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)

HELP PLS!!!!!! Select the correct location on the number line.
Elza [17]

Answer:

Point E on the number line represents the approximate volume of a cylinder with a radius of 4 units and height of 4 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the radius of the cylinder is 4 units and the height of the cylinder is 4 units.

The volume of the cylinder is

v = \pi \: r {}^{2} h

Where, r is radius and h is height of the cylinder.

Substitute r=4, h=4, π=3.14 in the above formula.

v = (3.14)(4) {}^{2} (4)

v = 200.96

The volume of  the cylinder is 200.96. Therefore, point E on the number line represents the approximate volume of a cylinder with a radius of 4 units and height of 4 units.
