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

The projectile motion of an object can be modeled using s(t)=gt^2+v0t+s0, where g is the acceleration due to gravity, t is the t
RSB [31]

Answer:

S(t) = -4.9t^2 + Vot + 282.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the rocket is launched from the ground, So = 0 and S(t) = 0

Using s(t)=gt^2+v0t+s0 to get time t

Where g acceleration due to gravity = -4.9m/s^2. and

initial velocity = 39.2 m/a

0 = -4.9t2 + 39.2t

4.9t = 39.2

t = 8s

Substitute t in the model equation

S(t) = -49(8^2) + 3.92(8) + So

Let S(t) =0

0 = - 313.6 + 31.36 + So

So = 282.24m

The equation that can be used to model the height of the rocket after t seconds will be:

S(t) = -4.9t^2 + Vot + 282.24

What is the average rate of change of the function from x = 0 to x = 2?.
irina1246 [14]

The average rate of change of the function from x = 0 to x = 2 is -2

From the complete question (see attachment), we have the following ordered pair when x = 0 and x = 2

(x,y) = \{(0,10)\ (2,6)\}

The average rate of change is calculated using:

\Delta x = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}

So, we have:

\Delta x = \frac{6-10}{2-0}

Evaluate common terms

\Delta x = \frac{-4}{2}

Divide -4 by 2

\Delta x = -2

Hence, the average rate of change of the function from x = 0 to x = 2 is -2
