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

Using the graph, what does f(8) equal?<br> PLEASE I NEED SO MUCH HELP!!
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not terrifically worded. What it means is "What is the y value when x = 8" That's what f(8) conveys to you.

The answer (though zero is not marked and should be) is 1 unit above 0.

The answer is f(8) = 1 He's heading back.

What is -5/6 divided by 9/10?<br><br> A. -27/25<br><br> B. -4/3<br><br> C. -3/4<br><br> D. -25/27

-\frac{5}{6} ÷ \frac{9}{10}

First, apply the rule (easiest way if you have learned it): a ÷ \frac{b}{c} = a × \frac{c}{b}
- \frac{5}{6} × \frac{10}{9}
Second, apply the last rule: \frac{a}{b} × \frac{c}{d} =  \frac{ac}{bd}
- \frac{5*10}{6*9}
Third, multiply 5 × 10 to get 50.
- \frac{50}{6*9}
Fourth, multiply 6 × 9 to get 54. 
-\frac{50}{54}
Fifth, find the GCF of 50 and 54.
The GCF should be 2.
Sixth, divide the numerator by the GCF. 
50 ÷ 2 = 25
Seventh, divide the denominator by the GCF.
54 ÷ 2 = 27
Eighth, now put 25 and 27 together to get the simplified fraction.
- \frac{25}{27}

Answer as fraction: -\frac{25}{27}
Answer as decimal: 0.9259
