Answer: The simplified term, or answer, is x = -4 ( or negative 4)

Step-by-step explanation: If you want to evaluate the variable x, you'll need to work out the inverse operation. Yes, operations.

2/5x+4=-12 hmm

We could turn this into (-12 - 4) divided by 2/5x

2/5x is .4x, and after subtracting -12 by 4, you'll get -16.

-16 divided by .4x. You can divide -16 by .4 or simply multiply it by its reciprocal: one forth. This would give you -4, or negative 4.

The publisher of a recently released nonfiction book expects that over the first 20 months after its release, the monthly profit

wolverine [178]

Answer:

(a) $\frac{dP}{dt}=\frac{4800-1600t-240t^2}{(t^2+20)^2}$

(b)P'(5)=-($4.54) Thousand

(c)P'(11)=-($2.10) Thousand

(d)The fifth Month

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the monthly profit model:

$P(t)=\frac{240t-40t^2}{t^2+20}$

(a)We want to derive a model that gives the Marginal Profit, P' of the book.

We differentiate

$P(t)=\frac{240t-40t^2}{t^2+20}$ using quotient rule.

$\frac{dP}{dt}=\frac{(t^2+20)(240-80t)-(240t-40t^2)(2t)}{(t^2+20)^2}$

Simplifying

$\frac{dP}{dt}=\frac{4800-1600t-240t^2}{(t^2+20)^2}$

We have derived a model for the marginal profit.

(b) After 5 months, at t=5

Marginal Profit=P'(5)

$\frac{dP}{dt}=\frac{4800-1600t-240t^2}{(t^2+20)^2}$

$P^{'}(5)=\frac{4800-1600(5)-240(5)^2}{(5^2+20)^2}$

=-($4.54) Thousand of dollars

(c)Marginal Profit 11 Months after book release

$P^{'}(11)=\frac{4800-1600(11)-240(11)^2}{(11^2+20)^2}$

=-($2.10) Thousand of dollars

(d) Since the marginal profit at t=5 is negative, after the 5th Month, the profit starts to experience a steady decrease.
