The value of x is 18,000.

Guy's pay : g(x) = 185 + 0.03x
Jim's pay : f(x) = 275 + 0.025x

for their weekly pay to be the same: Guy's pay is equal to Jim's pay.

185 + 0.03x = 275 + 0.025x
0.03x - 0.025x = 275 - 185
0.005x = 90
0.005x / 0.005 = 90 / 0.005
x = 18000

To check:
Guy's pay = Jim's pay
185 + 0.03(18000) = 275 + 0.025(18000)
185 + 540 = 275 + 450
725 = 725

The reproduction function for a sardine is f(p) = −0.0005p2 + 4p, where p and f(p) are in hundred metric tons. Find the populati

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Population (p) = 4,000 hundred metric tons

Size of the yield (f(p)) = 8,000 hundred metric tons

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of sardines 'p', for which the derivate of the function f(p) is zero, is the population that gives the maximum sustainable yield:

$f(p) = -0.0005p^2 + 4p\\\frac{df(p)}{dp}=-0.0010p+4\\-0.0010p+4 =0\\p=4,000$
