Answer:

The equation in point - slope form of a line that passes through the points (3,-5) and (-8,4) is: y-(-5) = -(9/11) (x-3) or y+5 = -(9/11) (x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

P1=(3,-5)=(x1,y1)→x1=3, y1=-5

P2=(-8,4)=(x2,y2)→x2=-8, y2=4

Equation in Point-Slope Form: y-y1=m(x-x1)

Slope: m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Replacing the known values:

m=[4-(-5)] / (-8-3)

m=(4+5) / (-11)

m=(9) / (-11)

m=-(9/11)

Equation in the point - slope form:

y-(-5) = -(9/11) (x-3)

y+5 = -(9/11) (x-3)

aliina [53]

Answer: 475 adults paid admission

Step-by-step explanation:

1.50c+4a=5050 (1.50 per child and 4 per adult)

1.50(2100)+4c=5050 (2100 children times 1.5 each)

3130+4a=5050

4a=1900

a=475

Find the length of OC.

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

About 8

Step-by-step explanation:

I found this by doing 16 divided by 2 since half of 16 is 8and AC and OC are congruent so I think it is 8.

The average length of a ladybug can range from 0.08 to 0.4 inches.

So two lengths within the given span are 0.1 inch and 0.3 inches.

$In \: fraction: \\ \\ 0.1 \: inch = \frac{1}{10} \: inch \\ \\ 0.3 \: inch = \frac{3}{10} \: inch$

A bakery works out a demand function for its chocolate chip cookies and finds it to be q = D (x) = 943 - 17 x, where q is the q

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

See expla below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the demand function:

q = D (x) = 943 - 17 x

a) Find the elasticity:

Find the derivative of the demand function.

D'(x)= -17

Thus, elasticity expression is:

$\frac{x D'(x)}{D'(x)}$

$= \frac{x (-17)}{943 - 17x}$

$= \frac{17x}{943 - 17x}$

Elasticity expression = $E(x) = \frac{17x}{943 - 17x}$

b) At what price is the elasticity of demand equal to 1?

This means E(x) = 1

Substitute 1 for E(x) in the elasticity equation:

$E(x) = \frac{17x}{943 - 17x}$

$1 = \frac{17x}{943 - 17x}$

Cross multiply:

$943 - 17x = 17x$

Collect like terms

$17x + 17x = 943$

$34x = 943$

$x = \frac{943}{34}$

x = 27.74

Elasticity at the price of demand = 1 is 27.74

c) At what prices is the elasticity of demand elastic?

This means E(x) > 1

Therefore,

$\frac{17x}{943 - 17x} > 1$

Cross multiply:

$17x > 943 - 17x$

Collect like terms

$17x + 17x > 943$

$34x > 943$

$x > \frac{943}{34}$

x > 27.74

The elasticity of demand is elastic at x > 27.74

d) At what prices is the elasticity of demand inelastic?

This means E(x) < 1

Therefore,

$\frac{17x}{943 - 17x} < 1$

Cross multiply:

$17x < 943 - 17x$

Collect like terms

$17x + 17x < 943$

$34x < 943$

$x < \frac{943}{34}$

x < 27.74

The elasticity of demand is inelastic at x < 27.74

e) At what price is the revenue a maximum:

Total revenue will be:

R(x) = x D(x)

= x (943 - 17x)

= 943x - 17x²

R(x) = 934 - 17x(price that maximizes total revenue)

Take R(x) = 0

Thus,

0 = 943 - 17x

17x = 943x

$x = \frac{943}{17}$

$x = 27.74$

Total revenue is maximun at x= 27.74 per cookie

f) At x = 21 per cookie, find the price:

Thus,

R (21) = (943 * 21) - (17 * 21²)

= 19803 - 7497

= 12306

At x = 27.74, find the price:

R(27.74) = (943 * 27.74) - (17 - 27.74²)

= 26158.82 - 13081.63

= 13077.19

We can see the new price of cookie causes the total revenue to decrease.

Therefore, with a small increase in price the total revenue will decrease.
