(a) Use a formula to express the total monthly revenue R, in dollars, of this manufacturer in a month as a function of the number N of widgets produced in a month.R = 27N (b) Use a formula to express the monthly profit P, in dollars, of this manufacturer as a function of the number of widgets produced in a month.P =arrow_forward
- Suppose P(x) represents the profit on the sale of x Blu-ray discs. If P(1,000) = 4,000 and P'(1,000) = −1, what do these values tell you about the profit? P(1,000) represents the profit on the sale of? Blu-ray discs. P(1,000) = 4,000, so the profit on the sale of? Blu-ray discs is $? P'(x) represents the rate of change of the profit marginal revenue profit marginal cost as a function of x. P'(1,000) = −1, so the profit is decreasing at the rate of $ ? per additional Blu-ray disc sold.arrow_forwardexpress the price p in terms of the demand x, and find the domain of this function x=4,000- 40parrow_forwardSuppose that a computer software company produces and sells a new operating system at a cost of $55 per copy, and the company has fixed costs of $15,000 per month. Express the total monthly cost as a function of the number of copies sold, x, and compute the cost when x = 1000.arrow_forward
- The monthly cost for household water is computed based on the amount of water used in thousand gallons: kgals. A local water company charges a monthly service fee of $20 and then charges $1.25 for each kgal of water used up to 10 kgals. To discourage excessive use, each kgal of water beyond 10 kgals is charged at rate of $2.75 per kgal. a) Write a piecewise defined function for the monthly cost of household water, C, in terms of the amount of water used, x kgal. b) Using your model, determine the monthly water bill if 9 kgals of water is used by a household. c) Using your model, determine the monthly water bill if 14 kgals of water is used by a household. d) If a monthly water bill was $75, how much water did this household use (according to your model)? Be precise! Your answer should be accurate to 3 decimal places.arrow_forwardThe Ministry of Finance in Paradise Island determined that the import demand for Cognac is related to a proposed luxury tax using the formula: C(x) = √10000 − 40x − 0.02x2 where C(x) measures the percentage of normal consumption of Cognac when a luxury tax of x% is imposed on it. (i) Write a function for the rate of change import demand with respect to changes in the luxury tax. (ii) Find the rate of change of C(x) for a 10% tax. (iii) Find the rate of change of C(x) for a 100% tax.arrow_forwardOn a certain route, an airline carries 6000 passengers per month, each paying $200. A market survey indicates that for each $1 increase in the ticket price, the airline will lose 100 passengers. a. Express the number of passengers per month, N, as a function of the ticket price, x. b. The airline’s monthly revenue for the route is the product of the number of passengers and the ticket price. Express the monthly revenue, R, as a function of the ticket price, x.arrow_forward
