Equilateral triangles have three equal angles, so we right away know that x=60º. Then, we just solve (3(60)-70)º, which is 110º, for the answer.

Answer:

$(a)$ $C(x)=500+20x-5x^{\frac{3}{4}}+0.01x^2$

$p(x)=320-7.7p$

$R(x)=(320-7.7p)p=320p-7.7p^2$

$(b)$ $x=82 \text{planes}$

$(c)$ $p=\$30.91 M\;\; \text{per plane}$

$(d)$ maximum profit $=\$ 15.90M$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The company estimates that the initial cost of designing the aeroplane and setting up the factories in which to build it will be 500 million dollars.

The additional cost of manufacturing each plane can be modelled by the function.

$m(x)=20x-5x^{\frac{3}{4}}+0.01x^2$

$(a)$ Find the cost, demand (or price), and revenue functions.

$C(x)=500+20x-5x^{\frac{3}{4}}+0.01x^2$

$p(x)=320-7.7p$

$R(x)=(320-7.7p)p=320p-7.7p^2$

$(b)$ Find the production level that maximizes profit.

$f=R(x)-C(x)$

$\Rightarrow f=320p-7.7p^2-(500+20x-5x^{\frac{3}{4}}+0.01x^2)$

$\Rightarrow df=320dp-15.4pdp-20dx+5(\frac{3}{4} )x^{\frac{-1}{4} }dx-0.02xdx$

$x=320-7.7p$

$p=\frac{320-x}{7.7}$

$\frac{dp}{dx} = \frac{-1}{7.7}$

$\frac{df}{dx}=\frac{320}{-7.7} -\frac{15.4(320-x) }{7.7(\frac{-1}{7.7} )}-20+5\frac{3}{4} x^{\frac{-1}{4}} -0.02x=0$

$\Rightarrow -41.5584+83.1169-0.2597x-20+3.75x^{\frac{-1}{4} }-0.02x=0$

$\Rightarrow 21.5585+3.75x^{\frac{-1}{4} }-0.279x=0$

$\Rightarrow x=82 \text{planes}$

$(c)$ Find the associated selling price of the aircraft that maximizes profit.

$p=\frac{320-82}{7.7}$

$\Rightarrow p=\$30.91 M\;\; \text{per plane}$

$(d)$ Find the maximum profit.

Manufacturing cost of one plane is:

$m(1)=20-5+0.01$

$=\$15.01 M$

maximum profit $=\$(30.91-15.01)M$

$=\$15.90M$

(2x-3)(x+5)<br> SHOW WORK FOR POINTS

vagabundo [1.1K]

(2x-3)(x+5)
Use foil to simplify, First multiply together the first terms of the pairs, then the outer terms, the middle terms, and finally the last terms. Then combine like terms.
2x^2+10x-3x-15 equals 2x^2+7x-15
