The total cost (in dollars) for a company to manufacture and sell x items per week is C=40x+180, whereas the revenue brought in by selling all x items is R=68x−0.4x2. How many items must be sold to obtain a weekly profit of $300?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The company needs to sell either 30 or 40 items.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the cost for selling x items given by the function:

[tex]C(x)=40x+180[/tex]

And the revenue for selling x items is given by:

[tex]R(x)=68x-0.4x^2[/tex]

The profit function is the cost function subtracted from the revenue function:

[tex]P(x)=R(x)-C(x)[/tex]

Substitute and simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} P(x)&=(68x-0.4x^2)-(40x+180)\\&=68x-0.4x^2-40x-180\\&=-0.4x^2+28x-180\end{aligned}[/tex]

To find how many items must be sold in order to obtain a weekly profit of $300, we can let P equal 300 and solve for x. So:

[tex]300=-0.4x^2+28x-180[/tex]

Solve for x. Subtract 300 from both sides:

[tex]-0.4x^2+28x-480=0[/tex]

We can divide both sides by -0.4:

[tex]x^2-70x+1200=0[/tex]

Factor:

[tex](x-40)(x-30)=0[/tex]

Zero Product Property:

[tex]x-40=0\text{ or } x-30=0[/tex]

Solve for each case:

[tex]x=40\text{ or } x=30[/tex]

So, in order to obtain a weekly profit of $300, the company need to sell either 30 or 40 items.

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

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

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)

The following discussion focuses on the change in production and selling strategies of Timken Co., the Canton, Ohio, firm that is a major producer of bearings:To counter the low prices of imports, Timken Co. in 2003 began bundling its bearings with other parts to provide industrial business customers with products specifically designed for their needs. Timken had begun bundling prelubricated, preassembled bearing packages for automobile manufacturers in the early 1990s. Evidence indicated that companies that sold integrated systems rather than discrete parts to the automobile manufacturers increased their sales. Other industrial customers put the same pressure on Timken in the late 1990s to lower prices, customize, or lose their business to lower-priced foreign suppliers. Manufacturers are increasingly combining a standard part with casings, pins, lubrication, and electronic sensors. Installation, maintenance, and engineering services may also be included. Suppliers, such as Timken, saw this as a means of increasing profits and making themselves more indispensable to the manufacturers. The strategy also required suppliers to remain in proximity with their customers, another advantage over foreign imports. This type of bundling does require significant research and development and flexible factories to devise new methods of transforming core parts into smart assemblies. The repackaging is more difficult for industrial than automobile customers because the volumes of production are smaller for the former. Timken also had to educate its customers on the variety of new products available.Timken has an 11 percent share of the world market for bearings. However, imports into the United States doubled to $1.4 billion in 2002 compared with $660 million in 1997. Timken believes that the uniqueness of its product helps protect it from foreign competition. However, the company still lobbied the Bush administration to stop what it calls the dumping of bearings at low prices by foreign producers in Japan, Romania, and Hungary.Required:a. What factors in the economic environment, in addition to foreign imports, contributed to Timkens new strategy in 2002 and 2003?b.
