Answer:

<em>The store should charge </em><em>$160</em><em> to maximize monthly revenue and the maximum monthly revenue is </em><em>$25,600</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that, x is the number of $2 increases in price.

So price of the shoes becomes, 120+2x

Then the number of pairs of shoes sold becomes, 200-2x

The total revenue generated is the product of price of shoes and number of pairs of shoes sold, so

\text{Revenue}=f(x)=(120+2x)\cdot(200-2x)

=120\cdot \:200+120\left(-2x\right)+2x\cdot \:200+2x\left(-2x\right)

=120\cdot \:200-120\cdot \:2x+2\cdot \:200x-2\cdot \:2xx

=-4x^2+160x+24000

This is a quadratic function. And the quadratic function is maximized at,

x=-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{160}{2\times (-4)}=20

So the price of each pairs of shoes for maximum revenue is

=120+2x=120+2(20)=\$160

And maximum revenue will be

=-4(20)^2+160(20)+24000=\$25600

 <span>Let x = dollar increase in price 
Let y = fewer number of pairs sold 

Since 2 fewer shoes are sold for each 1 dollar (factor of 2) 

y = 2x 

Revenue = Number of shoes sold * Price charged per shoe 

Number of shoes sold = 200 - y = 200 - 2x 
Price charged per shoe = $60 + $x 

Revenue = (200 - 2x)(60 + x) = -2x^2 + 200x - 120x + 12000 
Revenue = -2x^2 + 80x + 12000 

In a quadratic equation, Revenue is maximized when x = -b / 2a. In this case: 

x - -80 / (2*-2) = $20 

Price charged per show = $60 + $x = $60 + $20 = $80. 

Maximum revenue = -2x^2 + 80x + 12000 (evaluated at x = $20) 

Maximum revenue = -2(20^2) + 80*20 + 12000 = $12800</span>

You’re given two side lengths of 3 centimeters and 5 centimeters. Which measurement can you use for the length of the third side
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

You could use a measurement of 4 centimeters.

The valid range is  2  < x < 8  cms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The third side must either be less than 3+5, that is less than 8 cms and  it must be greater than (5-3) = 2 cms. If it is any other length we could not construct a triangle.

Let x = a + bi and y = c + di and z = f + gi
ikadub [295]
True statements:
a) x + y = y + x  ⇒ commutative property of addition
b) (x * y) * z = x * (y * z) ⇒ associative property of multiplication
d) (x + y) + z = x + (y + z) ⇒ associative property of addition

False statements:
c) x - y = y - x  should be: x - y = - y + x
e) (x - y) - z = x - (y - z) should be: (x - y) - z = x - (y + z)

Elza [17]

Given:

A company wants to select 1 project from a set of 4 possible projects.

Consider the options are:

a. X_1+X_2+X_3+X_4=1

b. X_1+X_2+X_3+X_4\leq 1

c. X_1+X_2+X_3+X_4\geq 1

d. X_1+X_2+X_3+X_4\geq 0

To find:

The constraints that ensures only 1 will be selected.

Solution:

It is given that the company wants to select 1 project from a set of 4 possible projects. It means the sum of selected projects must be equal to 1.

X_1+X_2+X_3+X_4=1

Therefore, the correct option is (a).

To find the 'maximum height' we will need to take the derivative of h(t) = –16t² + 32t + 6 then set it equal to zero, then solve for t. this t will be the time at which the ball reaches it's maximum height.
