clusive. On the other hand, the profit on each seat will decrease 10 cents for each seat above 50.

8 0

Answer:

a. 65  seats

b. $422.50

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following two functions:

8 * x, {0 <= x <= 50}

x * (8 - 0.1 * (x - 50)), {x> 50}, solving we have:

-0.1 * x ^ 2 + 13 * x, {x> 50}

Now we derive both functions and we are left with:

8, {0 <= x <= 50}

-0.2 * x + 13 {x> 50}

we cannot equal to 0 the first function that is equal to 0, because it would be inconsistent, therefore we equal the second function to 0:

-0.2 * x + 13 = 0

0.2 * x = - 13

x = -13 / -0.2

x = 65

Now, test for increasing and decreasing on the intervals (0.65) and (65, infinity)

p '(60) = -0.2 * (60) + 13 = 1

since this value is positive the profit is increasing on (0.65)

p '(70) = -0.2 * (70) + 13 = -1

becuase this value is negative the profit is decreasing on (65, infinity)

Therefore 65 seats are needed to maximize profit

The maximum value would be:

P (65) = 0.1 * (65 ^ 2) + 13 * 65 = 422.5

That is, the maximum value is $ 422.50

Please help me, i don’t understand this question nor how to do it !!!!
Fantom [35]

Step-by-step explanation:

See attached picture.

First, compare the highest term of the dividend (x²) to the highest term of the divisor (x).  We need to multiply the divisor by x.

When we do that, we get x² + 5x.  Subtracting this from the dividend, we get -9x + 11.

Now repeat the process.  Compare the highest term of the new dividend (-9x) to the highest term of the divisor (x).  We need to multiply by -9.

When we do that, we get -9x − 45.  When we subtract from the new dividend, we get 56.

So the quotient is x − 9, and the remainder is 56.
