Answer:

The remaining number of miles to trail will be 3\frac{3}{4} miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

A group of scouts cleared tree branches from 2\frac{5}{6} i.e. \frac{17}{6} miles of trail the first day. On the second day, they cleared 3\frac{1}{4} i.e. \frac{13}{4} miles of trail.

Therefore, in two days they have cleared (\frac{17}{6} + \frac{13}{4}) = \frac{17 \times 2 + 13 \times 3}{12}  = 5 miles.

If the length of the trail is 8\frac{3}{4} i.e. \frac{35}{4} miles, then the remaining number of miles to trail will be \frac{35}{4} - 5 = \frac{15}{4} = 3\frac{3}{4} miles. (Answer)

The price p in dollars and the quantity x sold of a certain product obey the demand equation -1/5x+100 (0≤ x ≤ 500)
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>We have:</u>

  • p = -1/5x + 100 = -0.2x + 100

a) <u>The revenue is:</u>

  • R = px
  • R = x( -0.2x + 100)
  • R= -0.2x² + 100x

b) <u>x = 200, find R:</u>

  • R = -0.2(200²) + 100(200) = 12000

c) <u>This is a quadratic function and the maximum value is obtained at vertex.</u>

  • x = -100/(-0.2*2) = 250 is the required quantity

d) <u>The max revenue is obtained when -0.2x + 100 at max:</u>

  • The maximum possible is p = 100 when x = 0
