The derivative of a function indicates how sensitive the function is to changes as the input variable value changes

The revenue, profit, maximum profit and price are;

(a) Her revenue on the day is 300 - 10·x - 4·x²

(b) Her profit function, P(x) = 120 + 14·x - 4·x²

(c) The price she should set the necklace is $11.75

(d) The maximum profit made is $132.25

The reasons the above values are correct are as follows:

The given parameters are:

Cost of material for each necklace =$6

The number of necklace she sells a day = 30

Selling price for each necklace when she sells 30 necklaces = $10

Number of sales lost for every dollar increase = 4 sales a day

(a) When the price is increased by <em>x</em> dollars, then we have;

New price = 10 + x

New cost of daily production, C = 6·(30 - 4·x) dollars

The number of sales for the day = 30 - 4·x

Her revenue for the day, R = (10 + x)·(30 - 4·x) = <u>300 - 10·x - 4·x²</u>

(b) Her profit, P = Her daily revenue, R - Her daily production cost, C

Her cost function, P(x) = R - C

∴ P(x) = 300 - 10·x - 4·x² - 6·(30 - 4·x) = 120 + 14·x - 4·x²

Her profit as a function of the number of <em>x</em> dollar increase in price, is therefore, P(x) = <u>120 + 14·x - 4·x²</u>

(c) To maximize profit, the derivative of the profit function is found and equated to zero as follows;

\dfrac{dP(x)}{dx} = \dfrac{d}{dx} \left(120 + 14\cdot x - 4 \cdot x^2\right) = 14 - 8\cdot x

x = 14/8 = 1.75

Therefore, the price she should set the necklace = 10 + 1.75 = 11.75

The price she should set the necklace = <u>$</u><u>11.75</u>

(d) The maximum profit P(x)_{max} = P(1.75) = 120 + 14×1.75 - 4×1.75² = 132.25

Her maximum profit, P(x)_{max} = <u>$</u><u>132.25</u>

Lines g, h, and l are parallel and m&lt; 2 = 132°.
xxMikexx [17]
M < 2 and m < 6 are corresponding angles and are equal....so < 6 = 132.

< 6 and < 8 form a line and are equal to 180

< 6 + < 8 = 180
132 + < 8 = 180
< 8 = 180 - 132
< 8 = 48 <===

BC has a midpoint at M(6, 6). Point C is at (2, 10). Find the coordinates of point B.
agasfer [191]

Answer:

The coordinates of B are (10,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We know that BC has a midpoint M, with the coordinates (6,6), and the endpoint C, with coordinates (2, 10)

We want to find the coordinates of point B

The midpoint formula is (\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+ y_2}{2}), where (x_1, y_1) and (x_2 , y_2) are points. In this case, the point C has the values of (x_1, y_1), and B has the values of (x_2 , y_2)

We know that coordinates of M equal (\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+ y_2}{2})

In other words,

\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2} = 6\\ \frac{y_1+ y_2}{2}=6

Let's plug 2 for x_1 and 10 for y_1

So:

\frac{2 + x_2}{2} = 6\\ \frac{10+ y_2}{2}=6

Multiply both sides by 2

{2 + x_2} = 12\\{10+ y_2} =12

Subtract 2 from both sides in the first equation to find the value of x_2:

x_2=10

Now, for the second equation, subtract 10 from both sides to find the value of y_2

y_2=2

Now substitute these values for (x_2, y_2)

(x_2, y_2)=(10,2)

So the coordinates of point B are (10, 2)

Hope this helps!
