Pearl's Biking Company manufactures and sells bikes. Each bike costs £40 to make, and the company's fixed costs are £5000. In ad

dition, Pearl knows that the price of each bike comes from the price function P(x) = 300 – 2x where x is the total number of bikes manufactured and sold. Questions a) Find the company's revenue function R(x), the company's cost function C(x) and find the breakeven points

Answer:

R(x) =300·x - 2·x²

C(x) = £5000 + £40 × x

The break even points are 23.47 and 106.53 or 23 and 107 bikes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the price function P(x) = 300 -2·x

Cost per bike = £40

The revenue function R(x) is given by  bike price × total number of bikes manufactured and sold

∴ R(x)  = P(x)×x = (300 - 2·x)×x = 300·x - 2·x²

The company's cost function, C(x) is Fixed cost + cost to produce each bike × total number of bikes produced

∴ C(x) = £5000 + £40 × x

The break even point is given by the relation;

Total revenue - total cost = 0

That is, break even point is R(x) - C(x) = 0

300·x - 2·x² - (5000 + 40·x) = 0

-2·x²+260·x-5000 = 0 or 2·x²- 260·x + 5000 = 0

Factorizing, we have;

(x - (65 -5√69))(x - (65 +5√69))

Solving gives x = 23.47 or 106.53

Therefore, the break even points are 23.47 and 106.53.

That is the company is profitable when they produce less than 23 bikes or more than 107 bikes.

Given cos ⁡ ( θ ) = 5/6 , then sin ⁡ ( θ ) = a/b .<br><br> Determine the values of a and b.
slega [8]

Answer:

a = √11 and b = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to attached picture for reference

for an right triangle with angle θ

we are given

cos θ = 5/6 = length of adjacent side / length of hypotenuse

hence

adjacent length = 5 units

hypotenuse length = 6 units

the missing side is the "opposite" length which we can find with the Pythagorean equation. in our case:

hypotenuse ² = adjacent ² + opposite²   (rearrange)

opposite ² = hypotenuse ² - adjacent ²

opposite ² = 6² - 5²

opposite = √ (6²-5²) = √11

sin θ = opposite length / hypotenuse  (substitute values above)

sin θ = √11 / 6

hence a = √11 and b = 6

Find the length of the unknown side. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.<br> 20 m<br> 12 m<br> b
stepladder [879]

The length of the unknown side is 16 meters

<h3>What is a right triangle?</h3>

A right triangle is a triangle that has one of its angles to be 90 degrees

The length of the unknown side is calculated using the following Pythagoras theorem.

20^2 = 12^2  +b^2

Evaluate the exponents

400 = 144  +b^2

Collect like terms

b^2 = 400 -144

Evaluate the like terms

b^2 = 256

Take the square root of both sides

b = 16

Hence, the length of the unknown side is 16 meters
