A movie theater has been charging $10.00 per person and selling about 500 tickets on a typical weeknight. After surveying their

customers, the theater management estimates that for every 50 cents that they lower the price, the number of moviegoers will increase by 50 per night. Find the demand function. (Let x represent the number of tickets sold and p represent the price.)

Answer:

p(x) = -0.01x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let x represent the number of tickets, and p the charges

(x_1,p_1) = (500,10)

A reduction of 50c gives an increment of 50 tickets.

This gives:

(x_2,p_2) = (500+50,10-0,5) ---- 50c = \$0.5

(x_2,p_2) = (550,9.5)

Required

Determine the demand function

First, calculate the slope:

m = \frac{p_2 - p_1}{x_2 - x_1}

m = \frac{9.5 - 10}{550-500}

m = \frac{-0.5}{50}

m = -0.01

So, the equation is:

p = m(x - x_1) + y_1

p = -0.01(x - 500) +10

p = -0.01x + 5 +10

p = -0.01x + 15

Hence, the function is:

p(x) = -0.01x + 15

Given the lengths of two sides of a triangle, find the range for the length of the third side (between what two numbers should t
frozen [14]

Answer:

The length of the third side of given triangle lies between 6.5 and 19.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of cosine is as follows

 c^{2} =a^{2}+b^{2}+2abcos\alpha---------------1

⇒ a and b are the given sides of the triangle and c is the third side, and \alpha is the angle between a and b .

In equation 1 , the maximum and minimum values of cos\alpha are 1 and -1.

 so the value of c  lies in between

⇒ \sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}-2ab   } and  \sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}+2ab  }   = |a-b| and |a+b|

Given a=13.2 and b=6.7 so the the side lies in between  |13.2-6.7| and |13.2+6.7|

  so the third side lies between 6.5 and 19.9
