Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The demand function is

$q=7000-100p$

where p is price.

Solve the demand equation for p.

$100p=7000-q$

$p=\dfrac{7000-q}{100}$

The revenue function is

$R(q)=qp$

Substitute the value of p in the above function.

$R(q)=q(\dfrac{7000-q}{100})$

$R(q)=\dfrac{7000q-q^2}{100}$

Differentiate with respect to q.

$R'(q)=\dfrac{7000-2q}{100}$

Equate R'(q)=0,

$\dfrac{7000-2q}{100}=0$

$7000=2q$

Divide both sides by 2.

$3500=q$

Therefore, the correct option is B.

The average low temperature by month in Nashville is represented by the function

malfutka [58]

Answer:

<h2>33</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the average low temperature by month in Nashville is represented by the function f(x)=-1.4x² + 19x +1.7, where x is the month, the average rate of change is expressed as d[f(x)]/dx = 2(1.4x) + 19

d[f(x)]/dx = 2.8x + 19

Since the number of months between March and August is 5 months and x is in months, hence we will substitute x = 5 into the resulting function to get the average rate of change from March to August as shown;

d[f(x)]/dx at x = 5

= 2.8(5)+ 19

= 14 + 19

= 33

<em>Hence the average rate of change from March to August is 33</em>

What is the standard deviation of the market portfolio if the standard deviation of a fully diversified portfolio with a beta of

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

22.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

let the standard deviation for market portfolio = σₙ

Also let the standard deviation for fully diversified portfolio = σₓ

<u>To calculate fully diversified portfolio</u>

fully diversified portfolio has <em>σₓ = βσₙ</em>

From the given question beta (β) = 1.25

Also standard deviation for market portfolio (σₙ) = 18% = 0.18

<em>From the equation above, σₓ = βσₙ </em>= 1.25×0.18 = 0.225

= 22.5% (converting to percentage)

The rabbit population on a small island is observed to be given by the function P(t) = 130t − 0.3t^4 + 1100 where t is the time

Montano1993 [528]

The maximum occurs when the derivative of the function is equal to zero.
$P(t)=-0.3t^{4}+130t+1100 \\ P'(t)=-1.2t^{3}+130 \\ 0=-1.2t^{3}+130 \\ 1.2t^{3}=130 \\ t^{3}= \frac{325}{3} \\ t=4.76702$
Then evaluate the function for that time to find the maximum population.
$P(t)=-0.3t^{4}+130t \\ P(4.76702)=-0.3*4.76702^{4}+130*4.76702+1100 \\ P(4.76702)=1564.79201$
Depending on the teacher, the "correct" answer will either be the exact decimal answer or the greatest integer of that value since you cannot have part of a rabbit.

Drag and drop an answer to each box to correctly complete the explanation for deriving the formula for the volume of a sphere.

Advocard [28]

The volume of a sphere is given by:

$V= \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

So, we need to deduct this equation. We will walk through Calculus on the concept of a solid of revolution that is a solid figure that is obtained by rotating a plane curve around some straight line (the axis of revolution<span>) that lies on the same plane. We know from calculus that:

</span> $V=\pi \int_{a}^{b}[f(x)]^{2}dx$
<span>
Then, according to the concept of solid of revolution we are going to rotate a circumference shown in the figure, then:

</span> $x^{2}+y^{2}=r^{2}$
<span>
Isolationg y:

</span> $y= \sqrt{r^{2}-x^{2}}$ <span>

So,

</span> $f(x)=y=\sqrt{r^{2}-x^{2}}$ <span>

</span> $V=\pi \int_{a}^{b}[\sqrt{r^{2}-x^{2}}]^{2}dx$
<span>
</span> $V=\pi \int_{a}^{b}(r^{2}-x^{2})dx$ <span>

being -r and r the limits of this integral.

</span> $V=\pi \int_{-r}^{r}(r^{2}-x^{2})dx$
<span>
Solving:

</span> $V=\pi[r^{2}x-\frac{x^{3}}{3}]\right|_{-r}^{r}$

Finally:
<span>
</span> $V=\pi(r^{3}-\frac{r^{3}}{3})-\pi(-r^{3}+\frac{r^{3}}{3})= \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$ <span>
</span><span>
</span>
