Answer:

a. The start-up cost for the teenagers company is $50

b. The number of mugs the teenager must sell to break even are 5 mugs or 25 mugs

c. The number of mugs that will give maximum profit is 15 mugs

d. The profit if she sells 10 mugs is $30

Step-by-step explanation:

The given profit function for selling <em>x</em> number of mugs is presented as follows;

f(x) = -0.4·x² + 12·x - 50

a. The start-up cost in dollars is given by the value of the profit function at the start, where, x = 0, as follows;

Start-up cost = f(0) = -0.4×0² + 12×0 - 50 = -50

The negative sign represents amount put in the business

The start-up cost = (The initial) $50 put into the business.

b. The break even point is the point where, the revenue and costs are equal

At break even point; Revenue = Cost

∴ Profit, at break even point, f(x) = Revenue - Cost = 0

From the profit function, we get;

At the break even point, f(x) = 0 = -0.4·x² + 12·x - 50

Dividing by -0.4 gives;

0/(-0.4) = 0 = (-0.4·x² + 12·x - 50)/(-0.4) = x² - 30 + 125

0 = x² - 30 + 125

∴ (x - 25)·(x - 5) = 0

The number of mugs the teenager must sell before she breaks even, x = 5 mugs or x = 25 mugs.

c. From the general form of a quadratic equation,  which is; y = a··x² + b·x + c, the formula for the x-values at the maximum point is; x = -b/(2·a)

Comparing the profit function to the general form of the quadratic equation we have at the maximum point;

x = -12/(2×(-0.4)) = 15

Therefore, the number of mugs that will give maximum profit, x = 15 mugs.

d. The profit from selling 10 mugs, f(10) is given as follows;

f(10) = -0.4 × 10² + 12 × 10 - 50 = 30

The profit from selling 10 mugs, f(10) = $30

PLEASE HELLP Eric plays basketball and volleyball for a total of 95 minutes every day. He plays basketball for 25 minutes longer
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Part A:

(1) x + y = 95

(2) x = y + 25

Part B:

The number of minutes Eric spends playing volleyball each day is 35 minutes

Part C:

It is not possible for Eric to have spent exactly 35 minutes playing basketball

Step-by-step explanation:

The total time Eric plays basketball and volleyball = 95 minutes

The time duration Eric plays basket ball = x

The time duration Eric plays volleyball = y

Part A:

The pair of relationships between the number of minutes Eric plays basketball (x) and the number of minutes he plays volleyball (y) are;

(1) x + y = 95

(2) x = y + 25

Part B:

By substituting the value of x in equation (2) into equation (1), we have;

x + y = (y + 25) + y = 95

2·y + 25 = 95

2·y = 95 - 25 = 70

y = 70/2 = 35 minutes

Therefore, Eric spends 35 minutes playing volleyball every day

Part C:

It is not possible for Eric to have spent only 35 minutes playing basketball because, given that he plays basketball for 25 minutes longer than he plays volley, the number of minutes he spends playing volleyball will then be given as follows;

x = y + 25

35 = y + 25

y = 35 - 25 = 10 minutes

The total time = x + y = 10 + 35 = 45 minutes ≠ 95 minutes.

Find the common ratio for the following sequence .1, .01, .001
morpeh [17]

Answer:

0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The <em>common ratio</em> of a sequence is the number you multiply one term to get the next one. Here, we multiply 0.1 by 0.1 to get 0.01, and 0.01 by 0.1 to get 0.001, so our common ratio is 0.1.

A contractor is in charge of hiring people for a construction project. The number of days it would take to complete the project
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

\text{Domain of x}=[1,\infty), x \in Z^+

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function: f(x)=\dfrac{280}{x},$ where:

f(x) =number of days it would take to complete the project

x =number of full-time workers.

\text{When x=0, }f(x)=\dfrac{280}{0}=$Undetermined\\\text{When x=1, }f(x)=\dfrac{280}{1}=$280 days\\\text{When x=280, }f(x)=\dfrac{280}{280}=$1 day\\\text{When x=560, }f(x)=\dfrac{280}{560}=$0.5 days

The domain of a function is the complete set of possible values of the independent variable.

In this case, the independent variable is x, the number of full-time workers. We have shown that x cannot be zero as there must be at least a worker on ground.

Therefore, an appropriate domain of the function f(x) is the set of positive integers (from 1 to infinity).

\text{Domain of x}=[1,\infty), x \in Z^+
