You have been hired as a marketing consultant to Johannesburg Burger Supply, Inc., and you wish to come up with a unit price for

its hamburgers in order to maximize its weekly revenue. To make life as simple as possible, you assume that the demand equation for Johannesburg hamburgers has the linear form q = mp + b, where p is the price per hamburger, q is the demand in weekly sales, and m and b are certain constants you must determine.
Your market studies reveal the following sales figures: When the price is set at $2.00 per hamburger, the sales amount to 9000 per week, but when the price is set at $4.00 per hamburger, the sales drop to zero.
(A) Use these data to find the linear demand function q(p), where p is the price per hamburger and q is the number of hamburgers they sell at that price per week.

Answer:

The demabd function is:

q(p)= -4500p+18000

Step-by-step explanation:

The demand follow the linear equation q(p)=mp+b

1. When p=$2.00 and q=9000, the equation is:

9000=m(2.00)+b     (1)

2. Whe p=$4.00 and q=0, the equation is:

0=m(4.00)+b  (2)

3. Solve equation (1) for b:

9000=2m+b\\9000-2m=2m+2m+b\\9000-2m=b

4. Replace the value of b in equation (2)

0=4m+b\\0=4m+9000-2m\\0=2m+9000\\0-9000=2m+9000-9000\\-9000=2m\\\frac{-9000}{2m}=\frac{2m}{2m}\\ -4500=m

The value of m is 4500

5. Calculate b, replacing m:

0=4m+b\\\\0=4(-4500)+b\\0=-18000+b\\18000=b

The value of b is 18000

Please help me with this one I don’t understand. I need help with #20 thank you!
dimaraw [331]

part A)

we know that for every 1000 ft the temperature drops by 1.3.

so after 1000ft up it went down by 1.3(1)

2000ft up it went down by 1.3(2) or 2.6

3000ft up it went down by 1.3(3) or 3.9

after 10000 up it went down by 1.3(10) or 13.

part B)

well, the current temperature on the ground where the plane is sitting is -2.8°F, after 10000ft it dropped by 13°, so the temperature will just be -2.8 - 13 = -15.8°F.

What is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle when x=14
astra-53 [7]

The length of the hypotenuse will be equal to H=122.25 when value of x=14.

<h3>What is pythagorean theorem?</h3>

Pythagorean theorem states that in the right angle triangle the hypotenuse square is equal the square of the sum of the other two sides.

It is given that:

Value of x=14

The perpendicular is  =6x+5=6x14+5=89

The base is  =6x=84

So by using the Pythagorean theorem:-

H^2=P^2+B^2\\\\\\H^2=89^2+84^2\\\\\\H=\sqrt{89^2+84^2}\\\\\

Hence the value of hypotenuse will be H=122.25

To know more about the Pythagorean theorem follow

What is the square root of this problem?—-
musickatia [10]
<h2>Answer</h2>

The answer to this question is 0.9

<h2>Explanation</h2>

We know that

sequre of 9 is equal to 81  as 9^2 = 81

Then sequre of 0.9 will be

0.9^2 = 0.81

So,

b = \sqrt{ 0.81}

b = \sqrt{ 0.9^2}

Exponent and square root cancel out each other

So, the answer is 0.9.
