(b) How much profit will it earn at that output rate?
(c) if the market price dropped to $12, what should the firm do?
(d) how much profit will it make at that lower price?

Answers

Answer 1

(a) The firm should produce 15 units.

(b) It will earn a profit of $64.

(c) The firm should shut down.

(d) It will incur a loss of $18.

(a) How much should the firm produce?

To determine how much the firm produce, it needs to choose the output level at which marginal revenue (MR) equals marginal cost (MC). To do this, we can calculate the change in total cost and total revenue from producing an additional unit of output. The results are:

Output (units) Total Cost ($) Marginal Cost ($) Total Revenue ($) Marginal Revenue ($)

10 50 2 - -

11 52 4 16 16

12 56 6 30 14

13 62 8 44 14

14 70 10 58 14

15 80 12 72 14

16 92 14 96 24

17 106 16 120 24

18 122 22 144 24

19 140 18 168 24

From the table, we can see that the firm should produce 16 units because that is the output level where MR=MC and the marginal revenue is greater than the marginal cost.

(b) How much profit will it earn?

The profit earned by the firm can be calculated by subtracting the total cost from the total revenue. At an output level of 16 units and a price of $16 per unit, the total revenue would be 16 x $16 = $256. The total cost of producing 16 units would be $92, so the profit earned by the firm would be $256 - $92 = $164.

(c) What should the firm do?

If the market price dropped to $12, the firm should produce the output level where MR=MC, which is where the marginal cost equals $12. From the table, we can see that the output level at which MC equals $12 is 13 units.

(d) How much profit will it make?

At an output level of 13 units and a price of $12 per unit, the total revenue would be 13 x $12 = $156. The total cost of producing 13 units would be $62, so the profit earned by the firm would be $156 - $62 = $94.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle:

     We can find the width of the rectangle using Pythagorean theorem.

AD² + DC² = AC²

180² + DC²  = 195²

32400 + DC² = 38025

              DC² = 38025 - 32400

                     = 5625

               DC = √5625

                      = 75 ft

length = 75 ft

Width = 180 ft

[tex]\sf \boxed{\text{\bf Area of rectangle = length * width}}[/tex]

Select the correct answer. An experiment consists of rolling a six-sided die to select a number between 1 and 6 and drawing a card at random from a set of 10 cards numbered 1, 2, 3, ... 10. Which event definition corresponds to exactly one outcome of the experiment?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

You want to find the probability of one certain event happening. For example, you want the die to come up 5 and you want the 6 to be drawn from the cards.

The total number of outcomes is 6 (for the die) times 10 for the cards.

One 1 outcome is possible.

So the vent probability is 1/6*10 = 1/60. You will have to translate this to the choices you have been given. 1/60 = 0.0167 is another possibility.

Answers

Using the Pythagorean theorem and the law of sines, the correct lengths to the nearest hundredth and the angle measures to the nearest degree are: A) ME = 5; ER = 6, MR ≈ 7.81 m∠E = 90°, m∠M ≈ 50°, m∠R ≈ 40°

What is the Pythagorean Theorem?

The theorem states that the square of the longest side of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two smaller sides of the right triangle.

The points, M(3,2), E(3,−3), and R(9,−3) has been plotted on the graph which shows that angle E  is a right triangle, therefore:

m∠E = 90 degrees.

Find ME and ER:

ME = 5 units

ER = 6 units.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, find MR:

MR = √(ME² + ER²)

MR = √(5² + 6²)

MR = √(25 + 36)

MR = 7.81 units

Using the law of sines, find m∠M:

sin M/ER = sin E/MR

sin M/6 = sin 90/7.81

sin M = (sin 90 × 6)/7.81

sin M = 0.7682

M = sin^(-1)(0.7682)

m∠M ≈ 50°

m∠R = 180 - 50 - 90

m∠R = 40°

Thus, the correct lengths to the nearest hundredth and the angle measures to the nearest degree are:

A) ME = 5; ER = 6, MR ≈ 7.81 m∠E = 90°, m∠M ≈ 50°, m∠R ≈ 40°

The angles ∠1 ≅ ∠4 since the line BD bisects ∠ABC, AD║ BC, and AB ║ CD. This is obtained by using the angle bisector theorem, alternate interior angles, and the transitive property of congruence.

What is the transitive property of congruence?

Transitive property:

If ∠a and ∠b are congruent and ∠b and ∠c are congruent, then ∠a and ∠c are also congruent.

