Write the correct equation. Direct variation problems are solved using the equation y = kx. When dealing with word problems, you should consider using variables other than x and y, you should use variables that are relevant to the problem being solved. Also read the problem carefully to determine if there are any other changes in the direct variation equation, such as squares, cubes, or square roots.

GuDViN [60]

Correct question is;

A manufacturer has been selling 1400 television sets a week at $450 each. A market survey indicates that for each $21 rebate offered to a buyer, the number of sets sold will increase by 210 per week

A) Find the demand function (price p as a function of units sold x).

p(x)=______

(B) How large a rebate should the company offer the buyer in order to maximize its revenue?

$=_____

Answer:

A) p(x) = (-1/10)x + 590

B) Rebate = $170

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We are told that p(x) is the demand function and x is the number of TV sets sold per week.

Now, since for each $21 rebate offered, the number of sets sold increases by 210 per week, it means that the slope here of this demand function is; m = -21/210 = -1/10

Now, he has been selling 1400 TV sets a week at $450 each. This means; p(1400) = $450

Thus, the demand function will be;

p(x) - 450 = (-1/10)(x - 1400)

Expanding the RHS;

p(x) - 450 = (-1/10)x + 140

Add 450 to both sides to get;

p(x) = (-1/10)x + 140 + 450

p(x) = (-1/10)x + 590

B) Formula for revenue is;

R = price × quantity sold

Our demand function is p = (-1/10)x + 590

Making x the subject, we have;

x = 5900 - 10p

x is quantity sold.

Thus,

R = p(5900 - 10p)

R = 5900p - 10p²

Maximum price will occur at dR/dP = 0

Thus;

dR/dP = 5900 - 20p

At dR/dP = 0,we have;

20p = 5900

p = 5900/20

p = $280

Thus, rebate = 450 - 280 = $170

Determine which expression has a greater value -12+6-4 or -34 -3+39
patriot [66]

By looking at it, I can tell the second expression is greater due to a a large postive number that's being added to it. Let's solve.

-12+6=-6-4=-10

-34-3=-37+39=2

So, -34-3+39 is greater.

Suppose the number of gallons of gasoline per day used by a car is normally distributed with a mean of 2.2 gallons and a standar
const2013 [10]
The difference in gallons per day used is 3.6.

The formula to calculate a z-score is:
z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma},

where X is the value used to calculate the score, μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation.  We have the z-scores so we must work backward:

3=\frac{X-2.2}{1.2}\text{ and }0=\frac{X-2.2}{1.2}

For both equations, we will cancel the 1.2 by multiplying both sides:
3\times1.2=(\frac{X-2.2}{1.2})\times1.2\text{ and }0\times1.2=(\frac{X-2.2}{1.2})\times1.2
\\
\\3.6=X-2.2\text{ and }0=X-2.2

Now we will cancel 2.2 from both equations by adding it to both sides:

3.6+2.2=X-2.2+2.2     and       0+2.2=X-2.2+2.2
5.8=X     and       2.2=X

The difference in gas used per day would be given by
5.8-2.2 = 3.6.
