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

Factor each polynomial. check your answer. <br> 12x^4 - 8x^3 - 4x^2
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

2x^2(3x^2-2x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

12x^4 - 8x^3 - 4x^2

everything is a multiple of 4 so divide the whole thing by 4

12x^4 - 8x^3 - 4x^2/4= 3x^4-2x^3-1x^2

write it in disturbed form

2(3x^4-2x^3-1x^2)

now if u see we can see that the X will be same, so we also have to factor it out and 2 is the exponent that all can give

2x^2(3x^2-2x-1)

What is the perimeter of the polygon defined by the points A(12, 20), B(20, 20), C(20, 8), and D(12, 8)? a 64 units b 144 units
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

  d.  40 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the horizontal side of this rectangle on the line y=20 is the difference of the x-coordinates, 12 and 20, so is 8. The length of the vertical side on the line x=20 is the difference of the y-coordinates, 20 and 8, so is 12.

Two sides are of length 8 and two are of length 12. The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths, so is ...

  P = 2·8 +2·12 = 40 . . . units
