Brach and Larue is a home goods store chain, and it is about to introduce a new convection oven that’s expected to sell very wel

l across its stores. These are the projected revenue and cost functions for the ovens:
R(x) = -13.85x2 + 1,660x
C(x) = 55,400 – 279x

What is the maximum profit that can be made from selling the ovens?

Answer:

\$12,465

Step-by-step explanation:

The functions for cost and revenue are given below:

Projected \:Revenue,R(x)=  -13.85x^2 + 1660x\\$Projected Cost, C(x)=55400 -279x\\Projected Profit = Revenue-Cost=R(x)-C(x)\\=-13.85x^2 + 1660x-(55400 -279x)\\=-13.85x^2 + 1660x-55400 +279x\\P(x)=-13.85x^2 + 1939x-55400

The profit will be maximized at its <u>line of symmetry,</u>x=-\dfrac{b}{2a}<u />

From P(x), a=-13.85, b=1939

<u>Line of symmetry,</u>

<u />x=-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{1939}{2(-13.85)}=70<u />

<u>The maximum profit that can be made will occur when x=70</u>

<u />P(x)=-13.85x^2 + 1939x-55400\\P(70)=-13.85(70)^2 + 1939(70)-55400\\=\$12,465<u />

The maximum profit that can be made form the sales of the oven is $12,465.

A 900-kg giraffe runs across a field at a rate of 50 km/hr. What is the magnitude of its momentum?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

As per the statement:

A 900-kg giraffe runs across a field at a rate of 50 km/hr.

⇒ m = 900 kg and

v=50 km/hr

Use conversion:

1 km/hr = \frac{5}{18} m/s

v = 50 \times \frac{5}{18} = \frac{250}{18} m/s

The magnitude of its momentum is given by:

p = mv

where

m is the mass in kg

v is the speed in m/s

Substitute the given value we have;

p = 900 \times \frac{250}{18} = 50 \times 250 = 12500 kg m/s

Therefore, the magnitude of its momentum is  12500 kg m/s

Find the surface area of a square pyramid with base edges<br> of 5 cm and a slant height of 3 cm.
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Surface area of square pyramid = 55cm^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, b is the base  edges and s is the slant height

According to given condition:

b = 5 cm

s = 3 cm

Find out:

Surface area of square pyramid = ?

Formula:

Surface area of square pyramid = b^{2} + 2bs

Solution:

Surface area of square pyramid = b^{2} + 2bs

Surface area of square pyramid = 5^{2} + 2(5)(3)

Surface area of square pyramid = (25+ 30 ) cm^{2}

Surface area of square pyramid = 55cm^{2}
