What are the dimensions of a rectangle with an area of 304 and a perimeter of 70?

1 answer:

5 0

Area = 304 cm^2
perimeter = 70
perimeter = 2(l+w)
70 = 2(l+w)
70/2 = l+w
35 = l+w
Now suppose the length would be = x
width would be= 35-x
NOW Area = l*w
304 = x * (35-x)
304 = 35x -x^2
x^2-35x+304 = 0
use quadratic formula to solve next ok

What is the answer to this <br> 25=-7(x+5)+5x

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

x = -25

Step-by-step explanation:

25 = -7(x + 5) + 5x

25 = -7x - 25 + 5x

5x - 7x - 25 = 25

5x - 7x - 25 + 25 = 25 + 25

5x - 7x = 50

-2x = 50

-2x/-2 = 50/-2

x = -25

The demand equation illustrates the price of an item and how it relates to the demand of the item.

The slope of the demand function is -1/2
The equation of the demand function is: $R(x) = (300 - 10x) \times (20 + 5x)$
The price that maximizes her revenue is: Ghc 85

From the question, we have:

$Plates = 300$

$Price = 20$

The number of plates (x) decreases by 10, while the price (y) increases by 5. The table of value is:

$\begin{array}{cccccc}x & {300} & {290} & {280} & {270} & {260} \ \\ y & {20} & {25} & {30} & {35} & {40} \ \end{array}$

The slope (m) is calculated using:

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

So, we have:

$m = \frac{25-20}{290-300}$

$m = \frac{5}{-10}$

$m = -\frac{1}{2}$

The equation of the demand is as follows:

The initial number of plates (300) decreases by 10 is represented as: (300 - 10x).

Similarly, the initial price (20) increases by 5 is represented as: (20 + 5x).

So, the demand equation is:

$R(x) = (300 - 10x) \times (20 + 5x)$

Open the brackets to calculate the maximum revenue

$R(x) =6000 + 1500x - 200x - 50x^2$

$R(x) =6000 + 1300x - 50x^2$

Equate to 0

$6000 + 1300x - 50x^2 =0$

Differentiate with respect to x

$1300 - 100x =0$

Collect like terms

$100x =1300$

Divide by 100

$x =13$

So, the price at maximum revenue is:

$Price= 20 + 5x$

$Price= 20 + 5 * 13$

$Price= 85$

In conclusion:

The slope of the demand function is -1/2
The equation of the demand function is: $R(x) = (300 - 10x) \times (20 + 5x)$
The price that maximizes her revenue is: Ghc 85
