A manufacturer finds it costs him x + 5x + 7 dollars to produce x tons of an item. At 2 production levels above 3 tons, he must

hire additional workers, and his costs increase by 3(x - 3) dollars on his total production. If the price he receives is $13 per ton regardless of how much he manufactures and if he has a plant capacity of 10 tons, what level of output maximizes his profits?

Answer: The maximum = 3 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost function C(x) = x + 5x + 7

P(×) = 13x - x^2 - 5x -7

If x <3

P= x^2 +8x -7

Differentiating to get x

dp/dx = -2x + 8

X= 8/2

C=4

Maximum will be 3 tons

When x=3

P= 13x - x^2 -5x +7 -3x + 9

When x>3

dp/dx = x^2+5x +2

X = 5/2 = 2.5

Explanation and answer please :)

$20,000 is between $15,000 and $49,999, so we'll use the interest rate of 6.5% (see row 3)

r = 6.5% = 6.5/100 = 0.065

We'll use the decimal form of the interest rate as it is most common for financial math problems.

P = 20,000 is the amount deposited

t = 1 year is the amount of time

We will plug those values into the formula

i = P*r*t

to get the following:

i = P*r*t

i = 20000*0.065*1

i = 1300

So Mark earns $1,300 in simple interest each year.

Which of the following points are solutions to the system of inequalities shown below?
vlada-n [284]
The following solutions to the given system of inequalities shown above would be option c : (-3, -5) option d : (0, 4)  option e. (4, 4)  and option f. <span>(2, -1) 
So how did I know the answer. To check this, you just have to substitute the values.
For example let us take option c (-3, -5)
y </span><span><  3x + 5
-5 </span><span><  3(-3) + 5
-5 </span><span><  -9 + 5
-5 </span><span><  -4 <<You see that -4 is greater than -5 which makes this inequality correct. This is the same process as with the other correct options.
Hope that this answer helps.</span>
