Answer:
a. Based on this information, construct a linear demand equation for Yoda vs. Alien T-shirts, and hence obtain the weekly revenue R as a function of the unit price x.
- y = 640 - 80x ⇒ demand equation
- xy = - 80x² + 640x ⇒ weekly revenue
b. The university administration charges the fraternities a weekly fee of $500 for use of the Student Center. Write down the monthly profit P as a function of the unit price x, and hence determine how much the fraternities should charge to obtain the largest possible weekly profit. What is the largest possible weekly profit?
Step-by-step explanation:
first, we must determine the slope = (400 - 240) / (3 - 5) = 160 / -2 = -80
the demand equation:
y - 240 = -80 (x - 5)
y = -80x + 400 + 240
y = 640 - 80x
total weekly revenue:
xy = -80x² + 640x
xy - 500 = -80x² + 640x - 500
max. profit ⇒ x = -640 / (2 x -80) = -640 / -160 = 4
maximum weekly profit = -80($4²) + 640($4) - $500 = -$1,280 + $2,560 - $500 = $780
The enclosed shape is that of a trapezoid. The area of a trapezoid is the product of the height of it (measured perpendicular to the parallel bases) and the average length of the two parallel bases. The formula is generally written ...
... A = (1/2)(b₁ + b₂)·h
Here, the base lengths are the y-coordinates at x=4 and x=9. The height is the distance between those two x-coordinates: 9 - 4 = 5.
You are expected to find the y-values at those two points, then use the formula for the area of the trapezoid.
You can save a little work if you realize that the average of the two base lengths is the y-coordinate corresponding to the average x-coordinate: (9+4)/2 = 6.5. That is you only need to find the y-coordinate for x=6.5 and do the area math as though you had a rectangle of that height and width 5.
Going that route, we have
... y = 2(6.5) - 1 = 13 - 1 = 12
Then the trapezoid's area is
... A = 12·5 = 60 . . . . square units.
Step One
Figure out the actual change.
Change = 2.78 - 2.45
Change = 0.33
Step 2
Find the % change
% Change = 0.33/2.45 * 100 = 13.5%
Answer:
x + 5 divided by x - 5 = 10
Then we can solve it as
x + 5 = 10 ( x - 5 )
x + 5 = 10x - 50
Collecting the variables to one side & numericals to other side then the equation becomes
10x - x = 5 + 50
or 9x = 55
Therefore x = 55/9
