Answer:
The price that maximizes the revenue is $165
Step-by-step explanation:
We can model the price as a function of sold units as a linear relationship.
Remember that a linear relationship is something like:
y = a*x + b
where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
We know that if the line passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the slope can be written as:
a = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
For this line, we have the point (40, $110)
which means that to sell 40 units, the price must be $110
And we know that if the price increases by $11, then he will sell 2 units less.
Then we also have the point (38, $121)
So we know that our line passes through the points (40, $110) and (38, $121)
Then the slope of the line is:
a = ($121 - $110)/(38 - 40) = $11/-2 = -$5.5
Then the equation of the line is:
p(x) = -$5.5*x + b
to find the value of b, we can use the point (40, $110)
This means that when x = 40, the price is $110
then:
p(40) = $110 = -$5.5*40 + b
$110 = -$220 + b
$110 + $220 = b
$330 = b
Then the price equation is:
p(x) = -$5.5*x + $330
Now we want to find the maximum revenue.
The revenue for selling x items, each at the price p(x), is:
revenue = x*p(x)
replacing the p(x) by the equation we get:
revenue = x*(-$5.5*x + $330)
revenue = -$5.5*x^2 + $330*x
Now we want to find the x-value for the maximum revenue.
You can see that the revenue equation is a quadratic equation with a negative leading coefficient. This means that the maximum is at the vertex.
And remember that for a quadratic equation like:
y = a*x^2 + b*x + c
the x-value of the vertex is:
x = -b/2a
Then for our equation:
revenue = -$5.5*x^2 + $330*x
the x-vale of the vertex will be:
x = -$330/(2*-$5.5) = 30
x = 30
This means that the revenue is maximized when we sell 30 units.
And the price is p(x) evaluated in x = 30
p(30) = -$5.5*30 + $330 = $165
The price that maximizes the revenue is $165

earthquake hit Charleston, SC and was a magnitude of 3.8, then how much more
intense was the earthquake in LA?

A common logarithm is a logarithm with base 10. You can write a common logarithm logio * simply as log x, without
showing the 10
Many measurements of physical phenomena have such a wide range of values that the reported measurements are
logarithms (exponents) of the values, not the values themselves. When you use the logarithm of a quantity instead of the
quantity, you are using a logarithmic scale. The Richter scale is a logarithmic scale. It gives logarithmic measurements
of earthquake magnitudo.

Applying logarithms, it is found that the earthquake in LA was 251.19 times more intense, and the correct option is A.
The logarithm of the ratio of intensity of two earthquakes of magnitudes [tex]M_1[/tex] and [tex]M_2[/tex] is given by:
[tex]\log{\frac{I_1}{I_2}} = M_1 - M_2[/tex]
[tex]\frac{I_1}{I_2}[/tex] gives how much more intense earthquake 1 is compared to earthquake 2.In this problem, [tex]M_1 = 6.2, M_2 = 3.8[/tex], then:
[tex]\log{\frac{I_1}{I_2}} = M_1 - M_2[/tex]
[tex]\log{\frac{I_1}{I_2}} = 6.2 - 3.8[/tex]
[tex]\log{\frac{I_1}{I_2}} = 2.4[/tex]
[tex]10^{\log{\frac{I_1}{I_2}}} = 10^{2.4}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{I_1}{I_2} = 251.19[/tex]
Hence, the earthquake in LA was 251.19 times more intense, and the correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:
To compare fractions, we need to make sure that both fractions have the same denominator. For example, for question 4, the least common multiple of 5 and 3 is 15, so we need to multiply both fractions by some numbers to get the denominators equal to 15. In this case, we will multiply the first fraction, [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] by 3 to get [tex]\frac{9}{15}[/tex] and the second fraction, [tex]\frac{3}{3}[/tex] by 5 to get [tex]\frac{15}{15}[/tex].
Once we have the same denominator, we can simply compare the value of the numerators and see which one is larger. For question 4, since 9 is smaller than 15, the first fraction is smaller than the second. So the correct inequality to represent this would be "<".
To do these sums, we have to first convert them to like fractions.
For the first one:
LCM of denominators 5 and 3 is 15.[tex] \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 3}{5 \times 3} = \frac{9}{15} [/tex][tex] \frac{3}{3} = \frac{3 \times 5}{3 \times 5} = \frac{15}{15} [/tex]Since,[tex] \frac{9}{15} < \frac{15}{15} [/tex]Therefore,[tex] \frac{3}{5} < \frac{3}{3} [/tex]For the second sum:
LCM of denominators 6 and 8 is 24.[tex] \frac{4}{6} = \frac{4 \times 4}{6 \times 4} = \frac{16}{24} [/tex][tex] \frac{7}{8} = \frac{7 \times 3}{8 \times 3} = \frac{21}{24} [/tex]Since[tex] \frac{16}{24} < \frac{21}{24} [/tex]Therefore,[tex] \frac{4}{6} < \frac{7}{8} [/tex]For the third one:
LCM of denominators 10 and 5 is 10.[tex] \frac{6}{10} = \frac{6 \times 1}{10 \times 1} = \frac{6}{10} [/tex][tex] \frac{2}{5} = \frac{2 \times 2}{5 \times 2} = \frac{4}{10} [/tex]Since,[tex] \frac{6}{10} > \frac{4}{10} [/tex]Therefore,[tex] \frac{6}{10} > \frac{2}{5} [/tex]Hope you could get an idea from here.

A rectangle’s perimeter is 86in . Its length is 9in longer than its width. Use an equation to find the rectangle’s length and width.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let width be x
So length would be x + 9
If perimeter is 86, then
2(l+b) = 86
2(x + x+9) = 86
4x + 18 = 86
4x = 68
X = 17
Check:
2(x + x + 9) = 86
2(17 + 17 + 9) = 86
2(43) = 86
86 = 86

A pipe that is 165 feet long is cut into three parts whose lengths are in the ratio 2 : 5 : 8. Find the length of the longest piece. Longest piece: 2 feet
Answer:
88 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the shortest piece has length 2x, so the medium piece has length 5x and the longest piece has length 8x. Added together, they equal 165, so
2x + 5x + 8x = 165
15x = 165
divide both sides by 15 to isolate x
x = 11
8x = longest piece = 88 ft
