Answer:

75 $

Step-by-step explanation:

According to problem statement p(300) = 600

And we know that with a rebate of 40 $, numbers of units sold will increase by 80 then if x is number of units sold, the increase in units is

(  x  - 300 )  , and the price decrease

(1/80)*40  =  0,5

Then the demand function is:

D(x)  =  600  - 0,5* ( x - 300 )  (1)

And revenue function is:

R(x) =  x * (D(x)   ⇒   R(x) =  x* [  600  - 0,5* ( x - 300 )]

R(x) = 600*x  - 0,5*x * ( x - 300 )

R(x) = 600*x - 0,5*x² - 150*x

R(x) = 450*x  - (1/2)*x²

Now taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get

R´(x) =  450  - x

R´(x) =  0       ⇒   450  - x = 0

x = 450 units

We can observe that for   0 < x  < 450  R(x) > 0 then R(x) has a maximum for x = 450

Plugging this value in demand equation, we get the rebate for maximize revenue

D(450)  =  600  - 0,5* ( x - 300 )

D(450)  =  600 - 225 + 150

D(450)  =

D(450)  =  600 - 0,5*( 150)

D(450)  =  600 - 75

D(450)  = 525

And the rebate must be

600 - 525  = 75 $

Translate the sentence into an equation. The difference of a number divided by 3 and 5 is equal to 2 . Use the variable w for th
Whitepunk [10]
Hey there :)

Let us translate each one separately
{ Using w for unknown }

The difference of a number divided by 3 and 5 is 2
'is' is the key-word, meaning you apply the = sign
Difference is subtraction

 → a number divided by 3 - 5 = 2

This is your equation:
 → \frac{w}{3} -5=2
 
Solving for w
Take 5 to the other side
[ When you see subtraction you do addition on the opposite side ]
 → \frac{w}{3}=2+5 
\frac{w}{3}=7

Take 3 to the other side
[ When you see division you do multiplication on the opposite side ]
w = 3 x 7
w = 21

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

y=9x^2 + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

using the power rule, we will differentiate each term separately

d/dx of 3x^3 = (3)(3)x^(3-1) = 9x^2

d/dx of 8x = 8x^(1-1) = 8

d/dx of -7 = 0

combining them we get the derivative which is y = 9x^2 + 8
