Consider the following.

P = −0.1s3 + 6s2 + 400.

Required:
a. Find the amount s of advertising (in thousands of dollars) that maximizes the profit P (in thousands of dollars).
b. Find the point of diminishing returns.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A) s = $40 (in thousands of dollars)

B) point of diminishing returns is at;

(20, 2000) in thousands of dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the profit function as;

P = −0.1s³ + 6s² + 400

A) To maximize the profit, we need to find the first derivative and equate it to zero.

Thus;

dP/ds = -0.3s² + 12s

At dP/ds = 0, we have;

-0.3s² + 12s = 0

0.3s² = 12s

0.3s = 12

s = 12/0.3

s = $40 (in thousands of dollars)

B) To find the point of diminishing returns, we need to find the 2nd derivative of the given profit function and equate to zero.

Thus;

d²P/ds² = -0.6s + 12

At d²P/ds² = 0, we have;

-0.6s + 12 = 0

0.6s = 12

s = 12/0.6

s = 20

At s = 20,

P = −0.1(20)³ + 6(20)² + 400

P = -800 + 2400 + 400

P = 2000

Thus; point of diminishing returns is at;

(20, 2000) in thousands of dollars

On a lunch counter, there are 3 oranges, 5 apples, and 2 bananas. If 3 pieces of fruit are selected, find the probability that 1 orange, 1 apple, and 1 banana are selected (does not have to be in that order).

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Probability = \frac{1}{24}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Oranges = 3[/tex]

[tex]Apples = 5[/tex]

[tex]Banana = 2[/tex]

[tex]Total = 10[/tex]

Required

Determine the probability of 1 orange, 1 apple and 1 banana

Since, order is not important:

[tex]Probability = P(Orange) * P(Apple) * P(Banana)[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{3}{10} * \frac{5}{9} * \frac{2}{8}[/tex]

The difference in the numerator is as a result of picking the fruit without replacement

[tex]Probability = \frac{30}{720}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{1}{24}[/tex]

Probability is simply how likely something is to happen.

The probability of 1 orange, 1 apple, and 1 banana are  [tex]\frac{1}{24}[/tex]

On lunch counter,

Number of oranges = 3

Number of apples = 5

Number of bananas = 2

If 3 piece of fruit is selected then, probability of 1 orange, 1 apple and 1 banana

                          [tex]=\frac{3}{10}*\frac{5}{9} *\frac{2}{8} \\\\=\frac{30}{720}\\\\=\frac{1}{24}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability of  selecting 1 orange, 1 apple, and 1 banana are [tex]\frac{1}{24}[/tex]

<b and 50° are vertical angles so that means they are congruent.  So that means <b is 50.

<c and 50° are supplementary angles which means when you add them you should get 180. So if do 180 - 50 we will get 130. So that means <c is 130°.

The mean mass of the 15 players in a rugby team is 85.2kg the mean mass of the team plus a substitute is 85.4kg what is the mass of the substitute ?

Answers

Answer:

88.4 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the mean we will need to multiply the mean by how many players there are on the team to find the total mass. (The second mean will be multiplied by 16 because it is the number of players on the team plus the substitute)

85.2 x 15 = 1,278

85.4 x 16 = 1,366.4

Subtract the first mass from the second because this will remove the mass of the 15 other players.

1366.4 - 1278 = 88.4

88.4 kg is the mass of the substitute.

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

18x-2=17x+2

step 1: isolate the x by subtracting 17x from both sides

18x-2-17x=17x+2-17x

x-2=2

then add 2 to both sides
