Answer:
The maximum profit of $ 10277.32____ can be made when the selling price of the dog food is set to $ _34___ per bag.
Step-by-step explanation:
Profit = Revenue - Cost
P(x) = R(x) -C(x)
= -31.72x^2 + 2,030x
-( -126.96x + 26,391)
Distribute the minus sign
= -31.72x^2 + 2,030x+126.96x - 26,391
Combine like terms
= -31.72 x^2 + 2156.96 x - 26391
This is a parabola. It is facing downwards. The maximum profits is at the vertex ( where the max is)
vertex = h = -b/2a = -(2156.96)/(2*-31.72) = -2156.96/-63.44=34
Evaluate P(x) at x=34 to determine the profit
P(34) = -31.72 (34)^2 + 2156.96 (34) - 26391
-36668.32+73336.64-26391
10277.32
<span>Constraints (in slope-intercept form)
x≥0,
y≥0,
y≤1/3x+3,
y</span>≤ 5 - x
The vertices are the points of intersection between the constraints, or the outer bounds of the area that agrees with the constraints.
We know that x≥0 and y≥0, so there is one vertex at (0,0)
We find the other vertex on the y-axis, plug in 0 for x in the function:
y <span>≤ 1/3x+3
y </span><span>≤1/3(0)+3
y = 3.
There is another vertex at (0,3)
Find where the 2 inequalities intersect by setting them equal to each other
(1/3x+3) = 5-x Simplify Simplify Simplify
x = 3/2
Plugging in 3/2 into y = 5-x: 10/2 - 3/2 = 7/2
y=7/2
There is another vertex at (3/2, 7/2)
There is a final vertex where the line y=5-x crosses the x axis:
0 = 5 -x , x = 5
The final vertex is at point (5, 0)
Therefore, the vertices are:
(0,0), (0,3), (3/2, 7/2), (5, 0)
We want to maximize C = 6x - 4y.
Of all the vertices, we want the one with the largest x and smallest y. We might have to plug in a few to see which gives the greatest C value, but in this case, it's not necessary.
The point (5,0) has the largest x value of all vertices and lowest y value.
Maximum of the function:
C = 6(5) - 4(0)
C = 30</span>
91.8 feet because 1 meter is approximately 3.28 feet and 28x 3.28 is 91.8 :)
Answer:
AB = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have two triangles (AEB and ADC), and they're similar by AA
Now, you can find the ratio of similitude by checking AE/AD which is 14/26 = 7/13
AB/AC = 7/13
Take AB as x aight
x/x+18 = 7/13
x=21
