Suppose a computer manufacturer has the total cost function

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

(a) P(x) = 300 x - 3600

(b) P(340) = $ 98400

(c) At least 12 items must be sold to avoid losing money.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part (a):

The Profit function is the difference between the revenue function (R(x)) and the Cost (C(x)) function:

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

P(x) = 384 x - [84 x + 3600]

P(x) = 384 x - 84 x - 3600

P(x) = 300 x - 3600

Part (b):

The profit on 340 items is:

P(340) = 300 (340) - 3600

P(340) = 102000 - 3600

P(340) = $ 98400

Part (c):

To avoid losing money, the profit P(x) has to be larger or equal than zero. That is:

P(x) $\geq$ 0

300 x -3600 $\geq$ 0

300 x $\geq$ 3600

x $\geq$ 3600/300

x $\geq$ 12

So at least 12 items must be sold to avoid losing money.

I think I got this wrong so can someone please help me and explain it to me

Ber [7]

Answer:

the answer is c

Step-by-step explanation:

Becuase he is given 100 dollars and he uses 20 dollars a day, so you put x with 20 to calculate how many days that he can spend $20 on

Determine the number of roots, using the most efficient method possible.

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

2 roots in every case, not all are real.

Step-by-step explanation:

All of these equations are quadratic equations (degree 2). Every quadratic has two roots. They may be identical (looks like 1 root), and they may be complex (zero real roots), but there are always 2 of them.

a) the y-value of the vertex is negative and the parabola opens downward (leading coefficient -5), so there are no real zeros and both roots are complex.

b) each binomial factor contributes a root. Both roots are real.

c) the discriminant is positive, (3²-4·2·1=1), so both roots are real.

A policyholder has probability 0.7 of having no claims, 0.2 of having exactly one claim, and 0.1 of having exactly two claims. C

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

0.89.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we are given the following data or parameters or information which is going to aid in the solution to this question or problem. So, the data or parameters are;

(1). "probability 0.7 of having no claims, 0.2 of having exactly one claim, and 0.1 of having exactly two claims."

(2). " distributed on the interval [0,60] and are independent."

(3). "The insurer covers 100% of each claim."

So, taking (1) above we will have;

(Total probability= 0.7 + 0.2 + 0.1 = 0.1)

A = { (0.7 × 0)^2 + (0.2 × 1)^2 + ( 0.1 × 2)^2 =( 0.4) +( 0.4) = 0.8.

0.8 + total probability = 0.8 + 0.1 = 0.9.

So, from the question, we are to "Calculate the probability that the total beneﬁt paid to the policyholder is 48 or less."

Hence, P< 48/A = P < 48/0.9 = P < 53.33.

Thus, 53.33/60 = 0.89.
