Answer:

  increasing 7/24 ft per week

Step-by-step explanation:

An expression for the length of the base can be written from the Pythagorean theorem relation between the sides of the triangle.

If the height is 7-x, where x is the number of weeks after the height is 7 feet, then the base length is ...

  b = √(25^2 -(7-x)^2) = √(625 -(49 -14x +x^2)) = √(-x^2 +14x +576)

Then the rate of change of b with respect to x is ...

  b' = (-2x +14)/(2√(-x^2 +14x +576))

When x=0, the rate of change of the base is ...

  b' = 14/(2√576) = 7/24

The base is increasing 7/24 ft per week when the height is 7 ft.

Answer:

A.true

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a quadratic function in standard form is always all real numbers, meaning you can substitute any real number for x. The range of a function is the set of all real values of y that you can get by plugging real numbers into x.

The cost C (in dollars) for the care and maintenance of a horse and carriage is C=15x+2000 where x is the number of rides.
MissTica

Answer: 100 rides are needed to break even.


Step-by-step explanation:

We have given the cost function

C(x)=15x+2000 where x is the number of rides.

And rides cost 35$

⇒ revenue function would be 35 times x

i.e.R(x)=35 x , where x is the number of rides.

Break even point of a firm occurs when at a certain point x the total cost equals to the total revenue.

i.e. at break even point

total revenue=total cost

⇒35x=15x+2000

⇒35-15x=2000[subtract 15x from both sides]

⇒20x=2000 [simplify]

⇒x=2000/20[dividing both sides with 20]

⇒x=100

∴ 100  rides are needed to break even.
