the school newspaper has a circulation of 500 and sells for $.035 a copy. the students decide to raise the price to increase the

Alik [6]

Let x be the number of times they raise the price on the newspaper. Then the new cost of the newspaper is

$.35+.05x$

Let y be the newspaper they sell, then the income will be

$y(.35+.05x)$

Now, we know that the circulation is of 500, assuming that they sold every newspaper at the original price now the number the will sell will be

$y=500-20x$

Plugging the value of y in the first expression we have that the income will be

$\begin{gathered} f(x)=(500-20x)(.35+\text{0}.5x)=175+25x-7x-x^2 \\ =-x^2+18x+175 \end{gathered}$

Then the income is given by the function

$f(x)=-x^2+18x+175$

To find the maximum value of this functions (thus the maximum income) we need to take the derivative of the function,

$\begin{gathered} \frac{df}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}(-x^2+18x+175) \\ =-2x+18 \end{gathered}$

no we equate the derivative to zero and solve for x.

$\begin{gathered} \frac{df}{dx}=0 \\ -2x+18=0 \\ -2x=-18 \\ x=\frac{-18}{-2} \\ x=9 \end{gathered}$

This means that we have an extreme value of the function when x=9. Now we need to find out if this value is a maximum or a minimum. To do this we need to take the second derivative of the function, then

$\begin{gathered} \frac{d^2f}{dx^2}=\frac{d}{dx}(\frac{df}{dx}) \\ =\frac{d}{dx}(-2x+18) \\ =-2 \end{gathered}$

Since the second derivative is negative in the point x=9, we conclude that this value is a maximum of the function.

With this we conclude that the number of times that they should raise the price to maximize the income is 9. This means that they will raise the price of the newspaper (9)($0.05)=$0.45.

Therefore the price to maximize the income is $0.35+$0.45=$0.80.

Given m || n, find the value of x and y.

Ann [662]

Answer:

x = 41 , y = 139

Step-by-step explanation:

x and 41° are alternate exterior angles and are congruent , so

x = 41

x and y are a linear pair and sum to 180° , that is

x + y = 180

41 + y = 180 ( subtract 41 from both sides )

y = 139

Avaluate 2^3x-1 for x=1

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

4 or 7 (Check the explanation to see which one your equation actually is.

Step-by-step explanation:

One thing I want to clarify for you, It's Evaluate, not Avaluate.

Okay so, we want to find the value of 2^3x-1 and we know x = 1.

You didn't really clarify if the expression was $2^{3x-1}$ or $2^{3x}-1$ , so I'll be doing both:

For $2^{3x-1}$ , we should plug in x to get $2^{3(1)-1}$ and then simplify to get $2^{2}$ .

2 to the power of 2 or $2^{2}$ is equal to 2 * 2 or 4.

The second one, $2^{3x}-1$ , we should plug in x to get $2^{3(1)}-1$ and then to become $2^{3}-1$ . 2 to the power of 3 or $2^{3}$ is 8 and then minus 1 is 7.
