An electronics store discovers that it can sell 5 televisions per day by pricing them at $150. When the televisions are on sale

for $100 the store sells 10 of them every day. Write a linear equation to compare the price of a television, p, to the number sold, x. Then write a quadratic equation to compare the revenue, m, from selling televisions to the number sold, x.

Answer:

p=-10x+200

m = -10x^2+200x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : An electronics store discovers that it can sell 5 televisions per day by pricing them at $150. When the televisions are on sale for $100 the store sells 10 of them every day.

To Find: Write a linear equation to compare the price of a television, p, to the number sold, x. Then write a quadratic equation to compare the revenue, m, from selling televisions to the number sold, x.

Solution:

Let p be the price and x be the no. of television sold

We are given that  it can sell 5 televisions per day by pricing them at $150. When the televisions are on sale for $100 the store sells 10 of them every day. i.e(5,150) and (10,100)

Now to find the linear equation to compare the price of a television, p, to the number sold, x.

We will use two point slope form

Formula : y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

(x_1,y_1)=(5,150)

(x_2,y_2)=(10,100)

Substitute the values in the formula

y-150=\frac{100-150}{10-5}(x-5)

y-150=\frac{-50}{5}(x-5)

y-150=-10(x-5)

y-150=-10x+50

y=-10x+50+150

y=-10x+200

x is the no. of television sold

y is the price

Since p denotes the price

So,  p=-10x+200

Thus a linear equation to compare the price of a television, p, to the number sold, x is   p=-10x+200

Now Revenue = Cost \times quantity

Since price of x telivisons = p=-10x+200

So,  Revenue = (-10x+200) \times x

Revenue = -10x^2+200x

m denotes revenue

So,m = -10x^2+200x

Thus a quadratic equation to compare the revenue, m, from selling televisions to the number sold, x. is m = -10x^2+200x

Hence a linear equation to compare the price of a television, p, to the number sold, x is   p=-10x+200 and a quadratic equation to compare the revenue, m, from selling televisions to the number sold, x. is m = -10x^2+200x

Answer:

p = -10x + 200

m = -10x^2 +200x

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that at a price of $ 150, 5 televisions are sold and at a price of $ 100, 10 televisions are sold.

We must write a linear equation for this situation.

The equation of the line will have the following form

p = mx + b

Where m is the slope of the line and b is the intercept with the p axis

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\m=\frac{100-150}{10-5}=-10

b=p_1-mx_1\\\\b=150-(-10)(5)\\\\b=200

The equation is:

p = -10x + 200

Now we know that the revenue m is the product of the price p for the quantity sold x.

m = p * x

m=(-10x + 200)*x

m = -10x^2 +200x

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

(2,0) - x -intercept

(0, 1.5) - y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the points can be found by writing a ratio of vertical change to horizontal change. It can be found in the table by subtracting y values from each other and subtracting x values from each other. The y values decrease by 3 each time or -6 - -3 = -6 + 3 = -3.

The x values increase by 4.

So the rate of change is -3/4.

This means if you go backwards on the table the previous point would be (2, 0). This is the x-intercept.

To find the y-intercept, you must go further back. Going back 2 more units would make the table appear as:

x                      y

-2                    3

0                      ???

2                      0

6                     -3

10                    -6

14                    -9

Since the y values decrease by 3 each time and we went back half the usual amount, then the value would be 1.5.

To know what the answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

clearly I do not know, but I can say that we do need to know the mass bc in the future there will be more and more androids on the rising making human interaction bad.

  • to find out the equation take the seed and the time. (this to make it look like i answered)
  • Taking the mass you will be able to find out how many
  • speed is found by the time and mass
  • time is found out by the mass and speed
  • i dont know if this helped
