Luden [163]

Answer:

-9/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The two points given are

(1,6) and (9,-3)

The slope is given by

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

= (-3-6)/(9-1)

= -9/8

Dan sold 40 concert tickets in 5 days.

olchik [2.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of tickets sold by Dan the first day is x.

Tickets sold on the 2nd day: x+3

on the 3rd day: x+6

on the 4th day: x+9

on the 5th: x+12

Since the total of tickets sold by Dan is 40:

x+(x+3)+(x+6)+(x+9)+(x+12)=40

5x+30=40

5x=10

x=2

number of tickets sold on the third day: 8

QUESTION 3 [10 MARKS] A bakery finds that the price they can sell cakes is given by the function p = 580 − 10x where x is the nu

Harman [31]

Answer:

(a)Revenue function, $R(x)=580x-x^2$

Marginal Revenue function, R'(x)=580-2x

(b)Fixed cost =900 .

Marginal Cost Function=300+50x

(c)Profit, $P(x)=-35x^2+280x-900$

(d)x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

Price Function $= 580 - 10x$

The revenue function

$R(x)=x\cdot (580-10x)\\R(x)=580x-x^2$

The marginal revenue function

$\dfrac{dR}{dx}= \dfrac{d}{dx}(R(x))=\dfrac{d}{dx}(580x-x^2)=580-2x\\R'(x)=580-2x$

Part B

(Fixed Cost)

The total cost function of the company is given by $c=(30+5x)^2$

We expand the expression

$(30+5x)^2=(30+5x)(30+5x)=900+300x+25x^2$

Therefore, the fixed cost is 900 .

Marginal Cost Function

If $c=900+300x+25x^2$

Marginal Cost Function, $\frac{dc}{dx}= (900+300x+25x^2)'=300+50x$

Part C

Profit Function

Profit=Revenue -Total cost

$580x-10x^2-(900+300x+25x^2)\\580x-10x^2-900-300x-25x^2\\$Profit,P(x)=-35x^2+280x-900$

Part D

To maximize profit, we find the derivative of the profit function, equate it to zero and solve for x.

$P(x)=-35x^2+280x-900\\P'(x)=-70x+280\\-70x+280=0\\-70x=-280\\$Divide both sides by -70\\x=4$

The number of cakes that maximizes profit is 4.
