Answer:

The speed of the wind is 48.56

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the following formula to calculate the distance:

distance = speed x time

Let w represent the speed of the wind.

If the plane flies with the wind, the speed will be the speed of the plane + the speed of wind. Since it can fly 910 miles, and the speed of the plane is 305

910 = (305 + w) x time (1)

If the plane flies against the wind, the speed will be the speed of the plane - the speed of wind. Since it can fly 660 miles, and the speed of the plane is 305

660 = (305 - w) x time (2)

Since the time is equal for both equation in 1 and 2:

\frac{910}{305+w} = \frac{660}{305-w}

→ 910(305-w) = 660(305+w)

→ 277550 - 910 w = 201300 + 660w

→ 1570w = 76250

→ w = 48.56

Based on the results from part C, which two statements correctly interpret actions the business should take? If material 2 is us
Serjik [45]

The profit function is the difference between the cost and the revenue functions.

The true statement is (a) If material 2 is used, Carrie will earn a profit if she sells chairs for more than $150 each.

<h3>How to determine the true profit functions</h3>

From the complete questions, the profit functions are calculated as follows:

<u>Material 1</u>

P(x) = 5000000- 20000x - 200000x + 2000x^2

P(x) = 5000000-220000x + 2000x^2

<u>Material 2</u>

P(x) = 4000000 - 10000x - 160000x+ 1000x^2

P(x) = 4000000-170000x+ 1000x^2

<u>Material 3</u>

P(x) = 2000000 - 5000x - 54000x - 270x^2

P(x) = 2000000 -59000x - 270x^2

Next, we test the options

Option 1: When material 2 is used

A price is greater than $150 is $151.

Calculate P(151) using P(x) = 4000000-170000x+ 1000x^2

So, we have:

P(151) = 4000000-170000 * 151+ 1000* 151^2

P(151) = 1131000

P(151) is greater than 0; this represents a profit

Hence, option (1) is true

Option 2: When material 1 is used

A price is less than $50 is $49.

Calculate P(49) using P(x) = 5000000-220000x + 2000x^2

So, we have:

P(49) = 5000000-220000 * 49 + 2000* 49^2

P(49) =-978000

P(49) is less than 0; this represents loss

Hence, option (2) is false

Option 3: When material 3 is used

Calculate P(45) and P(160) using P(x) = 2000000 -59000x - 270x^2

So, we have:

P(45) = 2000000 -59000 * 45 - 270 * 45^2

P(45) = -1201750

P(45) is less than 0; this represents loss

Hence, option (3) is false

Option 1: When material 2 is used

Calculate P(30) and P(120) using P(x) = 4000000-170000x+ 1000x^2

So, we have:

P(30) = 4000000-170000*30+ 1000*30^2

P(30) = -200000

P(30) is less than 0; this represents a loss

Hence, option (4) is false

Option 2: When material 1 is used

Calculate P(40) and P(70) using P(x) = 5000000-220000x + 2000x^2

So, we have:

P(40) = 5000000-220000*40 + 2000*40^2

P(40) = -600000

P(49) is less than 0; this represents loss

Hence, option (5) is false

The above means that:

The true statement is (a) If material 2 is used, Carrie will earn a profit if she sells chairs for more than $150 each.
