QUESTION 3 [10 MARKS] A bakery finds that the price they can sell cakes is given by the function p = 580 − 10x where x is the nu

Harman [31]

Answer:

(a)Revenue function, $R(x)=580x-x^2$

Marginal Revenue function, R'(x)=580-2x

(b)Fixed cost =900 .

Marginal Cost Function=300+50x

(c)Profit, $P(x)=-35x^2+280x-900$

(d)x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

Price Function $= 580 - 10x$

The revenue function

$R(x)=x\cdot (580-10x)\\R(x)=580x-x^2$

The marginal revenue function

$\dfrac{dR}{dx}= \dfrac{d}{dx}(R(x))=\dfrac{d}{dx}(580x-x^2)=580-2x\\R'(x)=580-2x$

Part B

(Fixed Cost)

The total cost function of the company is given by $c=(30+5x)^2$

We expand the expression

$(30+5x)^2=(30+5x)(30+5x)=900+300x+25x^2$

Therefore, the fixed cost is 900 .

Marginal Cost Function

If $c=900+300x+25x^2$

Marginal Cost Function, $\frac{dc}{dx}= (900+300x+25x^2)'=300+50x$

Part C

Profit Function

Profit=Revenue -Total cost

$580x-10x^2-(900+300x+25x^2)\\580x-10x^2-900-300x-25x^2\\$Profit,P(x)=-35x^2+280x-900$

Part D

To maximize profit, we find the derivative of the profit function, equate it to zero and solve for x.

$P(x)=-35x^2+280x-900\\P'(x)=-70x+280\\-70x+280=0\\-70x=-280\\$Divide both sides by -70\\x=4$

The number of cakes that maximizes profit is 4.

Answer:

Plan A equation: y = 10x + 30

Plan B equation: y = x + 80

Plan C equation: y = 5x + 50

Plan A costs the same as Plan C in 4 months

Plan A is the better option if you use 0 - 4 GBs of data each month

Plan B becomes the better deal when 8 months pass

Step-by-step explanation:

When does Plan A cost the same as Plan C?

Set the equations equal to each other (the cost) and solve for x (time in months)

10x + 30 = 5x + 50

5x = 20

x = 4 months

Which plan is best if you only use 0-4 GBs of data a month?

Test the maximum and minimum values to check which plan costs less

At 0 GBs of data used per month

Plan A: y = 0 + $ 30 = $30 total

Plan B: y = 0 +$80 = $80 total

Plan C: y = 0 + $50 = $50 total

At 4 GBs of data used per month

Plan A: y = $ 40 + $ 30 = $ 70

Plan B: y = $ 4 + $ 80 = $ 84

Plan C: y = $ 20 + $ 50 = $ 70

Comparing the plans at maximum and minimum amount of GBs used, only one plan has the lowest cost overall. Even though Plan C is the same price at 4 GBs as Plan A, when you use 0 GBs you will end up paying more in Plan C than Plan A. Therefore, Plan A is the better option

When does Plan B become the best deal?

When you plot the different Plans on a graph, the slope intercept of x = 7.5 (rounded up to 8) yields the lowest cost for plan B

You go shopping and spend $264 on shirts and shorts. You purchase a total of 9 items. Each shirt costs $24 and each pair of shor

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

3 shirts, 6 shorts

Step-by-step explanation:

A total of $264 is spent during shopping on shirts and shorts

Each shirt costs $24

Each shorts cost $32

Therefore the quantity of shirts and shorts bought can be calculated as follows

24× 3= 72

32×6= 192

192+72= 264

Hence 3 shirts and 6 shorts were bought

Solve for x: 3+(-5)x=19

malfutka [58]

3+(-5)x=19
Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.
-5x= 16
Divide by -5 on both sides
X= -3.2
