A publishing company expects to sell 5000 copies of a new book from its web site, if the company charges $30 per book. The company expects that 500 more books would be sold for each price reduction of $2. What price would maximize the company's revenue?

Answers

Answer 1

Solution :

Let the revenue be = R

Therefore, R = price x quantity

                  R = (30 - 2x) ( 5000 + 500x)

                     = [tex]150000 + 5000x - 1000x^2[/tex]

For the maximum revenue,

[tex]$\frac{dR}{dx} = 0$[/tex]

[tex]$-2000x+5000=0$[/tex]

[tex]$x=2.5$[/tex]

[tex]$\frac{d^2R}{dx^2}=-2000<0$[/tex]

At [tex]x=2.5[/tex], the revenue is maximum.

So the price for the maximum company revenue = [tex]$30-2x$[/tex]

                                                                                  [tex]$=30-2(2.5)$[/tex]

                                                                                  = 30 - 5

                                                                                  = 25

Therefore, the price that will maximize the company's revenue is $25.

Use the Factor Theorem to prove x^3 - 13x - 12 is divisible by x^2 – X – 12

Answers

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to prove that:

[tex]x^3-13x-12\text{ is divisible by } x^2-x-12[/tex]

We can factor the divisor:

[tex]x^2-x-12=(x-4)(x+3)[/tex]

According to the Factor Theorem, if we have a polynomial P(x) divided by a binomial in the form of (x - a) and if P(a) = 0, then the binomial is a factor of P(x).

Our two binomial factors our (x - 4) and (x + 3). Thus, a = 4 and a = -3.

Evaluate the polynomial for both of these factors:

[tex]P(4)=(4)^3-13(4)-12=0[/tex]

And:

[tex]P(-3)=(-3)^3-13(-3)-12=0[/tex]

Since both yielded zero, the original polynomial is divisible by both (x - 4) and (x + 3) or x² - x - 12. Hence:

[tex]x^3-13x-12\text{ is indeed divisible by } x^2-x-12[/tex]

10 POINTS!! PLEASE HELP!!

Answers

Answer:

only the third answer is right.

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve it, we need to bring everything to the same denominator (the expression below the division line) or eliminate it completely.

how do we do it ? by multiplying everything with the same expression, so that we can eliminate the denominator for every term.

when looking for the best option I see that

(x² + 5x + 6) = (x + 2)×(x + 3)

that is great, because this covers all 3 denominators in our main expression.

so, we multiply everything by ((x+2)×(x+3)) and eliminate the denominators and the corresponding part of our multiplier.

that leaves us with

x×(x+3) + 2 = 5×(x+2)

now we simply simplify the expression

x² + 3x + 2 = 5x + 10

x² - 8x - 8 = 0

a squared equation has typically 2 solutions. and they are defined as

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac)) / (2a)

in our case

a = 1

b = -8

c = -8

x = (8 ± sqrt(64 + 32)) / 2 = (8 ± sqrt(96))/2 =

= (8 ± sqrt(16×6))/2 = (8 ± 4×sqrt(6))/2 = 4 ± 2×sqrt(6)

x1 = 4 + 2×sqrt(6)

x2 = 4 - 2×sqrt(6)

both solutions are different from -2 or -3, therefore -2 and -3 are not solutions at all, and they cannot be extraneous solutions either for that reason.

and since we have 2 perfectly fine solutions, the answer options work no or only one solutions are wrong too.

Find the missing part.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this, we need only solve for x and then use Pythagorean's Theorem to find z. We have the length of the hypotenuse which is 15, and we also have the base angle of 60. To solve for x we can use the trig ratio

[tex]cos60=\frac{x}{15}[/tex] and

x = 15cos60 which gives us that

x = [tex]\frac{15}{2}[/tex]

Now we can use Pythagorean's Theorem to find z, the other leg of the big triangle.

[tex](\frac{15}{2})^2+z^2=15^2[/tex] and

[tex](\frac{225}{4})+z^2=225[/tex] and

[tex]z^2=225-\frac{225}{4}[/tex] and getting a common denominator:

[tex]z^2=\frac{900}{4}-\frac{225}{4}[/tex] and

[tex]z^2=\frac{675}{4}[/tex] now we take the square root by simplifying the radical to get

[tex]z=\frac{15\sqrt{3} }{2}[/tex]

and that's what goes into the blanks there, one number per blank.

Answers

Answer:

1: (C)

2: (C)

3: (D)

4: (A)

5: (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

1: "Which could be the entire interval over which the function, f(x), is negative?"

When f(x) is negative, that means the values under the f(x) column is negative. As you can see, -16 & -8 are the only times when f(x) is negative. To find the interval, we are going to use x-values. Notice how as x continues to decrease, f(x) also decreases. So the answer is (-infinity, -6).

2: "Which equation represents the graphed function?"

Looking at the graph, we see that the y-intercept is (0, -2). However, all the answer choices have the correct y-intercept, so now we must focus on getting the correct slope. The slope is positive, so the answer is either (A) or (C). To find the correct answer, use the rise/run method from (0, -2) to (4, -1). You rise 1 and run 4, so the slope is 1/4. The answer is y = 1/4x - 2.

3: "If f(1) = 10, what is f(3)?"

I honestly don't know how to do this one. I looked it up on Brainly and some other people said the answer is 30. Credits to dragonheartedking on Brainly.

4: "Which table represents a linear function?"

Table A represents a linear function because each time x increases by 1, y increases by the same amount of 4 each time. It doesn't fluctuate like the rest of the answer choices.

5: "How many units below the y-intercept of g(x) is the y-intercept of f(x)?"

The y-intercept is the point where the function intersects with the y-axis. We start from (0, 2) and count the units as we reach (0, -1). The answer is 3 units.

IF ANGLE B AND ANGLE Q ARE 90 DEGREES, ANGLE A + ANGLE C = ANGLE P + ANGLE R

WE HAVE ALREADY PROVED THAT AC = PR

If two triangles have one angle equal to one angle, two sides adjoining the equal angles equal, namely, one side adjoining the equal angles, and one opposite the equal angles, and the remaining angles either both less or both not less than a right angle, then the remaining side equals the remaining side and the remaining angles equal the remaining angles.

y-[tex]y_{1}[/tex]=m(x-[tex]x_{1}[/tex]) and slope is m.

Putting the values of points and slope in the formula given above.

y-(-3)=-4(x-8)

y+3=-4(x-8)

y+3=-4x+32

y=-4x+32-3

y=-4x+29

Wendy brought 4 cakes and 2 pies for $20. The cost of a cake is twice the cost of 1 pie. A) What was the cost of one cake b)What was the cost of 1 pie?

Answers

Answer:

a. The cost of one cake is $4.

b. The cost of one pie is $2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of cake be C.Let the cost of pie be P

C = 2P  .....equation 1

4C + 2P = 20  .....equation 2

Substituting eqn 1 into eqn 2, we have;

4(2P) + 2P = 20

8P + 2P = 20

10P = 20

P = 20/10

Pie, P = $2

Next, we would determine the cost of a cake;

From equation 1;

C = 2P

Substituting the value of "P" we have;

C = 2 * 2

Cake, C = $4

Therefore, we would have the following answers;

a. The cost of one cake is $4.

b. The cost of one pie is $2.

Check:

From equation 2;

4C + 2P = 20

4(4) + 2(2) = 20

Answer:

A; F(x+3) = 6x^2 + 20x + 6

To find it you just would multiply F(x) onto the other side. So it would look like this:

           F(x+3) = 6x + 2 (x+3)            

          F(x+3) = 6x^2 + 2x + 18x + 6            *combine like terms getting you
