Kristin owns a bakery called Kristin's Cakes n' Such and is considering lowering the price of her cakes. Kristin polls her custo

mers and determines that she can sell 100 cakes each week when she chargers $25 each. She also discovers that for every $1 decrease in the price of the cake, she will sell 5 more cakes. At what price should Kristin sell her cakes in order to reach he maximum potential revenue?

The total revenue that is gained from the sales of the cakes is determined by multiplying the number of cakes by the price. If we let x be the number of $1 that should be deducted from the price and y be the total revenue,
                               y = (25 - x)(100 + 5x)
Simplifying, 
                              y = 2500 + 25x - 5x²
We get the value of x that will give us the maximum revenue by differentiating the equation and equating the differential to zero.
                             dy/dx = 0 = 25 - 10x
The value of x is 2.5. 
 The price of the cake should be 25 - 2.5 = 22.5. 
Thus, the price of the cake that will give the maximum potential revenue is $22.5.

W = 3x + 7y solve for y
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The value of the equation y=\frac{W-3x}{7}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

W = 3x + 7y

We need to solve the provided equation for y.

Subtract 3x from both side.

W-3x= 3x-3x+ 7y

W-3x=7y

Divide both sides by 7.

\frac{7y}{7}=\frac{W-3x}{7}

y=\frac{W-3x}{7}

Hence, the value of the equation is y=\frac{W-3x}{7}.

There are 9 students in a service club. The club is making gift baskets for children in a hospital. Each club member donated 4 c
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of toys that each club member donated.

There are 9 students in a service club.

If each club member donated 4 children's books for the baskets, it means that the total number of books donated by the club members would be

9 × 4 = 36

If each club member also donated an equal number of toys. It means that the total number of toys donated by the club members would be

9 × x = 9x

A total of 63 items were collected for the baskets. Therefore, the linear equation that you can use to find how many toys each club member donated would be

9x + 36 = 63

The statement tan theta -12/5, csc theta -13/5, and the terminal point determined by theta is in quadrant 2."​
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Answer C:

Cannot be true because csc(\theta)  is greater than zero in quadrant 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the csc of an angle is negative, since the cosecant function is defined as:

csc(\theta)=\frac{1}{sin(\theta)}

that means that the sin of the angle must be negative, and such cannot happen in the second quadrant. The sine function is positive in the first and second quadrant.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

Cannot be true because  csc(\theta)  is greater than zero in quadrant 2.

What values of b satisfy 4(3b + 2)2 = 64?
Vikentia [17]
Given the equation 4(3b + 2)² = 64, dividing both sides of the equation by 4, we have (3b + 2)² = 16 and getting the square root of both sides, (3b + 2) = 4 and (3b + 2) = -4 We can solve for b for each equation and have 3b = 2 | 3b = -6 b = 2/3 | b = -2 Therefore, the values of b are 2/3 and -2 and from the choices, the answer is <span>A: b = 2/3 and b = -2.</span>

The Helheim glacier in Greenland enters the ocean in a 6.3 kilometer wide fjord. The terminus of the glacier retreated 7.5 kilom
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

7.56 km²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Width of the fjord, w = 6.3 km

Retreated terminus of the glacier between may 2001 and June 2005, d = 7.5 km

thus, the length lost , y = 7.5 - 6.3 = 1.2 km

now, the area is given as:

A = Length × width

on substituting the values, we get

A = 1.2 × 6.3

or

A = 7.56 km²

Hence, the surface area lost by the glacier in the fjord is 7.56 km²
