Answer:

Price = $4.50

Maximum revenue = $2,430

Step-by-step explanation:

The concession stand sells 600 bags of peanut at $4.00 (600, $4.00).

If there is a $1 increase in price, the number of bags old will decrease by 120, which mens that 480 bags of peanuts will be sold at $5.00 (480, $5.00).

Tracing a linear relationship between price and quantity sold with the two given points:

m = \frac{5-4}{480-600}\\ m=-\frac{1}{120}

P - P_0=m*(Q-Q_0)\\P-4.00=-\frac{1}{120} (Q-600)\\P= -\frac{1}{120}Q +9

The revenue function is given by the price multiplied by the quantity sold:

R=Q*P= (-\frac{1}{120}Q +9)*Q\\R=-\frac{1}{120}Q^2 +9Q

The value of 'Q' for which the derivate of the revenue function is zero, is the output level for which revenue is maximum:

R'=0=-\frac{2}{120}Q+9\\Q_{max} = 540\\P_{max} = -\frac{540}{120} +9\\P_{max} =\$4.50

The total revenue of 540 units at $4.50 per unit is:

R = \$4.50*540\\R=\$2,430

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Perpendicular = 17 units

Hypotenuse = 25 units

We need to find the value of x.

Using Pythagoras theorem to find x.

Hypotenuse² = base²+perpendicular²

25² = x² + 17²

x = 18.3 units

So, the value of x is equal to 18.3 units. No, the sides do not form a Pythagorean triplet.

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The correct option is A)  {x | x = –5, –3, 1, 2, 6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided diagram.

Here the left side represents the input (X) values and the right side represents the output (Y) values.

The domain refers to the set of possible input values.

Now consider the provided figure, the set of input value is:

{x | x = –5, –3, 1, 2, 6}

Hence, the correct option is A)  {x | x = –5, –3, 1, 2, 6}
