We are given with the variable cost which is:
q = -20s + 400

The selling price is 's'. So, the profit can be represented by:
P = qs - q(12)

Subsituting:
P = (-20s + 400)s - 12 (-20s + 400)
P = -20s^2 + 640s - 4800

To optimize this, we must differentiate the equation and equate it to zero, so:\
dP/ds = -40s + 640 = 0
Solving for s,
s = 16

So, the selling price should be $16 to optimize the yearly profit.

Water pressure increases 0.44 pounds per square inch (0.44 psi) with each increase of one foot in depth below sea level. Identif
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Depth below sea level is the independent quantity,

Water pressure is the dependent quantity

Step-by-step explanation:

An independent quantity is a variable that can be changed in an experiment. While, dependent quantity results from the independent quantity or we can say, that depends upon the independent quantity.

Here,

The water pressure increases 0.44 pounds per square inch (0.44 psi) with each increase of one foot in depth below sea level,

So, for measuring the water pressure we took depth below sea level as a variable,

⇒ Depth below sea level is the independent quantity,

While, with increasing depth by 1 foot the pressure is also increase by 0.44 pounds per square inches ⇒ pressure depends upon the depth

⇒ Water pressure is the dependent quantity.
