Let P(t) denote the profit made by a company when t dollars are invested in advertising. The marginal profit is dP/dt .
(a) Explain the meaning of dP dt in practical terms. The expression dP dt is the additional profit expected if 1 more dollar is invested in advertising. The expression dP dt is the total profit expected if t more dollars are invested in advertising. The expression dP dt is the difference between the expected profit and the actual profit. The expression dP dt is the additional profit expected if t more dollars are invested in advertising. The expression dP dt is the total profit expected if 1 more dollar is invested in advertising.
(b) If the marginal profit is positive, should you invest more or less money in advertising

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  (a)  (1) The expression dP/dt is the additional profit expected if 1 more dollar is invested in advertising

  (b) you should invest more when dP/dt > 0

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

dP/dt is the rate of change of profit with respect to advertising dollars. That is, it tells the number of dollars the profit will increase if the advertising dollars increase by 1.

__

b)

Assuming that the advertising budget is already accounted for in the profit function, it is useful to spend more on advertising if that makes the profit go up. For dP/dt > 0, you should invest more in advertising.

When dP/dt = 0, no more advertising should be purchased. When dP/dt < 0, the advertising budget should be reduced to increase profit.

Step-by-step explanation:

2[tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex] barrels of almonds to make 3 batches of granola bar.

We need to turn fraction 2[tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex] into a mixed number

2[tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex] → [tex]\frac{21}{10}[/tex]

Now we set up an equation.

[tex]\frac{\frac{21}{10} }{3} =\frac{x}{1}[/tex]

Solve for x by cross multiplying and dividing.

[tex]\frac{21}{10}[/tex] ÷ 3 (KCF)

[tex]\frac{21}{10}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{21}{30}[/tex]

Now we simplify the fraction.

[tex]\frac{7}{10}[/tex] barrels of almonds were used in each batch.

Given A(-4-5), B(8,-1), C (-5, 9), and D (2,8) determine whether AB is parallel,
perpendicular, or neither to CD

Answers

Answer:

neither

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2 lines are parallel then their slopes are equal

If 2 lines are perpendicular then the product of their slopes = - 1

Calculate the slopes m using the slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = A (- 4, - 5 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B (8, - 1 )

[tex]m_{AB}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-1-(-5)}{8-(-4)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-1+5}{8+4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Repeat

with (x₁, y₁ ) = C (- 5, 9 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = D (2, 8 )

[tex]m_{CD}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8-9}{2-(-5)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-1}{2+5}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{7}[/tex]

The slopes are neither equal nor have a product of - 1

The perimeter of this triangle is
m.

Answers

Answer:

The perimeter of triangle is 33 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the triangle is Equivalent Triangle where all angles and sides are equal, so we can assume that:

7x - 17 = 4x - 5

7x - 4x = 17 - 5

3x = 12

x = 12 ÷ 3

x = 4

OR:

4x - 5 = 2x + 3

4x - 2x = 3 + 5

2x = 8

x = 8 ÷ 2

x = 4

Substitute x = 4 into all expressions:

7x - 17 = 7(4) - 17 = 11 meters

4x - 5 = 4(4) - 5 = 11 meters

2x + 3 = 2(4) + 3 = 11 meters

In order to find out the perimeters, you have to add up all the sides:

P = 11 + 11 + 11

P = 33 meters

Answer:

p = 33 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is an equalateral triangle all the sides are equal

-----------------------------

set any two sides equal

7x - 17 = 2x + 3

subtract 2x from both sides

5x - 17 = 3

add 17 to both sides

5x = 20

Divide both sides by 5

x = 4

------------------------------

Find the length of any side

s = 2x + 3

s = 2(4) + 3

s = 11

-----------------------

the perimiter is the three times any side

p = 3s

p = 3 * 11

p = 33 m

From the attached diagram for the question, we have that angle ∠1 and angle ∠5 on line AC and ∠3 and ∠6 on line AB are alternate interior on two parallel lines, and they are therefore, congruent.

