Answer:

Sum = 15 8/15, Difference = 1 2/15

Step-by-step explanation:

8⅓, 71/5

A. Sum

8⅓ + 7 1/5

Convert to improper fraction

25/3 + 36/5

Find the LCM of 3 and 5. The result is 15. Divide 15 by the denominator of each fraction and multiply the result obtained with the numerator. The result is shown below:

[(25×5) + (36×3)] / 15

[125 + 108] / 15

233 / 15

Convert to mixed fraction

15 8/15

B. Difference

8⅓ – 7 1/5

Convert to improper fraction

25/3 – 36/5

Find the LCM of 3 and 5. The result is 15. Divide 15 by the denominator of each fraction and multiply the result obtained with the numerator. The result is shown below:

[(25×5) – (36×3)] / 15

[125 – 108] / 15

17 / 15

Convert to mixed fraction

1 2/15

SUMMARY:

Sum = 15 8/15, Difference = 1 2/15

The price-demand and cost functions for the production of microwaves are given as
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

<u>ALTERNATIVE 1</u>

a. Find the profit function in terms of x.

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

P(x) = (-60x² + 275x) - (50000 + 30x)

P(x) = -60x² + 245x - 50000

b. Find the marginal cost as a function of x.

C(x) = 50000 + 30x

C'(x) = 0 + 30 = 30

c. Find the revenue function in terms of x.

R(x) = x · p

R(x) = x · (275 - 60x)

R(x) = -60x² + 275x

d. Find the marginal revenue function in terms of x.

R'(x) = (-60 · 2x) + 275

R'(x) = -120x + 275

The answers do not make a lot of sense, specially the profit and marginal revenue functions. I believe that the question was not copied correctly and the price function should be p = 275 - x/60

<u>ALTERNATIVE 2</u>

a. Find the profit function in terms of x.

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

P(x) = (-x²/60 + 275x) - (50000 + 30x)

P(x) = -x²/60 + 245x - 50000

b. Find the marginal cost as a function of x.

C(x) = 50000 + 30x

C'(x) = 0 + 30 = 30

c. Find the revenue function in terms of x.

R(x) = x · p

R(x) = x · (275 - x/60)

R(x) = -x²/60 + 275x

d. Find the marginal revenue function in terms of x.

R(x) = -x²/60 + 275x

R'(x) = -x/30 + 275

There is a mound of g pounds of gravel in a quarry. Throughout the day, 200 pounds of gravel is added to the mound. Two orders o
Delicious77 [7]

Starting amount = g

Throughout the day 200 pounds is added and 1400 pounds is removed ( 700 x 2 = 1400)

Final weight is 1,100 pounds

g + 200 - 1400 = 1100

Simplify:

g - 1200 = 1100

Add 1200 to both sides:

g = 2300 pounds

garri49 [273]

Answer:

D. 14x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2(L + W)

P = 2(4x + 5 + 3x - 7)

P = 2(7x - 2)

P = 14x - 4
