Step-by-step explanation:
For this exercise it is important to remember that a Right triangle is a triangle that has an angle that measures 90 degrees.
According to the Altitude Rule, given a Right triangle, if you draw an altitude from the vertex of the angle that measures 90 degrees (The right angle) to the hypotenuse, the measure of that altitude is the geometric mean between the measures of the two segments of the hypotenuse.
In this case, you can identify that the altitude that goes from the vertex of the right angle () to the hypotenuse of the triangle, is:
Then, based on the Altitude Rule, you can set up the following proportion:
According to the Leg Rule, each leg is the mean proportional between the hypotenuse and the portion of the hypotenuse that is located directly below that leg of the triangle.
Knowing this, you can set up the following proportions:
Queremos maximizar el precio de tal forma que los ingresos no disminuyan.
Ese maximo precio es: $14,040.6
Sabemos que actualmente el precio es:
p = $6,000
El número de clientes es:
C = 120
Actualmente los ingresos son el producto de esos dos números, es decir:
ingresos = $6,000*120 = $720,000
Ahora sabemos que por cada incremento de $700 en el precio, el número de clientes decrece en 10.
Entonces podemos escribir el número de clientes como una ecuación lineal.
C(p) = a*p + b
tal que tenemos dos puntos en esa linea:
($6,000, 120)
($6,700, 110)
La pendiente es:
Entonces tenemos:
C(p) = (-10/$700)*p + b
Sabemos que:
C($6,000) = 120 = (-10/$700)*$6,000 + b
120 = -85.71 + b
120 + 85.71 = b =
Entonces la ecuación lineal es:
C(p) = (-10/$700)*p + 205.71
Los ingresos serán dados por:
ingresos = C(p)*p = (-10/$700)*p^2 + 205.71*p
Y queremos maximizar p de tal forma que esto sea igual a lo que obtuvimos antes:
(-10/$700)*p^2 + 205.71*p = $720,000
Entonces debemos resolver la ecuación cuadratica:
(-10/$700)*p^2 + 205.71*p - $720,000 = 0.
Las soluciones son dadas por la formula de Bhaskara.
La solución de maximo valor es:
p = (-205.71 - 195.45)/(-20/$700) = $14,040.6
