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.

Without subtracting 8.5 - 4.64, determine what digit will be in the hundredths place. Explain
murzikaleks [220]
8.5 is the same as 8.50, right? So just take the digit in the hundredth place of both decimals and subtract. You'd be doing 0-4 so you can go ahead and borrow a number to make 10-4, which equals 6. So without subtracting 8.5 and 4.64, you can determine that 6 will be in the hundredth place. Hope this helps!

Which graphs have a positive average rate of change?
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, graphs that go from lower left to upper right have a positive slope (think of it as going up the stairs...positive), and graphs that go from upper left to lower right have a negative slope (think of it as going down the stairs...negative).  I don't see graphs here but use this general idea and you'll be fine.  Of course, this applies to graphs of lines of the form y = mx + b.
