QUESTION 3 [10 MARKS] A bakery finds that the price they can sell cakes is given by the function p = 580 − 10x where x is the nu

mber of cakes sold per day, and p is price. The total cost function of the company is given by c = (30+5x) 2 where x is previously defined, and c is total cost. A. Find the revenue and marginal revenue functions [Hint: revenue is price multiplied by quantity i.E. Revenue = price × quantity] (3 marks) B. Find the fixed cost and marginal cost function [Hint: fixed cost does not change with quantity produced] (3 marks) C. Find the profit function [Hint: profit is revenue minus total cost] (2 marks) D. Find the quantity that maximizes profit (2 marks)

Answer:

(a)Revenue=580x-10x²,

Marginal Revenue=580-20x

(b)Fixed Cost, =900

Marginal Cost,=300+50x

(c)Profit Function=280x-900-35x²

(d)x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

The price, p = 580 − 10x where x is the number of cakes sold per day.

Total cost function,c = (30+5x)²

(a) Revenue Function

R(x)=x*p(x)=x(580 − 10x)

R(x)=580x-10x²

Marginal Revenue Function

This is the derivative of the revenue function.

If R(x)=580x-10x²,

R'(x)=580-20x

(b)Total cost function,c = (30+5x)²

c=(30+5x)(30+5x)

=900+300x+25x²

Therefore, Fixed Cost, =900

Marginal Cost Function

This is the derivative of the cost function.

If c(x)=900+300x+25x²

Marginal Cost, c'(x)=300+50x

(c)Profit Function

Profit, P(x)=R(x)-C(x)

=(580x-10x²)-(900+300x+25x²)

=580x-10x²-900-300x-25x²

P(x)=280x-900-35x²

(d)To maximize profit, we take the derivative of P(x) in (c) above and solve for its critical point.

Since P(x)=280x-900-35x²

P'(x)=280-70x

Equate the derivative to zero

280-70x=0

280=70x

x=4

The number of cakes that maximizes profit is 4.

Destiny and Alicia both leave the coffee shop at the same time, but in opposite directions. If Alicia travels 4 mph faster than
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer: Destiny's speed is 11 mph.

Alicia's speed is 15 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Destiny and Alicia both leave the coffee shop at the same time, but in opposite directions. If they are 78 miles apart after 3 hours, it means that the total distance that they covered in 3hours is 78 miles

Let x represent the speed at which Destiny travelled. If Alicia travels 4 mph faster than Destiny, it means that the speed at which Alicia travelled is (x + 4) mph

Distance = speed × time

Distance covered by Destiny in 3 hours is

3 × x = 3x

Distance covered by Alicia in 3 hours is

3(x + 4) = 3x + 12

Since the total distance is 78 miles, then

3x + 3x + 12 = 78

6x = 78 - 12 = 66

x = 66/6 = 11 mph

Alicia's speed is

11 + 4 = 15 mph

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-3+3x= -28

combine like terms

5x -3 = -28

add 3 to each side

5x-3+3 = -28+3

5x = -25

divide each side by 5

5x/5 = -25/5

x = -5
