Answer:

The value of q that maximize the profit is q=200 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The profit is equal to the revenue minus the cost

we have

$R(q)=3q-0.002q^{2}$ ---> the revenue

$C(q)=200+2.2q$ ---> the cost

The profit P(q) is equal to

$P(q)=R(q)-C(q)$

substitute the given values

$P(q)=(3q-0.002q^{2})-(200+2.2q)$

$P(q)=3q-0.002q^{2}-200-2.2q$

$P(q)=-0.002q^{2}+0.8q-200$

This is a vertical parabola open downward (because the leading coefficient is negative)

The vertex represent a maximum

The x-coordinate of the vertex represent the value of q that maximize the profit

The y-coordinate of the vertex represent the maximum profit

using a graphing tool

Graph the quadratic equation

The vertex is the point (200,-120)

see the attached figure

therefore

The value of q that maximize the profit is q=200 units

Your utility company charges 13 cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity. What is the daily cost of keeping lit a 75 watt light bu

Tresset [83]

we know that

$1 Kw=1000 w$

The company charges $13$ cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity

$13 cents=0.13 dollars\\\\ 75w=\frac{75}{1000} kw\\\\ 15w=\frac{15}{1000} kw$

Step $1$

Find the cost for the light bulb

a) in one day

$\frac{75}{1000} *12=0.9\ kw\ hour$

$Cost=0.13*0.9$

Cost=$ $0.117$

b) In a year

$\frac{75}{1000} *12=0.9\ kw\ hour$

$0.9*365=328.5\ kw\ hour$

$Cost=0.13*328.5$

Cost=$ $42.71$

Step $2$

Find the cost for the led bulb

a) in one day

$\frac{15}{1000} *12=0.18\ kw\ hour$

$Cost=0.13*0.18$

Cost=$ $0.0234$

b) In a year

$\frac{15}{1000} *12=0.18\ kw\ hour$

$0.18*365=65.7\ kw\ hour$

$Cost=0.13*65.7$

Cost=$ $8.54$

Step $3$

Find the difference in cost

$Save=42.71-8.54\\ Save=34.17 dollars$

therefore

the answer is

$34.17 dollars$

Evelyn has $524.96 in her checking account. She must maintain a $500 balance to avoid a fee. She wrote a check for $32.50 today.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

524.96 − 32.50 + x ≥ 500

Amount need to deposit = $7.54

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount in checking account = $524.96

Maintain amount = $500

Amount of check = $32.50

Find:

Amount need to deposit

Computation:

Assume, amount need to deposit = x

So,

For avoiding fee

524.96 − 32.50 + x ≥ 500

x = 7.54

Amount need to deposit = $7.54

in a certain class, 22 pupils take one or more of chemistry, economic, government. 12 take economic (E), 8 take government (G) a

mash [69]

Answer:

ai) n(E⋂C) = ∅ = null

n(E⋂G) = 4

aii) see attachment

bi) n(C⋂G) = x = 1

bii) n(G) only = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let chemistry = C

Economic = E

Government = G

n(E) = 12

n(G) = 8

n(C) = 7

ai) number of pupils for economics and chemistry = 0

number of pupils for economics and government = 4

The set notation for both:

n(E⋂C) = ∅ = null

n(E⋂G) = 4

aii) find attached the Venn diagram

bi) n(C⋂G) = ?

Let number of n(C⋂G) = x

From the Venn diagram

n(C) only = 12-4 = 8

n(G) only = 8-(4+x) = 4-x

n(E) only = 7-x

n(E⋂C⋂G) = 0

n(E⋂C) = 0

n(E⋂G) = 4

Total: 8+ 4-x + 7-x + x + 0+0+4 = 22

23 -x = 22

23-22 = x

x = 1

n(C⋂G) = x = 1

Number of pupils that take both chemistry and government = 1

(bii) government only = n(G) only = 4-x

n(G) only = 4-1 = 3

Number of students that take government only = 3

Two people start walking at the same time in the same direction. One person walks at 8 mph and the other person walks at 2 mph.

schepotkina [342]

Time = distance/speed

The distance between the walkers increases at the rate of (8 mph) -(2 mph) = 6 mph. That distance will be 4.5 mi after ...
(4.5 mi)/(6 mi/h) = 4.5/6 h = 3/4 h

In 3/4 hour they will be 4.5 miles apart.

The cost of making a chair is $28 correct to the nearest dollar. Calculate the lower and upper bounds for the cost of making 450

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

$12,375

$12820.50

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain a rounded value of $28 (to nearest dollar) the lowest and highest possible value before rounding will be : 27.50 and 28.49

Hence,

Lower bound = $27.50

Upper bound = $28.49

Therefore. Cost of making 450 chairs ;

27.50 * 450 = $12,375 (lower bound)

28.49 * 450 $12820.50 (upper bound)
