This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A university is trying to determine what price to charge for tickets to football games. At a price of ​$24 per​ ticket, attendance averages 40,000 people per game. Every decrease of ​$4 adds 10,000 people to the average number. Every person at the game spends an average of ​$4 on concessions. What price per ticket should be charged in order to maximize​ revenue? How many people will attend at that​ price?

Answer:

a) price per ticket = $18

b) 55,000 will attend at that price

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

price of ticket = $24

so cost of ticket = 24 - x

every decrease of $4 adds 10,000 people

for $1 adds 2,500 people

Total people = 40000 + 2500x

Revenue function = people × cost + people × 4

so

R(x) = (40000 + 2500x)(24 - x) + (40000 + 2500x)4

R(x) = 960,000 - 40000x + 60000x - 2500x² + 160,000 + 10000x

R(x) = 1120000 + 30000x - 2500x²

R(x) = -2500x² + 30000x + 1120000

now for maximum revenue; R'(x) is to zero

so

R'(x) = d/dx(  -2500x² + 30000x + 1120000 ) = 0

⇒ -5000x + 30000 + 0 = 0

⇒ -5000x + 30000 = 0

⇒ 5000x = 30000

x = 30000 / 5000

x = 6

R'(X) = -5000 < 0 ⇒ MAXIMUM

∴ Revenue is maximum at x = 6

so cost of ticket ;

price per ticket = (24 - x) = 24 - 6 = $18

so price per ticket = $18

Number of people = 40000 + 2500x

= 40000 + (2500 × 6)

= 40000 + 15,000

= 55,000

Therefore, 55,000 will attend at that price

-(-10x-8)=-(4x+10)<br> A)-4<br> B)-2<br> C)-3<br> D)3<br> show work
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

<h3>             None of given </h3><h3>                  x = -1²/₇ </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

-(-10x - 8) = -(4x + 10)

  10x + 8 = -4x - 10

      -8            -8

     10x  =  -4x - 18

      +4x     +4x

     14x = -18

      ÷14    ÷14

      x = -¹⁸/₁₄ = -⁹/₇ = -1²/₇

I think you meant -(10x-8)=-(4x+10)

Then:

-(10x - 8) = -(4x + 10)

  -10x + 8 = -4x - 10

      -8            -8

     -10x  =  -4x - 18

       +4x     +4x

     -6x  =  -18

      ÷(-6)    ÷(-6)

<h3>         x = 3     D)</h3>

This is just like working with money in a bank account
that's earning 12% interest.

If the population is 422,000 today, and
' n ' is the number of years after today,
then

         Population  =  422,000 (1.12)ⁿ .
