Answer:

$x=\frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A quick review on PEMDAS, the order of how to solve an equation:

P - parentheses. When parentheses are being used, you have to do everything inside them before doing everything outside of them.

E - exponents. We'll skip these, since there aren't any exponents we need to worry about in this equation.

M/D - multiplication/division. I include these both together because they can be done at the same time.

A/S = addition/subtraction. Can also be done at the same time.

Some other things to note:

You add all the things with an x attached to it, and you add all the things without an x attached to it, and these never cross.

When you bring something from one side of an equal sign to another, you make it negative.

Let's solve for x using what we've learned:

$2(1-8x)=\frac{1}{2} (8-64x)\\2-16x=4-32x\\16x=2\\x=\frac{2}{16} \\x=\frac{1}{8}$

You have just opened a new nightclub, Russ' Techno Pitstop, but are unsure of how high to set the cover charge (entrance fee). O

Neko [114]

Answer:

a)q(p)=-15p+ +300

b)R(p)=-15p²+300p

c)C(p)=-30p+1600

d.1)P(p)=-15p²+330p-1600

d.2)p=$11

Step-by-step explanation:

(a).Before getting started, we are going to consider the cartesian plane, where x-axis corresponds to the cover charge and y-axis corresponds to number of guests per night . There, we will locate the following coordinates according to the previous information:

(9,165) (10,150).

Remember that the slope-intercept form of the linear equation is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is te intercept.

The slope can be calculated by the next formula:

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

In this case we will assign (9,165) as the first coordinate and (10,150) as the second one. The order does not matter. At the end we get the same value for m.

Therefore:

$m=\frac{150-165}{10-9} = -15$

Now, we have the slope and two poitns. According to this, and taking into account that point-slope form of the equation of a line is y-y1=m(x-x1), find a linear demand equation.

Any of two coordintates can be selected. In this case we will select the second one.

y-150=-15(x-10) equation 1

Solve equation 1 for y

y=-15x+150+150

y=-15x+300

Above we had defined x as cover charge (p) and y as number of guests (q). Thus, rewrite equation 1.

q(p)=-15p+ +300.

it equation shows the number of guests per night as a function of the cover charge,

(b). The nightly revenue can be calculated multplying the price of the cover charge by the number of guests. So, we just have to multiply the equation 1 by p.

p*q(p)=p*(-15p +300)

R(p)=-15p²+300p equation 2

(c) To get the cost function of the nightclub we just have to multiply the cost of the two non-alcoholic drinks by the number of the guests ( equation 1) and add to it nightly overheads.

C(p)=2*(-15p+300)+1000

C(p)= -30p+600+1000

C(p)=-30p+1600 equation 3

(d) In order to find the profit in terms of the cover charge we will subtract nightly costs ( equation 3) from nightly revenue (equation 2)

P(p)=R(p)-C(p)

P(p)=-15p²+300p - (-30p+1600)

P(p)=-15p²+300p+30p-1600

P(p)=-15p²+330p-1600

To determine that the entrance fee we should charge for a maximum profit we are going to use the first derivative test (y'(x)=0) in order to find an extremum point.

Compute the first derivative of P(p)

P'(p)=-30p+330=0

30p=330

p=330/30

p= $11

The entrance fee that we should charge for a maximum profit is p=$11 per guest.

a hiking path is represented by the equation y=3/8x on a coordinate map. The county would like to create a parallel path for bik

stepladder [879]

Answer:

The equation of the bike path on a coordinate map is represented by $y = \frac{3}{8}\cdot x +1$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

From Analytical Geometry, we know that resultant parallel line is a translated version of parent line. Two lines are parallel to each other when they share the same slope. The resultant line can be construted from slope-point form:

$y-y_{o} = m_{\parallel}\cdot (x-x_{o})$

Where:

$x_{o}$ , $y_{o}$ - Components of known point, dimensionless.

$m_{\parallel}$ - Slope of the parallel line, dimensionless.

In addition, a line has also this form:

$y = m\cdot x + b$

Where:

$x$ - Independent variable, dimensionless.

$y$ - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

$m$ - Slope, dimensionless.

$b$ - y-Intercept, dimensionless.

Given that parent function is $y = \frac{3}{8}\cdot x$ , the slope of the resulting line is $m_{\parallel} = \frac{3}{8}$ . Now, if $x_{o} = 16$ and $y_{o} = 7$ , we obtain the equation of the line:

$y-7 = \frac{3}{8}\cdot (x-16)$

$y = \frac{3}{8}\cdot x +1$

The equation of the bike path on a coordinate map is represented by $y = \frac{3}{8}\cdot x +1$ .

A population of insects grows exponentially, as shown in the table. Suppose the increase in population continues at the same rat

Ivanshal [37]

We are told that a population of insects grows exponentially and we are given a table of data about insect population growth. We are asked to find population of insects at the end of week 11.

The initial insect population is 20 and at the end of 1st week population increases to 30.

Let us find growth percentage of insect population,

$\text{Growth percentage}=\frac{\text{Difference}}{Actual} \cdot100$
