Find the profit-maximizing price.

Mathematics
1 answer:

Answer: \$11.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Demand function is p=22-2q

The average cost function is c=2+q

Total revenue is the product of demand and the price per unit.

r=\left(22-2q\right)q

Profit is given by the difference of the total revenue and the cost

\Rightarrow P=r-c\\\Rightarrow P=22q-2q^2-2-q\\\Rightarrow P=-2q^2+21q-2

Find the derivative of profit to get the maximum profit

\Rightarrow P'=-4q+21\\\text{Put the derivative equal to 0 to get the maximum profit}\\\\\Rightarrow q=\dfrac{21}{4}

Put q in the equation of demand to get the price

\Rightarrow p=22-2\times \dfrac{21}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow p=22-10.5\\\Rightarrow p=\$11.5

Please help..If you know the correct answer​
never [62]

Answer:

AC is the longest side

AB is the shortest side

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the third angle

A+B+C = 180

55+80+C = 180

135+C = 180

C = 180-135

C =45

The longest side is opposite the largest angle

B is the largest angle so AC is the longest side

C is the the smallest angle so AB is the shortest side
