Solution :

Demand for cola : 100 – 34x + 5y

Demand for cola : 50 + 3x – 16y

Therefore, total revenue :

x(100 – 34x + 5y) + y(50 + 3x – 16y)

R(x,y)  = $100x-34x^2+5xy+50y+3xy-16y^2$

$R(x,y) = 100x-34x^2+8xy+50y-16y^2$

In order to maximize the revenue, set

$R_x=0, \ \ \ R_y=0$

$R_x=\frac{dR }{dx} = 100-68x+8y$

$R_x=0$

$68x-8y=100$  .............(i)

$R_y=\frac{dR }{dx} = 50-32x+8y$

$R_y=0$

$8x-32y=-50$  .............(ii)

Solving (i) and (ii),

4 x (i)    ⇒       272x - 32y = 400

     (ii)   ⇒   (-<u>)     8x - 32y = -50   </u>

                        264x        = 450

∴   $x=\frac{450}{264}=\frac{75}{44}$

     $y=\frac{175}{88}$

So, x ≈  $ 1.70      and    y = $ 1.99

    R(1.70, 1.99) = $ 134.94

Thus, 1.70 dollars per cola

          1.99 dollars per iced ted to maximize the revenue.

Maximum revenue = $ 134.94

inna [77]

Answer:

462.5 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

You find out how many books she reads in 1 day then you can multiply it by 5 to get 5 days.

If she reads 185 in 2 days. Divide 185 by 2 to get 1 day.

185/2 = 92.5 pages

Now multiply 92.5 by 5 to get how many pages she read after 5 days.

92.5 x 5 =    462.5 pages

Find the value of the expression. 7! ÷ 3! 5,040 5,034 840 24
koban [17]
First, let's review what the "factorial operator"  !   means.

5! = 5*4*3*2*1.

3! = 3*2*1

7! = 7*6*5*4*3*2*1

Then:  

 7!         7*6*5*4*3*2*1       7*6*5*4         5040
----- = ----------------------- = ------------- = ----------- = 5040 (answer) 
 3!              3*2*1                     1                  1
