An ice cream shop finds that its weekly profit P (measured in dollars) as a function of the price x (measured in dollars) it charges per ice cream cone is given by the function k, defined by k(x) = 125x^2 +670x 125 where P= k(x).

Required:
a. Determine the maximum weekly profit and the price of an ice cream cone that produces that maximum profit
b. The cost of the ice cream cone is too low then the ice cream shop will not make a profit. Determine what the ice cream shop needs to charge in order to break even
c. The profit function for Cold & Creamy (another ice cream shop) is defined by the function g where gx)- k(x-2). Does the function g have at the same maximum value as k?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that k(x) = -125x² +670x - 125, where x is the charge per cone and P = k(x) is the weekly profit

a) The maximum profit is at P'(x) = 0. Therefore we have to find the derivative of the profit equation and equate it to 0.

P'(x) = k'(x) = 0

k'(x) = -250x + 670 = 0

-250x + 670 = 0

250x = 670

x = $2.68

P = k(2.68) = -125(2.68²) + 670(2.68) - 125 = $772.8

Hence the maximum profit is $772.8 when the price of each ice cream cone is $2.68

b) At break even, the profit is 0. Hence P= k(x) = 0

-125x² + 670x - 125 = 0

x = 5.17 or x = 0.19

Therefore to break even, the price of the ice cream cone needs to be $0.19 or $5.17

c) g(x) = k(x - 2)

g(x) = -125(x - 2)² + 670 (x -2) - 125

Maximum profit is at g'(x) = 0

g'(x) = -250(x-2) + 670

-250(x-2) + 670 = 0

-250x + 500 + 670 = 0

250x = 1170

x = 4.68

g(4.68) = -125(4.68 - 2)² + 670(4.68 -2) - 125 = $772.8

Therefore function g has the same maximum value as function k

The answer is just x

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f([tex]f^{-1}[/tex](x))

Lets work the brackets first!

[tex]f^{-1}[/tex](x)

To solve we are going to find the inverse of the function.

[tex]f^{-1}[/tex](x)

f ⇔ y

∴ y = x

Interchange x and y

x = y

Solve for y

y = x

∴ [tex]f^{-1}[/tex](x) = x

Now let's solve the rest of the equation.

f(x) = x

∴ f([tex]f^{-1}[/tex](x)) = x

prove by factorization √16×81=√16×√81

Answers

Answer:

√16×81 = 4×9 or √1296 = 36

√16×√81 = 4×9 = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

√81×16

We simplify 81 and 16 by prime factorisation (expressing a number as a product of its prime factors).

√81 = √3×3×3×3 = √9×9 = √9² = 9

√16 = √2×2×2×2 = √4×4 = √4² = 4

A sample proportion of 0.36 is found. To determine the margin of error for this statistic, a simulation of 100 trials is run, each with a sample size of 50 and a point estimate of 0.36.


The minimum sample proportion from the simulation is 0.28, and the maximum sample proportion from the simulation is 0.40.


The margin of error of the population proportion is found using half the range.


What is the interval estimate of the true population proportion?





(0.30,0.42)


(0.20,0.52)


(0.24,0.48)


(0.22,0.50)

Answers

Answer:

(0.30, 0.42)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sample proportion is = 0.36

Number of trials required for determining the margin of the error = 100

Sample size, n = 50

The point estimate = 0.36

The minimum sample proportion form the simulation = 0.28

The maximum sample proportion from the simulation = 0.40

Also the margin of the error of population proportion is found by using the half of the range.

Therefore, the interval estimate for the true population proportion is = (0.30, 0.42)

Step-by-step explanation:

this is the easiest way to solve for percentage:

[tex]\frac{part}{whole} =\frac{part}{whole}[/tex]  Where all the percents (except 100) would go in part

and the whole number would go in whole

[tex]\frac{25}{100} =\frac{?}{24}[/tex]  Then multiply 24 × 25 ÷ 100 = 6

[tex]\frac{15}{100} =\frac{?}{60}[/tex]  Multiply 60 by 25 then divided by 100 = 9

Then for the last one 9 is what percent of 72

all we have to do is multiply 9 and then convert 72 into a decimal (0.72)

Solve using the zero-factor proper (13x + 7)(6x - 7) = 0​

Answers

Answer:

x = -7/13 and x = 7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the zero factor property, set each factor equal to zero, and solve for x:

13x + 7 = 0

13x = -7

x = -7/13

Solve the other factor:

6x - 7 = 0

6x = 7

x = 7/6

So, the solutions are x = -7/13 and x = 7/6

Answer is x=7/13 and x7/6

Answers

Answer:

452.4 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume half sphere = 1/2 volume sphere

Volume sphere = 4/3πr²

Volume = 4/3*3.14*27             Radius = 1/2(6) .     3³ = 27

Volume ≈ 113.1

Volume Cylinder = Area circle x hieght

Area circle = πr²

Area circle = 3.14 * 9

Area circle = 28.26

Volume cylinder = 28.26 * 12 = 339.12

339.12 + 113.1 = 452.22

Because of rounding it would be ≈ 452.4