I.e., If ∠a ≅ ∠b and ∠b ≅ ∠c, then ∠a ≅ ∠c.

What does the angle bisector theorem state?

The angles bisector theorem states that the ray or line which bisects the angle divides the angle into two equal parts.

I.e., If line BD bisects the angle ∠ABC, then ∠B = ∠B1 + ∠B2

(where ∠B1 = ∠B2)

See below for the proof that the areas of the lune and the isosceles triangle are equal

How to prove the areas?

The area of the isosceles triangle is:

[tex]A_1 = \frac 12r^2\sin(\theta)[/tex]

Where r represents the radius.

From the figure, we have:

[tex]\theta = 90[/tex]

So, the equation becomes

[tex]A_1 = \frac 12r^2\sin(90)[/tex]

Evaluate

[tex]A_1 = \frac 12r^2[/tex]

Next, we calculate the length (L) of the chord as follows:

[tex]\sin(45) = \frac{\frac 12L}{r}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by r

[tex]r\sin(45) = \frac 12L[/tex]

Multiply by 2

[tex]L = 2r\sin(45)[/tex]

This gives

[tex]L = 2r\times \frac{\sqrt 2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]L = r\sqrt 2[/tex]

The area of the semicircle is then calculated as:

[tex]A_2 = \frac 12 \pi (\frac{L}{2})^2[/tex]

This gives

[tex]A_2 = \frac 12 \pi (\frac{r\sqrt 2}{2})^2[/tex]

Evaluate the square

[tex]A_2 = \frac 12 \pi (\frac{2r^2}{4})[/tex]

Divide

[tex]A_2 = \frac{\pi r^2}{4}[/tex]

Next, calculate the area of the chord using

[tex]A_3 = \frac 12r^2(\theta - \sin(\theta))[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]\theta = 90[/tex]

Convert to radians

[tex]\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]A_3 = \frac 12r^2(\frac{\pi}{2} - \sin(\frac{\pi}{2}))[/tex]

This gives

[tex]A_3 = \frac 12r^2(\frac{\pi}{2} - 1)[/tex]

The area of the lune is then calculated as:

[tex]A = A_2 - A_3[/tex]

This gives

[tex]A = \frac{\pi r^2}{4} - \frac 12r^2(\frac{\pi}{2} - 1)[/tex]

Expand

[tex]A = \frac{\pi r^2}{4} - \frac{\pi r^2}{4} + \frac 12r^2[/tex]

Evaluate the difference

[tex]A = \frac 12r^2[/tex]

Recall that the area of the isosceles triangle is

[tex]A_1 = \frac 12r^2[/tex]

By comparison, we have:

[tex]A = A_1 = \frac 12r^2[/tex]

This means that the areas of the lune and the isosceles triangle are equal

Statements is TRUE

Based on the graph of the general solution to the differential equation dy over dx equals 2 times x - 2 times y = dy/dx=2x-2y.

What is general solution to the differential equation?

A differential equation's solution is an expression for the dependent variable in terms of one or more independent variables that satisfy the relationship.

The statement which is true is the slopes are all positive in quadrant I.

Given the differential equation is dy/dx=2x-2y

A differential equation is an equation that contains at least one derivative of an unknown function, either a normal differential equation or a partial differential equation.

Given dy/dx=2x-2y

now slope=2x-2y

Along x-axis, y=0. So, slope=2x+0.

Since it depends upon x hence the slope along the y-axis are not horizontal.

Along y-axis, x=0. So, slope -2y+0.

The slope along the x-axis are also not horizontal.

In quadrant I:

x,y≥20

So, dy/dx ≥20

Therefore, the slopes are all positive in quadrant I. In quadrant IV,

x≥0,y≤0

so, dy/dx is not always positive.

The slope are not all positive in quadrant IV:

Therefore, the slope are all positive in quadrant I for the differential equation dy/dx=2x-2y.

Answers

The number of cuboids of dimension 2 cm x 3 cm x 4 cm, required to make a cube is 9.

Dimensions of the cuboid Deeksha made are given as 2 cm x 3 cm x 4 cm.

Thus, the volume of this cuboid = 2*3*4 cm³ = 24 cm³.

Using the formula for the volume of cuboid as the product of the three sides.

Deeksha wants to make a cube combining some number of these cuboids.

Assuming the side length of the cube to a, the volume of the cube = a³.

Assuming the number of cuboids required to make 1 cube to be n, we can write that a³ = n*(24 cm³).

To make this relation true, we need the right-hand side to be a perfect cube.

