If the demand equation (in dollars) for a certain commodity is p = 55/ln x, where x represents the number of units of the commod

ity, determine the marginal revenue function for this commodity, and compute the marginal revenue when x = 20. What is the marginal revenue function for this commodity? R' (x) = (Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the expression.) What is the marginal revenue when x = 20? R' (20) = (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)

Answer:

The marginal revenue is

\dfrac{dR}{dx}=\dfrac{55ln(x)-55}{ln(x)^2}

For x=20, the marginal revenue is R'=12.

Step-by-step explanation:

The marginal revenue is defined as the additional revenue that yields an additional unit sale of the good.

Mathematically, is equivalent to the first derivative of the revenue function. In this case, we are not considering the additional cost, so we use the demand function.

The revenue then becomes

R=p\cdot q=\dfrac{55x}{ln(x)}

We can calculate this first derivative as:

\dfrac{dR}{dx}=\dfrac{d}{dx}[55x/ln(x)] \\\\\\ u=55x\\\\v=ln(x)\\\\ (u/v)'=(u'v-uv')/v^2=(55ln(x)-55x/x)/ln(x)^2 \\\\(u/v)'=(55ln(x)-55)/ln(x)^2 \\\\\\\dfrac{dR}{dx}=\dfrac{55ln(x)-55}{ln(x)^2}

The marginal revenue for x=20 is:

\dfrac{dR}{dx}(20)=\dfrac{55ln(20)-55}{ln(20)^2}\\\\\\ \dfrac{dR}{dx}(20)=\dfrac{55(3)-55}{3^2}=\dfrac{110}{9}= 12.22\approx 12

If f (x) = 2 x + 5 and three-halves are inverse functions of each other and f (x) = 2x + 5, what is
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question has conflicting details

f(x) = 2x + 5

f(x) = 2x + 5 and three halves doesn't sound correct.

So, I will take f(x) as

f(x) = 2x + 5

Next, solve for the inverse function

Replace f(x) with y

y = 2x + 5

Swap x and y

x = 2y + 5

Make 2y the subject

2y = x-5

Make y the subject

y = \frac{x-5}{2}

Replace y with the inverse sign

f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x-5}{2}

So, now we can calculate any value from the original function and from the inverse function.

For instance:

f^{-1}(7) = \frac{7-5}{2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1

f(1) = 2*1 + 5 = 2+5=7

\huge\text{Hey there!}

\large\text{When you hear/see the word of  in mathematics, it usually means }\\\large\text{\bf multiplication. }

\large\text{So, when you  think of think of the word \underline{of} think of its asking you to}\\\large\text{\bf multiply }

\large\text{Now that we got that run down out of the way lets answer your given}\\\large\text{question}

\large\textsf{0.25\% of 2,000}

\large\textsf{= 0.25\%} \times \large\textsf{2,000}

\large\textsf{0.25\%} = \mathsf{\bf \dfrac{25}{100}}

\mathsf{= \dfrac{25}{100} \times 2,000}

\mathsf{\dfrac{25}{100}= \bf 0.0025}
