Answer:

The price per wind chime that will maximize revenue = $ 315

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - A gift shop sells 160 wind chimes per month at $150 each. the owners estimate that for each $15 increase in price, they will sell 5 fewer wind chimes per month.

To find - Find the price per wind chime that will maximize revenue.

Proof -

Given that,

Total Wind chimes selling = 160

Price of each Wind chime = $150

Now,

Given that, for each $15 increase in price, they will sell 5 fewer wind chimes per month.

So,

Let the price = 150 + 15x

So,

Number of wind Chimes sold per month = 160 - 5x

So,

Total Revenue, R = (150 + 15x)(160 - 5x)

                             = 24000 - 750x + 2400x - 75x²

                             = 24000 + 1650x - 75x²

⇒R(x) = 24000 + 1650x - 75x²

Differentiate R with respect to x , we get

R'(x) = 1650 - 150x

Now,

For Maximize Revenue, Put R'(x) = 0

⇒1650 - 150x = 0

⇒150x = 1650

⇒x = 1650/150

⇒x = 11

∴ we get

Price per Wind chime = $ 150 + 15(11)

                                    = $ 150 + 165

                                    = $ 315

So,

The price per wind chime that will maximize revenue = $ 315

How do you decide where to shade an inequality whose boundary does not go through the origin?
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

basically, you have to look at the inequality. it is the same all around. so if the inequality has less than or equal too, or greater than or equal too, you need to have a thick solid line representing your function. if it is just less than or greater than, use a dotted line. to determine whether the shading goes above or below, you look at the in equality. greater than is above, and less than is below

A biologist took a count of the number of migrating waterfowl at a particular lake, and recounted the lake's population of water
taurus [48]

Quadratic function ( in standard form ):

y = a x² + b x + c

x = 0:

635 = 0 + 0 + c

c = 635

x = 1:

644 = a + b + 635

a + b = 9

x = 2:

719 = 4 a + 2 b + 635

4 a + 2 b = 84

and now we have a system:

a + b = 9   /  * ( - 2 )

4 a + 2 b = 84

-------------------------

- 2 a + 2 b = - 18

+

 4 a + 2 b  = 84

-------------------------

  2 a = 66

 a = 33;   b = - 24;

 Function is:

 f ( x ) = 33 x² - 24 x + 635

f ( 8 ) = 33 * 64 - 24 * 8 + 635 = 2,112 - 192 + 635 = 2,555

 Answer: The number of waterfowl on week 8 would be 2,555.

Use the information in the figure. If F=116, find E<br><br> 58<br> 32<br> 116<br> 64
My name is Ann [436]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

  • m∠F = 116°

We have to find the value of m∠E.

Here, two sides are equal, thus it is an isosceles triangle. As the two sides are equal, so their angles must be equal. So, ∠E and ∠D will be equal. Let us assume the measures of both ∠E and ∠D as x.

→ Sum of all the interior angles of ∆ = 180°

→ ∠E + ∠D + ∠F = 180°

→ 116° + x + x = 180°

→ 2x = 180° – 116°

→ 2x = 64°

→ x = 64° ÷ 2

→<u> x = 32°</u>

Henceforth,

→ m∠E = x

→ m∠E = 32°
