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.

Keeping the properties of exponents in mind, to what power must you raise the expression 7 1/2 to get 7 as a result
zhenek [66]
For this case we have the following expression:
 7 ^ {(1/2)}

 Rewriting the expression we have:
 (7 ^ {(1/2)}) ^ x

 Where,
 x: exponent to which we must raise the expression to obtain 7 as a result.
 We have then:
 7 ^ {((1/2) x)}

 The exponent must be equal to 1:
 (1/2) x = 1

 Clearing x we have: 
 x = 2

 Substituting valres:
 7 ^ {((1/2) 2)}

7 ^ 1

7
 Answer:
 
you must raise the expression to 2

Suppose that nine is a factor of a number which statement has to be true
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
Since 9 is a factor of an unknown number, that means that that number has to be a multiple of 9. If 9 is the factor of something then that something HAS to be a multiple of 9.
