A baseball team plays in a stadium that holds 50000 spectators. When the ticket price is $10, the average attendance is 27000. W

hen the price is lowered to $6, the average attendance rose to 39000. Find a demand function, D(q), where q is the quantity or number of spectators and D(q) is linear.

Answer:

the answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Demand seems to be based on price.

Therefore we must consider two things:

that "x" is equal to the price and that "y" is equal to the average attendance.

Thus:

the two points would be:

(x1, y1) = (10,27000)

(x2, y2) = (6.39000)

The slope of a straight line is given by:

m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

we replace:

m = (39000 - 27000) / (6 - 10) = 12000 / -4 = -3000

The equation of a straight line can be expressed like this

y = m * x + b.

where

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

we replace

y = -3000 * x + b.

To solve for b, replace x and y with the value of one of the points on the line.

We choose (6.39000). and we replace:

39000 = -3000 * 6 + b

39000 = -18000 + b

39000 + 18000 = b

b = 57000.

if we replace we have:

the equation becomes y = -3000 * x + 57000

since it is the demand and * x is the price.

t = d (x), therefore the equation becomes

d (x) = -3000 * x + 57000.

d (x) = 57000 - 3000 * x.

when x = 0, the price is 0 and the demand will be 57000, which will be more than the stadium can contain because the stadium can only contain 50,000.

So:

when x = 6, the price is 6 and the demand is 57000 - 18000 = 39000.

when x = 10, the price is 10 and the demand is 57000 - 30000 = 27000.

ludmilkaskok [199]
Given:
circular pool with a diameter of 25 meters.

find: area of the bottom of the pool.

It is safe to assume that the diameter of the pool is the same from the top of the pool to the bottom of the pool.

Area of a circle = π r²
where: 
π = 3.14
r = diameter / 2 = 25 meters / 2= 12.5 meters

Area of a circle = 3.14 * (12.5m)²
                        = 3.14 * 156.25 m²
Area of a circle = 490.625 m²

490.625 m² round to the nearest tenth is 490.60 m²

We round down because the number after 6 is 2. Whenever a number to be rounded off is followed by 0,1,2,3,and 4. Then, the number is rounded down.

The measures of the obtuse angles in the isosceles trapezoid are five more than four times the measures of the acute angles. Wri
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

a. i. x + y = 180  (1) and  x - 4y = 5   (2)

ii. The two acute angles are 35° each and the two obtuse angles are 145° each.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The measures of the obtuse angles in the isosceles trapezoid are five more than four times the measures of the acute angles. Write and solve a system of equations to find the measures of all the angles.

i. Write a system of equations to find the measures of all the angles.

Let x be the obtuse angles and y be the acute angles.

Since we have two obtuse angles at the top of the isosceles trapezoid and two acute angles at the bottom of the isosceles trapezoid, and also, since the sum of angles in a quadrilateral is 360, we have

2x + 2y = 360

x + y = 180  (1)

Its is also given that the measures of the obtuse angles in the isosceles trapezoid are five more than four times the measures of the acute angles.

So, x = 4y + 5   (2)

x - 4y = 5   (2)

So, our system of equations are

x + y = 180  (1) and  x - 4y = 5   (2)

ii. Solve a system of equations to find the measures of all the angles.

Since

x + y = 180  (1) and  x - 4y = 5   (2)

Subtracting (2) from (1), we have

x + y = 180  (1)

-

x - 4y = 5   (2)

5y = 175

dividing both sides by 5, we have

y = 175/5

y = 35°

From (1), x = 180° - y = 180° - 35° = 145°

So, the two acute angles are 35° each and the two obtuse angles are 145° each.
