An aircraft manufacturer wants to determine the best selling price for a new airplane. The company estimates that the initial co

st of designing the airplane and setting up the factories in which to build it will be 500 million dollars. The additional cost of manufacturing each plane can be modeled by the function below, where x is the number of aircraft produced and m is the manufacturing cost, in millions of dollars.
m(x) = 20x - 5x^3/4 + 0.01x^2

Answer:

(a) C(x)=500+20x-5x^{\frac{3}{4}}+0.01x^2

    p(x)=320-7.7p

    R(x)=(320-7.7p)p=320p-7.7p^2

(b) x=82 \text{planes}

(c) p=\$30.91 M\;\; \text{per plane}

(d) maximum profit =\$ 15.90M

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The company estimates that the initial cost of designing the aeroplane and setting up the factories in which to build it will be 500 million dollars.

The additional cost of manufacturing each plane can be modelled by the function.

m(x)=20x-5x^{\frac{3}{4}}+0.01x^2

(a)  Find the cost, demand (or price), and revenue functions.

   C(x)=500+20x-5x^{\frac{3}{4}}+0.01x^2

   p(x)=320-7.7p

   R(x)=(320-7.7p)p=320p-7.7p^2

(b)  Find the production level that maximizes profit.

    f=R(x)-C(x)

 \Rightarrow f=320p-7.7p^2-(500+20x-5x^{\frac{3}{4}}+0.01x^2)

\Rightarrow df=320dp-15.4pdp-20dx+5(\frac{3}{4} )x^{\frac{-1}{4} }dx-0.02xdx

     x=320-7.7p

     p=\frac{320-x}{7.7}

    \frac{dp}{dx} = \frac{-1}{7.7}

\frac{df}{dx}=\frac{320}{-7.7} -\frac{15.4(320-x) }{7.7(\frac{-1}{7.7} )}-20+5\frac{3}{4} x^{\frac{-1}{4}} -0.02x=0

    \Rightarrow -41.5584+83.1169-0.2597x-20+3.75x^{\frac{-1}{4} }-0.02x=0

   \Rightarrow 21.5585+3.75x^{\frac{-1}{4} }-0.279x=0

   \Rightarrow x=82 \text{planes}

(c)  Find the associated selling price of the aircraft that maximizes profit.

  p=\frac{320-82}{7.7}

\Rightarrow p=\$30.91 M\;\; \text{per plane}

(d)  Find the maximum profit.

Manufacturing cost of one plane is:

m(1)=20-5+0.01

         =\$15.01 M

maximum profit =\$(30.91-15.01)M

                           =\$15.90M

What is the area of triangle ABC Round to the nearest
scoray [572]

Answer:

A=61.8\ units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The area of triangle ABC applying the law of sines is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}(AC)(BC)sin(C)

substitute the given values

A=\frac{1}{2}(10)(13)sin(72^o)

A=61.8\ units^2
