The answer should be 32 2/3. Sorry I'm late, but hope this helps.
Just subsitute the value of x with -2
f(-2) = 2×2(-2) = 2×(-4) = -8
Answer: -8
First use distributive property on both sides of the equation.
-9(-16 - f) = 4(1 - 3f)
144 + 9f = 4 - 12f
Then isolate f on one side of the equation:
3f = -140
f = 46.67 --> (which is equal to -140/3)
I'm sorry I couldn't help more. I don't know why it's wrong. Maybe try putting in it decial form instead.
Answer: Cola is more profitable over Coffee
Step-by-step explanation:
E(cola) = 0.3 * 1500 + 0.7 * 5000
E(cola) = 450 + 3500
E(cola) = 3950
E(coffee) = 0.3 * 4000 + 0.7 * 1000
E(coffee) = 1200 + 700
E(coffee) = 1900
From the decision tree which is attached, and the calculations above, it would be advised that the firm should focus on Cola, since it has a higher expected revenue of $3950, compared to the expected revenue of $1900 for coffee.
