Answer:

The maximum revenue is $900, obtained with 30 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Naturally, the answer should be a number equal or higher than 20, because up to 20 persons, each one pays the same. Lets define a revenue function for x greater than or equal to 20.

f(x) = x*(40-(x-20)) = -x²+60x

Note that f multiplies the number of persons by how much would they pay (here, assuming that there are more than 20).

f is quadratic with negative main coefficient and its maximum value will be reached at the vertex.

The value of the x coordinate of the vertex is -b/2a = -60/-2 = 30

for x = 30, f(x) = 30*(40-(30-20))=30*30=900

So the maximum revenue is $900.

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer: \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:x\le \frac{17}{3}\:\\ \:\mathrm{Decimal:}&\:x\le \:5.66666\dots \\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:(-\infty \:,\:\frac{17}{3}]\end{bmatrix}

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-5\le \:-x+12

2x\le \:-x+17\\

2x+x\le \:-x+17+x

3x\le \:17

\frac{3x}{3}\le \frac{17}{3}

x\le \frac{17}{3}

2x² + x - 4x - 2

Collect like terms.

2x² + (x - 4x) - 2

Simplify.

2x² - 3x - 2
