A company determines that its weekly profit from manufacturing and selling x units of a certain item is given by Px=-x3+3x2+2880x-500. Use a graphing utility to find the weekly production rate that will maximize the profit.
Digital cameras A company that produces and sells digital cameras has determined that the total weekly cost C of producing x digital cameras is given by the function C(x)=1.5x2150x+4850. Determine the production level that minimizes the weekly cost for producing the digital cameras and find that weekly minimum cost.
Concentration of a Mixture A 1000-liter tank contains 50 liters of a 25brine solution. You add xliters of a 75brine solution to the tank. (a) Show that the concentration C, the proportion of brine to total solution, in the final mixture is C=3x+504(x+50). (b) Determine the domain of the function based on the physical constraints of the problem. (c) Sketch the graph of the concentration function. (d) As the tank is filled, what happens to the rate at which the concentration of brine is increasing? What percent does the concentration of brine appear to approach?
Profit The demand equation for a microwave oven is given by p=1400.0001x, where p is the unit price (in dollars) of the microwave oven and x is the number of units sold. The cost equation for the microwave oven is C=80x+150,000, where C is the total cost (in dollars) and x is the number of units produced. The total profit P obtained by producing and selling x units is modeled by P=xpC. (a) Find the profit function P in terms of x. (b) Find the profit when 250,000 units are sold. (c) Find the unit price when 250,000 units are sold. (d) Find (if possible) the unit price that will yield a profit of 10 million dollars. If not possible, explain why.
