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

Guys what is the definition of consecutive numbers? Anyone know? 20 points for first answer!!
trapecia [35]

They are integers that follow one right after another. For example the set {1,2,3,4,5} represents consecutive numbers. Another example would be {9,10,11,12,13}

In general, if x is some integer, then x+1 is the next integer right after x, and x+2 is right after x+1 and so on. The list is {x, x+1, x+2, x+3, ...} representing any general set of consecutive numbers.

The investment will be worth $4686.62 after 5 years.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Principal, P = 3700

Rate, r = 4.75% = 0.0475

Number of years, t = 5 years

Number of times compounded, n = 5 times

Amount = P(1 + r/n)^nt

⇒ 3700 (1 + 0.0475/5)^25

⇒ 3700 (5.0475/5)^25

⇒ 3700 (1.0095)^25

⇒ 4686.62

∴ Amount = $4686.62
