Write an equation that is the sum of the first

<em>In order to increase the area of a rectangular garden that measures 12 feet by 14 feet by 50% Jake must increase each dimension by equal lengths, x:</em>

$x\approx 2.9ft$

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2 />

First of all, let's calculate the area of the original rectangular garden:

$A=b\times h \\ \\ b:base \\ \\ h:height \\ \\ \\ b=12ft \\ \\ h=14ft \\ \\ \\ A=12(14) \\ \\ A=168ft^2$

Jake wants to increase the area by 50%, so the new area would be:

$A'=168(1.5) \\ \\ A'=252ft^2$

He wants to increase the area by 50% and plans to increase each dimension by equal lengths, x, so this is represented by the figure below, therefore:

$(12+x)(14+x)=252 \\ \\ 168+12x+14x+x^2-252=0 \\ \\ x^2+26x-84=0 \\ \\ \\ Using \ quadratic \ formula: \\ \\ x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \\ a=1 \\ \\ b=26 \\ \\ c=-84 \\ \\ \\ x=\frac{-26 \pm \sqrt{26^2-4(1)(-84)}}{2(1)} \\ \\ x=\frac{-26 \pm \sqrt{1012}}{2} \\ \\ \\ Two \ solutions: \\ \\ x_{1}=-13+\sqrt{253} \approx 2.9\\ \\ x_{2}=-13-\sqrt{253} \approx -28.9 \\ \\ x_{2} \ is \ discarded \ because \ it \ can't \ be \ negatives$

Finally:

$x\approx 2.9ft$

Assume that the total revenue received from the sale of x items is given by, R(x)equals34 ln (4 x plus 5 ), while the total c

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

63 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The profit function P(x) is given by the revenue function minus the cost function:

$P(x) = R(x) - C(x)\\P(x) = 34ln(x+5)-\frac{x}{2}$

The number of units sold 'x' for which the derivate of the profit function is zero, is the number of units that maximizes profit:

$P(x) = 34ln(x+5)-\frac{x}{2}\\P'(x) =0= \frac{34}{x+5}-\frac{1}{2}\\x+5=68\\x=63\ units$

The number of units that should be manufactured so that profit is maximum is 63 units.
