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

Find the coordinates of the points of intersection of the graphs with coordinate axes: y=− 1/4 x+2
bearhunter [10]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Here, you can use a simple formula.

To find the point of intersection you just put x=0 or y=0.

Because, if a graph intersects x-axis, then at this point  y=0

Similarly, if a graph intersects y-axis, then at this point  x=0


So, for our given line.

y=-1/4 x +2

when , x=0 , y=-1/4 (0)+2=2

So, the graph intersects y-axis at   y=2


when , y=0 ,

then    0=-1/4 x+2

       or, 1/4 x=2

       or, x=8    [multiplying by  4]

So, the graph intersects x-axis at   x=8
