Answer: the trip (one-way) that Alan made on Saturday was 63 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance of the trip that Alan made on Saturday.

Let t represent the time that it took Alan to make the trip on Saturday.

On Saturday, Alan traveled North along minor roads averaging 36 mph to visit a friend.

Distance = speed × time.

Therefore, distance travelled on Saturday would be

x = 36 × t = 36t

On Sunday, he traveled East along main roads averaging 60 mph to visit his mother. The trip to visit his mother was 24 miles longer and took 18 minutes(18/60 = 0.3 hours) less. This means that the distance travelled would be

x + 24 and the time spent would be t - 0.3 hours.

Distance travelled on Sunday would be

x + 24 = 60(t - 0.3)

x + 24 = 60t - 18 - - - - - - -- - - 1

Substituting x = 36t into equation 1, it becomes

36t + 24 = 60t - 18

60t - 36t = 24 + 18

24t = 42

t = 42/24 = 1.75

x = 36t = 36 × 1.75

x = 63 miles

A scuba diving company currently charges $100per dive. On average, there are 30 customers per day. The company performed a study
Semenov [28]

A. Total Revenue (R) is equal to price per dive (P) multiplied by number of customers (C). We can write R=PC.

Per price increase is $20. So four price increase is $20*4=$80. Hence, price per dive is 100+80=$180.

Also per price increase, 2 customers are reduced from 30. For 4 price increases, 4*2=8 customers are reduced. Hence, total customers is 30-8=22.

So Total Revenue is:

R=180*22=3960


B. Each price increase is 20. So x price increase is 20x. Hence, new price per dive would be equal to the sum of 100 and 20x.

Also per price increase, customers decrease by 2. So per x price increases, the customer decrease is 2x. Hence, new number of customers is the difference of 30 and 2x.

Therefor we can write the quadratic equation for total revenue as the new price times the new number of customers.

R=(100+2x)(30-2x)=-40x^{2}+400x+3000


C. We are looking for the point (x) at which the equation modeled in part (B) gives a maximum value of revenue (y). That x value is given as x=-\frac{b}{2a}, where a is the coefficient of x^{2} and b is the coefficient of x. So we have,

x=-\frac{b}{2a}=- \frac{400}{(2)(-40)}=5

That means, the greatest revenue is achieved after 5 price increases. Each price increase was 20, so 5 price increase would be 5*20=100. So the price that gives the greatest revenue is 100+100=200.

ANSWERS:

A. $3960

B. R=-40x^{2}+400x+3000

C. $200

I need help asap plz
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant of proportionality is the ratio between the two proportional variables in a directly proportional relationship. In this case, the variables are x and y.

To find the constant of proportionality, all we have to do is divide any value of y by its corresponding value of x. Let's take the values in the first row of the table. We know that x=2 and y=12, so the constant of proportionality is \frac{y}{x}=\frac{12}{2} =6. Hope this helps!

D=rt What does T equal? Lol how is this possible
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

t = D/r

Step-by-step explanation:

you rearrange the equation so that is the subject. when you bring something over the equal sign, it reverses the function so D = r×t becomes t = D/r
