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.

solmaris [256]
10% of the 50  were red.

10% * 50

(10/100) * 50

(1/10) * 50

= 5

5 were red.

Is this an inequality or equation?
romanna [79]

Answer:

Equation

Step-by-step explanation:

A statement that the values of two mathematical expressions are equal (indicated by the sign =).

^^ This is the definition of equation

Difference in size, degree, circumstances, etc.; lack of equality.

^^ This is the definition for Inequality

The question moves more toward equation than inequality.
