Answer:

a=17

Step-by-step explanation:

any number plus a negative number is basically subtracting the absolute value of the negative number. so 12 + 5 = 17

Answer:

a = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

a + (-5) = 12

Open the bracket;

a - 5 = 12

Add 5 to both sides

a - 5 + 5 = 12 + 5

Therefore,

a = 17

You have just opened a new dance club, Swing Haven, but are unsure of how high to set the cover charge (entrance fee). One week

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

a) The demand function is

$q(p) = -4 p + 107$

b) The nightly revenue is

$R(p) = -4 p^2 + 107 p$

c) The profit function is

$P(p) = -4 p^2 + 133.75 p - 939$

d) The entrance fees that allow Swing Haven to break even are between 10.03 and 23.41 dollars per guest.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Lets find the slope s of the demand:

$s = \frac{79-43}{7-16} = \frac{36}{-9} = -4$

Since the demand takes the value 79 in 7, then

$q(p) = -4 (p-7) + 79 = -4 p + 107$

b) The nightly revenue can be found by multiplying q by p

$R(p) = p*q(p) = p*( -4 p + 107) = -4 p^2 + 107 p$

c) The profit function is obtained from substracting the const function C(p) from the revenue function R(p)

$P(p) = R(p) - C(p) = p*q(p) = -4 p^2 + 107 p - (-26.75p + 939) = \\\\-4 p^2 + 133.75 p - 939$

d) Lets find out the zeros and positive interval of P. Since P is a quadratic function with negative main coefficient, then it should have a maximum at the vertex, and between the roots (if any), the function should be positive. Therefore, we just need to find the zeros of P

$r_1, r_2 = \frac{-133.75 \,^+_-\, \sqrt{133.75^2-4*(-4)*(-939)} }{-8} = \frac{-133.75 \,^+_-\, 53.526}{-8} \\r_1 = 10.03\\r_2 = 23.41$

Therefore, the entrance fees that allow Swing Haven to break even are between 10.03 and 23.41 dollars per guest.

grandymaker [24]

I got 39 tables.
134+167=301
301/7=43
Total amount of people =344
344/9=38.222 which you would round to 39 tables

If two supplementary angles are in the ratio of 4:5 the measure of the larger angle is

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angles be 4x , 5x

4x + 5x = 180 { supplementary}

9x = 180

x = 180/9

x = 20

Larger angle= 5x = 5* 20 = 100

hey, i have this question for algebra nation and i have no clue how to work this problem out... can you please help me?

irina1246 [14]

In algebra the notation is basically just a number, for example, 10, and we take it to the 10th power, you just take the decimal at the end of the 10 and move it 10 spaces to the right, if the number is negative you will move the decimal to the left 10 spaces, the 10th power is a variable and is different with every question
