum when x will be equal to 250.

Answer:

  ∠CAB = 28°

  ∠DAC = 64°

Step-by-step explanation:

What you do in each case is make use of the relationships you know about angles in a triangle and around parallel lines. You can also use the relationships you know about diagonals in a rectangle, and the triangles they create.

<u>Left</u>

Take advantage of the fact that ∆AEB is isosceles, so the angles at A and B in that triangle are the same. If we call that angle measure x, then we have the sum of angles in that triangle is ...

  x + x + ∠AEB = 180°

  2x = 180° -124° = 56°

  x = 28°

The measure of angle CAB is 28°.

__

<u>Right</u>

Sides AD and BC are parallel, so diagonal AC can be considered a transversal. The two angles we're concerned with are alternate interior angles, so are congruent.

  ∠BCA = ∠DAC = 64°

The measure of angle DAC is 64°.

(Another way to look at this is that triangles BCE and DAE are congruent isosceles triangles, so corresponding angles are congruent.)

Solve three-halvesx – 4 = 16
Leto [7]
3/2x - 4 = 16

Add 4 to both sides.

3/2x = 20

Multiply by 2/3.

x = 13 1/3

The dimensions (width and length) of room1 have been read into two variables : width1 and length1 . The dimensions of room2 have
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Total area of the two rooms   =   (width1length1) +   (width2length2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangular shape is given by = Length * breadth

Therefore the area of the two rooms can be calculated using the above formula when the variables lengths and widths are given.

Area 1= Area of the first room = length * breadth=  (width1length1)

Area 2=Area of the second room = length * breadth=  (width2length2)

Total area of the two rooms = Area1 + Area 2

                                         =   (width1length1) +   (width2length2)

Write the first four terms of the sequence. rule start at 5 1/2, add 1 1/5
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

5\frac{1}{2},6\frac{7}{10},7\frac{9}{10},9\frac{1}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term of the sequence is

a_1=5\frac{1}{2}

To find the second term add 1\frac{1}{5} to the first term;

a_2=5\frac{1}{2}+1\frac{1}{5}=6\frac{7}{10}

To find the third term add 1\frac{1}{5} to the second term;

a_3=6\frac{7}{10}+1\frac{1}{5}=7\frac{9}{10}

To find the fourth term add 1\frac{1}{5} to the third term;

a_4=7\frac{9}{10}+1\frac{1}{5}=9\frac{1}{10}

The first four terms are

5\frac{1}{2},6\frac{7}{10},7\frac{9}{10},9\frac{1}{10}
