Answer:

The total amount received by the author is of 221,616Gp.

Step-by-step explanation:

25,300 copies sold.

For the first 6000, he receives 10% of the selling price of 76 Gp.

For those in excess of 6000, that is, the next 25300 - 6000 = 19300, he receives 12% of the selling price of 76 Gp.

Total amount received by the author:

6000*0.1*76 + 19300*0.12*76 = 221,616

The total amount received by the author is of 221,616Gp.

find two positive real numbers such that they sum to 108 and the product of the first times the square of the second is a maximu
topjm [15]

The two positive numbers are 36 and 72 which gives a sum equal to 108 and the product of 36 and the square of 72 is a maximum.

Any integer greater than zero is considered a positive number. A positive number can either be written as a number or with the "+" symbol in front of it.

Let us consider the two positive real numbers as x and y. Then, their sum is written as,

x+y=108

Then, y=108-x

And the product is written as,

P=xy²

Substitute value of y in the above equation, we get,

\begin{aligned}P&=x(108-x)^2\\&=x(11664-216x+x^2)\\&=11664x-216x^2+x^3\\&=x^3-216x^2+11664x\end{aligned}

Now, differentiate P with respect to x, and we get,

\begin{aligned}\frac{dP}{dx}&=3x^2-432x+11664\\&=x^2-144x+3888\end{aligned}

Solving the above equation to zero, we get,

\begin{aligned}x^2-144x+3888&=0\\x^2-36x-108x+3888&=0\\x(x-36)-108(x-36)&=0\\(x-108)(x-36)&=0\\x&=\text{108 or 36}\end{aligned}

Substitute values of x in y=108-x, to get values of y.

If we substitute x=108, we get the y value as zero which doesn't give the required solution.

But, if we substitute x=36, we get,

\begin{aligned}y&=108-36\\y&=72\end{aligned}

Thus, the two positive numbers are 36 and 72.

Classify the statements based on whether they are represented by +3 or -3.
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

If you deposit money, your bank account shows it as +3

3 degrees below zero = - 3 o F which is darn cold.

3 floors below ground level = - 3 floors below ground level

3 feet above sea level = +3 feet

3 degrees about 0 = + 3

3 dollars lost = -3 dollars.