Therefore

∠1 ≅ ∠5, and ∠3 ≅ ∠6 by alternate interior angles theorem which states that alternate interior angles, which are the pair angles formed in the inside face of two parallel lines crossed by a common and the common transversal but on either of the transversal, are congruent

Therefore, the missing reason in Step 3 is;  Alternate interior angles are congruent

you multiply the fractions 3/4 x 1/a and get 3/4a = 1/4

then you cross multiply and you get 12=4a

swap sides so its going to be 4a = 12

divide both sides by 4 and you get a = 3

This picture is an example of what the answers should look like.​

Answers

Problem 14, Part (a)

The given equation y = 2(x-10)+3 has a slope of m = 2. Anything parallel to this will also have the same slope, but a different y intercept.

Let's find the point slope form of the parallel line through (-4,1)

[tex]y-y_1 = m(x - x_1)\\\\y-1 = 2(x - (-4))\\\\y-1 = 2(x + 4)\\\\[/tex]

The point slope form is:  y-1 = 2(x+4)

Now solve for y to get the slope intercept form.

[tex]y-1 = 2(x + 4)\\\\y = 2(x + 4)+1\\\\y = 2x + 8+1\\\\y = 2x + 9\\\\[/tex]

The slope intercept form is:  y = 2x+9

============================================================

Problem 14, Part (b)

The original slope is m = 2. Apply the negative reciprocal to go from 2/1 to -1/2. The perpendicular slope is -1/2.

Using the same point (-4,1), we find that the point slope form is...

[tex]y-y_1 = m(x - x_1)\\\\y-1 = -\frac{1}{2}(x - (-4))\\\\y-1 = -\frac{1}{2}(x+4)\\\\[/tex]

The point slope form is:  y-1 = (-1/2)*(x+4)

Now solve for y

[tex]y-1 = -\frac{1}{2}(x+4)\\\\y = -\frac{1}{2}(x+4)+1\\\\y = -\frac{1}{2}x-2+1\\\\y = -\frac{1}{2}x-1\\\\[/tex]

The slope intercept form is:  y = (-1/2)x - 1

============================================================

Problem 15, Part (a)

Anything parallel to Ax+By = C will be in the form Ax+By = D. The only thing changes is the C becomes D, where [tex]C \ne D[/tex]. If C = D, then we'd be talking about the exact same line rather than two parallel lines.

We're given 5x+2y = 7. The answer is in the form 5x+2y = D. Plug in (x,y) = (0,10) to find the value of D

5x+2y = D

D = 5x+2y

D = 5(0)+2(10)

D = 20

The equation 5x+2y = D updates to 5x+2y = 20

Answer:  5x+2y = 20

============================================================

Problem 15, Part (b)

If you are given Ax+By = C, then anything perpendicular to this is Bx-Ay = D. Here it's possible that C = D; however, it's likely that they'll be different.

The given equation 5x+2y = 7 is perpendicular to anything of the form 2x-5y = D. We'll plug in the given point to find D.

2x-5y = D

D = 2x-5y

D = 2(0)-5(10)

D = -50

Answer:  2x-5y = -50

16 is 4% of what number?​

Answers

Answer:

400!

Step-by-step explanation:

16 times 25 is 400, therefore 16 is four percent of 400! Also, when finding out 4% of something, divide it by 25. When fiding 25% of something, divide it by 4!

16 is 4 percent of 400 as per the concept of percentages.

16 is 4% of 400.

To determine the number that 16 is 4% of, we can set up a proportion using the concept of percentages. Let's denote the unknown number as "x." The proportion can be written as:

16/x = 4/100

To solve this proportion, we can cross-multiply:

16 (100) = 4x

1600 = 4x

To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 4:

1600/4 = x

x = 400

Therefore, 16 is 4% of 400.

To verify this, we can calculate 4% of 400:

4/100 x 400 = 0.04 x 400 = 16

As we can see, 16 is indeed 4% of 400.
