An airline finds that if it prices a cross-country ticket at $300, it will sell 400 tickets per day. It estimates that each $10

price reduction will result in 50 more tickets sold per day. Find the ticket price (and the number of tickets sold) that will maximize the airline's revenue.

Answer:

price = $190

quantity =  950 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

revenue = price * quantity

n = number of $10 price reductions

price = 300 - 10n

quantity =  400 + 50n

r = (300 - 10n)(400 + 50n)

recognize these as the factors of a quadratic that opens down

the vertex will therefor be the maximum revenue

the roots are:

300 - 10n = 0

300 = 10n

n = 30

400 + 50n = 0

50n = -400

n = -8

vertex is at mid point of the roots

n = (-8 + 30)/2

n = 11

price = 300 - 10n

price = 300 - 10(11)

price = 190

quantity =  400 + 50n

quantity =  400 + 50(11)

quantity =  950

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

21.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent error = amount of error/actual amount

320 - 250 = 70

70/320 (division) = 0.21875

percent = 21.875%

Rounding to nearest tenth = 21.9%

Your answer should be 21.9%, so I hope this helps!

Find the inverse function of f(x)= square root of 2x+2
Alik [6]

The inverse function of the above function is f(x) = \frac{x^{2} - 2}{2}

You can find the inverse of any function by switching the f(x) and x terms. Once you have done that, solve for the new f(x). Finally, what you'll have remaining is the inverse function. The work is done for you below:

f(x) = \sqrt{2x + 2} ----> Switch the x and f(x)

x = \sqrt{2f(x) + 2} ---> square both sides

x^{2} = 2f(x) + 2 ---> subtract 2 from both sides

x^{2} - 2 = 2f(x) ----> divide both sides by 2

\frac{x^{2} - 2}{2} = f(x) ----> switch the order for formatting sake.

f(x) = \frac{x^{2} - 2}{2}
