Maximizing revenue. Edwards University wants to determine what price to charge for tickets to football games. At $18 per ticket,

attendance averages 40,000 people per game. Every decrease of $3 to the ticket price adds 10,000 people to the average attendance. Every person at a game spends an average of $4.50 on concessions. What price per ticket will maximize revenue

Answer:

New price is $12.75

New attendance is 57500

Step-by-step explanation:

For starters, we use the relation.

18 - 3x

Since we don't know the number of times we're expected to deduct $3 from the price.

Again, we have 40000 + 10000x on another hand. Question says to add 10000 people everytime $3 is deducted.

Since (40000 + 10000x) is the number of people, we multiply it by $4.50, the average amount each person spends is then gotten to be

(18 - 3x) (40000 + 10000x) + (40000 + 10000x) (4.5) = 0

Expanding the bracket, we have

[720000 + 60000x - 30000x²] + [180000 + 45000x] = 0, solving further, we have

900000 + 105000x - 30000x² = 0 or

-30000x² + 105000x + 900000 = 0

Then, we find the maximum of a quadratic, by finding the axis of symmetry. Use x = -b/2a

x = -105000 / 2 * -30000

x = -105000 / -60000

x = 1.75

From our earlier equations, the new price then is

18 - 3(1.75) = 18 - 5.25 = $12.75

The new attendance also is

40000 + 10000(1.75) =

40000 + 17500 = 57500

Answer:

Perimeter of triangle J= 18.0 units (3 s.f.)

Perimeter of triangle K= 19.0 units (3 s.f.)

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of each side of the triangle can be found using the distance formula below:

\boxed{d=  \sqrt{(y1- y2)^{2} + (x1 - x2)^{2}  } }

Please see the attached pictures for full solution.

A=8, b=5, C=90 degree; Find c, A, and B<br><br> This is for the law of sine and cosine
brilliants [131]

Answer:

• c = √89 ≈ 9.434

• A = arcsin(8/√89) ≈ 57.995°

• B = arcsin(5/√89) ≈ 32.005°

Step-by-step explanation:

By the law of cosines, ...

c² = a² + b² -2ab·cos(C)

Since c=90°, cos(C) = 0 and this reduces to the Pythagorean theorem for this right triangle.

c = √(8² +5²) = √89 ≈ 9.434

Then by the law of sines (or the definition of the sine of an angle), ...

sin(A) = a/c·sin(C) = a/c = 8/√89

A = arcsin(8/√89) ≈ 57.995°

sin(B) = b/c·sin(C) = b/c = 5/√89

B = arcsin(5/√89) ≈ 32.005°

Which inequality is shown in this graph
Katena32 [7]

ANSWER

y \leqslant   - 2x - 2

EXPLANATION

The boundary line passes through (-2,2) and (0,-2).

The slope of this line is

m =  \frac{ - 2 - 2}{0 -  - 2}

m =  \frac{ - 4}{2}  =  - 2

The y-intercept is , c=-2.

The slope-intercept form of this line is given by;

y = mx + c

We substitute values to obtain;

y =  - 2x - 2

Since the lower half-plane is shaded the required inequality is

y \leqslant   - 2x - 2
