A company knows that if it sets the price of a product at p dollars, the number of units sold will be x million, where p = 2 - x. If the cost of the product is given by 0.25 + 0.5x million dollars. What price should be set to make a profit of $ 0.25 million?

Answers

Answer 1
Two Answers: p = 1.5 or p = 1

====================================================

Explanation:

x = number of products, in millions, sold

p = price per product

R = revenue

R = (number of products sold)*(price per product)

R = x*p

R = x(2-x)

R = 2x-x^2

C = costs

C = 0.25 + 0.5x

F = profit

F = revenue - costs

F = R - C

F = (2x - x^2) - (0.25 + 0.5x)

F = -x^2 + 1.5x - 0.25

We want a profit of 0.25 million, so plug in F = 0.25 and solve for x

F = -x^2 + 1.5x - 0.25

0.25 = -x^2 + 1.5x - 0.25

0 = -x^2 + 1.5x - 0.25 - 0.25

-x^2 + 1.5x - 0.5 = 0

Use the quadratic formula to find the two solutions to be x = 0.5 and x = 1

If x = 0.5, then p = 2-x = 2-0.5 = 1.5

If x = 1, then p = 2-1 = 1

There are two price points  (p = 1.5 and p = 1) that lead to the same profit F = 0.25

Find the sum of −2 5/10 and −5 4/15. Then, in two or more complete sentences, explain the steps you used to add the mixed numbers.

Answers

Answer:

Exact Form: -5/2, -79/15            Decimal form: -2.5, -5.26      mixed number form: -2 1/2,   -5 4/15

Answer:

-7  9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I converted the mixed numbers into improper fractions, which left me with 25/10 plus 79/15. I had to find common denominators for the both of them, and I ended up with 30. 10 goes into 30 3 times, and 3 times 25 is 75. 15 goes into 30 two times, and 2 times 79 is 158. That left me with 75/30 plus 158/30 and my first answer was 237/30. I then had to convert that improper fraction into a mixed number. 237 divided by 30 is 7 with a remainder of 27. My next answer to this problem was

7  9/10. A negative plus a negative equals a negative number, so the final answer is -7  9/10.

Two planes have a cruising speed of 750 km/h without wind. The first plane flies for 13 hours against a constant headwind. The second plane flies for 11 hours in the opposite direction with the same wind (a tailwind). The second plane flies for 250 km less than the first plane. Determine two equations that could be used to solve for the wind speed,w, and the distance traveled by the first plane,d.

1. (750+w)(13)=d (750+w)(11)=d+250 2. (750−w)(13)=d (750+w)(11)=d−250 3. (750+w)(13)=d (750−w)(11)=d−250 4. (750−w)(13)=d (750−w)(11)=d+250

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

2. (750 - w)(13) = d (750 + w)(11) = d - 250

Step-by-step explanation:

The items with information given are;

The cruising speed of the planes = 750 km/h

The first plane flies against a constant headwind = w

The second plane flies against a constant tailwind  in magnitude to the headwind

The time duration of flight of the first plane = 13 hours

The time duration of flight of the second plane = 11 hours

The distance flown by the second plane = The distance flown by the first plane - 250 km

When we take the headwind magnitude as, w and the distance flown by the first plane as d, we have;

Speed of flight of the first plane = 750 - w

Speed of flight of the second plane = 750 + w

Therefore, the distance flown by the first plane in 13 hours is given as follows;

(750 - w) × (13) = d

Then we have;

The distance flown by the second plane in 11 hours is (750 + w) × (11) = d.

The correct option is (750 - w)(13) = d, (750 + w)(11) = d - 250

For the quadratic equation ax²+bx+c

For the equation: X² - 9x - 6:

a = 1, b = -9 and c = -6

(-(-9) ± √(-9)² - 4(1*-6)) ÷ 2*1

inches of track costs $16

, what is the constant of proportionality?

Answers

Answer:

If... 6.4 inches : 16 dollars

Then... 32 inches = 80 dollars.  

And, 1 inch of track = 80/32 dollars.

80/32 = 2.5.

So, the answer is: 1 inch of track costs 2.5 dollars.

The  constant of proportionality is $2,50.

The equation used to represent direct proportionality is: y = kx

Where:

y = dependent variable

x = independent variable

k = constant of proportionality

Here, the dependent variable is the cost of the track. The independent variable is the length of the tracks.

$16 = 6.4k

How many and of which kind of roots does the equation f(x) = x3 – x2 – x + 1 have?

B. 1 real; 2 complex
C. 3 real
D. 3 complex

Answers

C i think.................

The kind of roots does the equation f(x) is option (C) 3 real roots is the correct answer.

What is a polynomial equation?

A polynomial equation is a sum of constants and variables. A polynomial is an expression consisting of indeterminate's (also called variables) and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponentiation of variables.

For the given situation,

The equation [tex]f(x) = x^3 - x^2 - x + 1[/tex]

The roots of the polynomial equation can be found as follows,

Step 1:

Substitute the value of x in which the equation f(x) equals zero.

⇒ Put [tex]x = 1[/tex], the equation becomes

⇒ [tex]f(1) = 1^3 - 1^2 - 1 + 1[/tex]

⇒ [tex]f(1) = 0[/tex]

Thus [tex](x - 1)[/tex] is the one root of the equation.

Step 2:

The other roots can be found by framing the quadratic equation on dividing the equation [tex]f(x) = x^3 - x^2 - x + 1[/tex] by [tex](x - 1)[/tex]

On dividing [tex]f(x) = x^3 - x^2 - x + 1[/tex] by [tex](x - 1)[/tex] we get the quotient,

⇒ [tex](x^{2} -1)[/tex]

Step 3:

Now factorize the quadratic equation, [tex](x^{2} -1)[/tex]

It can be expand using the identity,

⇒ [tex](x^{2} -1^{2} ) = (x+1)(x-1)[/tex]            [∵ (a^2 - b^2) = (a+b)(a-b) ]

Thus the factors of the equation are [tex](x-1)(x+1)(x-1)[/tex]. So the roots are [tex]1,-1,1[/tex].

Hence we can conclude that the kind of roots does the equation f(x) is option (C) 3 real roots is the correct answer.
