Discriminant of a Quadratic

The number D = b2 – 4ac determined from the coefficients of the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0. The discriminant reveals what type of roots the equation has.

Note: b2 – 4ac comes from the quadratic formula.

Let Ebe the set of all even positive integers in the universe Zof integers, and XE : Z R be the characteristic function of E.

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

$\mathbf{X_E (2) = 1}$

$\mathbf{X_E (-2) = 0 }$

$\mathbf{\{ x \in Z: X_E(x) = 1\} = E}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let E be the set of all even positive integers in the universe Z of integers,

i.e

E = {2,4,6,8,10 ....∞}

$X_E : Z \to R$ be the characteristic function of E.

∴

$X_E(x) = \left \{ {{1 \ if \ x \ \ is \ an \ element \ of \ E} \atop {0 \ if \ x \ \ is \ not \ an \ element \ of \ E}} \right.$

For XE(2)

$\mathbf{X_E (2) = 1}$ since x is an element of E (i.e the set of all even numbers)

For XE(-2)

$\mathbf{X_E (-2) = 0 }$ since - 2 is less than 0 , and -2 is not an element of E

For { x ∈ Z: XE(x) = 1}

This can be read as:

x which is and element of Z such that X is also an element of x which is equal to 1.

∴

$\{ x \in Z: X_E(x) = 1\} = \{ x \in Z | x \in E\} \\ \\ \mathbf{\{ x \in Z: X_E(x) = 1\} = E}$

E = {2,4,6,8,10 ....∞}

A manufacturer is planning to sell a new product at the price of 210 dollars per unit and estimates that if x thousand dollars i

sattari [20]

Answer:

Development costs: $2757

Promotion costs: $3155

Step-by-step explanation:

This might seem like a two-variable problem, but in actuality it's not - because the demand function is a sum of two components, each being independent and using only one variable, we can solve for the two separately.

Moreover, the price per unit and cost per unit is constant, so each product yields exactly $80 ($210 - $130).

Let's solve separately.

We need to maximize:

$80 * 160y/(y+4) - 1000y = $12800 * y/(y+4) - $1000*y

$80 * 170x/(x+7) - 1000x = $13600 * x/(x+7) - $1000*x

Let's go:

$12800 * y/(y+4) - $1000*y = $12800 * (1 - 4/(y+4)) - $1000y = $12800 - $51200/(y+4) - $1000*y

we analyze the derivative. $12800 is a constant, so we can skip it. Derivative of 1/(y+4) is -(y+4)^-2, derivative of $1000y is $1000.

deriv = $51200/(y+4)/(y+4) - $1000

We find the changepoints by analyzing $51200/(y+4)/(y+4) - $1000 = $0. We don't need to worry about y+4 = 0 because we cannot spend negative money on development/advertisement.

(y+4)^2 = $51.2

y+4 ~= 7.155417528 (or -y-4 = 7.1554... but it doesn't make sense because negative budget so we don't analyze).

y ~= 3.155417528

lastly, we should check that it's actually a maximum there - but it is, the original function goes to negative infinity.

rounding $1000y to the nearest dollar gives us $3155

Let's do the same for x:

$13600 * x/(x+7) - $1000*x = $13600 * (1 - 7/(x+7)) - $1000x = $13600 - $95200/(x+7) - $1000*x

deriv = $95200/(x+7)/(x+7) - $1000

$95200/(x+7)/(x+7) - $1000 = $0

(x+7)^2 = 95.2

(x+7) ~= 9.75704873412

x ~= 2.75704...

rounding $1000x to the nearest dollar yields $2757
