An electric company charges a certain rate per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity used and an administrative fee of $3.50. The c

ompany charged zhao $63.25 for using 800 kWh of electricity. Zhao uses the equation, 63.25 = 800r + 3.50 to represent the situation. What does the variable r represent in the equation?

Answer:

Variable $r$ represents the slope of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the administrative fees that company charge is $3.50.

Also, the Zhao has a bill of $63.25.

The equation used by Zhao is

$63.25=r(800)+3.50$

We can compare the equation of a line in the slope-intercept form.

$y=mx+c$

We can see the y-intercept is $3.50 that is a fixed cost. And the company charged $63.25 that is the dependent variable.

Also, variable $r$ that is the rate per kilowatt-hour (kWh) represents the slope of the equation.

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

$(a)$ $C(x)=500+20x-5x^{\frac{3}{4}}+0.01x^2$

$p(x)=320-7.7p$

$R(x)=(320-7.7p)p=320p-7.7p^2$

$(b)$ $x=82 \text{planes}$

$(c)$ $p=\$30.91 M\;\; \text{per plane}$

$(d)$ maximum profit $=\$ 15.90M$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The company estimates that the initial cost of designing the aeroplane and setting up the factories in which to build it will be 500 million dollars.

The additional cost of manufacturing each plane can be modelled by the function.

$m(x)=20x-5x^{\frac{3}{4}}+0.01x^2$

$(a)$ Find the cost, demand (or price), and revenue functions.

$C(x)=500+20x-5x^{\frac{3}{4}}+0.01x^2$

$p(x)=320-7.7p$

$R(x)=(320-7.7p)p=320p-7.7p^2$

$(b)$ Find the production level that maximizes profit.

$f=R(x)-C(x)$

$\Rightarrow f=320p-7.7p^2-(500+20x-5x^{\frac{3}{4}}+0.01x^2)$

$\Rightarrow df=320dp-15.4pdp-20dx+5(\frac{3}{4} )x^{\frac{-1}{4} }dx-0.02xdx$

$x=320-7.7p$

$p=\frac{320-x}{7.7}$

$\frac{dp}{dx} = \frac{-1}{7.7}$

$\frac{df}{dx}=\frac{320}{-7.7} -\frac{15.4(320-x) }{7.7(\frac{-1}{7.7} )}-20+5\frac{3}{4} x^{\frac{-1}{4}} -0.02x=0$

$\Rightarrow -41.5584+83.1169-0.2597x-20+3.75x^{\frac{-1}{4} }-0.02x=0$

$\Rightarrow 21.5585+3.75x^{\frac{-1}{4} }-0.279x=0$

$\Rightarrow x=82 \text{planes}$

$(c)$ Find the associated selling price of the aircraft that maximizes profit.

$p=\frac{320-82}{7.7}$

$\Rightarrow p=\$30.91 M\;\; \text{per plane}$

$(d)$ Find the maximum profit.

Manufacturing cost of one plane is:

$m(1)=20-5+0.01$

$=\$15.01 M$

maximum profit $=\$(30.91-15.01)M$

$=\$15.90M$

Answer:

I believe the question says "5j + 16 - 12(-9j - 4) - 12j" I hope I'm correct because I have almost no idea what you typed.

If you did type "5j + 16 - 12(-9j - 4) - 12j" then your answer would be 133j + 52 I believe. You never put how you would like your problem to be solved, so I simplified.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps.