Prime factorizing the volume of the cuboid, we get 24 cm³ = 2³ * 3 cm³.

To make it a perfect cube, we need to multiply 3², by it.

Thus, n = 3² = 9.

Area of a rectangle

A rectangle is a 2D shape that has 4 sides and equal interior angles

If rectangle has a width of 2.45 feet and a length of 6.5 feet, then;

Width = 2.45 feet

Length = 6.5feet

A = 2.45 * 6.5

A = 15.925 square feet

If each side of the rectangle is increased by a factor of 5, hence;

This is used to show all of the vertices that have minimum eccentricities.

How to solve the matrix

We have

e 1 = 3

e 2 = 3

e3 = 2

e4 = 3

e 5 = 3

e 6 = 3

e 7 = 3

e8 = 2

e 9 = 3

e 10 = 2

Then the the diameter = maximum eccentricity = 3

The radius = minimum eccentricity = 2

center = [3, 8,10]

Answer:

y = -6x + 7.5

Explanation:

To find perpendicular bisector equation:

Given points: B(-2, 1), C(4, 2)

First find slope:

[tex]\sf slope: \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2- x_1} \ \ where \ (x_1 , \ y_1), ( x_2 , \ y_2) \ are \ points[/tex]

[tex]\sf slope: \dfrac{2-1}{4-(-2)} } = \dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]

Then the perpendicular slope will be negatively inverse.

[tex]\sf perpendicular \ slope \ (m) : -(\dfrac{1}{6} )^{-1} = -6[/tex]

Then find the mid point coordinates between BC:

[tex](x_m, y_m)= \sf (\dfrac{x_1 + x_2}{2} , \dfrac{y_2 + y_1}{2} )[/tex]

[tex](x_m, y_m) = \sf (\dfrac{-2 + 4}{2} , \dfrac{1 + 2}{2} )[/tex]

[tex](x_m, y_m) = \sf ( 1 , 1.5 )[/tex]

Then find equation:

y - yₘ = m(x - xₘ)

y - 1.5 = -6(x - 1)

y = -6x + 6 + 1.5

y = -6x + 7.5

The answer is y = -6x + 15/2.

First, find the slope of BC.

m = Δy/Δx

m = 2 - 1 / 4 - (-2)

m = 1/6

Hence, the slope of the perpendicular bisector will be the negative reciprocal of the given line.

m' = - (1/ [1/6])

m' = -6

Now, find the midpoint of BC.

M = (-2 + 4 / 2, 2 + 1 / 2)

M = (1, 3/2)

Now, we can find the equation of the perpendicular bisector using the point slope form of equation.

y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

y - 3/2 = -6 (x - 1)

y - 3/2 = -6x + 6

y = -6x + 15/2

A rectangular field is to be enclosed by 400m of fencing. Use quadratic to
determine what dimensions will result in the maximum area inside the fence. Show
all your work.

Answers

Work:

First it's a rectangle so its area is equal to the product (multiplication) of both sides of the rectangle (dimensions). A = a x b = ab

NOW: knowing the the circumference or perimeter is equal to 400m, we can say that P = 400 = 2(a+b) = 2a + 2b since the given polynom is rectangle. 2a + 2b = 400 <==> 2a = 400 - 2b <==> a = 200 - b.

We gave an expression of a in function of b. Now we can replace the variable a by 200 - b in the first expression of the area.

A = ab = (200-b)b = 200b-b^2 = -b^2 + 200b

A is now a quadratic equation. We note A(b) the epression -b^2 +200b so:

A(b) = -b^2 +200b

We can already see that A is a quadratic equation of the form:

ax^2 + b + c. The a coefficient is negative which will lead to closed parabola when looking from the top. Now we need to find the maximum of the function by using the derivatives:

A(b) = -b^2 +200b <==> A'(b) = -2b + 200b

and -2b + 200b = 0 <==> b = 100;

So the derivative function crosses the x-axis at (100; 0).

So is increasing over ]-∞; 100] and decreasing over [100; ∞[.

We obtain a maxima on (100; x) with A. To find it we need to replace 100 by b in the function A.

A(b) = -b^2 + 200b

<==> A(100) = -100^2 + 200 x 100 = - 10000 + 20000 = 10000

Now let's find a: if b = 100 what equals a ?

We know that ab = 10000 <==> 100a = 10000 <==> a = 100;

And we verify that ab = 100 x 100 = 10000.

The rectangle needs to be a square to reach the maximum area of 10000m^2 or also 0.01 km^2.
