Answer:

a. The start-up cost for the teenagers company is $50

b. The number of mugs the teenager must sell to break even are 5 mugs or 25 mugs

c. The number of mugs that will give maximum profit is 15 mugs

d. The profit if she sells 10 mugs is $30

Step-by-step explanation:

The given profit function for selling <em>x</em> number of mugs is presented as follows;

f(x) = -0.4·x² + 12·x - 50

a. The start-up cost in dollars is given by the value of the profit function at the start, where, x = 0, as follows;

Start-up cost = f(0) = -0.4×0² + 12×0 - 50 = -50

The negative sign represents amount put in the business

The start-up cost = (The initial) $50 put into the business.

b. The break even point is the point where, the revenue and costs are equal

At break even point; Revenue = Cost

∴ Profit, at break even point, f(x) = Revenue - Cost = 0

From the profit function, we get;

At the break even point, f(x) = 0 = -0.4·x² + 12·x - 50

Dividing by -0.4 gives;

0/(-0.4) = 0 = (-0.4·x² + 12·x - 50)/(-0.4) = x² - 30 + 125

0 = x² - 30 + 125

∴ (x - 25)·(x - 5) = 0

The number of mugs the teenager must sell before she breaks even, x = 5 mugs or x = 25 mugs.

c. From the general form of a quadratic equation,  which is; y = a··x² + b·x + c, the formula for the x-values at the maximum point is; x = -b/(2·a)

Comparing the profit function to the general form of the quadratic equation we have at the maximum point;

x = -12/(2×(-0.4)) = 15

Therefore, the number of mugs that will give maximum profit, x = 15 mugs.

d. The profit from selling 10 mugs, f(10) is given as follows;

f(10) = -0.4 × 10² + 12 × 10 - 50 = 30

The profit from selling 10 mugs, f(10) = $30

olga55 [171]
<span>The total number (n) = 28. This includes the number of cats (c) and the number of dogs (d), which is three times the number of cats. Therefore n = c + d and 28 = c + 3c. 28 = 4c. C = 28/4. C = 7. Kim trained 7 cats.</span>
