This is quite an interesting problem. I am not sure how high you are in math, but I am going to use calculus I techniques to solve it. First, we need to model an equation. Let P be the total profit and x be every time you increase the cost by $10. If you think about it hard enough you come up with the equation

P(x)=(200-5x)(250+10x)

(200-5x) is the amount of plots you will be able to sell, and (250+10x) is the amount you charge for. So, at x =0

P(0)=(200-5(0))(250+10(0))=(200)(250)=$50,000

This is the initial condition where if we sell 200 plots at $250/plot.

So, this equation makes sense.

Now, let's maximize using the first derivative of the function.

Let's get it into an easily differentiable form.

P(x)=(200-5x)(250+10x)=-50x^2+2000x-1250x+50000\\=-50x^2+750x+50000

From here, differentiate the problem.

P'(x)=-100x+750

Now, set it equal to zero and solve for x.

P'(x)=-100x+750=0\\x=7.5

This a critical point of the function. Let's plug back into the original equation to see what it gives us.

P(7.5)=(200-5(7.5))(250+10(7.5))=(162.5)(325)=52,812.50

You cant sell half a plot, so we need to see what happens if we sell 162 plots and 163 plots, and then compare which one gives us more money.

In order to sell 162 plots

200-5x=162\\x=7.6Plug back into P(x) to see the profit

P(7.6)=(200-5(7.6))(250+10(7.6))=(162)(326)=52,812

Now, do the same for 163 plots

200-5x=163\\x=7.4\\P(7.4)=(200-5(7.4))(250+10(7.4))=(163)(324)=52,812

As we can see, they are the same. So, you can charge either $324 or $326 in rent. But, if your teacher is not looking for a logical answer and you can somehow sell half a plot, you can charge $325 in rent for the maximum profit.

The vertical segment joining A (1,5) and B (1,1) has been graphed on the number plane. Find the length of the segment.
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

because the points have the same x-coordinate, we just need to subtract the y-coordinates to find the distance.

5 - 1 = 4

therefore, the length of the segment is 4 units.

hope this helps! <3

Simplify the following polynomials: (Use the ^ symbol to represent exponents)
nata0808 [166]
Important:  Please express exponents properly:  -2x^2  Correct
                                                                              -2x2   Not correct

Rewrite  <span>(-2x2 -6x + 7) - (3x3 - 5x + 14)

as

</span><span>- 2x^2 -6x + 7
</span><span>- (3x^3 - 5x + 14)
__________________

Even better, write each power of x in its own column:

</span>- 2x^2 -6x + 7                      - 2x^2 -6x + 7
- 3x^3 + 5x -14         - 3x^3           + 5x -14
