The ticket office at Orchestra Center estimates that if it charges x dollars for box seats for a concert, it will sell 50 - x bo

x seats. The function S = 50x - x2 gives the estimated income from the sale of box seats. Graph the function, and use the graph to find the price for box seats that will give the greatest income.

Answer:  

Here, the given function,

S(x) = 50 x - x ^2 ----- (1)

For the maximum value of s(x),

s'(x) = 0

Where s'(x) is the first derivative of S(x)

By differetiating equation (1) with respect to x,

We get,

S'(x)= 50 - 2x

⇒ For maximum value of S(x), s'(x) = 0

⇒  50 - 2x = 0

⇒ 2x = 50

⇒ x = $ 25

To estimate the price of box seats for the ticket office to have the greatest income, we derive the equation and equate the derivative to zero. 
                                    S = 50x - x²
Deriving,
                                dS = 50 - 2x = 0
The value of zero from the generated equation is 25. Thus, the company should sell tickets at approximately $25.

When Cullen cleaned behind his dresser, he found 73 cents, all in nickels and pennies. There were 25 coins. How many were nickel
Georgia [21]
Let n = number of nickels, and p = number of pennies.
The number of coins is 25, so we get this equation.
n + p = 25

The value of the coins is 0.05 per nickel, and 0.01 per penny.
0.05n + 0.01p = 0.73

Now you have a system of equations.

n + p = 25
0.05n + 0.01p = 0.73

Solve the first equation for n:
n = 25 - p

Now substitute into the second equation.

0.05(25 - p) + 0.01p = 0.73

1.25 - 0.05p + 0.01p = 0.73

-0.04p = -0.52

p = 13

There were 13 pennies.
Now we substitute 13 for p in n + p = 25 to find out the number of nickels.

n + 13 = 25
n = 12

There are 13 pennies and 12 nickels.

Check: 13 pennies and 12 nickels does total 25 coins.
13 * 0.01 + 12 * 0.05 = 0.13 + 0.60 = 0.73
The value is $0.73.
Our answer is correct.

How do you put f(8)=-1,f(6)=0 into point slop form?​
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

y + 1 = -1/2(x - 8)

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

  1. Brackets
  2. Parenthesis
  3. Exponents
  4. Multiplication
  5. Division
  6. Addition
  7. Subtraction
  • Left to Right

<u>Algebra I</u>

Slope Formula: m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

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

  • x₁ - x coordinate
  • y₁ - y coordinate
  • m - slope

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

f(8) = -1 → Coordinate (8, -1)

f(6) = 0 → Coordinate (6, 0)

<u>Step 2: Find slope </u><em><u>m</u></em>

  1. Substitute [SF]:                    m=\frac{0+1}{6-8}
  2. Add/Subtract:                      m=\frac{1}{-2}
  3. Simplify:                               m=\frac{-1}{2}

<u>Step 3: Write Function</u>

<em>Substitute into general form.</em>

  • Point 1: y + 1 = -1/2(x - 8)
  • Point 2: y = -1/2(x - 6)

What’s the answer for this question
LenKa [72]

Answer:

12.56 yd^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by

V = pi r^2 h where r is the radius and h is the height

V = pi (2)^2 (1)

V = pi (4)

Let pi = 3.14

V = 3.14 (4)

V =12.56
