Answer: <em>one solution.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>This equation has one solution: x = 6.</em>
we are given
we have to subtract
step-1: Distribute negative sign
step-2:Combine like terms
we get
............Answer
a. R\p = (10 - q)*2
The inverse demand function is just the inverse function of the demand function. In other words, we just have to isolate p in the demand function:
p = (10 - q)*2
b. R\25
The price for 5 units of output is given by the inverse demand function:
p = (10 - 5)*2 = 10
We replace p in the profit function:
π(q) = 10 * 5 - 5² = 25
c. 3
For this one, we replace the inverse demand function in the profit function and derivate for q, then equate to 0 and solve:
π(q) = ((10 - q)*2)*q - q² = 20q - 2q² - q² = 20q - 3q²
dπ/dq = 20 - 6*q
20 - 6q = 0
q = 20/6 = 3.33333
Now, a decimal level of output makes no sense. So, now we try the nearest integers 3 and 4, and find the respectives profits. The output that has that maximum profit will be the one that maximizes the profit. Keep in mind, that this will only be true in this particular case because the profit function has the form of a quadratic equation:
π(3) = 20 * 3 - 3*(3)² = 33
π(4) = 20 * 4 - 3*(4)² = 32
The answer is 3.
2/300 simplifies to 1/150 as a fraction.
As a decimal, 2/300 is .00666666..... (more sixes).
the answer is A. because 20+5 in the parentheses is equal to 25 in the question
