If fixed costs are 30, variable costs per unit are Q + 3 and the demand function is

The maximum profit is 154

Total cost is the sum of the fixed cost and variable cost.

Let us assume that Q units are produced, hence:

Fixed cost = 30, variable cost = Q * (Q + 3) = Q² + 3Q

Total cost = Fixed cost + variable cost = 30 + (Q² + 3Q) = Q² + 3Q + 30

Given the demand function:

P + 2Q = 50

P = 50 - 2Q

Therefore the Revenue (R) = P * Q = (50 - 2Q) * (Q) = 50Q - 2Q²

The profit is the difference between the revenue and the cost, hence:

profit (p) = revenue - cost = (50Q - 2Q²) - (Q² + 3Q + 30) = -3Q² + 47Q - 30

p = -3Q² + 47Q - 30

At break even, the revenue is equal to the cost, hence no profit. At breakeven:

revenue = cost

50Q - 2Q² = Q² + 3Q + 30

3Q² - 47Q + 30 = 0

Q = 0.6 or 15

At breakeven the number of units produced are 0.6 and 15

The maximum profit is at dp/dQ = 0

p = -3Q² + 47Q - 30

dp/dQ = -6Q + 47 = 0

6Q = 47

Q = 7,83

p = -3(7.83)² + 47(7.83) - 30 = 154

Therefore the maximum profit is 154

What is the y-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola?<br><br> f(x)= -x^2 - 2x +6
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

  7

Step-by-step explanation:

The function can be written in vertex form as ...

  f(x) = -(x +1)^2 +7

The vertex is then identifiable as (-1, 7). The y-coordinate is 7.

_____

Vertex form is ...

  f(x) = a(x -h)^2 +k

where "a" is the vertical scale factor, and (h, k) is the vertex point. It is convenient to arrive at this form by factoring "a" from the first two terms, then adding and subtracting the square of the remaining x-coefficient inside and outside parentheses.

  f(x) = -(x^2 +2x) +6

  f(x) = -(x^2 +2x +1) + 6 -(-1) . . . . completing the square

  f(x) = -(x +1)^2 +7 . . . . . . . . . . . . vertex form; a=-1, (h, k) = (-1, 7)

In Wellington, a city of 360,000 citizens, there has been an outbreak of vampires and werewolves There are 3,000 people infected
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

0.0286 or 2.86%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of people that have werewolfism is 21,000.

Of those 21,000, 600 also have vampirism, while the remaining 20,400 do not. Therefore, the probability that someone has vampirism, given that they have werewolfism is:

P(V|W)=\frac{N_{V\cap W}}{N_W}\\P(V|W)=\frac{600}{21,000} \\P(V|W)=0.0286=2.86\%

The probability is 0.0286 or 2.86%.
