Before the pandemic cancelled sports, a baseball team played home games in a stadium that holds up to 50,000 spectators. When ti

cket prices were set at $12, the average attendance was 30,000. When the ticket prices were on sale for $10, the average attendance was 35,000.
(a) Let D(x) represent the number of people that will buy tickets when they are priced at x dollars per ticket. If D(x) is a linear function, use the information above to find a formula for D(x). Show your work!
(b) The revenue generated by selling tickets for a baseball game at x dollars per ticket is given by R(x) = x-D(x). Write down a formula for R(x).

Answer:

(a)D(x)=-2,500x+60,000

(b)R(x)=60,000x-2500x^2

(c) x=12

(d)Optimal ticket price: $12

Maximum Revenue:$360,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The stadium holds up to 50,000 spectators.

When ticket prices were set at $12, the average attendance was 30,000.

When the ticket prices were on sale for $10, the average attendance was 35,000.

(a)The number of people that will buy tickets when they are priced at x dollars per ticket = D(x)

Since D(x) is a linear function of the form y=mx+b, we first find the slope using the points (12,30000) and (10,35000).

\text{Slope, m}=\dfrac{30000-35000}{12-10}=-2500

Therefore, we have:

y=-2500x+b

At point (12,30000)

30000=-2500(12)+b\\b=30000+30000\\b=60000

Therefore:

D(x)=-2,500x+60,000

(b)Revenue

R(x)=x \cdot D(x) \implies R(x)=x(-2,500x+60,000)\\\\R(x)=60,000x-2500x^2

(c)To find the critical values for R(x), we take the derivative and solve by setting it equal to zero.

R(x)=60,000x-2500x^2\\R'(x)=60,000-5,000x\\60,000-5,000x=0\\60,000=5,000x\\x=12

The critical value of R(x) is x=12.

(d)If the possible range of ticket prices (in dollars) is given by the interval [1,24]

Using the closed interval method, we evaluate R(x) at x=1, 12 and 24.

R(x)=60,000x-2500x^2\\R(1)=60,000(1)-2500(1)^2=\$57,500\\R(12)=60,000(12)-2500(12)^2=\$360,000\\R(24)=60,000(24)-2500(24)^2=\$0

Therefore:

  • Optimal ticket price:$12
  • Maximum Revenue:$360,000

Answer:

26 = G. 27 = A. 28 = J

Step-by-step explanation:

26} A Nickle = 5 cents. A Dime = 10 Cents.

Way #1: 5+5+5+5+5+5 = 30

Way #2: 10 + 10 + 10 = 30

Way #3: 10 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 30

Way #4: 10+ 10+ 5 + 5 = 30

27} Pennies = 1 Cent. Nickels = 5 Cents. Dimes = 10 cents.

Way #1: 1+1+1+1+1+5+ 10 = 20

28} Pennies = 1 Cent. Nickels = 5 Cents. Dimes = 10 Cents.

Way #1: 10+5+1+1 = 17

Way #2: 5+5+5+11 = 17

Way #3: 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1 = 17

Way #4: 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+10 = 17

Way #5: 5+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1 = 17

x - 2y = 3 5x + 3y = 2 The lines whose equations are shown intersect at which point? (1, -1) (-1, 1) (0, 3/2)
gtnhenbr [62]
I would solve the first equation for x and then sub that value into x in the second equation.  That's the easiest way.  x - 2y = 3 solved for x is x = 2y+3.  Now sub that in for x in the second equation: 5(2y+3)+3y=2 and 10y + 15 + 3y = 2.  13y = -13, and y = -1.  Now sub that y value into either equation to solve for x: x = 2(-1) + 3 gives us an x value of x = 1.  Therefore, your solution to this system is (1, -1), first choice above.
