Answer:

I'm pretty sure that the answers would go, Wrong, increased, 9 1/2 points, 6 5/8 points, dropped, 12 3/4 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why it would be wrong is because the amount of points lost was less than the total amount of points gained.

In week one and two the company gained 9 1/2 points and 6 5/8 points. When you add them together, you get 16 1/8 points.

In week three the company lost 12 3/4 points. If you multiply the fraction to change the denominator to 8, the mixed fraction becomes 12 6/8.

16 1/8 - 12 6/8 = 3 3/8

As you can see, there are still points left over.

In the fourth week, they ended up losing all of their points and then some more, but from my understanding it's just asking about the third week.

Hope that this helps!

A carpentry shop currently sells 66000 decoy ducks per year at a cost of 16 dollars each. In the previous year when they raised

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

19 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Buckle up! This is a good one!</h2>

First we have to find the line that goes trough the two points. And it has the form :

$y=mx+b$

<em>m is often called the slope.</em>

Given the two points (66000, 16) and (51000, 21) we find m with this formula:

$m=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }\\m=\frac{21-16}{51000-66000} \\m=-\frac{5}{15000} \\m=-\frac{1}{3000}$

We pick the point (51000,21) and plug it into the equation of the line and we find b:

$y= mx + b\\21=(-\frac{1}{3000} )(51000)+b\\21=-17+b\\21+17=b=38$

<h3>And we have got our line equation</h3>

$y= -\frac{1}{3000}x + 38\\$

<u>Where x represents the quantity and y represents the price.</u>

<u />

<h2>The revenue</h2>

The revenue is price times quantity, since price is y and quantity is x, we get

$y=-\frac{1}{3000} x+38\\y*x=x*(-\frac{1}{3000} x+38)\\yx=-\frac{1}{3000} x^2+38x\\R(x)=-\frac{1}{3000} x^2+38x$

<h3>to maximize the revenue, we get the first derivative:</h3>

$R(x)=-\frac{1}{3000} x^2+38x\\R'(x)=-(2)\frac{1}{3000} x+38\\R'(x)=-\frac{2}{3000} x+38\\\\R'(x)=-\frac{1}{1500} x+38\\\\$

$R'(x)=-\frac{1}{1500} x+38=0\\38=\frac{1}{1500} x\\38*1500=x=57000$

So the quantity that maximizes revenue is 57000,

<h3>let's find out the price by plugging it into the equation:</h3>

$y= -\frac{1}{3000}x + 38\\y= -\frac{1}{3000}(57000) + 38\\y= -19 + 38\\y=19$

<h2>And there you go! 19 dollars is the price the carpentry shop should charge per decoy duck.</h2>

What is five×fivewhat is the answer for 4 x 5

Mandarinka [93]

Well
<span>
4 x 5 = 20

and

5 x 5 = 25

I'm sure a calculator could help you out with this, But if you don't have access to a calculator I'll show you how to multiply. It's just like adding, Let's use 6 x 7 for example. Take the first number ( Which is 6 in this case ) and look at the second number ( Which would be 7 ) The second number represents how many times you would add the first number together. So:

6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 42 ( We add 6 together 7 times )

So

6 x 7 = 42

There are faster methods but this is probably the best way to start out.
