Answer:

5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets suppose a quantity A that has a value of x

A = x

25% of A is = x/4

now adding this 25% to get 25% increase in the original value

A' = x+ x/4

A' = 5x/4

A' = 5*A/4

This means that , in order to increase the value by 25% in a single step we must multiply the the original value by 5/4.

Find the marginal profit of C(x)=5x^2, R(x)=x^3+7x+10 and find all values of x for which the marginal profit is zero.

jonny [76]

Marginal profit, P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

P(x) = x³ - 5x² + 7x + 10

x³ - 5x² + 7x + 10 = 0
If you solve it, you get x = -0.839 where P(x) is zero

the sum of three integers is 92. the second number is three times the first number. the third number is ten less than twice the

Elanso [62]

1st number = x

2nd number = 3x

3rd number = 2x-10

x +3x + 2x-10 =92

6x - 10 = 92

6x =102

x = 102/6

x = 17

1st number = 17

2nd number = 17*3 = 51

3rd number = 17 *2 = 34-10 = 24

17 + 51 + 24 = 92

3 numbers are 17, 51 and 24

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

x/3 + 10 =15

Subtract 10 from each side

x/3+10-10 =15-10

x/3 = 5

Multiply each side by 3

x/3*3 = 5*3

x=15
