Answer:

The maximum revenue is $661,250.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total revenue (R) is the product between the number of passengers (N) and the price of each ticket (P), so the inicial revenue is:

R = N * P = 8000 * 70 = $560,000

For each 1$ increase in the ticket, the airline loses 50 passengers, so if we call "x" the increase in the ticket price, we have that the revenue equation will be:

R = (8000-50*x) * (70+x) = 560000 + 8000*x - 50*70*x -50x2

R = -50*x2 + 4500*x + 560000

The value of x that gives the maximum value of a quadratic function is found using the formula:

x = -b/2a

where a and b are coefficients of the quadratic equation (in our case, a = -50 and b = 4500)

So the value of x that gives the maximum revenue is:

x = -4500 / (-100) = 45

Using this value in the revenue equation, we have that the maximum R is:

R = -50*45^2 + 4500*45 + 560000 = $661,250

(To get this revenue, the ticket will cost 70+45 = $115 and there will be 8000-50*45 = 5750 passengers)

Simplify 3 - b (7b + 2) + 3b - (11 - b)​
nirvana33 [79]

Answer: -7b² + 2b - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given expression</u>

3 - b (7b + 2) + 3b - (11 - b)

<u>Expand parentheses and apply the distributive property if necessary</u>

=3 - b · 7b - b · 2 + 3b - 11 + b

=3 - 7b² - 2b + 3b - 11 + b

<u>Combine like terms</u>

=-7b² + (3b - 2b + b) + (3 - 11)

=\boxed{-7b^2+2b-8}

Hope this helps!! :)
