The price that will maximize its revenue is $75

Since a $5 decrease in price increases customers by 20 we can say that we have two points:

(125,100) and (120,120), from these we can find the slope or rate of change of customers as a function of price...

m=20/-5

m=-4

m=-4

c(p)=-4p+b, now we can use (125,100) to solve for b

100=-4(125)+b

100=-500+b

600=b, so our number of customers as a function of price is:

c(p)=600-4p

Revenue will simply be the number of customers times the price charged per customer...or p*c(p):

r(p)=600p-4p^2

We can find price that creates maximum revenue by finding when the derivative is equal to zero...

dr/dp=600-8p

dr/dp=0 only when

0=600-8p

8p=600

p=75

So the price that maximizes revenue is $75.

40 POINTS!!!! Which sequence of transformations will result in an image that maps onto itself?
White raven [17]

Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a point (x, y) has a sequence of transformations,

Option A).

Reflects across x-axis then the coordinates will be,

(x, y) → (x, -y)

Then reflects across the y-axis,

(x, -y) → (-x, -y)

Image (x, y) gets changed to (-x, -y) therefore, point (x, y) doesn't map onto itself.

Option B).

(x, y) rotate 90° counter clockwise about the origin.

(x, y) → (-y, x)

Then reflect across x-axis,

(-y, x) → (y, x)

Since coordinates of the image and the actual are not same therefore, image doesn't map itself.

Option C).

(x, y) when reflected across x-axis,

(x, y) → (x, -y)

Then reflected over the x-axis,

(x, -y) → (x, y)

In this option point (x, y) maps onto itself after these transformations.

Option D).

(x, y) rotated 90°counterclockwise about the origin

(x, y) → (-y, x)

Then translated up by 2 units.

(-y, x) → (-y, x+2)

Therefore, (x, y) gets changed after these transformations and doesn't maps itself.

Option (C) will be the answer.
